So im making this bipedal lizard creature.

Obviously still early days on the sculpting process but i thought i would ask before i go too far..
I want this creature to be able to walk on his hind legs in that kind of hunched over position, but also be able to walk on all 4 limbs, kind of like a werewolf. What would be the optimal way to pose this character before rigging? Could i simply straighten up the tail and get the arms in more of an A pose? or would I have to straighten out his whole body so his spine is fully erect like a human?
