I actually want to make a list of things that one would expect to be in this pack, but actually aren't at this point:|

*Monster Leg options. Specifically lower leg options to go with Claws and Hooves.
*Monster Upper Arms for the three Robotic Arms torsos. Red Right Hand, anyone?
*Monster Heads. Hopefully, these are coming.
*More tails. Hopefully, these are coming.
*A chest piece. we have shoulders, why not a chest piece in the same style?
*A belt. Same style as the shoulders and chest.
*A hairstyle. Infested Kerrigan would like to donate her tentacle rasta.
*With Skin options. More specifically, for the Organic Armour pieces.
*Organic armour and Bioliminescent textures for smooth gloves and boots.
P.S.
Can we PLEASE get a more human face with those glowing eyes? They're great, but either please give us an upgrade of the Glowing Eyes face that we already have, or an additional face that's just human with glowing eye.

This sums it up pretty well for me.|

Anyways, I can dig the costumes. The Bio set looks pretty cool and useful for reptile/aquatic themed characters. And the Organic looks like it'd fit for a wide variety of characters, depending on how far your imagination goes. I could see it working for fire, earth, spines, maybe even ice related characters, which are all common mutant abilities. Too bad everyone's going to end up using the whole set at once and won't even attempt to be creative with it. Also digging the new costume change emotes. |
The term "mutant" has far greater scope than just "furry" in the sci-fi/super-hero genre, which is what CoX falls into.
With few exceptions, like TNMT, mutant has nothing to do with anthropomorphic.
I can already see dozens of potential applications for some of these parts, provided that I can get decent texture matches.
That having been said, I think that tail(s), monstrous hand and foot/lower leg options are very much needed.

So, part of this pack, or part of another pack, or a free release?

Both Bioluminescent and Organic Armor have tails. They simply missed the current build, but they'll be in the next one.

Say, David, can you guys be convinced to add a With Skin version of the Organic Armour chest and legs and possibly make the transition between Bioluminescent legs and monster feet a tad smoother?|

I'm not really making demands here. Just asking.

Be well, people of CoH.

And to be a bit of an SOB, maybe link the two together somehow? Whether having the them different parts, as well, or linking together. may be too much to ask, but thought I might as well. X3|

Edit: By that I mean, what i was saying earlier. I want the Bioluminate stuff to, somehow, get the Organic Armor attached to it, as I think it would look wicked cool that way.

David, thank you for coming in and addressing some of these issues. I don't suppose you'd care to weigh in on our perceptions of what this pack should be vs. what it actually was?
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
Unless Mr. N can outright say, "The next pack is Super Booster VI: Beasts and Animals," I'm not sure his presence here will do much to allay concerns. (Outside of the missing tails.)
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

To be honest, just having him here discussing the merits and reactions should do quite a bit to make people feel better. Developer interaction, especially with the Paragon Studios team, always seems to raise spirits around here, and for good reason. It's awesome! |

Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
I just went on test and had some fun playing with this. I'll have to do some experimenting to see how I can mix-and-match these pieces, but I am loving the glow effect. It's hella nice!
The wings are awesome, I think a friend of mine is going to flip when he sees them- they would be perfect for his demon summoner.
I'm hoping we'll see more glowing costume parts like these in the future, the effect was worth turning ultra mode on for!

Sweet mercy, Jay.. you've given me Lady Gaga-esque costume parts! I love you.

Arbie, I demand you post screencaps of your Gaga costume when it is finished, either here or on Twitter.
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
I normally don't post on the forums, but I know I'm kinda disappointed.
I was expecting something like X-men and a mix of animal type parts. Everything
here looks just demonic or supernatural. It's funny growl is an emote given with
the look of the armor.
I can tell you guys had a fight or debate over there cause it seems like a amalgamation
of just odd stuff that ended up a demonic pack.
I was dying for fox tails, animal parts, and more x-men looking traits.. but this is
more harder edge looking like a demon pack to me.
I also thing that a lot of people wanted more 'cute' pieces too! ^^ Which this isn't. =(
(Or I wanted a few cute pieces at least.)
And enough with the furry stuff. @@ There's Tigra, Sabertooth, Beast, and even
characters like Wolverine have animal traits that are subtle. There will always be people
that abuse anything released no matter what.
I'm really disappointed, I hear David saying tails will be added, but I have a feeling they're
going to look just over the top like the rest of the pack.
*Sad Panda*

I'd also would like to see some more auras. We haven't had any added through the Boosters since Cyborg. Maybe something like Warshade eye-flares, or a combat-triggered power-aura (like on the Cyborg Booster; thinking like Marvel's Phoenix or Psylocke), or a something with floaty power effects (sort of like those you see on the Thermal Shields).
Also: Organic Armor Shield Texture, Organic Armor/Bioluminescent claws, please.
