== Overview ==
The '''Animal Pack''' has more than 60 new costume parts and patterns and also includes new [[emotes]], new [[auras]], four costume change emotes, and the Beast Run travel power.

As of [[City of Heroes Freedom]]/[[Issue 21]], this item pack is no longer available. The costume pieces, emotes, costume change emotes, auras, and movement power are now only available through the [[Paragon Market]].

===Description===
With the [[City of Heroes]] Animal Pack, you can craft a character with the grace of a giant cat, the power of a savage wolf or the fury of a falcon and a look to match! Prowl the streets of [[Paragon City]] as a ferocious cheetah, stalk your way through the [[Rogue Isles]] as a bestial wolf, soar the skies of [[Praetoria]] as an eagle or lumber your way around as a monstrous minotaur. With new customizable heads, details, patterns, legs, and tails, you can go wild with possibilities!  Select from new Feline, Avian, Minotaur and Wolf costume pieces, pounce with controlled grace using the new Beast Run inherent travel power, and use new character emotes and costume change emotes to unleash your inner animal instinct.

== Costume Pieces ==
The Animal Pack unlocks new heads, body patterns, tails and boots for monstrous legs. Some of the [[costumes]] even come with customizable manes and teeth. With these new sets, you can create a ferocious wild beast character or a noble guardian of nature.

=== Lower Body ===
Additionally, the Animal Fur pattern is available on some non-monstrous boot options, but not on the bare/flat style, so females with Animal Fur boots still have high heels.

==Beast Run Travel Power==
=== [[File:Inherent BeastRun.png]] '''Beast Run''' ===

Show off your bestial nature by using this power. This power is not as fast as Super Speed, nor will it allow you to jump as well as Super Leap, however it is considerably better than the [[Fitness]] powers Swift and Hurdle.

'''NOTES:'''
* This power cannot be used with (and will detoggle) Pool [[Travel Powers]] such as [[Speed#Super Speed|Super Speed]], [[Leaping#Super Jump|Super Jump]], or [[Leaping#Combat_Jumping|Combat Jumping]].  However, it can be combined with [[Inherent Powers#Sprint|Sprint]] (and Sprint variants like [[Inherent Powers#Prestige Power Slide|Prestige Power Slide]]), the [[Inherent_Powers#Jump_Pack|Jump Pack]], passive [[Travel_Powers#Movement|Movement Powers]] such as [[Fitness#Swift|Swift]] and [[Fitness#Hurdle|Hurdle]], and any variation on Flight powers such as [[Flight#Fly|Fly]], [[Flight#Hover|Hover]], or the [[Raptor Pack]].
* While toggled on, Beast Run replaces your normal at-ease posture with a heavy breathing crouch, but does not interfere with emotes.
* To distinguish it visually from other running powers, the forward and backward running animations are on 'all fours' running style, typical of a four-legged animal gait. Additionally, when running backward, the character actually turns to face the camera.
