I fear half-elves.
I adore them on paper. On paper "ohai, lets splash the coolest part of any class you want instead of a basic feat, get the useful human enhancements, AND a subset of some of the better elf abilities" is AMAZING. "want low level spells? BAM! Wanna get free DR an toughness x infinity+1?? WHAPPOW! Feel like adding your cha to saves? WATUSI!"
Ingame though? When I think of "uncanny valley", THAT'S THE MOST MONSTROUS DEFINITION OF HALF ELVES!
List of races that look AMAZING
Halflings(they are tiny AND sketchy looking. How can I NOT love that?)
Humans
Elves (each and every one of them looks like Iggy Pop to me, on some level. They just all look like insane junkies, and I love it)
Drows
Half Orcs
Dwarves
Warforged(I don't have words enough for my love of warforged)
List of races that SCARE THE @#$* OUT OF ME!
HALF ELVES(the human half)
THOSE CREEPY JAPANESE ANDROIDS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE PEOPLE
GIANT EYED ANIME PEOPLE!
HALF ELVES(the elf half)
HALF ELVES(ALL OF THEM TOGETHER)
HALF ELVES(OH MY LORD, IT BEARS REPEATING! THEY'RE TERRIFYING SUBHUMANS!)

Yeah, there's something off with the facial proportions. I think the eyes are a tad too far apart and the forehead too large.

I'm not your guy, friend
He left the name, at which the world grew pale.
it's not just that. Eyes are to far apart, there's no lines around the eyes to deliniate them from the rest of the face, the nose is overlarge(a normal elf/drow can pull it off, with a narrower face and more pointed chin, but on a round face, a nose that's proportionally a full 1/3 of the face will stretch the face out way to much) there are NO cheekbones on them, and SOMEHOW, the laugh lines on the half elves are less than what are on both humans and elves.
So..basically, disproportionate, moon-faced uncanny valley mutants.
Their lips are tiny and scrunched together and seem painted on to their face... even more than lips usually are.
It's like they tried to take a human male head, give it a female elf face, and male elf proportions. For the male helves, at least. Not sure about the female ones, I don't play female characters usually.

Hey Devs! Let's give Warpriests and Eldritch Knights some loving, kay? :<
The funny thing is, the top one is a half-elf.
I wish we could make half-elves look that good.
On that note, don't get me started on the horrible painted-on "stubble" that half elves can get.

Technically isn't since the children of a half-elf and a human is a human.
Nevertheless have the 'life of the eldar' on the veins.
The line of elros half-elf keep breeding with humans and elrond-the-shaved went on with elves.
Tanis would be a better example, dun recall if he had pointy ears but was more known for his beard.
His son Gilthas however, turned out, um, kind of how half-elves are in DDO, to say it nice.
