Skyrim artist secretly worked to save the RPG's ugly werewolves from getting cut before taking a demo to Todd Howard and getting a big reaction: "This is f***ing awesome"

Skyrim.

Is it ok for them to be clean-shaven, or should every inch of their bodies be matted in dog fur?

In a new interview with YouTube channel Kiwi Talkz, Mejillones laments that the process of designing werewolves for Skyrim was originally "going in a really south direction."
