Avariel

In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, the Avariel are a race of winged elves. They make their homes in open areas, and take immense joy in flying. They absolutely abhore and detest being inside, underground, or otherwise restricted from the open sky. According to Aerie, a character in the popular PC game Baldur's Gate II, based on TSR's v2.0 edition of Dungeons & Dragons, the Avariel have many stories of their kind that went underground, only for horrible and very nondescript things to happen to them.
