Is there any relevant information regarding why Cenarius displays night elf physical features?
It would make sense as he was intended to be working with the Night Elves. At least in human psychology, we tend to be more trusting of folks who look like us.
It could also be a design aesthetic from Elune given the Night Elves are her “favored children.” Or all of the above and more.

although elune isnt really represented in a humanoid form she probably has one that is somewhat nelf-like.

I had considered that, then I thought about how the night elf’s were originally trolls, that would mean that elune shaped them from trolls to looking more like herself, which makes me look at the night elves differently because she could have probably shaped any race into the night elves if she had wanted to.
I had originally viewed the night elves simply as trolls who had mutated.

Nothing specific.
Hes the child of Malorne and Elune supposedly and supposedly by legend the Night Elves were shaped through the Wells energies into a shape reminiscent of Elune. But none of that is proven beyond legends and myths and there is no real explanation that I know of.

Well, we do know that Elune considers the Night Elves her favored children.
It would make sense that she shaped them to look like her.
And Cenarius is her child.
Legends and hearsay.
?
She literally calls them her favored children when talking to the Winter Queen.

I thought Elune took the shape of her favored children, not the Elves are shaped to favor Elune. That whole romance is just wrong. Like I misspelled a website name and now I have to delete my cookies and run the antivirus wrong.
hands off parenting style
cough
Blizzard didn’t have the lore planned out ahead very far when they made WC3.

This always bothers me that Elune seems to favour Elves over Tauren who are far more benign to nature than a bunch of stuck up mutant Trolls…

Maybe it’s night elves who display Cenarius physical features.
