I know!
They move like horse's ears! It's a subtle and great detail.
And I've always loved gelfling faces. They're very delicate looking and unique.

Gelfling are so awesome.

I thought it was good but yeah I noticed that too they very often lacked that
Gelfling shaped face they very often just looked like humans with pointed ears
(and wings in the case of the women). However you could see it in some scenes
like the first chapter when Lahr gets knocked on his ass by a garthim and he's
looking down you can see the Gelfling muzzle but you're right for the most part.
Which sucks because I happen to think that the animal like face(cat?.. mouse?..
some kind of animal anyways.) that the Gelfling have is one of the things that
makes them so cool. I dunno maybe why, perhaps it's because humans tend to have
an affinity for animals in the first place so perhaps that is why Gelfling faces
are so much more visually stimulating as opposed to other pointy eared races
like elves that appear in other fantasy stories who just have normal faces. Also
too unlike
elves Gelfing ears aren't just pointy but they move, you know like animal ears
move.. Like the scene where Jen is in the swamp looking at the shard and he
hears a noise and as he raises his head his ears also perk up.. I know it's tiny
detail but it's cool as all hell to watch.
