    Depends.

    Do you count Highborne as a separate group from Night Elves?

    Are Void Elves considered Blood Elves and High Elves to you?

    What qualifies you as being an elf in fantasy context? If its just pointy ears, then that opens up another can of worms.

    Well I am explicitly talking about World of Warcraft.

    There aren't any other Elves other than mentioned right?

    Elves just evolve. All of the elves mentioned in the OP are actually from the same exact chain, so Blizzard could create more, just like they did with the Void Elves.
    Dark troll->Night Elf, which Branches out to Highborne, Nightborne, and High Elf. High Elf basically changed to Blood Elf, which branched out to Void Elf.

    If you want you could possibly count Naga, and Wretched? There were also the Fel Elves from Magister's Terrace, and the Sunwell. If you really stretch it you could maybe count the dragonflights, as most of them seem to prefer Elves as their humanoid forms.

    Also have in mind that Whitered may be separated into:

    -Blood Elf / High Elf Whitered

    -Nightborne Whitered (this are separated in 2 stages, mindless and starving -starving is when they are skinny and frail but still are themselves)

    -Nightelf Worgen

    Note: Also you could separate normal undead elves from San'layn as they are a little bit different in the sense of how they work and what they can do (they use blood magic and consume blood)

    Most of them are, and then we have those others that came from the product of Elves (Whitered, satyr, naga, san'layn, felblood elves, etc...) and the trolls are what the elves were before becoming... well elves.

    Really depends on how you define a specific strain of "Elf." High Elves are a mutation of Night Elves due to the Sunwell and/or loss of the Well of Eternity, so you're by default including derivations based on Arcane or external mutations - this includes the Fal'dorei (Night Elves mutated by the ruined Arcan'dor), Void Elves (mutated or altered by the Void), the San'layn (Elven "vampires" created by the Scourge), and the Shadowsword Felblood Elves (a further mutation of Blood Elves caused by drinking the essence of Terrorfiends).

    If you limit it to "pure" extracts of Elvenhood I would say you're more or less correct as all of the above have distinctions that separate them from the base Elven lines.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

    Here I was thinking like Half Elves at most. I’m surprised there was never dark elves.

    really, a drakkari troll is an elf to you? I'm guessing you think a baboon is a type of human too?

    I’ll take your word for it. But I don’t know how Trolls who worship death became night elves.

    Night Elves used to fill that niche, but now Nightborne do that (even more with the Faldorei -basically a reference to the Dark Elves and how some of them get turned by their goddess when they disobey into Elf/spider hybrids)

    A small group of Trolls (Dark Trolls) moved to what we know as the Well of Eternity and made their society there and started using its power, it slowly changed them into what we know now as Night Elves.

    Also... You could say that the Druid of the Flame Elves are a whole different kind of elves.

    A reclusive and distant tribe of Trolls, referred to only as "Dark Trolls," came to settle around the Well of Eternity and over time were altered by its power and evolved into the first Night Elves. The power gleaned from the lifeblood of the Azeroth world-soul, as well as Titan relics they were mysteriously led to by its influence, gave rise to a new religion fostered around what would become Elune. At first, these proto-Night Elves worshiped both the Loa and Elune in equal measure, but it's speculated that as they continued to evolve they generally shed their worship of the Loa (though they still kept a sense of reverence for the Ancients and/or Wild Gods due to the love of nature) and centered around Elune herself.

    Wowpedia have a nice separation of their evolution:

    Zandalari troll
    Dark troll
    Night elf > Highborne
    Worgen
    Satyr
    Nightborne
    Felborne
    Fal'dorei
    Nightfallen
    Withered
    Naga
    High elf > Blood elf
    Void elf
    Darkfallen
    Felblood elf
    Wretched
    Undead elf

    Note: As i pointed out, you could add Flame Druids under Night Elves.

    Why only 4? If you take out all the trolls in that list, you still have 9 other elves. (Not counting Satyr nor Nagas)
