I'm a little irked at how the Latin names of the fantasy species in this mod are little more then Canis Latinicus (WARNING: WEBSITE IN THE LINK IS EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE! CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK!!) So here is my revised latin names:

Elves: Homo serenus (Fair man)
  • Santa's elves (assuming they're a seperate subspecies): Homo serenus borealis (Northern Elf man)
  • Orcs: Homo serenus turpificatus
Dwarves: Homo nanus (ditto)
Trolls: Homo ferox borealis (Wildman of the North: trolls originated in Scandinavian folklore)
 
About the elves' Latin name: I was originally going to have the species name be "alfus" (which according to the Latin Wikipedia is the Latin word for elf), so "Homo alfus" should also be a good Latin name for the elves.

So here are the alternate names:

Elves: Homo alfus
Santa's elves: Homo alfus borealis
Orcs: Homo alfus turpificatus
