Elatha was a king of the Fomorians who was atypical of the usual features of the Fomorians in that he was fair of hair and body.

He was not as blood thirsty as his fellow Fomorians either as when his son Bres came looking for his aid in subjugating the Tuatha Dé by force, Elatha replied: rule them by justice not force, and would not give any of his men to help his son instead he sent him to Balor and to Indech other kings of the Fomorians and they helped him. 

He lived to the north in a beautiful palace.
