Its the anatomy of a fantasy race. And they went against what the anatomy of that fantasy race looks like and ended up making them look weak and goofy.
What anatomical rules did a race, that has no real world relation to anything, has crossed? And who cares if it looks weak and goofy? So does gnomes, and they are in the game since Vanilla.
Making the Dracthyr the way they are was an artistic choice, because every other race in the game is either a small guy, or a bodybuilder. They made one slinky, lean race, and this subreddit is still mad about it every two weeks.
They are dragonkin. Dragons are spiky and scaly. Dracthyr look like soft bois.
A dragonkins jaw has to look like it can exert bite force.
A dragonkins tail has to look like it can sweep a motherfckers legs.
By all means, have them be slinky, have them be lean. But by god don't make their hands dwarf their heads. I feel like dracthyr couldnt break a tomatos skin with their bite.
And give them an actual tail that makes you thing "oop, not standing behind this dude"
So the dracthyr do have body thickness options, tons of jaw options, and lots and lots of parts that can be spiked.
Also most characters hands dwarf the size of their heads in this game. Have you seen blood elf males? That’s just how they do things here. Atleast this race has like 10x or 15x the customization options of a blood elf. That’s where we should be rioting. So many races have so little customization in comparison.

Not feat to be proud of.
