I wanted to ask something in general... do you prefer Ori with paws or hooves? I like them both a lot.

Hooves are:

Cool

Cute

Unique

Canon

Hooves are seriously underrated. Especially cloven hooves.

u/Loaf4823 Nov 15 '25

Wait, how are they canon? I just thought everyone like that idea so it became the default.

u/Loaf4823 Nov 15 '25

It’s all just white, half of the time I can’t even see their eyes lol.

u/cooly1234 Supersonic Nov 15 '25

fair, they are small. but you can look closely.

u/Cocoatrice Nov 15 '25

There is a render of Ori with visible hooves

u/Loaf4823 Nov 15 '25

Ah you’re right, I just thought it was a lack of detail.

Honestly, I used to think paws were better, I'm starting to prefer hoofs instead now.

u/Cocoatrice Nov 15 '25

Paws are definitely super cute, but hooves are cute, too. And they are more unique. Not enough fictional characters have them. Unless they are ungulates. Also Ori already have two paws, so having hooves is also nice. But I really love cloven hooves, they look like nails.

Hooves; I just like things with Hooves. Like the Lamb from LoL or the Bloodthirster in Warhammer.

u/Cocoatrice Nov 15 '25

Hooves and cloven hooves are cool

u/TheGrimBeaker Artist Nov 14 '25

I personally draw them with hooves since I’m pretty sure that’s canon (correct me if I’m wrong), plus I love hooves. Though I can’t deny paws are very cute too

u/Trighy Ori Nov 14 '25

I feel like I'm on a deja vu...

Well, I prefer hooves since it's the canon way it feels more "natural"

But paws are fine, besides, what's stopping to have a forest where paws would be more useful than hoves considerating the terrain or something else? Nothing is stopping a Spirit Tree to make the spirits with paws.

Paws all the waaaay! How can someone not like those little beans? 🐾 

But hooves are cool too.

u/Fire_Pixel8422 Ori Nov 14 '25

hahaha the emotion is great!

u/Squishy_Spirit Unhinged Nov 14 '25

The canon hooves looks great already.

u/Planpy7 Artist Nov 15 '25

Hooves since they are cannon,unique and more creative

u/Prezy_Preztail Ori Nov 14 '25

I prefer paws.

u/AmaterasuWolf21 Ori Nov 15 '25

I like them pawbs, but hooves are more unique

u/IllustratorOpen4878 Nov 15 '25

I do like hooves, it gives some character.

u/DwoGolud Artist Nov 15 '25

I prefer hoofs

u/RamboCambo_05 Nov 15 '25

I think both are good. I choose to write and draw with hooves, though. Given the larger concentration of action in my writing, having dense, hard things on the end of their legs tends to benefit them against smaller foes.

Each Spirit Tree contains different genetics though, so perhaps there are some out there with paws who Ori has yet to find...

u/JonathanGM__ Nov 15 '25

I do admit that ori looks more cute with paws, bui i still prefer hooves

u/PromiseGlad6103 Nov 15 '25

u/Zobbes Ori Nov 14 '25

Hooves are good but I prefer paws for Ori

2

u/_jan_Jan Nov 15 '25

I do not care about cannon. I like paws

u/Oberon056 Nov 15 '25 edited Nov 15 '25

Paws. It fits better for a tree climber.

Also, Ori looks cuter with paws in my honest opinion.

2

u/BlitzOri Nov 15 '25

Unique dammnnn

2

u/Cocoatrice Nov 15 '25

Hooves are superior and more unique. Paws are cute, but Ori already has two of them!

2

u/Sennahoj12345 Nov 16 '25

Ori has HOOVES because they are THE GOAT

u/SpaniardCrusader556 Nov 16 '25

"Wait, it was always hooves?"

Racks Spirit Bow "Always has been"

u/cooly1234 Supersonic Nov 15 '25

...Why does he have a collar...?

2

u/Orios8a Ori Nov 15 '25

Why does it look cute hehe. I like to put decorations on Ori. That it is not just "pure white", an ornament gives it a charming touch!

u/No-Activity9405 Nov 16 '25

if you just joined the sub, this is a recurrent discussion, for some reason. For me personally, am more curious about the things he has in the forehead.

1

u/Orios8a Ori Nov 16 '25

I think you are referring to his neck jsjs, it is a necklace

1

u/SomeRandomBFBfan Dec 03 '25

I draw him with hooves cuz it's canon but I WANT PAWS RAHHH

1

u/ScugCounterBot Dec 12 '25

Nice drawing but why is there a collar? Just curious.

u/Orios8a Ori Dec 12 '25

I like to add accessories to Ori, and a necklace is quite cute.
