They look like actual "chorts" from slavic folklore, and the translation for this word to english usually suggests "Devil", although they actually are to Satan what elves are to Santa Claus. Not quite the "demons" in the english language, since they're usually corporeal.

The Sylvans in Witcher 3 is obese because he takes and feeds the tributes given him. Geralt even comments how obese they've become. Even Torque in the first witcher book started to grow a belly, but since he gave most stuff he plundered to the Blue Mountain elves, he stayed relatively healthy.

A couple of fat sylvans doesn't necessarily mean that cdpr was trying to change anything. I remember the one from "the last wish" and it came of as a very young sylvan, because it seemed that Geralt had to explain basic things to him that a child would already know. Btw, Last Wish/Sword of Destiny is probably my favorite book in the series, because it felt like a bunch of side quests, with a somewhat overarching narrative.

Yeah i think Relic is the classification of all the post-Conjunction creatures (so no cursed beings or spectres) that haven't been classified in a specific class (like Vampires, Orcoids/Goblinoids/Giants, Insectoids, Hybrid Animals, Draconids). On this note, each class encompasses a broad amount of beings that have little in common per se, take the Insectoids, for example: you have Endriagas that are your run of the mill insectoids, with differend classes (drones, workers, warriors, probably a queen was cited in the bestiary), but you also have Arachas that are described to be more akin to plants, and Arachnomorfs that look more like huge mutated spiders, or the Orcoids you get the trolls, but you also get Giants, and Nekkers (that are basically goblins). This is another peculiar trait that i like of this classification: it's not a naturalistic class system, it's something that the witchers made up to simplify their job

Could it be that the Sylvans seen in Witcher 3 are obese because the have a great access to food. Allgod gets food all the time from Humans and the Guardian of the three Witches (forgot the name) is likely also to get large amounts of food for guarding them. So my conclusion is there are non-obese Sylvans in Witcher 3 theoreticly but you just don‘t see them. Sorry for the inperfect english, im german

Humans didn't have sub 50 year life spans since we were Hunter gatherers. Living to 70 or 80 was pretty likely no matter who you were if you made it to about 30. It was so easy to die in a war or from getting the flu or just during birth that it pushed the average lifespan very low. So if you have a married couple who live to 70 and 75 and over their lives they have 8 kids. 6 die before turning one, 1 kid dies at 6 from tuberculosis and 1dies fighting in a war at 16. That's 70+75+0+0+0+0+0+0+6+16=167/10= 16.7
