Hrothgar Hair

That's what I am thinking too. Au Ra horns are attached to their faces and can't be customized, yet there are some npcs that have different horn-face combinations not available to players.

Difference is that they've never said au ra faces would ever get new horn combos (which would be a cc update/ change/ rework for that race) where as we known hrothgar are getting more manes, and as of right now the only way to change manes is through the cc.
At the very least this shows that they have worked on making some manes look good on other faces (unlike the first time we saw face 1's mane on face 3 for a promo render. both hairline and ears clipped badly)

Actually come to think of it, they probably could implement horn choice for Au Ra in the same way that they've done hair choices for Hrothgar - "new faces" that are actually the old faces with different horns attached.

When we get new Hrothgar manes, they are almost certainly still going to be changed through the CC, just with more choices available.

I mean, yeah, they could add new things to every race by making "new faces". They could give every female of every race a face with options to look kinda like Gaia so that I could live my dream of have a Gaia lips Femroe.

But that would be under "adding CC options to races/ expanding on the CC" which isn't something they ever said they wouldn't do(I do believe YP said that they would do that before making a new race that looks a lot like a current one or something) ... but they haven't confirmed to be doing it for any race other than Hrothgar.

So yeah, seeing Hrothgar with differently matched manes is very much something to be hopeful/ excited about and is very much different from seeing a Human with elezen ears or Au ra with mixed up horns as it's something they said they are working on doing.
If anything people should be asking if this hints at them making just the current manes work on more faces OR if this is it's own thing and all the new manes will just be new concepts ... or if it's a bit of both where they make some manes that could work with other face styles open to them but also make new mane styles for all faces.

But yeah, I don't think Manes are ever not gonna be a CC thing. Would be nice to be surprised by them reworking that or at least sending Hrothgar a potion when ever they release it. But ehh.
