FilenamePictureActionNotes
po_a_chicken_hsame as po_chickenLeave outSame file as po_chicken_h
po_a_cow_h

Leave outOld cow portrait presumably, the proper one is "po_cow_h". No reason to include it, after all, it is small.
po_a_deer_hSame as po_deer_hLeave outSame file as po_deer_h
po_a_ox_hSame as po_ox_hLeave out
po_azer_h.png

Similar to po_azerman_h

Leave outThis seems to be a less edited version and not in portraits.2da
po_bear_kodi_h

Maybe add

Kodiak Bear

Wasn't ever used oddly.

This might be useful to actually make the Grizzly Bear (which is internally nw_bearkodiak, or Bear_Kodiak / c_bearkodi) so not sure why it wasn't used for this. Looks as good as the other bear portraits.

po_cat_kren_hSame as po_krenshar_hLeave out
po_cat_lion_h

Similar to po_lion_h

Leave outThis one is a little clearer in places, a little less in others, compared to po_lion_h but basically leave out since it's just too damn similar.
po_cragcat_hSame as po_cat_hLeave out
po_direliz_hSame as po_fenhound_hLeave out"Dire Liz" or Dire Lizard? Dunno. Fen hound is in the game though. Possibly planned summon/companion/familiar.
po_dmsucubus_b_hSame as po_dmsucubus_hLeave outDuplicate, possibly for what was a potential "B" model variant.
po_dog_02_h

Leave outPresumably just an unused dog. The main portrait is po_dog_h which could be considered more accurate.
po_fire_01_h

Leave outPresumably the original Fire Elemental portrait.
po_flesh_h

Maybe add

This one is a very different "Flesh Golem" portrait; no yellow here! It actually looks - apart from the metal on the head - slightly more accurate to the original model. The Flesh Golem has some unused textures as well (c_fleshgolem1.tga - same as c_golfresh.tga, and c_fleshgolem2.tga which is unique) which might hint at the model being reworked or simplified?
Current portrait:

po_frostgiant_hSame as po_gntfrost_hLeave outSame as po_gntfrost_h
po_giantliz_hsame as po_dog_h Leave outPerhaps a placeholder for "Giant Lizard" alongside the Dire Lizard reference above.
po_headal_h

Similar to po_headraline_h

Leave outA early unfinished version of her portrait - see the ears - left in since the game release.
po_lizard_hSame as po_direwolf_hLeave outPlaceaholder as per the other "Liz" ones, presumably Lizard of some kind.
po_mummy_hSame as po_mum_pre01_hLeave out
po_nobod01_hSame as human unknownLeave outSeems to be unused when testing
po_nobod02_hSame as human unknownLeave outSeems to be unused when testing
po_oldmage_h

Similar to po_oldwiza_h

Maybe addQuite a colourful recolour of the 2 variants that ended up in the game. Overhaul of the OC could reuse this.
po_oldwar_hSame as po_oldwara_hLeave outSame (except a bit of stretching) as po_oldwar_h
po_orchiefa_hSame as po_orcchiefa_hLeave outSpelling mistake (missing "c" in "chief")
po_penguin_hSame as po_a_penguin_hLeave outSame as po_a_penguin_h
po_shockliz_hSame as po_hellhound_hLeave out"Shock Lizard"?
po_slaasred_hSame as po_slaadred_hLeave out
po_stonegolem_h

Leave outVery different from the final design of the stone golem (po_golstone_h), presumably an early one where they had a proper face and hands.stone golem (po_golstone_h), presumably an early one where they had a proper face and hands.
po_syren_hSame as po_nymph_hLeave outNotably the "Syren" (or Sirine, see 2E artwork: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Sirine ) creature type would look more like this compared to the in-game Nymph which has pink skin
po_zombie_h

Leave outMight be a interesting one if the zombies actually looked like this, but must have been an early design or cut - note interestingly the elf ears.

The portraits.2da file sometimes has a valid line with no files found:. They should be dummied out properly.
