Miscellaneous: Form of the Great Bear is using the wrong model for Trolls

The Shaman illusion spell Form of the Great Bear is supposed to use a black-haired version of the brown bear model, NOT the kodiak model. The brown bear model has an open mouth and a longer lower jaw.

I have a classic era screenshot which shows a Troll shaman in bear form:

Here's what the current Troll illusion bear looks like, notice that the mouth is closed (this is the kodiak model): http://i.imgur.com/mQ13atr.jpg

How sad.

Looks like Ogre was the only one functioning properly.

Barbarian was also broken, should be:

Whoa what,.. Barb no long get's the tear drop tatoo'd polar bear?

What exactly changed with the troll bear form, the picture in OP looks like how it is?

The mouth and lips should be open, like in the screenshot.

Looking into this further, it appears the texture of the helm the player is currently wearing also affects this.

I added a case for Trolls, but with the current implementation, the Bear's head texture is tied to which texture the player's helm is. So, for example, with a plate helm, the Bear will appear as in the OP. With a leather helm, it has a closed mouth.

Anyone know for sure how this should work?
