I can't help but see them as monkeys for some reason, probably because of their faces.

TOPIC | Why are tundras often disliked?
Why are people acting like them having Muppet faces is a bad thing?
On the other hand, I feel like they should be... rounder. They're kind of skinny for something that's supposed to live in, well, a tundra.

i think they mainly suffer from being the most unique and detailed of the original plentiful breeds. their faces look strange, their heads almost don't look attached to their necks, and their fur looks stringy and flat. it's obvious right off the bat that this is old art.
breeds like mirrors & guardians have their issues too, but they have less opportunity to look "off," because they're a more standard dragon shape with less intricate detail.
crim and pinkerton, though? i love the way they look after their updates. their fur is SO fluffy, and their heads are much less "vague circle floating in the vicinity of the neck"

I like the male tundras :'), their mane like lions and their look also make me think in teddy bears.

also i think they should have tusks and shouldn't be so... thin and long? like, i dunno i just think they'd make more sense being more bulky and less noodle shaped like most other breeds, to give both body diversity and... they were made to live in the coldest climate. Why are they not bulkier? the tusks are... more self indulgent I'll admit but... they are described to have impressive canines for combat so.... tusks would be a cool thing to see imo

Take that and reverse it!
It’s much easier to keep a large body mass warm - they experience less loss of body heat due to smaller surface area / body mass ratio! You see this in nature all the time: Within a given group of animals, the ones in colder climates tend to be larger and stouter than their relatives in warm climates.
