Thank you!  Seems to be quite involved! Easiest is to probably use premade  3D animal bipeds, use characterization in CC and use that way. Does this sound correct? 

Not in CC. Great deal of effort requires to pull this through elsewhere.
Example here shows a swap for a standard mesh:  https://youtu.be/r065HoPHObs
Attaching animals heads to the body would be even more complicated (but the idea is the same as above).

Hello - newbie to CC4 here. Is there a way to separate a head from the body and then attach a completely different head to make a humanoid character? E.g. I want to take a base CC4 character, but give it a turtle head or tiger head etc. I know the alternative is to use characterization - but that requires a ready biped humanoid character to be imported (I think, as per the tutorial). Finally, is there a start to finish tutorial or webinar on creating a custom non-human character ? Creatures ? The video tutorials on the reallusion website are good, but piecemeal. I’m having a hard time envisioning a start to finish workflow. Thanks in advance for any help! It’s a terrific piece of software along with iClone8 but just a little overwhelming!!!
