Watching that, all I can think of is, No shark head? You'd think Mako would be a perfect spokesperson (if not for the whole violent schistic)..

If that's a real screenshot and not something that they doctored for the article, I'm going to be quite happy. If you don't get why, take a good look at it. Stripe pattern with a t-shirt. If this is going to be possible, awesome, I just hope it also bleeds over to other patterns/combos.

There are several pretty obvious themes not included in this pack actually:|

An Undersea Pack or Cold Blooded Pack perhaps? |
- Simian
- Bear
- Aquatic
- Amphibious
- Rodent
Not to mention a wider range of avian types aside from raptors, i.e. black bird, dove and tropical bird bits.
EDIT REGARDING BIRD BITS: Just read the intrepid informer post regarding the pack. Sounds like the bird beaks are details which may mean the hooked raptor beak is not alone. A good raven beak and a good tropical beak would be welcome. Hopefully we also get a few crown feather details (that ALSO can be used with human heads with hair or full masks?!? please oh please oh please!!) OKAY BACK TO THE REST OF MY POST PRIOR TO EDIT.
Don't get me wrong. The pack looks great. I was sold at [beast run]. Not sure how many parts I'll be putting to use on my characters right away, but I'm glad it exists and I'm sure in time I'll find good uses for elements. (Speaking of which--if any devs are reading and they haven't--the new patterns can be thrown into the capes section. That I would definitely use right away!)
Oh no, I didn't see a horse head! Please let there be a horse head. My Apocalypse Pony will be very disappointed to not have a horse head 
The Revenants and Vengeance Imperium-Triumph, Champion & now flavoring Justice!
Tanker Tuesdays & Brutal Thursdays. If you like fun, look'em up!
Shhh! Rangle is plotting.

They don't even have tail feathers to go with the eagle head.
When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...
BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!
I just hope the animal patterns are color tintable. I would normally not doubt such a thing but so far all the pics I've seen, the animal patterns are very "natural" colors. Gold lions, orange tigers, white bird head, black furred minotaur, grey wolf. So I hope that this is just samples but the finished product can be changed.
I really want to make a white\blue wolf, and black and purple panther, among others.

If not in this pack, then please just as a general update.

What is this I don't even

Wow... OK, WOW! I am impressed. Very, very, VERY impressed. Both by the quality of the trailer and by the quality of the costume items presented. I even spotted what looked like visible breath from the wolf as it was running. I wonder if that's available as an aura? I'd use it.
Man, and here I am with no specific characters prepared and in mind... See, this is what happens when the game doesn't have something for years and years - I forget what it was I'd always wanted to make

At a guess, it's an option for the "animal torso" - so you can't have the T-shirt and *not* have the stripes.

Yeah. A new animated tail item, from bones up, is something I'm quite interested in. Something that fans out wide and collapses at the right points in various travel animations. Shooting from the hip, tail feathers IIRC, close up for flight and fan for air breaking. So on the descent from leaps they'd fan out. And I guess twitch gently and fan open slightly then close back up on a long loop for idle animations.|

In addition to that, I'm a strong advocate for the introduction of "armpit wing" tech that can be adapted for all sorts of costume bits (including basic spandex underarm membranes) depending upon how it is skinned: feathers and fur of course, but also amphibious webbing, spider webs, shiny and matte spandex, etc. And would be totally fine if this item were mutually exclusive with back details like wings or capes and only available to tight upper body geometry.
I thought I saw a comment on the youtube page that this is comming out the 23rd of february? Is that confirmed anywhere? Seems odd they'd release the trailer 2 weeks in advance of it coming out, especially after it's been hinted at and teased at so much already. Seems almost cruel to keep showing us this is coming then not give it to us for a while. I know marketing is doing it and all that for their reasons, but normally they don't hype the boosters this much then keep us waiting for it so long.
