## What to do

Propose a small, concrete set of head/body/colour options for character creation, using `object-gallery`'s existing creature scenes as the starting material. The design docs are explicit that this set should be small enough to hard-code — this task proposes what that set actually is, giving Kris something concrete to react to (rather than leaving "small subset" undefined forever).

## Definition of done

A short proposal: N head options, N body options, N colour options, each pointing at an existing or easily-adapted `object-gallery` scene/material. Doesn't need Kris's sign-off to exist as a proposal — task 002 can prototype against it, and it can be revised later.

## Where the work lands

## Docs to read first

`land-of-lor/pocs/object-gallery/` scenes; `land-of-lor/docs/RECIPES.md`'s note on the player's restricted subset (vs. the unrestricted 64×64 Simple Life space for player-made creatures).
