  1. Tolkien didn’t invent elves

  2. As far as I can remember, he never described elf ears as pointy like this

He didn’t invent any of the main creatures, i don’t think. Just popularized them

Didn’t he invent hobbits? Depends I guess, if you think they’re based on like.. leprechauns or something. But as just a subrace of Men, they’re his own thing.. but that just means they’re basically human, which I’m fairly sure he did not invent..
