There’s like a thousand games where there’s a playable cat, fox, dog, and/or bird, or an anthropomorphic version of such - either as the main character, or a playable one in a funny animal roster. But for skunks I don’t see any major new titles coming out as such.

I know of Punky Skunk from 1990s, and Pine Seekers from 2010s which has skunks as the main playable characters, but not much else. Tooth and Tail also had a skunk class of unit, while Impossible Creatures had a skunk as a choice and thus let you fuse one with another animal as animal fusions is the main selling point of the game.

Armello had a large roster, but it cut off before it added a skunk as a playable character and they’re so far relegated to a background character species - and it seems there’s only like one card that features one and that’s it. And they seem to be relegated to background characters at most in such games. Why is that?

    I’m guessing any skunk-centric game did poorly because not many people want to be one of the worst-smelling animals on the planet. Probably easier to just put a tuxedo cat in your game.
