Pelt/Rug Taxidermy Mounts

[errant oriole]

A pelt mount, also known as a rug mount, could give the player a new option with their trophy animals. Could be cheaper than a fullbody mount, but with the bonus of being able to be placed almost anywhere. Features a tanned hide.

These could also alternatively be referred to as "Rug Mounts" or "Hide Mounts", and they could be placed on a table, on a wall, or on the ground.

I’d pay for this

They could work on a variety of species, from smaller deer species like the Axis deer to bears and canids.

...and if you wanted to get EXTRA creative...

Feels like it's some kind of gore or something, I wouldn't feel comfortable walking around in my lodge and seeing some bears like that

but that’s just my opinion

[errant oriole]

Honestly, that's understandable! I completely get that it would not be to everyone's taste. The option could still be there to have a trophy be mounted as if the animal was still alive, but I made this suggestion as to give players more options for their trophies.

Heck I'd rather have a fullbody mount of an animal in a dynamic pose as if the animal was still alive, but I feel like with these pelt mounts/rug mounts the player can make more use of available space in a lodge.

I absolutely would rather have a taxidermy of a coyote hunting/sniffing the ground like this than a rug but i still like the idea of it being an option, especially to see like the different fur variants of animals

But if a player wants to mount their coyote like this, I feel like that should be an option. Possibly could be cheaper than a fullbody mount but with the added perk of being able to be placed almost anywhere. Be it on the ground, on a table, or on the wall. Fullbody mounts are limited in regards of where they can be placed.

Tanned hides can be currently seen in the game however are only in buildings owned by NPCs rather than the player (to my knowledge)

If anyone wants me to just delete the photos and repost them with a spoiler lmk, i don't wanna make any folks uncomfy

Even if the proper rug is too Gorey id atleast want to see something similar to the skunk in your picture

[reef palm]

I would rather have something like this than a skull mount .....

[hot valve]

I love this idea. I saw a pelt hung on a wall of one of the in-game cabins and wondered "Why can't I do this with my harvests?" 🤠

[grave axle]

We massacre so many animals every day that something must be done with them, I hope that at some point they introduce skin taxidermy and we have these trophies, and why not some clothes

These would be amazing in our lodges.

Making this a cheaper version of a full taxidermy mount is a great idea too

Pretty sure there is a bear pelt in the Layton lodge and revontuli outposts so shouldn’t be too hard to add.
