So many people, myself included, design their DKs to have big fluffy fur-ruffed cloaks and armor. It looks great, but why? How many of them even need that warmth? Mine doesn’t. But I do it anyway because fuzz is fun to draw.

I think I just answered my own question.

When you’ve collected as many bear asses, and killed as many wolves and boars questing as our death knights have, you have to do something with all of that fur.
