SE says lalafell are short and stocky. But that only describes the fact that they're not slim and that as we all know they're fucking short.
Just because they're not explicitly stated to be in combat means squat when they place them just as much as they do in Roegadyn and Hyur (and Miqo'te? I think I saw a Miqo'te Brass Blade) all around Thanalan. I mean, sure they're armed. But are you going to put someone with dwarfism out there when you could put another average size joe schmoe?
