I'm so bad at sticking to my own word. I planned to have a small herd of guars and a few nix hounds, but in the and I have:
-an ever-expanding herd of guars (MorrowRim)
-a decent-sized herd of retching netches (MorrowRim)
-a large pack of nix hounds (MorrowRim)
-a smaller pack of durzogs (MorrowRim)
-a family of ash panthers (MorrowRim)
-two whole silt striders (MorrowRim)
-a pair of alits (MorrowRim)
-a scamp (MorrowRim), our daedric mascot
-a hill troll and an ash troll (MorrowRim - trolls). Hoping to get a Udyrfrykte too
-a Uintatherium (Megafauna)
-a megalania (Megafauna)
-a Stegosaurus (Dinosauria)
The good side is that I can make my caravans as big as I need, and honor Sain Jiub by selling cliff racer leather dusters en masse (though the leather is near to worthless, better for doormats).
The bad part is that there's no kwama, shalks or ash hoppers because nix hounds exterminate them fast. At least nix oxen can't be eaten in one sitting, so there still is a reliable source of chirin.
The ugly part is that ash panthers sometimes attack netches and get brutalized by venomous tentacles, then develop immunodeficiency. Nix hounds sometimes aggro entire swarms of cliff racers, though that can be dealt with a liberal use of ORANGE TRANSPARENT CHAINSAW.
The sad part is that Misao, my Oni animal trainer gets easily attached to the most inappropriate animals, such as a nix hound with no antennae or a durzog that had its ryes gouged out by a kahouti.
Still, I'm having a lot of fun with the current colony.
