[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6050965, member: 57383"] Well neogi are also partially eel-like, and that description makes no mention of its arms. Also, I doubt fur can be "withered" - it's not a fleshy organ like a leaf or limb. Furthermore, the original description of the Undead Old Master says they are "hairy, brightly-colored" although they fade with age. Clearly, they maintain the Neogi habit of dying their fur in caste/status patterns. Hmm, since the fur colour is dye I infer that some Old Masters are proud/vain/old-fashioned enough to keep their fur dyed while others just let the colour fade. That suggests we should leave the brightness/fadedness of the fur to the background text and just mention its coloured in patterns in the description. How about.
