could armored bearger be more undead-looking?

[fabin]

i absolutely am adoring this beta right now, so much scrumptious stuff everywhere. i love the mutated boss fights and especially love the designs of the 3 too, although i feel like bearger is one of the weaker designs. i know he has those wolverine sideburns and the held up rib-cage, but aside from that if you look at him from the back, he looks like a bearger that dipped his hand in melted wax or something

i feel like changing his fur color and giving him extra details would go a long way

here, i did a really quick mock-up of a fur color change:

I think his eyes or mouth should emit the "enlightening" kind of light like mutated varg does.

Id like to see possesed mobs to be more blue－ish or green－ish in color.

They are literally rotting corpses, no? At least you can see that deerclops is indeed dead visually. Bearger is literally just wearing armor at this point

I think that adding horns or a crest should be great.

Also, I'm gonna leave here some concept arts from the KLEI streaming:

What would work thematically is if his skin got crystalized, hence the 'armored' prefix, and caused his fur to fall off. You could explore this idea to create all sorts of part crystal, part skin, part fur type of dieseased look

They said those looked too complicated for the design
