i just noticed something interesting, it seems that some npcs are noticable taller than our characters, even from the same race; these are 2 screenshots i took, the first is from an adventure (forgot its name, the defend the village one) the SS doesnt show it too much, but the chua npc on the right part of the image, when side by side with my own chua he is a head taller than mine 
 
 
and this other one is one i took recently on farside, you can see the obvious difference in size of my draken in comparison to Kezrek warbringer

Chua know is teenager....
But is good theory for non-roleplayers

The technical explanation would probably be "so you can differentiate important NPC from players in a potentially crowded HUB", but it can also be "large and in charge".
Also, some NPC have a different size depending on the mission, for example, Laveka is much bigger in Skullcano than in Deradune.

			Partly they've made scaling changes to NPCs and PCs over the course of beta that didn't always get globally propagated, but in addition, the big name NPCs have always been bigger than players of a similar race (I believe WoW does the same thing for similar reasons).

			I think more like young adults around the age early 18-24 in my opinion when choosing a youth face, Some faces can make your character look in the late 20s or early 30s like female Draken's first face selection. That has a mature look than youthful.

			Certainly explain why we're still having this same war  centuries later :P

I always thought of the reason behind it is when players are hording around the npc that making them larger will prevent clicking complaints.

			If I'm taller than you irl, does that mean I'm older than you?!

Kezrek is a big, angry slab of muscle and teeth.
 
You don't get to be called Warbringer by being a shrimp.
 
Size does not denote age, is the point I'm getting at.
 
Far as I know, actual models for children don't seem to exist.
