Since when does a cougar have black legs?

Come on ZOS. Since when do cougars have black legs? What is going on with your art department?

Any chance this coloration mishap could be changed to look more like a cougar?

    Since they used the exact same model as the lioness and needed a way to make them look different?

    No, they don't. Cougars have a black and white tipped tail, sometimes, but they NEVER have black socks on. NEVER.

    How come the actual mount doesn't look like the picture they advertised to get us all excited?

    I think ZOS is being very fashion forward.

    Cougars in black leggings are in style.

    I come from a part of the world where we actually have wild cougars, and trust me, they don't look like that.

    Where I'm from, I see quite a few cougars wearing black socks. It's not that rare...









    :trollface:

    But seriously, it looks silly to me.

    I’m shocked this mount even got the green light. It’s like a cougar just finished running through puddles of paint.

    Other than the pose I don't see any difference between the one in the picture and the one in-game.

    Unless you're thinking of a different picture, I've only seen the one in the crown store showcase.

    It is just a re-skinned lion, doesn't really look like a cougar, but I think those little black paws are adorable.

    If it weren't just a re-skin, I would have considered buying it.

    Yeah, they are pretty much phoning it in with these mounts. I think the last original mount was the dwarven spider?

    The mail lion is the same with a blond mane.

    Since its a fantasy world.. Not Earth..

    And maybe it ran through the mud to be on time for its photo..

    Wish they'd go all out and put orange stripes or something blue stripes.. These boring mounts are too generic.

    It's a subspecies from Elsweyr, so we'll probably see these in the wild when more of that region is unlocked.

    Unlike, say, the badger bear, whose flavor text says that they're almost extinct in their native Blackwood habitat.

    Honestly, everywhere I've ever been where elves cast spells, most of the cougars I see have black legs. ;)

    Who is 'you guys'? By my count, at 28 posts, over 10 of them (including my own above) are emphasizing that it is a fantasy world where earth rules need not apply. So you are not alone in realizing that Tamriel is not Earth. :)
