Animal Pack
This article contains information about content which required payment in the past, but is now available to all players in the current version of Homecoming: City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.
Overview
The Animal Pack had more than 60 new costume parts and patterns and also includes new emotes, new auras, four costume change emotes, and the Beast Run travel power.
They are now freely available to all players.
Description
With the City of Heroes Animal Pack, you can craft a character with the grace of a giant cat, the power of a savage wolf or the fury of a falcon and a look to match! 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! Select from new Feline, Avian, Minotaur and Wolf costume pieces, pounce with controlled grace using the new Beast Run inherent travel power, and use new character emotes and costume change emotes to unleash your inner animal instinct.

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.
NOTES:
- This power cannot be used with (and will detoggle) Pool Travel Powers such as Super Speed, Super Jump, or Combat Jumping. However, it can be combined with Sprint (and Sprint variants like Prestige Power Slide), the Jump Pack, passive Movement Powers such as Swift and Hurdle, and any variation on Flight powers such as Fly, Hover, or the Raptor Pack.
- While toggled on, Beast Run replaces your normal at-ease posture with a heavy breathing crouch, but does not interfere with emotes.
- To distinguish it visually from other running powers, the forward and backward running animations are on 'all fours' running style, typical of a four-legged animal gait. Additionally, when running backward, the character actually turns to face the camera.
