Frostbane Wolf tail looks broken at 90 degree angle. :(

Frostbane Wolf tail looks broken at 90 degree angle. I normally always like the wolf mounts but this poor guy's tail looks bad. If you look at it from the side near it's hind quarters you'll see what I mean. A dog/wolf tail isn't like a horse. It has bone throughout and isn't just hanging hair.

That's the exact reason I won't spend my accumulated Gems on the wolf.
Even if I like buying everything wolf-y.

So not only do we have a broken tail, but who decided the wolf's tail needed to have a texture that's more like a mop than fur?

And for anyone interested in the skeleton, here's a dire wolf from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History: https://carnegiemnh.org/dire-wolves-off-the-screen/

Thank you all for your support and screenshots!

I agree. I think the entire wolf looks amazing except for the tail, which looks like it's broken. When the wolf runs, the tail looks really, really unnatural.

The Frostbane sabre cat has such a beautiful tail. Why couldn't the wolf have a beautiful tail, too?

Sickle-hocked horses everywhere, boar pelt with claws, and now this. Devs, you seriously need to arrange a brief anatomy course for your designers.

This is the sort of wolf I'd expect to be encouraged to adopt from a commercial with Sarah McLachlan music playing in the background.

That guar tho...

Normally horses and wolves are my thing. But the tails ruin the Frostbane horse and wolf mounts. And my Nords were really looking forward to them too! Can’t believe my Sweetroll still sits unused in my house...

Edit: The upside to this is that for the first time the Radiant mounts are not desireable in the least to me! Polling shows that wolf, horse, and senche are the three most popular mounts, which is why we are tormented with these ‘chase’ items. It’s a bit of a relief when mounts that I should really really want are botched so badly that I don’t want them after all, like the sparkle pony and the flame atronachs.

I expect fluffy balls of a tail on a poodle, not a wolf.
