These Hrothgar or whatever could be cool, but I hope that whatever comes, it comes as both female and male (for reasons that have been gone over many times in this thread, doing multiple new races in halves would only serve to upset twice as many people as a single whole race). However, I was discussing the 'bara cat' / Ronso rumor with my FC and to me at least, I felt we already had a race of brawny Nordic-inspired people with vaguely leonine features, so I was a bit puzzled over Hrothgar's potential aesthetic niche. Unless they go really all-in on the beast-race idea like with Lupin or Ronso, as opposed to the Miqote/Viera being very humanoid.
