How long are elven ears, in general, on Zalanthas?  I mean, are we talking long like Link?



Or even longer, like an elf from the Warcraft world?



Or are they short, and just pointy, like Legolas' depiction in the Lord of the Rings films?



I've been wondering this for a while, so I find it odd that I just now decided to make a thread about it.  Anyway... yeah.  How big are Zalanthan elf ears?

I've always pictured them somewhere between Link and Spock.
We were somewhere near the Shield Wall, on the edge of the Red Desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Ever see fake elf ear at Ren Fest/Sci-Fi Conventions? That's what I always picture.
The man asks you:
     "'Bout damn time, lol.  She didn't bang you up too bad, did she?"
The man says, ooc:
     "OG did i jsut do that?"

I love the players of this game.
That's not a random thought either.

That picture is the ONLY time you'll ever see those races standing that close together ... ... ... and even then, the halflings couldn't help themselves.

I've always loved how the mantis is about to gank the mul.

I figure it's something that could vary from elf to elf. I mean, in the real world, human ears are all sorts of different shapes and sizes, aren't they?

Though I always figured the LOTR-style pointed ears would better suit half-elves or dwarves, just because they weren't all that pointed.

I picture them with Drew Hayes elf ears.

Wow ... those ears are worthy of netsex.

Those aren't ears. Those are practically wings.

And after a second look, I noticed that the ears actually keep going, it's just that the top of the picture crops them off.

Agreed.

How uncomfortable would a raised hood be with warcraft ears?

I have never noticed that thing gnawing on the half-giant's foot.
I tripped and Fale down my stairs. Drink milk and you'll grow Uaptal. I know this guy from the state of Tenneshi. This house will go up Borsail tomorrow. I gave my book to him Nenyuk it back again. I hired this guy golfing to Kadius around for a while.

I'm willing to bet that that elf could easily beat the human and the half-elf in arm-wrestling. More strength to the elves!

Ever notice that the mantis is missing a set of legs?
A gaunt, yellow-skinned gith shrieks in fear, and hauls ass.

I picture more like the Link ears on elves. Though the Drew Hayes elf there looks like a real badass, doesn't he?

A glossy, black-shelled mantis says, in insectoid-accented sirihish,

I think a taller lankier legolas, with much more angular features and more almond shaped eyes is  a Zalanthan elf to me.

I've always pictured them to be just extremely lanky, angular-feature, almond-eyed humanoids.


works for me.
