Hyaenidae Avatars!, A new avatar as either free or Digo. Options

[Lyle Grimoire]

Just as a clarification, Hyaenidae refers to the species we know as Hyenas.

I would very much like to see a Hyena avatar based of of the Hyaena, or the Striped Hyena. This would possibly be the best avatar ever. Though I won't gripe too much if the populous would prefer the Crocuda (Spotted Hyena). I just prefer the Striped, personally.

What I would most like to see is a free avatar, a Noble, AND a Ferian of this magnificent species. But I'll settle with just the Noble, really. I like how those have been looking a lot.

Anyone who wants to hop onto my little bandwagon here? ^^

Hells yeah I do. We need something other than the generic canines, especially since they really aren't any relation at all. :< Poor neglected hyenas.

[Lyle Grimoire]

Exactly my point. Hyenas aren't Canine at all. xD They're a completely different genus.

[Kain Ragnorok]

Hyenas appear canine enough to be classified under Furc's "canine" avatar, even if they're not canine, I think. This goes for many other genii as well--such as Furc's sciurine avatar, which was made so it could encompass both squirrels and skunks. Furc just doesn't have the resources to make every single genus, so I don't think a separate hyaenidae avatar will be added. Once the attachment update comes out, you might be able to assemble an avatar that appears more like a hyena.

I do not feel the Canine avatar looks anything like a Hyena. That's why I'm suggesting it...

Hyenas have a shorter muzzle, shorter tail, stouter build, and a more distinguished neck and mane. The Canine avatar does not.

So patch over the default canine avatar.

You can also get a hyena portrait if you use the Unspecified gender with the canine avatar. (Or at least it looks like a hyena to me, anyway)

[Runetta Reborn]

All default avatars are made to be a generalization of all creatures it represents or looks like. Unfortunately, there will probably never be anything as specific as a hyena avatar or a leopard avatar or ferret avatar. However, with the coming of avatar options and attachments you might be able to do something that'll make canines more... hyena-y.

Until then, you're stuck with a canine as a hyena (granted you don't use something else).

I would love to see a hyena ferian, personally. I have tried to find hyena avatars in the past, and they are hard to come by. I believe I managed to find two. I have been to multiple dreams that allow hyenas to be role played, but do not have an avatar to accurately represent them. If it was a ferian, something could be done like with the tygard to have both spots and stripes -- that way, it could be used as multiple species of hyena, rather than just being restricted to one or two.

Hyena free avatars and nobles would also be interesting as well, though I do see the logic in the argument on how generic the anthro avatars are supposed to be -- a hyena anthro would probably be a lot like the canine one but with a stockier build, a shorter muzzle, and a different tail. And, of course, the hairstyle would probably be different, too. xD

Either way, I would love to see some sort of hyena avatar, though I would certainly prefer ferian; after all, I am mostly a feral role player. xD
