Am I the only one that doesn't like the use of huge as a descriptor for being tall? It just doesn't fit and according to dictionary.com isn't quite in line with the meaning of the word.

This isn't a huge issue (haha, Spyguy is so funny) for Arm as it is now but I wouldn't mind it changing for Arm 2 so I don't think all these elves are so fat. Maybe towering as a good alternative?
Ya, towering.
ps SpyGuy is funny.
I agree that towering is a better word.
Huge always makes me think half-giant, before I realize that he's just a really tall skinny elf.
Towering would be neat.
You are not alone.
I'm also getting tired of obese muls. No one would ever let a mul get fat unless it were for an expensive practical joke.
The dapper, blue-eyed young man says, in sirihish,
"Lord Tor, Lord Aprilious Borsail the First has sent us a gladiator mul as a gift! It should be here any moment."
The pudgy, red-cheeked mul has arrived from the east, flabby folds jiggling as he trudges in.
The pudgy, red-cheeked mul stumbles to a halt, then strikes an exaggeratedly fearsome pose with a pair of axes. The axe blades are very obviously made of paper.
The muscular, haughty old man shouts, shaking his fist towards the ceiling, in sirihish,
"Damn you Aprilious!"
Agreed with both SpyGuy and MM. If 'towering' replaced 'huge', then 'huge' could replace 'obese'.
