Appearance Changes

His Majesty was hairless when he was first implemented in Early Access and through launch. However, Larian gave him the fur of a long-haired cat in Patch #3 on September 22, 2023 with the following patch note:

Updated the visuals of His Majesty, who previously looked like Steelclaw. His Majesty's appearance now befits his name and nature.

This resulted in a massive outcry from players who felt the Sphynx cat breed perfectly fit the character of His Majesty.

Larian restored his appearance soon after in Hotfix #8 on October 3, 2023, deciding to change Steelclaw's appearance instead of His Majesty's:

Shaved His Majesty, who is once again a Sphynx. Steelclaw's eye colour has been adjusted so they are no longer identical twins.
