Kind of a cross between a werewolf and the oldstyle Planet of the Apes mask, with the snout I mean.
But will it look anything like that if Lucas decides to show one? It's not like he cares about the EU ideas: we'll see that design realised only if someone in the art department sneaks it in (like the Outrider's brief appearance in EpI).

That is official, that is LucasArts. Lucas doesn't trample LucasArts facts.
It's one thing for Shady Horsie Comics coming up with totally crazy comic book events to sell issues, it only requires LucasFilm to not bring any of it up, but LucasArts putting body and looks to a previously mentioned but unseen race, is something else.
But Bothans won't be used in Episode III, there is no reason for it.

No reason? If they show Mon Motha has a Bothan aide or best friend (or are just screwed by the Empire) it would go a long way to establishing a reason for the Bothan's sacrifice just prior to RTOJ.

Well sure, but that's a bit too literate and simplistic a reference to ROTJ. Just because Mon Mothma referred to them in ROTJ doesn't mean they totally hang out together, it's not like they deliver goods to her personally, they work for the Rebels.
When George W Bush wants some intel on a Scientology DayCare Center with sparks coming out of the children's bedrooms at sleepytime (high voltage auditing), he doesn't call up FBI agent John Q Fed's cellphone and ask him to roll on over there and check it out, then drive to the White House and tell him what he found, while standing under the Oval Office window.
Now, Bothan representatives in the senate, that might work.

This is George Lucas we're talking about: the same guy that has young Anakin say his whole inane "are you an angel?" speach and literally leap up in the air and shout "yippie!" in the same movie. Simplestic refrence and dialogue is his hallmark.
