0005455: Muskox have grey hair but it should be black
Muskox have grey hair but according to their description it should be black.

"A large hooved animal with curved horns and a thick black coat. It is known for its strong odor."

Yet:

[SELECT_CASTE:ALL]
    [SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:HAIR]
        [TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:GRAY:1]
            [TLCM_NOUN:hair:SINGULAR]

Wasn't sure if this belonged under "creature" or "typos/grammar".

it would be hard to see if it were black, so i'm assuming he set it to grey for our sake.

The color of its HAIR has nothing to do with its creature tile color (yet), so that excuse doesn't really count.

If creature colour and tile colour get tied then black would be a poor choice. Perhaps it should say brown in the description and use a brown tile; It would reflect their real colour better from the images I've seen of them.
