Undead elves (sometimes called undead high elves) are a subrace of the Forsaken, but also undead humanoids, in general. They are one of that undead amalgamation's key members, with representatives serving as high and powerful members up to and including their leadership, Horde Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner. The distinction between them and most of the formerly human Forsaken as political or racial entities is not often made.
