** The Nazarick raiders arc featured a particularly colossal AssholeVictim whose fighting style consists of attacking while making his elven [[SexSlave sex slaves]] (which he regularly rapes for good measure and replaces when they're dead, to the distaste of other slavers due to how expensive elves are) cast buffing magic on him. So when he runs into an enemy he has no hope against ([[spoiler:Hamusuke the giant hamster]], who cuts off his hands), he demands that they heal him, and they kick him to death before he can bleed out. Unfortunately, as karmic and cathartic as his death was, he was pretty much the ''only'' [[WhatASenselessWasteOfHumanLife unsympathetic human in that arc.]] Ainz agrees to [[ThrowTheDogABone spare the elves]] since [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure they did not trespass into Nazarick willingly]], has their clipped ears healed and keeps them around to serve fellow elves [[PintSizedPowerhouse Aura and Mare]], which all things considered is a massive step up; he later offers to let them return to their homeland, but the elves reply that [[IChooseToStay they wish to stay]], having grown accustomed to their new life and acknowledging that Nazarick is probably the safest place in the world.

* The story ''The Apothecary Is Gonna Make This Ragged Elf Happy'', begins with an apothecary that goes to the closest city to buy the ingredients he needs for his medicines, when his usual vendor offers to sell him an elf, since elf body parts are supposedly used for medicines and magic potions (though the apothecary, in an internal monologue, states that's not true). The apothecary decides to take a look, and sees a traumatized, dying elf-woman, who can barely see and hear. The vendor adds that due to her health, the nobleman that used to own her sold her to him at a cheap price, and he in turn was willing to sell her to the apothecary so cheap since he had no intention of being a slave trader. The apothecary decides he'll help the elf-woman recover and names her Rezzure since she lost all her memories, including where she lived and even her original name. At the end it's explained that [[spoiler: Rezzure was a healer in [[SecretElfVillage her elven city]], and when she went out into the nearby forest to gather the necessary ingredients for her magic potions, she was kidnapped by some slavers, sold to the nobleman who routinely beat and raped her until she was too sick and injured to be any use to him and sold her off in the hopes she would die under someone else's care]]. Eventually the nobleman was [[spoiler: arrested and brought to stand trial for what he did, and it's implied he would suffer a gruesome faith at the hands of Rezzure's sister, who is a member of the royal guards]]

* The House Elves from the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' series are a race of HouseFey that are slaves of wizards. Hermione even founds a charity devoted to releasing them when she discovers just how miserable their lives are by human standards, but in fact most of them don't want to be freed. It's implied that they have an inborn ''need'' to serve, but that doesn't mean it's okay to treat them badly. Kreacher even undergoes a HeelFaceTurn simply because Harry treats him well.

* %%* The House Elves from the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' series are a not an example of this trope. To quote the page description: "This trope only applies if there's some proof that the race of HouseFey that are slaves of wizards. Hermione even founds a charity devoted used to releasing them when she discovers just how miserable be a proud and noble one, before their lives are by human standards, but 'fall'." There is nothing to even suggest this anywhere in fact most of them don't want to be freed. It's implied that the books, therefore while they have an inborn ''need'' to serve, but that doesn't mean it's okay to treat them badly. Kreacher even undergoes a HeelFaceTurn simply because Harry treats him well. are "elves" who are enslaved, they are not Enslaved Elves.

** The Ayleids, or Wild Elves, gradually experienced this when their civilization was overthrown by the Alessian slave revolt. Though the Ayleids who sided with Alessia survived the revolt [[PersonOfMassDestruction and the wrath of Pelinal]], the subsequent Empire of Cyrodiil was so hostile to them (due to the centuries of abuse humans had suffered) that their culture eventually crashed and many Ayleids either were turned into second-class citizens, slaughtered by anti-elf fanatics, emigrated to High Rock, or faded into the wilderness, hence their eventual renaming as the "Wild Elves."
