It would really be nice to have those in the pack Would really like to have a bear skin cape for my Clone of Odin, but I don't think it will be in there. maybe we can convince them to make a savage pack|

Think Kraven the Hunter's lion head or Hercule's lion skin cloak But these packs have only so many parts in them. And when my expectations get too far afield from what has already been teased at (in this case one feline and one avian themed set) I tend to get wildly disappointed. So this is my remedy. |
A good Lion Head with a full mane is what I'm hoping the most for but would like to see Cobra Snake head, a New Dragon head, Bear head, and Tiger Head
and rather the give us a new power just let us custom the beast heads with horns, crowns, ect.
I hope they reveal the pack soon so people don't get too high hopes

Whatchoo talkin' about, RemusShepherd?!
But... if they tackle the ornithorhynchidae in the first pass, they can cover all ornithorhynchidae (since there's only one!).
It's perfectly logical!!
Haha... No, I really would just like an actual duck bill to use, but I am happy with what I have now (The wolf tail surprisingly adds a nice touch, even though it is completely wrong).
Anyway... as with all things regarding the platypus... Expect to be surprised!!
(not entirely serious about anything!)

Going by comic book tradition, there should be some kind of monkey head too

For the love of Mike, the following:
ATTRACTIVE CANINE HEADS. Not stupid looking ones like we have now, and this incudes the dog/pig head worn by Warwolves, that we don't even have access to. Hate all current canine heads, make with some nice ones PLEASE.
CAT HEADS. Not only the nice looking one we got the tiny shot of, but patterns that will enable housecat and tiger patterns. Those might actually be doable with one stripe pattern.
ALLOW HAIR WITH THE DOG AND CAT HEADS. This includes a nice lion mane as a hair option with the new heads. Thank u.
AN ATTRACTIVE DRAGON HEAD. Come on, the game is umpteen years old, its time and past time for this.
I would like to see antlers as a head option, but if we can get even part of the above I would be pleased. We're not getting platypuses, folks. We're not getting duck heads. Throw that right out of your minds, we will be lucky to get even *part* of the above and you know deep down in your hearts that I speak truth.

Yes, this. I have no desire to play as Eagle-Head Man but I'd love some furred garment options, loincloths, tied leather vests or other costume options that could relate both to Eagle-Head Man and other more human characters.|

This pack will be my "Mutant booster" as regarded by the animal-costume folks. If it's all animal stuff, count me out. If they throw in some token costume items to appeal beyond that (as they did wolf tails), I'll take a look.

I know which design looks better, and has potential to be used on Heroic characters as well.

That would be sweet, but I'm holding out for decent coloring options on that bird head. Need to upgrade my raven.

I'm actually surprised they're booster material. I'd hoped for a new high-level Praetorian zone where these kinds of critters would feel right at home.|

Imagine a "lost world" styled land (kind of a staple of the superhero genre) just outside of Praetoria. Its a place where Hamidon has begun the process of reverting the earth back to what it was before man... where perhaps captive humans are mutated into part-animal forms to take the place of creatures previously driven to near extinction.
Of course, Hamidon seems to like more of a "devoured" look for human captives... so maybe this is the work of a twisted scientist that believes he's "saving" humanity by distorting them into forms that Hamidon doesn't see as a threat to the earth...

One thing they could do is separate animals from monsters, so that the animal pack only has real animals in it, and then a monster pack released at, say, Halloween, could have monster parts in it, like dragon heads, tentacle arms and so on.

Well, the law of averages says that you'd see sense eventually
