I am just full of ideas right now. So here's my next idea - providing a size scale for the sylestis.
I suggest this idea because, to my point of view, some sylestis look like they should be smaller than others just based off how they are drawn. For instance, I think the Morkko, Nytekkre, and Lighra should be larger than a Vulnyx, Puffador, and Zolnixi, but to see them side-by-side on the battle page, it looks like they all are similar sizes with each other and that just bugs me a little. So, I thought I'd suggest it as a possible improvement. There is no real loss or gain in this suggestion, except that it adds just a drop of realism in this fantasy world of cartoony creatures and avatar people.
What do you think?

There's two major issues with this.
The first is just the technical part. We already have the artwork created for our current species. Changing it at this point is pretty much unfeasible (or a waste of resources).
The second is that for species like the Bulbori, they would be so small that you wouldn't be able to see any details at all.
The size difference between a Ny'vene and a Bulbori is like 7 feet. If they were drawn to scale, the Bulbori would be a little blob.
So instead, we aim to draw every species as if you zoomed in on them. The larger species are the ones that appear smaller in the image box (like the Ny'vene).

Thanks for responding. The way you explained it makes perfect sense.
