[Beast Mastery] Make Alpha Wolves visually distinctive

The other special MM third tier 1 pets have something distinctive about them so that you can pick them out the pack.

Arsonists look different. Medics get a satchel, don't they?

Alpha Wolves should have something to make them stand out a notch. Not sure what you could add though. Maybe a tuft of hair on its head or back, a distinctive fur pattern, just anything to set it apart visually would be a nice addition.

Uhm not saying I wouldn't like them to look more unique but in your examples the Arsonist has different powers as does the Medic which is probably why they were made to look distinctive.

There is no special tier 1 alpha wolf, thus all the wolves look the same. Just like how:

All the tier 1 Zombies look the same
All the tier 1 Battle Drones look the same
All the tier 1 Genin look the same

Again not saying it's right for the devs to do it that way, just pointing out that there's a pattern.

Maybe they could give the fur slightly different base colors. brown, white, silver/gray.

"The third one summoned will be an Alpha Wolf, which grants some leadership bonuses to the pack...

The third Howler Wolf you summon is an Alpha wolf. He has a self heal power and an AoE damage debuff. He serves more of a support role."

so ummmm yea there could easily be a distinction for the alpha wolf, bigger, blacker or another color [theyre all identical, arent they...? :/], fuzzier mane, aura, more fleas... anything.

but it's not like the cut any corners with this set anyway...

:/

...

:shakes head:

I was confused as to why they named it Alpha Wolf if there wasn't something unique about it. Even a slightly different color would be great!

yes, the third tier 1 wolf has an AoE debuff and a couple of other things that the other two wolves lack

I was also surprised it didn't have a different color
