He was apparently a Mysterious Nature Spirit Dude.™ :-) He looked pretty much human, although sufficiently short and stocky (IIRC) to suggest part-Dwarven ancestry. But he was already around long before humans or even elves appeared in Middle-Earth. My not-very-well-informed guess is that, like Gandalf and the other wizards, he's one of those spirits who predated the physical world and entered it in humanoid form once it was created.

So elves are just extremist hippies, then? I think you're extrapolating unjustifiably from Spock's disguise in Star Trek IV. :-)
