Haha, the fluffy wambler is cool, although I'm surprised they're humanoid in shape rather than being ball-shaped.  Apparently they're purple on the inside.  Encountering wambler titans in Adv. Mode should be interesting -- they don't bleed or have bones that can be easily shattered.

[Fluffy Wambler]

Feep?

Wamble is a verb concerning unsteady movement, so it's crucial that the wambler moves in this way, "stumble bumbling".  Currently, to facilitate this verb, they are humanoid rather than quadruped (but covered in fluff much like your picture) and stumble around and get into your food.  Between a guinea pig and hamster in size.  Their bodies are made up of fluff, skin, and a central core of pudge.  No organs aside from the eyes.  It's unclear now whether they'll get mouths or whether food is absorbed directly into the pudge.  It's also unclear whether even the humanoid part will remain, provided other ways of wambling are explored.

The wambler comes through!  Thanks for relaying that.

No problem!  Toady and I had a talk last night about this project, and we recorded it.  I'll post it in the next couple of days.  Good fun!

As soon as the next version comes out, I'm making Fluffy Wamblers pets and make them breed faster than cats, to recreate Trouble with Tribbles in my fortress.

A new podcast "teaser" will be up soon.  In it I interview Toady about creature tags and other things of interest to the modding community.  Keep an eye and ear out for it!   

[Mephansteras]

Looking forward to it!

I might be able to help if i find some time and if I can figure out the raws

[Exo]

ill help with the native aussie animals , i have an old school assignment i did with a list of eveyr native australian animal and various statistics about their different subtypes , if i can dig that out it should prove useful

but for now how bout a tasmanian devil , emu , and of course dropbears

[Misterstone]

Hey!  Sounds like fun.  I have a question: I know that you guys want realistic animals at this point, not pure fantasy.  BUT, what if I want to code a giant version of a creature that is normally only vermin sized? 

Even though a giant crab or whatever is not realistic, having a code for crabs with fully defined limbs, tissue, etc etc. would be useful to the game IMHO because it could be used as copy pasta to generate giant monsters critters with crab-like attributes, and possibly crab-men, etc.  What do you think?

Otherwise... not sure what I want to work on.  I'll think of something...

[Exo]

The dingo is canine , the potoroo and quokka are marsupials but im not sure about the others , and when i said tasmanian devil i meant the tasmanian tiger but i saw you have thylacine there now .. other things that come to mind are the  the frilled necked lizard ( and alot of reptiles for that matter like the goanna or blue tounge lizard  but i guess theyre all vermin) , the brolga , bush tailed rock wallaby , and lets not forget stingrays , also , can we mod traits like baby snatcher to animals such as dingoes?
 

[Thursday Postal]

It'd be fun to have recently extinct earth animals, like the Dodo, the River Dolphin, or the Tasmanian Tiger, more nonlocationally known as the Thylacine.. Or further back for Mammoths and other megafauna, possibly for certain spheres?

I'd be willing to work on some of these, like:

Dodo - You all know this one
Elephant Bird - Largest land bird, could possibly use Moa instead if the name sounded better
River Dolphin - Friendly river animals, something not likely to maul fishermen
Passenger Pigeon - Used to be extremely common, would probably be better off as a critter though going by the current bird system
Giant Elk - Nonlocational name for the Irish Elk, one of the largest deer with the largest set of antlers
Thylacine -  already mentioned, the Tasmanian Tiger
Steller's Sea Cow - already mentioned earlier
Kakapo - Not extinct, but it's the largest parrot, flightless and has unique mating rituals
