Custom skin components are an important aspect of letting players express themselves, but many components are strongly lacking. Many elements like wings and tails look best when they match the color of the character's skin, but the few wings and tails that exist do not let you customize their color. As a result, it would be difficult to make something like a green dragon, because the "Dragon Tail" item is only available in red.
Elements that change the head shape are also lacking. "Wolf Ears" is a cosmetic item that is only available in grey, but they would otherwise be useful for cats, deer, and wolves that aren't necessarily grey. Basic elements like muzzles and whiskers are also elements that are seemingly absent, but would help with player expression.
This might seem niche, but it feels like an egregious issue when you consider the FAQ for the Character Creator, which answers the question:
I want to be a cat/have a tail/wings. Are there any options for this in Character Creator?
with:
Awesome! We want everyone to be able to represent themselves as they see fit whether that is realistic or fantastical, so you should be in luck! Many of these are launch items or coming soon. Look at our launch items and let us know what you want us to add.
The options currently available are simply not sufficient. It seems like a massive oversight to make niche items like "Pie on the Mind" before adding simple and widely applicable items.
