Hey, so i've been really hyped up about the game that's set for release in just about one month so i've been analyzing what information we have about the game and I've come across 2 conficting but very solid arguements on what animal the Collector could be.

On ign's livestream at 3 min. 37 sec. (this is during the beginning cutscene in the Paris Prologue) we can see the Collector's mice henchmen loading some artifacts out of a truck and into his museum. I want to bring the attention to the truck. On the side there's an image of a face. I believe this is the Collector's truck and the face is a cartoonish rendition of his face. The hair, large eyes, moustache and round nose can be compared to the silhouette we've got of him. We can see from the deep frown that he's probably a very stern person. Also his fur colour is brown.

I am, of course, assuming he is a weasel or squirrel or other furry critter because of his tail, seen in other images. it is likely that he could still be a lizard, but more likely that he is not.

There is another piece of evidence that he is not a lizard or reptile: his henchmen. On first inspection they are mice in ironic exterminator outfits. But i think that has to be reviewed. They are wearing gas masks...why? because of fumes... can we relate this to the Collector? Maybe he's the one giving off fumes. Maybe he's a skunk. Yes, that does fit quite well too. He's french (Pepe le Pew could have inspired this character) and the collector's hair is white at least in the silhouette.

So there you have it. I'm not guaranteeing that the Collector will be a mammal (Sanzaru is so tricky, he could still be some gecko or whatever) but i think these are solid reasons that I'll be expecting a weasel or skunk when the game releases.

Did you notice anything else that you could add to my arguement? Do you strongly disagree with what I think? I'd love to hear your thoughts/opinions/theories.
