Germanic lore featured light and dark elves (Ljósálfar and Dökkálfar).This may be roughly equivalent to later concepts such as the Seelie and Unseelie.

A fairy (also fay, fae, fey, fair folk, or faerie) is a type of mythical being or legendary creature, generally described as anthropomorphic, found in the folklore of multiple European cultures (including Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, and French folklore), a form of spirit, often with metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural qualities.

In the video game World of Warcraft, the Spriggan are a race of fae loyal to the Drust, a dark and twisted version of the fae.
The same goes for Chiwetel Ejiofor as dark fae Conall, who was seemingly mortally wounded protecting Maleficent. But this is a fantastical world, so who knows if he will be resurrected?
