Awesome creatures that aren't on DF?
« on: September 06, 2009, 07:52:01 pm »

DF has so many creatures that i haven't even heard before, including pre-historic fish and odd foul blendec things, but there's so many awesome creatures that haven't made in.
This isn't a sugestion topic, more like a "what creature would you like to see in DF" thing, toady has more to worry about then adding random creatures in DF right now, but hell, i just really wanted to post something about narwhals.

But of course Toady will want to add Narwhal Men too.

Hey, if he's adding giant giants then I'm sure there will be everything.

i just wanna know why there are so many damn types of gibbons and only one kind of dog.

I think nobles should be able to get lapdogs, like a little vanity pet that sits on your shoulder like pet vermin do.

What about giant midgets? They stand just about as tall as man.

With horn finally making it in, narwhals are a great idea.

That said, my suggestion:

CRABS! There are no crustaceans other than cave lobsters. Borrow some exoskeletal structure basics from the GCS and antmen and make them a little fleshier underneath, boom. Crabs, crabmen, giant horseshoe crabs, etc.

I put in crabs. They're pretty much red turtles.

It would be nice if we had basic canoes until real multi-tile jumbo boats can be done. Otherwise, all the aquatic life is slightly squandered.

something like that with the ballista heads/ramp symbols could work.

It'd be nice to see more "redundant" animals for different biomes. Llamas and Alpacas for tropical/mountain biomes, caimans for rainforests, etc. I suspect that might have to wait until when/if toady decides to make animals live in specific regions rather than simultaneously existing in any workable biome.

Giant Crabs as a savage arctic ocean animal would be fun. You're just chilling in your fort and suddenly a size 16 arthropod busts down the door and starts dragging screaming dwarves into the ocean.
