Hey, hello.
Right now the meat effigy takes the form of Wilson. My suggestion is to give them a more generic look when they are not linked to a player, and when they are linked to player give them the look of the character they are playing with.
Gameplay wise it would make easier to know if a meat effigy is tuned to a player or not in endless or survival (in wilderness too, but since that is PvP I imagine most people don't make effigies there). Not that this is a common problem at all, since each player will more than likely craft their own effigies, and more than likely no more than 1 per person. This suggestion is mainly cosmetic, but I believe it would be a nice addition little addition.
Of course, an issue with this suggestion (aside from making more art assets and coding) would be the quote of 3 characters: WX-78 ("WHO IS THAT?"), Webber ("Who is that supposed to be?"), and the recently added Winona ("Looks just like that egghead! Ha").
So, what do you think?
