Why do the Cathar not have tails?

lol.. I realize Cathar do not have tails now. It wont let me change the thread title for some reason. Please continue reading because there are other issues.

 

It seems that the actual canonical Cathar are a lot more catlike than we have in-game.

 

Quote from the Cathar wookieepedia page appearance section:

 

The baseline Cathar had fur-covered bodies with thick manes. They had prominent, retractable claws that could deliver powerful killing attacks on foes and prey. Their bodies also possessed rapid healing abilities. On average, Cathar were 1.5 to 1.9 meters tall. These traits made them the perfect hand-to-hand specialists.

The Cathar species also had two additional subspecies, known as the Juhani and the Myr Rho. Both of these were notably less catlike than mainline Cathar.[3] Cathar were born into a litter.[4]

 

Something I notice:

 

It seems our current in-game models of the Cathar were modeled after Juhani (click here for pic). The wookieepedia clearly states that Juhani is notably less catlike than mainline Cathar.

 

Our Cathar should look like:

 

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Example 4

 

Does anyone else think that the in-gane Cathar are a lot less catlike than they should be?

It could be like the Giant Tortoise, which was one of the last animals in the 19th century to gets it's official scientific name simply because it was so tasty that not a single specimen ever made the trip back to Europe alive.

 

Cathar Tail Stew must just be tooo good.

Anyone else want a tail on their Cathar?

 

Also, are Cathar even supposed to have tails? I've seen several fan art drawings of them which did.

 

The Cathar do have tails, those will available on the cartel market for a measly 250cc.

The wookieepedia entry is your official stance on the issue. Deviantart (while may have some talented artists in it) is not an official stance by any means. There is a lot of fan created material that goes way off its original concept entirely.

 

Only one example listed was a Cathar (tail would still be wrong). the other was just listed as a "sci-fi cat girl" and another was a Farghul, which is a separate species.

I posted some examples in the OP.

 

And humans should have antlers.

I have posted some examples here:

Moral of the story = dont use deviantart as proof for anything.

 

Cathar dont have tails. They never had tails. Not in this game, not in the comics and not in any other game.

 

EDIT: also, 2 of the 3 "examples" you posted werent cathar... one was a Farghul (a fantasy race) and another one was just "sci-fi cat girl"...

But yeah, people put tails on cathar because they are A: ignorant and just think cathar are "cat people" or B: are really into furries and want that tail there for their own sick fantasies.

Yeah, but that's fanart. There's probably fanart of Vader making out with Han Solo - that doesn't mean it ever happened canonically ;)

 

HAWT!

 

 

Oh C'mon it's the 21st century, who doesn't want to see some hot man on cyborg-armored-man action?

 

 

Anybody?

 

 

Y'all are killing me. I'm not even gay, just trying to keep it real for everybody. Y'know, in a game with SGR's and all.

 

 

But srsly, some of y'all think that would be hawt, you're just afraid to raise your hands.

 

 

I bet the ladies would like it.

I'm totally in favor of that. Sounds... uh, very erotic. I suppose. I did bring it up as a subtle hint on what we'd like to see after all. And I do think I speak for the entire player base here, I mean come on. ;p
