As I also said in the female Hrothgar thread, male Hrothgar probably were pretty much meant to be Viera's gender counterpart considering these are 'two unique races' being brought in at the same time.
Iirc they do have Visual concept art for male viera that they released during HW. The issue seemed to be Yoshi P…he made a pretty unsightly comment of “well, bunny boys would be weird so we might have to come up with an alternative for the males.” Why would bunny boys be weird yoshi p? O.o then again they were also against giving a bunny outfit to males for awhile as well….interesting interesting insights.
