What’s the most important thing in video games right now? Aiming? Skill? – Not quite.
We think skins are quite important, although they don’t make an actual difference in games like Valorant, but they look cool.
When it comes to Valorant skills, there are many different styles to aim for. From interactive skins to collaborations and everything in between.
But how about animal skins? Well, there aren’t many skins in the game that resemble animals, but some managed to sneak through the development phase and are quite popular among gamers.
So, if you are an animal lover, or you want to add a bit of personality, these are probably the best animal skins in Valorant.
Evori Collection
This is probably the only skin collection that features actual animals, or should I say, mystical creatures. It is a collection inspired by mythical forest spirits, where cute animals float around your gun. They look like cats with wings and teddy bears and they are really cute.
The design of the weapons is very sleek. Most of them have intricate golden patterns, giving you that celestial guardian vibe.
The color of the creature, whether it is a bunny, teddy bear, or a cat, is transformed into the liquid of the gun that kind of looks like the mythical creatures are the power behind the gun.
So, if you want skin that looks sleek or you want to look like a guardian with your own personal friend, then the Evori Collection is perfect for you. Just make sure to change your crosshair to match your skin, but focus on effectiveness more than its design.
Elderflame – The Fire-Breathing Dragon
If there’s one skin that screams beast mode, it’s Elderflame. This skiing gives us those Quake III vibes. It is scary and at the end of the gun, there is usually a dragon head with flames coming from the mouth.
The animations with this collection are next level, making it every reload, inspect, or even kill an epic cinematic that gives you extra dopamine.
Now, don’t expect the same exquisiteness from the Elderflame collection as Evori. These are just dark-colored dragon weapons where the flame can be seen glowing inside the gun.
Polyfox Skins
As the name suggests, we are talking about skins with a fox design. Now, these skins might look simpler than the other two we mentioned, and they don’t come with many animations, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t look good.
Usually, the guns have orange and silver color with sharp edge elements that come from a fox. Every gun has a fox on it, and it looks really good.
Team Liquid Collection
Esports fans, this one’s for you. If you want a skin that is actually a collab between Valorant and Team Liquid (the eSports team) this is the perfect skin to choose.
Plus, if you are an animal lover or someone who appreciates horses, all of the skins have Leam Liquid’s signature horse logo. There aren’t any other horse skins in Valorant, and if you are into horse racing or love horse betting, then this is the perfect opportunity for you to combine your passions.
Yes, it might not be a traditional animal skin, but it is still cool to have an animal on your weapon that represents strength, endurance, and a winning spirit. Plus, competitors might think that you are someone from Team Liquid which will scare them off.
Gaia’s Vengeance
Alright, it’s not exactly an animal, but the Gaia’s Vengeance collection channels the raw power of nature with its living, tree-like design. The glowing veins and earthy textures give off a mystical beast vibe, making you feel like your weapon is more alive than you’d like to admit. Plus, the kill sound is oddly satisfying, like nature itself approving of your plays.
Wasteland Collection
If you’re into the whole “Mad Max meets post-apocalyptic wasteland” theme, this one’s for you. The Wasteland collection has a raw, scrappy, vulture-like feel to it. It looks like something scavenged from the remains of a battle—perfect for players who thrive in chaos and love unpredictable, aggressive gameplay.
Spline Collection
While it’s more alien than animal, the Spline collection gives off major insect vibes. The organic, almost spider-like design, glowing veins, and eerie color schemes make it look like something from another world. If you’ve ever wanted a gun that looks like it could crawl away on its own, this is the skin for you.
Smite Collection
Okay, so it’s technically based on divine lightning, but let’s not forget that Zeus is often depicted with an eagle by his side.
The Smite collection’s electric blue design and crackling energy make it feel like a weapon blessed by the gods. If you want to channel some divine fury in your matches, this one is a solid pick.
Reaver Collection
The Reaver collection doesn’t just look menacing—it sounds terrifying too. With its haunting gunfire audio and shadowy, ethereal aesthetics, it gives off serious werewolf vibes.
If you love the idea of lurking in the shadows and striking fear into your opponents, this is the ultimate predatory skin.
