What might this be?

I was running around Cap Au on a lower pop server when I came across this:



Sorry for the image quality - I was on my laptop with graphic settings on performance. I caught it out of the corner of my eye and turned back. It looked like a character on its knees, with a fox outfit over him, and he was pawing at the ground. Is this a temp power or emote or some such? I've never seen it before. And the person was logging out before I could ask.

I think it's a growl emote or something...let me see if I can find it before you get a good answer.

Could be the 'Growl' emote that came with the Mutant Pack. I think that's the one but it puts the character on all fours.

Still, that's a neat costume.

I didn't make it in time.

But in the wiki you get to see hilarious "moving" hair.

Interesting. Where does the fox "outfit" come from? And thanks for the responses.

Am I the only one who thought for a moment that that wasn't a CoH avatar because the costume was so well done to make it look like an animal?

I actually thought it was an animal skeleton leak.

When I first saw it I thought maybe it was a vet pet or some such. But then I noticed an actual character under there. It's late at night and I'm a bit tired so it was quite surprising to see.

I did. The more I look at it, I can see what they've done but it did make me look twice.

Darn. I thought they were finally adding more creations into the game. I think the only animal we have currently are seagulls.

My guess at some of the pieces used:

GENERAL
- pitch-black skin
HEAD
- Face: [any], Viper (orange)
- Hair: [any] (orange, orange)
- Ears: Wild Cat (orange, white)
- Detail 2: Breather 2 (white, white)
TORSO (tights)
- Chest: tights (orange), no pattern
- Shoulderpad: spiked collar (white, black)
- Gloves: monstrous, full, dagger (orange, black)
LEGS (monstrous)
- Pants: monstrous large, tights, blend (black, orange)
- Feet: large claws, bare
- Tail: animated - wolf tail (orange w/ white tip)

Beat me to it.

And, yeah, I too was taken aback by the costume. At first glance, I thought it was a hoax of some sort, posting a screenshot that's not even from City of Heroes. But I recognised the tail, then the ears, then the legs, then finally the Dagger pattern on the gloves.

It's a very well-made design, definitely, but I don't think it's something I'd want to copy. It involves using a breather as a snout, which a breather is not. The shot doesn't really highlight how out of place it looks from that angle, but nah. I might consider it if and when we get proper animal snouts.

In the meantime, I'm too busy making a quite literal cow girl.

I saw player = Vulpine (I think that was the name) during the PERC Costume Contest in Pocket D on Triumph over the weekend. She passed the first screening. Unfortunately, I didn't make the cut, so I didn't hang around to see how she did.
