Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[SturmChurro]

If you google deadliest wild cat you get this.



Just because something doesn't have a fierce look or look like a total [...] doesn't mean they're any less dangerous.
But yes, I understand and I do agree to some degree that the visual aspect is important.
The appearance is the first thing people will notice and from that get an impression of what that character is capable of.
But just like how one shouldn't judge a book by its cover one shouldn't disregard the possibilities that even if it doesn't look so it can just as well be so.

This supposed "world's deadliest cat" is an animal that hunts small prey:

Due to its small size, the black-footed cat hunts mainly small prey such as rodents and small birds, but also preys on Cape hare (Lepus capensis), being heavier than itself.

With context taken into account, male viera would be up against a much different kind of enemy (prey) than this cat example. We are talking Garlean invasion forces, large monsters, etc. etc. Plus up against the environment itself.

They went with, what they felt, was the most popular interpretation of male Viera and it worked. They got their inspiration from fanworks, mostly JP artworks I might add. And thank everything for that, because we don't need another case of Aura.

They just simply aren't how I imagined them. I hoped they would get options that I'd personally like more, but that wasn't the case.
