Notes

• Sylvar use the female draenei skeleton.
• Concept art refers to them as fauns.^[4]
  • Early Warcraft III and Warcraft RPG lore describe dryads as having the lower body of "woodland fauns".^[5][6][7][8] In Cataclysm, Shael'dryn uses "faun" as a term for young dryads.^[9] Based on the context, these uses of "faun" may simply be a misspelling of fawn, a juvenile deer.
  • In Roman mythology, fauns are the equivalent of the Greek satyrs, i.e bipeds with goat-like legs and horns on their heads.
• Sylvar name almost certainly came from latin word "sylva"/"silva" which means "forest".
