I've been toying with the idea of making a new creature mod, but I wanted some input and suggestions before I began implementing it.

The idea is to add more creatures, but to make sure they aren't redundant and that they have a purpose. For example; Having small mountain drakes would be nifty, but they would be redundant with giant eagles, aside from the whole breathing fire bit.

The idea would be to add more variety and flavor to the biomes. There's plenty of mundane creatures already, so I want to add more mythological ones. I'm thinking medusae in evil swamps, more fanciful creatures for the good regions, that sort of thing. Giant spitting cobras in deserts? More megabeasts and semimegabeasts? If anyone has a really good idea for a modification to existing creatures, I'm open to those too.

The idea is still new, so I'm very open to suggestions. If you want, I'll credit your ideas in the mod when it is made. I also have some dabbling skill in pixel art,so I'd make some tilesets for the new stuff too.

Well you could always look at the lists of mythological creatures, list of legendary creatures, or list of cryptids.

Some good looking ones might be:
1) The slamander.  Not sure what biome it would appear in but it would be fire immune, breathe fire, and be rather small in line with the old myths surrounding the slamanders

2) Water Leaper.  Had a frog's head, snake's body, bat wings, and a stinger with paralyzing venom.  Would probably appear in rivers or lakes.  A bit on the small side and not very confrontational

3) Ahool.  An enourmous gorrilla like bat found in the rainforest.  Slightly larger than a man, capable of flight.

4) Wendigo.  a gaunt human, very strong and fast that feeds on people.  Would focus on hunting your dwarves and lives by itself, definetly an evil biome creature.

5) Namean Lion.  like a giant lion but nigh invulerable.  Would probably have it's skin have the same properties of adamantine or something.

I'll try and find a few more promising creatures.
