WHAT'S NEXT:

All four species of hyena (Striped, Spotted, Brown and Aardwolves) are being worked on and will be gradually added through updates. Each will sport a unique model with proper anatomical differences - faces, ears, noses, manes, tails, etc - while sticking to a UV standard that allows for easy cross-compatibility between them.

The final goal is to have all four extant hyena species, four hairstyles (Fade, Short/Medium Mohawks and Over-eyes Undercut), themed clothing and texture variations for each. More information on progress/plans below:
