He appears to be an anthropomorphised panther, his PC is definitely a big cat's like Gabi not a bear, dog or gorilla...

He looks like a panther.

Hmm? I always thought Naobi was an ape, from the line in the Epitaph.

Over the keel mountains,
Meets an ape with human speech, The ape asks.
"What clings to you? Bear it - you cannot.
Accept it - you cannot. But hidden - it is from you.
Recite it's name. "

Apart from the fact that he looks like an anthropomorphised big cat, I can't give you any more proof.

He is most definitely not an ape, his feet and facial structure don't tally with that of any form of ape.

I think he may be a lion, only his fur is colored different. If you look closely you can see what maybe a mame.

His eye dilation suggests he's some form of feline.

Besides, what does the epitaph have to do with anything?

Some fans of the series try and relate EVERYTHING in .hack to the Epitaph, even though it really only applies to the two game series.

Yah, I suppose you're right, only wishful thinking on my part, hehe.

I'm pretty sure Naobi is a panther or some relative to the panther. His eye color and fur color give it away pretty well.

It would be quite difficult to play as a four-legged Danse Macabre.

All players are on two legs, whether they're human or anthropomorphised animals. Gorillas and bears do not have cat-like eyes or the same shape of head as Naobi, which clearly has a big-cat's face.

Any argument is pointless, one look at his eyes would tell you he's a cat.

You can take a proper look at his face here.

Note that his hands and feet have typical characteristics of anthropomorphic cats. Apes would have more human-like hands.

I don't see how you could get Naobi confused for a gorilla. As you can see, he has the eyes and nose of a cat like animal. Then you see what I think is a mame. (the brown hair on his face)

So it's agreed. He's a panther/cat figure.
