Blood Elves

Blood elves stand from just above five to a little over six feet (1.82m) in height and weigh anywhere between a hundred to a hundred and seventy five pounds (45.35-79.37kg), gender dependent. Remember that this is an average and can vary by up to fifty pounds.

Blood elves are born into an inherent addiction to arcane energy due to the bodily saturation from living around the Sunwell. Because of this they require regular doses and have noted physiological responses to over and underdosing. Overdosing on arcane energy can lead to becoming Wretched, a state of being in which the elf is reduced to a husk of their former self and seeks only to fill their addiction. Underdosing leads to hostility, cravings, and physical weakness as well as the potential to overdose when acquiring a new source. Due to the nature of energy transfer, it seems likely that this omnipresent access to the arcane manifests itself physically by fueling the speed and agility attributed to most elves.

While elves have not proven themselves stronger than humans physically, they are typically faster and more limber. Because of their lack of inclination to put on size it is possible that elves are the only Horde race that are weaker than humans in terms of sheer muscle mass. Despite this, they are not universally weaker than humans as a race - rather, they are approximately on par and individual strength would be assessed on a case by case basis rather than as an assured racial advantage.

Though elves have typically higher physical capabilities than humans, it is unlikely that their natural pain tolerance is in any way superior. There is no indication of such and it seems probable that they are approximately on par with humans in this field.

Blood elf cell DNA show no almost no sign of deterioration or malfunction upon replication, allowing them to maintain a youthful look and capability long into their lives.
