Ossified Rime Wolf mount showcase and feedback

Greetings!
I am both pleased and disappointed by this purchase, so here I wish to share my thoughts. Hopefully it might lead to resolving my issue with it.

Firstly, here is video with showcase for movement, special effects and voice of Ossified Rime Wolf:

In-depth idle showcase, where you can better see belly and how two special effects' orbs are located:

How this wolf looks when jumping - you can see the second orb doing funny stuff:

It looks very amusing :smiley:No, do not remove this please, it's actually fine. Thanks to this second orb the trail effect of this mount is so intensive.

The single-orb effect is used for old Radiant Apex mount Frost Draugr Senche, and you can see that it's less intensive with just one orb:

But what made me sad after purchasing it is the wolf's voice - simple animal voice, it absolutely doesn't fit to such creepy icy creature :'(
The wolf doesn't perform any voice lines in preview, but my expectations were set very high. If not for some new voice, then at least for some of already existing wolf voices. These are examples of more fitting "creepy canine" voices already, such as:

In my opinion, the best and the scariest!

My second favorite, very fitting for creature without frozen vocal cords.

My least favorite of them, but at least it's not 100% ordinary wolf voice like Ossified Rime Wolf has.

If I'm not mistaken, Skeletal Wolf also has some creepy voice - but I don't have it and can't confirm now.

I love the body model of this wolf itself <3 The neck, the tail, ice spikes on legs. For me, this wolf looks so perfect and noble when observed from the side!
His special effect is awesome as well!
...If not for these two reasons, I would ask for refund after hearing the mount's boring voice :/ When a character rides an unusual creature, the creature should sound appropriately unusual too.
Please, can you replace the voice so it would better fit the image of this creature? I don't know if designers read this thread, so I would greatly appreciate if this feedback was shown to them.

Thank you!

    I agree, honestly. I love this mount but I was also really let down by the voice. I really want to hear something with crackling ice sounds.
