I think it's kind of...stupid that claws are an item considering what the playable animals are in this game. Making low poly claws a part of a model isn't hard, nor is it hard to make them retractable (they only need a 1 frame animation for retracted/nonretracted claws, LOL). That way people could just hide them if they don't like them.
I don't know. I'm probably overthinking things.
