Well, humans eat monkeys in some cultures, so in and of itself this shouldn't be a problem.
The underlying problem of course is that the ponies eat meat at all, which they clearly don't in the cartoon (nor would a real pony). This is something that really can't be fixed in the current version of Dwarf Fortress if I understand correctly though. Removing butcher shops would prevent you from butchering animals, but that removes all of their other useful side products in addition to meat. And it wouldn't stop you from importing and eating it.
Still, cows and such are clearly capiable of self-thought, and even a animal as basic as a rabbit is shown to be self-aware, even if mute.
And hay, Pinkie said she was in a hotdog eating contest once, and a few spotted something resembling ham sandwiches in one episode. But we can just put that at the writers slipping, tho.
I can't find any of them except the Gorgons. Are they in AD&D or basic?
Ah, sorry. I was not aware you only had the original box sets. I am a Pathfinder person, myself. ( Dont shoot me!)
Anyway, I do think that the catoblepas should be in there, somewhere. The Khalkotauroi where pulled straight from a old text we had to study in class, actualy. Think a brass bull with a smoky fire breath. I would think that two bull-shaped shaped beasts need some spiceing up , and that we could slap on wings on one of them for !!fun!! and profit. Or we could make the Gorgan scaly to offset the poison breath. "shrugs"
Warhammer 40k don't do that sort of thing. You have <10 tonnes for 40k, then <100 tonnes for Apocalypse. Nothing in between.
Indeed. You are ether a troop choice or a unit in Apocalypse. No in betweeners.
