You're right, that would be more appropriate. I don't understand why they kill animals when they are supposed to be protectors of the forest! It doesn't make sense. Maybe those aren't real furs?
By the way, the fact that they don't worship beasts is definitely true. They already worship Silvanne, so where else would they put totems?

Unicorns are spirits of nature, and therefore they are sacred to all Elven society. They are considered the totem animal of all Irollan, for it is prophesied that when the last Unicorn dies, Irollan - the Elven Kingdom - and all its inhabitants will perish as well. Although the truth of this legend is unknown to anyone, the shimmering aura of Unicorns endows them with the ability to shield their allies from enemy spells.

You're wasting your time with nonsense... "Defender of the Forest" doesn't mean vegetarian. Elves need to eat and dress. If we follow your logic, then elves should also shoot humans for hunting animals and cutting down trees for their homes, etc. In general, the elves in the 5th part are very similar to Native Americans, who also hunted and killed animals, but only in the amount necessary to survive, while the Americans-cowboys-bastards went and shot all the buffalo in a short period of time, often just for fun.
It's better to discuss the demons – why don't they comply with fire safety regulations?

Well, I don't know, maybe they do eat them... Although, they could be growing something to eat, which seems more reasonable. But you're exaggerating about the clothing. They can't make clothes out of animals. Just think about it - they're warm, they have Battle Druids, Dryads, and Archers, and they don't wear clothes made from animals. So why would Druids, who are supposedly the wisest of the elves, do it?

Well, the comment about clothing was sarcasm. And dryads don't wear animal clothing because they are forest spirits and don't need clothes. Archers don't wear them to blend in with the background; seeing deer antlers on a tree, it's unlikely anyone would think it's a deer and not an elf. As for the animal skins on druids, the artists probably messed up; they likely didn't know what to add to the druids to make them stand out from the others, and they ran out of ideas. :(

Where else would you put dendroids if not with the Elves? And they are essential in the game now; since the third part, these guys have been protecting the forests. Yes, in the third part, fairies belonged to a different faction, but firstly, that faction isn't in the fifth game, and secondly, fairies as forest spirits are more appropriate among the Elves than the Elementals.

I agree, but in Heroes 5, there aren't fairies, but forest spirits: pixies, dryads, nymphs; they blend very well with ents, and in the Conflux, I would rather place some kind of fairies, like spriggans, for example, or leprechauns.
