There is debate on what animal Anubis has the head of, though it looks too slender to be a hyena. It is possible hyenas looked different thousands of years go though.
You speak as if you have authority which you do not have. All that is just your own beliefs (or parroting the beliefs of someone else who made it up).
Norse myths never describe what the elves (alfs?) actually look like, so they could have originally been any height.
The wolf ears is a wild...
Elves have a wide range of heights across all fantasy media. There is no one true answer for how tall an elf is.
I find the idea of Tolkien style tall elves and short Santa elves existing in the same world to be a funny thought. Could build a game around a conflict between the two.
I don't have animal people as player options in my games, as it comes too close to furries for me. Not to yuck anyone else's yum, just not for me. The closest I've come to it would be a satyr I allowed once, and there was talk of a merfolk another time. So animal bodies I guess are OK, just...

When a topic is discussed that involves a group of people, I tend to value the words of someone in that group over someone outside it. Not that the other people should be ignored or silenced, just that the insider view is more valuable.
Oh, I never had any thoughts on someone in a wheel chair being forced to play a character that's also in a wheel chair. I am skeptical on the number of players, disabled or not, that would want to play such a character. It's fine as an option though. Anyone know the sales numbers for those...
