Hrothgar Hair

[Iscah]

those Au ra are the children or the Older player model which we know we are not getting
but these Hrothgar face options are already available to the player

There are some "normal" Au Ra that seem to have horns that don't correspond to their face type too (eg. Yugiri and Mide) though it's done with custom faces based on standard ones.

The difference there seems to be that those two are major npcs for their arcs, but these are just background hroths. This wouldn’t be the first time they used background npcs to showcase hairstyles to come. I remember noticing npcs with new hair before it was released, such as the braided bob you can get from eureka showed up on an EB npc before it was available to player characters. I do think these hroths are small teasers. There’s no reason for them to make these npcs unique- there aren’t enough of them in the area to justify resorting to designing unique combinations unavailable in cc.

Pretty much.

I get people being skeptical but there's way fewer Hrothgar here than in La-Hee land and they have outright told us Hrothgar are getting new manes and faces so why wouldn't this be a hint at that?
Hell, they recently teased the new dyes by putting NPCs in LL- ocean fishing area with some of them and some people noticed the difference.

Green one is a face 2 with face 1's beard and face 3's hair without the added side locks, perhaps the new Hrothgar faces will be mixing and matching features and manes.
