From what I remember from the reveal demo, depending on what Head model you pick you also get a particular fur pattern on the Hrothgar's right shoulder. (ruddy tones for the Lionen head, stripes for the tiger head, spots for the leopard head, and ruffage for the lupine head.)

So it's not unlike au ra and their horns then. Maybe they'll give different patterns to the different subraces. Hopefully.

Don’t count on it - the whole point of the split races was so they only had to make two gender-of-race models instead of four. Making physically different clan models would defeat the purpose of the split.

Anyway, the clans are shown on the website, and they’re palette swaps.

Technically but not exactly, the Horns on Au Ra are entirely cosmetic, If there was an option to not have them then most probably would pick that since they get in all of the ways. but the patterns on the Hrothgar are directly linked to the Heads from what I can understand from the Reveal, it's possible the heads are restricted by clan, like the Lion and Tiger heads are Helions and the leopard and Lupine heads are Lost, or all four are available to both clans.

Noone knows till they;re releases properly or the keynote i may says anything.

Good signs that they won't bother making the other genders that no one will play

No one likes you Mirabelle, go home!

Love the lion/snow leopard divide in the clans and the lore about their queen makes me excited to hear from ronso NPCs. I want to be one but the fact that they won't wear a lot of headgear at launch is a big enough reason to wait till 5.2 or 5.3 when they're finally finished.

This is not true. Au Ra horns are how they hear, they are essentially "ears" for the Au Ra. If you had a hornless Au Ra, they would most likely be a form of deaf. It isn't just purely cosmetic for them.

They're not real people though. Like, literally none of that nonsense has to apply because it's not the real world, Lyse could be green-skinned with pink hair and it still wouldn't matter. Seriously.
