Capybara!!
« on: December 08, 2008, 02:32:40 am »

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capybara

Seriously, these NEED to be in the game.  "Master of Grasses"??  "Water Hog"??  Worlds largest living rodent?? It's fossil ancestors weighed A TONNE??

Dwarfs might prefer them for their "webbed toes", or for their "purrs and grunts".  or for just about any of their other numerous qualities. 

Why don't I have one of these?  The neighbors would hush up quick when they saw me walking a 130lb amphibious rodent down the street.

Yeah. But I agree with the original poster that they would be a great inclusion to the DF stock universe.

Right?

Oozes

I'm already working on it.

Unfortunately, my previous attempts (making them an animal-siege like Rhesus Macaques who would storm in, kill everything and drink all your booze) failed due to the inherent cowardice of animal code, [NOFEAR] nonwithstanding. I think I'll just relegate them to Giant-type status for now.

We already have hoary marmots and groundhogs. Do we really need another large furry rodent thing?

Awwww! They're so cute!

Dwarves could totally ride them btw. Why CAN'T dwarves ride anything? I'd like to see dwarven war ponies.

...asks someone who modded in 20 domestic cats.


Yes, always!  The power of the Rodent Alliance grows!  Besides, they'd be larger and live in different areas.

I approve of expansion of vanilla wild kingdom. However, I'd rather see more -men.

The capybara might make a good dwarven equivalent of pigs and mules, as well as provide a mount, once that code is in place.  I like!  :D

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur
