Question Why is Stan a Elf ?

Post image

In south park the stick of truth Stan is in the team with Kyle and the Elves but I think he is clearly a human and should have been with Cartman.

Because Stan is always going to side with Kyle against Cartman.

Stan sided with neither when it came to PlayStation vs Xbox

But why is it allowed for him to be a human?

I think of him like Aragorn. He is a human, but spends most of his time with the elves.

Its inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, and Humans are an acceptable race/class in D&D

It’s like the Riders of Rohan teaming up with the Elves

It's the boys roleplaying and playing make belief don't much thought into it. The most likely scenario is that Stan, for obvious reasons, didn't want to play with Cartman
