Насколько можно судить по оригинальному тексту и краткому содержанию, все же Азимов имел в виду именно эльфа, похожего на насекомое.<br/>
<spoiler>«Jan Prentiss, a fantasy writer is busy at work, when a foot-long talking insect materialises before him. He declares that he is an elf, and is in fact a mutant—a „super-elf“—with new powers that he is still experimenting with.»</spoiler>
No, no, no… Give us two or three story twists if you haven't already been spoilt by an excess of such tactics… Now, if he played a devious game from the start, and we thought he was a sucker from the pitch the author, and she turned out to be such a… viper, and we already knew who was who, and then… boom! He was not at all a sucker, but simply pretended to toy with the victim like a cat with a mouse, and it is only now that it is evident who is who…<br/>

Факт тот, что первый раз рассказ был опубликован под названием The End, но потом автор вернулась к названию Things, потому что именно оно делает правильный акцент. Даже прочитав её объяснение, понятное дословно, я всё-таки не поняла смысла, вложенного в название Things, поэтому приведу его в оригинале, может кто объяснит:)<br/>
«Damon Knight, editor mirabilis, first published this story in a volume of Orbit, under the title 'The End'. I don't now remember how we arrived at it, but I suspect he thought that 'Things' sounded too much like something you see on the television at one A.M., with purple tentacles. But I have gone back to it because — at least after reading the psychomyth — it puts the right emphasis. Things you use; things you possess, and are possessed by; things you build with — bricks, words. You build houses with them, and towns, and causeways. But the buildings fall, the causeways cannot go all the way. There is an abyss, a gap, a last step to be taken.»

Очень похожий по смыслу рассказ из сборника «Созвездие Льва-4», озвученный Олегом Булдаковым — <a href="https://yadi.sk/d/CeIZAkojm8wLeg/04.%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%20%D0%90%D0%9D%D0%94%D0%95%D0%A0%D0%A1%D0%9E%D0%9D%20-%20%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF.mp3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">yadi.sk/d/CeIZAkojm8wLeg/04.%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%20%D0%90%D0%9D%D0%94%D0%95%D0%A0%D0%A1%D0%9E%D0%9D%20-%20%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF.mp3</a><br/>
Правда, «градус» страха там все-таки пониже, но… написан он в 1961 году.
А мне очень нравится вот этот фрагмент его выступления:<br/>
«Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!<br/>
<br/>
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!”

I think it's still threatening at the end. If he loved this robot, the protagonist would not have said the last line «I'm finally alone!». he shoud say «we» too
