Elven Ears - Short

Listen, "Humies", it's not always about the size of your ears but how you use them... Also, we swear it's just cold outside.

And yes we know that's an Orcish racial slur we used, you pathetic mayflies.

Your Elven Ears hear the rustle of footsteps behind you. A smile crosses your delicate lips as you realize a stranger is attempting to sneak up on someone as lithe and alert as you. You are the kindred of the immortals, having honed your skills for hundreds of years. No normal mortal being can surprise you.

“Come out of hiding,” you call over your shoulder. “I know you are there.”

Again your Elven Ears pick up the faintest noise, and as you hear the ‘thwap!’ of an archer’s bow, you spin and dodge the incoming arrow. It appears some lesser creature is about to receive an important lesson about attacking an elf as powerful as you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Elven Ears Short are prosthetic ears molded in a classic pointed shape, a common sigil of the mythological elf. These latex ears add 3 cm to the human ear at the helix, and are as smooth and elegant as an elven ear should be. The ears are modelled to cover and form-fit over the outer ear of a child, allowing for plenty of surface area in which to securely and safely glue the latex to the wearer’s skin.

The Elven Ears Short prosthetic is made from thick 100% natural high-quality latex, making it strong and durable, ensuring long life and extended reuse. Application of this prosthetic is easy using Epic Effect Prosthetic Power Glue, Mastix Spirit Gum or other prosthetic adhesive.

The Package contains instructions in English and French.

These Elven Ears Short are unpainted, but can easily be painted to match the style you desire using Epic Effects Make-Ups.

Available in Medium/Large.
