Lalafell's weight? The other races?

[Yenh]

Like the title says, what does the community think the weights of Lalafells are?

We know the height of the races... (credit: http://harmonywins.tumblr.com/)

Race 0 50 100

Roeg♂: 7'0.1" 7'3.4" 7'6.7"

Roeg♀: 6'3.6" 6'9.6" 7'3.7"

Elezen♂: 6'4.4" 6'7.5" 6'10.2"

Elezen♀: 6'0.2" 6'3.8" 6'6.8"

Highlander♂: 6'0.2" 6'3.8" 6'6.8"

Highlander♀: 5'6.2" 5'11" 6'1.8"

Midlander♂: 5'6.1" 5'8.9" 5'11.6"

Midlander♀: 5'2" 5'4.5" 5'7.1"

Miqo'te♂: 5'2.7" 5'5.4" 5'8.2"

Miqo'te♀: 4'10.9" 5'1.4" 5'3.8"

Lalafell♂: 2'10.2" 3'0.2" 3'2.2"

Lalafell♀: 2'10.2" 3'0.2" 3'2.2"

but what about their average weights ?

[Rilasha]

You don't ask ladies about their weight... orz Or is it age? Or both?

But you'd think Lalafellin weigh less than other races by quite a bit.

Only a four inch height spread for Lalas, I feel just a bit cheated. Not that we should have lanky Lalas running around as that would defeat the purpose, but man.

Just out of sheer boredom... these are all rough estimates taking into account the fact that characters are unlikely to be fat based on the time period, as well as that muscle mass weighs more than fat and as adventurers we're bound to have more muscle and less fat.

Hyur (Male Midlander): 160 - 180 lb.
Hyur (Female Midlander): 130 - 150 lb.
Hyur (Male Highlander): 170 - 200 lb.
Hyur (Female Highlander): 140 - 160 lb.

Miqo'te (Male): 150 - 175 lb.
Miqo'te (Female): 125 - 150 lb.

Elezen (Male): 145 - 170 lb.
Elezen (Female): 135 - 160 lb.

Lalafell: 35 - 50 lb.
(There's no real difference between male and female Lalafell physiques...)

Roegadyn (Male): 250 - 300 lb.
Roegadyn (Female): 175 - 225 lb.

Au Ra (Male): 185 - 210 lb.
Au Ra (Female): 115 - 135 lb.

... again, just rough estimates. (An' I'm too lazy to translate them into kgs, so if you want those do it yerself.)

Definitely off on the weight estimates for the larger races. Highlander males can be close to 6'7" and are heavily muscled, take someone like LeBron James, who is 6'8" and an athlete and he's 250lbs. Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime competing weight was around 230 lbs and he's only 6'2". So I'd say highlander males would be closer to low end weight of 200lbs with higher ones closer to 250-280lbs.

Then we get to Roegadyn and hoo-boy. Shaquille O'Neal is 7'1" and weights 344lbs. He hardly has the same mass as a roegadyn though, so minimum weight for a male Roe is probably no lower than 400lbs, and that would be a pretty thin roegadyn! Andre the Giant was 7'4" and again wasn't nearly as broad and muscled as roegadyn and he weighed a whopping 550lbs! So Roegadyn could easily reach weights of likely close to 800lbs! Crazy!

Your Lalafell speculation however is probably pretty close. They likely weigh no more than 60 lbs on average given their more rotund bodies. The average 4 year old human is around the same size and weighs about 40-45 lbs, given lalafell have pretty large heads comparitively and their rounder bodies this is a safe guess.

Of course that's assuming that their musculature isn't incredibly more dense than the other races which is possible given they have comparable strength to races much larger than themselves.

I would have guessed the average Lalafell weighs about the same as a sack of popotoes...

I stand corrected. Forgot it's an exponential curve, not a linear one... and physiology isn't my strong point.
