Animal Pack
Overview
Unleash the savage beast you've always wanted with OVER 60 new costume parts and patterns! Prowl the streets of Paragon City as a ferocious cheetah, stalk your way through the Rogue Isles as a bestial wolf, soar the skies of Praetoria as an eagle or lumber your way around as a monstrous minotaur. With new customizable heads, details, patterns, legs, and tails, you can go wild with possibilities!
The Animal Booster also includes new emotes, new auras, four costume change emotes, and the Beast Run travel power, which will let your animal alter ego leap and bound through City of Heroes on all fours!
Animal Theme Costume Parts
The Animal Pack unlocks new heads, body patterns, tails and boots for monstrous legs. Some of the costumes even come with customizable manes and teeth. With these new sets, you can create a ferocious wild beast character or a noble guardian of nature.
Head
- Big Cat - Medium: Cheetah and Panther patterns, four ear options (rounded cheetah, pointy cheetah, rounded panther, pointy panther).
- Big Cat - Large: Lion, Tiger and "monochrome" (no fur pattern) patterns, four ear options (rounded lion, pointy lion, rounded tiger, pointy tiger), four mane options (lion, tiger face fur, monochrome tiger face fur, no mane), two teeth options (regular and sabertooth).
- Minotaur: four horn options (none, small, medium and large), five nose ring options (none, small thin, small thick, large thin, large thick). The medium horns are the type seen on Cimeroran Minotaurs.
- Avian: three beak options (Eagle, Hawk, Vulture)
- Wolf: two pattern options (Grey or Arctic)
Body Patterns
- Cheetah (in addition to the existing cheetah pattern)
- Leopard
- Tiger
- Animal Fur (essentially the same as Monstrous Fur, but with the underlying skin being the same color as the fur)
Boots (for Monstrous Legs)
- Cat Claws
- Talons
Additionally, the Animal Fur pattern is available on some non-monstrous boot options, but not on the bare/flat style, so females with Animal Fur boots still have high heels.
Tails
- Ragged Wolf
- Minotaur
Beast Run Travel Power
Beast Run
Show off your bestial nature by using this power. This power is not as fast as Super Speed, nor will it allow you to jump as well as Super Leap, however it is considerably better than the Fitness powers Swift and Hurdle.

| Toggle: Self +Run Speed, +Jump | |
| Restrictions | Available at Level 4 |
| Can not be used in conjunction with Travel Powers | |
| Recharge | Instant |
| Effects | 445 + ( 5 * Level ) % jump height on self |

Note that these are the same stats as Ninja Run from the Martial Arts Pack. They are effectively the same power but with differing animations. The character will run on all fours, and while at rest will be hunched over and panting.
New Auras
Two new auras are included with the Animal Pack. Both of these new tintable auras can be enabled as always active or combat-only auras, and can be set to cover your entire body, or just the hands, fists or hairs.
