    A hyur with the faces and model skeletons of other races would be cool, and if this is the first step in having one then why not? More options is always good.

    Having seen the Au'Ra without horns and tails (google) they honestly look ... really wonky. They're built around having the horns and tails, without them they just look unbalanced.

    I've not had any luck finding any such images. Considering the special form you enter as a Reaper (I forget the name of the actual skill), it temporarily removes your horns, and I honestly found I kind of preferred it? I got back and forth, though. I think with SOME glamours, the horns are absolutely awesome. Particularly when my character was rocking a darker-skinned Xaela look. But when I decided I'd like to switch to a lighter-skinned sort of character, I suddenly found it VERY difficult to get the right "look". Like I said, in addition to the darker scales, Xaela also have significantly darker eyes, and more blue-ish skin tones. I wound up settling on a Raen for a more "ginger" sort of look, but then it looked super goofy when wearing a lot of the darker armor and clothes I'd been accustomed to, especially the Abyssos armor (which I'm sure some people aren't into, but I'd consider those some of the cooler sets I've ever seen).

    I definitely think the Xaela are super cool, and I LOVE all their lore and the time spent learning about and interacting with all their tribes. But the horns in particular just make it kind of hard to work with some glamours, plus they render earrings essentially invisible. I also wish the Xaela could choose the lighter eye colors, and maybe a more sunny-looking, peach skin tone.
