I thought that was only from the viewpoint of trolls (a troll Runelord (or Runepriest?) had a ceremonial obligation to eat large amounts of vegetable matter, but elves counted).

Perhaps, I'm not sure.
I remember playing RQ many years ago when it was firmly tied to Glorantha.
Elves were described as essentially vegetable matter.
Still perhaps that was just the GMs POV.

Googling it now, there's some debate about that.
Some view it as they're Hermaphroditic beings, but not actually made of vegetable matter, but have a Symbiotic relationship with plant matter.
So the exact answer is probably kind of complicated.
I'd need to have a read of the actual RQ/glorantha rules to be sure.
I do have them in a box somewhere at home.

The official rules for Gloranthan Elves on the subject
http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/pdf/lcgloranthaintro.pdf?PHPSESSID=fc014911f7dc9788a160d482aae94fee

Aldryami (Elves)
Glorantha's so-called elfs, who refer to themselves as aldryami,
are mobile, intelligent plant beings in humanoid form. Some
appear quite human, with only the odd vegetable feature, like
vines for hair. Others are covered with bark or thorns. Each
elf is the human-like manifestation of a particular type of
tree: there are birch elfs, oak elfs, ash elfs and so on. Brown
elfs spring from deciduous forests. Green elfs are found in
coniferous forests; yellow elfs, in jungles.
They enjoy a sense of mystic harmony with the woods and
jungles around them. In place of gods and goddesses, they
commune with several life forces found within the Song of the
Woods, most notably the lovely Aldrya the Grower.

So they're definitively sapient plants in Glorantha

They sound vaguely like dryads, but not tied to specific trees.

On the other hand, this means my estimation of Gloranthan troll humor has now gone down.

Quote from: danskmacabre;820558I propose you create a new thread about Female Elves and beards and if you don't you're a Misogynist...  ;)

Interesting suggestion, since my question was about male elves and beards. Was the gender change because discussing characters' appearances is automatically about female characters? :p

Oh yeah, so you did, I guess I was just focused on the whole female/beards thing.
Well the answer to your first question is, Tolkien Elves generally don't have beards (with some exceptions as discussed earlier).
In DnD, I don't particularly remember seeing elves portrayed with beards and in the Dragonlance world, Krynn I think, it specifically states Elves DON'T have beards, male or female.
I suppose that doesn't exclude Forgotten realms elves from beards, or Golarion Elves though.
