This smallish humanoid sports a pair of expressive sparkling eyes, lightly tanned skin, and a wide grin from ear to ear. Cute is too kind of a word for this caricature of elven descent. A faintly shimmering golden aura surrounds him.
Hunting strategies
Grasp of the Grave (709) is useful for keeping the Ilvari knocked down, which prevents them from disappearing and pranking you. You should put danger colors on the writhing dreamvines, their knock down will keep stacking more RT. The Ilvari will cast dispel, and can block magic. Watch out for your runestaff or weapon being turned into a banana, you will have to "open" the banana incurring several seconds of RT. Keep your containers closed or they will fill them with heavy stones to weigh you down. There are a variety of ways to have your stance forced down or made prone to attack.
Other information
There are a wide array of pranks and environmental hazards in the Ilvari village. The "threads of enchantment" temporarily modify your stats such as Strength and Wisdom, sometimes lowering them, other times boosting them. The Ilvari pixies are male elementalists and the Ilvari sprites are female spiritualists with empath attack spells. In principle their magic dispels can react off each other causing damages.
