Lala Children Pls

[Antonio_Xul]

Maybe to distinguish full grown female Lalafell to girl is make grown female Lalafells with actual boobs. At least they will look less like kids that way. Males just add facial hair.

Lalafell child npcs are rare, but they have been in the game since 1.0. They have always looked like slightly more baby-faced lalafells.

Um. That "child" was actually taller than my toon

Your what?

Toon = Character in MMORPG speak, usually used by WoW-players and has spread since. >w>

This. Although the word has been actively used in every MMO I've played in the past ten years (and I've played quite many). With the notable exception of FFXIV. Weird people

Sorry for derail, let's get back on topic.

Lala's don't actually have children as such. We have a potato phase, it's a kind of a chrysalis or egg. Eventually the potato cracks open and a new Lalafell emerges.

And it's one of the worst terms in mmo history that I really wish would stop forever.

So, going off the likely line of thinking that Lalafells grow to full-size comparatively early next to other races...

Imagine the suffering being a popoto-bachelour (or even just another race with a thing for Lalas). Is that guy or girl you want to hit on of-age? Are they 20, or 10? No way of knowing!
There should be a full cultural analysis of this phenomenon. Like, is there some way that their culture has adapted to distinguish? Particular styles of dress between age groups? Make-up? Minutely noticeable details in facial structure, posture or body language?

You could write a whole new Lorebook on this stuff.

No way of knowing? Now wait, being close to full height only affects that, what about ear shape/size? Or the eyes? There could be many subtle physical indicators of age that members of other races are essentially unaware of.

you don't pluck lalas from the ground till they reach maturity.
