I'd like to show my appreciation and say that the devs have done a very good job with Hrothgals. Here's what I like most about them:

1. They look like a female version of the male counterpart. They have cat faces that seem closer to each other in style than Miqo'te faces, for example, but they are still distinct enough that you can easily tell females from males. The different face options offer an equal amount of variety as they do for males.

2. The body type is a perfect blend of muscular and feminine, which I enjoy as a former Femroe player. If you compare a 20-height Femroe to 100-height Hrothgal, it's clear they seem to share the same rig but Hrothgals are a bit curvier in the waist and butt area in addition to being more muscular. Although I would have been satisfied with slightly smaller shoulders, they are in no way disproportionate to the rest of the body.

3. To continue with the comparison, the Hrothgal stance is more spread out and forward-leaning than a Femroe's but not a straight up hunch. Obviously they are different from the males in this regard, but I'm glad it was done this way. I've played a male Hroth and kind of wished they could stand up straight like they do during certain emotes.

4. They seem to work really well with the lighting in the benchmark. At no point did I feel their eyes were dead or that their skin color was off. I'm impressed with how nice the fur on the face looked. This will likely be the case in the live game as well.

5. They offer something unique to female character enjoyers, seeing as Hrothgals are the first bestial race and also the first tall race with a tail.
