I noticed in one of the screenshots that there is a Kabuto Norn breed available... aside from being a Pokemon, it is in fact the name of the helmet used by samurai.
So what do we think these helmeted norns will look like? What kinds of characteristics could they have?

Maybe not literally helmets. Perhaps you have to see it more generic. What do the two meanings of Kabuto have in common? Armor. The Pokemon has a thick protecting shell hard as rock and the samurai helmet is basically armor for the head too.
So I guess we have it to do with Norns which have big defensive capabilities. Perhaps the CO Hardman equivalent?

I'd like to see that screenshot because your description is extremely vague... ^^;

This might not be the exact screenshot, but you can see one here!

Yep - that was the screenshot - just a chocolate brown bubble with yellow markings and the words 'Kabuto Norn'. While the Wildling Norn button (and Froggy Norn button and Lab Norn button) includes their eyes, the Kabuto Norn button doesn't seem to... which doesn't mean anything, because the Mystic Norn button (those 2 Ss) doesn't have eyes either.

That's interesting...
As far as i can tell, it's mostly just a fur pattern, but who knows! maybe the kabuto norns have some type of armor/rock like scales? I'm thinking something like what could be seen on the C1 purple mountain norns.
That'd be cool!

Aw Yeah! That's awesome!
If any of you watched this show you'll understand why.
