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_azer_h.png

Image Added

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 presumably

Could add back into the game mainly as an alternative Brown Bear portrait, perhaps for the animal companion version?

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_dogcat_02lion_h

Image Removed

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

Image Removed

Leave outPresumably the original Fire Elemental portrait.
po_flesh_h

Image Removed

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?

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.
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.
