I'm also hoping there's some sort of lupin inspired face in the works if possible, even if it's unlikely.

Unlikely, these are Big Cats. Not Wolves
I personally belive that YoshiP either mispoke or there might be a translation error. Either way it wouldn't make any sense to give the Hrothgar Canine Features if they are a Anthropomorphic Humanoid Feline Race

Be interesting and cool if they gave more Big Cat Variations like....I hate to say...Like Eso
A Tiger head, and maybe more of a Leopard Shape. With newly added facial features.

Edit: Oh, and its a Pipe Dream, but a Bald/No Hair Option & Bare Feet. Or I dare them to make digitigrade Feet.
