Created by Ghrin 2005
Updated October 1, 2020 by fern to allow it to appear in maps such as the Kids Map, to fix the sounds in a few cases, to show the preferred object's tooltip for the young, to show the full reference web site in the animal info, and to remove some unnecessary files and configuration lines.
Note: The preferred object for this animal is the Snowbell Tree, which is a tree that comes with CC. So CC is needed to see that preferred object in the purchase menu and animal info for this animal.

Black Dog by Ghirin
By Guest
Black Dogs are found in the folklore of both England and Scotland. These creature are usually described as the size of calves with shaggy black hair and glowing red eyes. Black Dogs are often encountered in places of transition in human lives such and bridges and crossroads. Some Black Dogs are said to guard ancient treasures or sacred places from trespassers.
The exact nature of Black Dogs varies from place to place. If left alone, many Black Dogs are benign; howeever, if a person attempts to strike out or otherwise engage such a dog, that person will be savagely attacked and maybe even killed. In some places, merely seeing a Black Dog is a portent of death while in other places Black Dogs are said to lead lost travelers to safety.

European Unicorn by Ghirin
By Guest
European Unicorn by Ghirin
The unicorn's name comes from two Latin words, and means "one horn." Unicorns today are extremely rare in the wild.
Historically, unicorns have been found throughout the world, with sub-species existing in China, Tibet, Japan, India, Europe and the Middle East.
The unicorn has a wide range of appearances, depending on the subspecies. For example, the Chinese unicorn is shaped like a large stag, having a mane, cloven hooves, and multi-colored skin. This variant has a musical, bell-like call. The Indian unicorn is large and white, resembling a wild ass, with a red head and dark blue eyes. Julius Caesar described the European unicorn as resembling a deer, while later accounts from the Middle Ages depicted the unicorn as more of a goat-like creature, with a tail similar to that of a lion. The unicorns most familiar to modern eyes are descendants of the European unicorn, and are larger, with white horse-like bodies.

Fouke Monster by Moondawg
By Guest
The Fouke Monster is a legendary cryptid reported near the town of Fouke in Miller County, Arkansas during the early 1970s, where it was accused of attacking a local family.
Initial sightings of the creature were concentrated in the Jonesville/Boggy Creek area, where it was blamed for the death of local livestock. Later, sightings were made several hundred miles to the north and the east of Fouke.
The creature was named by journalist Jim Powell, who reported on it for the Texarkana Gazette and the Texarkana Daily News.
The Fouke Monster was also covered by the state desk headed by Norman L. Richardson of the Shreveport Times. It has been the subject of several films and a number of books.
Various reports of the creature made between 1971 and 1974 described the creature as being a large hominid-like creature covered in long dark hair, which was estimated to be about 7 feet (2.1 m) tall with a weight of 250-300 pounds. Witnesses said that its chest was about 3 feet (0.91 m) wide. Later reports, published during the early 1980s, claimed that it was far larger, with one report describing it as 10 feet (3.0 m) tall, with an estimated weight of 800 pounds.
Some accounts describe the Fouke Monster as running in a 'hunched/slouched' posture and swinging its arms in a similar fashion to a monkey. Reports also describe it as having a terrible odor and as having bright red eyes, about the size of silver dollars.
A variety of tracks and claw marks have been discovered which are claimed to belong to the creature. One set of foot prints reportedly measured 17 inches (430 mm) in length and 7 inches (180 mm) wide, another appeared to show that the creature only had three toes.
The Legend of Boggy Creek
The Legend of Boggy Creek is a 1972 documentary-style film dealing with an alleged creature known as the "Fouke Monster", a Bigfoot-like being seen in and around Fouke, Arkansas since the 1940s. The film mixes interviews with local residents who claim to have had encountered the creature with dramatic/fictitious reenactments of said encounters. Charles B. Pierce, an ad salesman from Texarkana on the Arkansas/Texas border, borrowed $160,000 from a local trucking company, used an old movie camera, and hired locals, mainly high school and college students, to make the 87 minute long film in 1972. It generated $20 million in revenue, and is now on DVD.
The film sets out to question the existence of the Fouke Monster, a creature that is reportedly seen mainly by hunters and ranchers. It is over 8 feet tall with a slender build and long legs and arms. It is completely covered in hair and has three toes on its feet, as indicated by tracks seen in a creek bank.
Several locals from the small town of Fouke, Arkansas recall their stories, often appearing as themselves. In one scene, a police officer states that it crossed a road in front of him at 30-35 mph, in another, the creature attacks some people in a house; they fire on it, but it sends one of them to the hospital. In another scene, hunters attempt to chase the creature with dogs, but the dogs refuse to go after it. In other scenes, the narrator states that people have shot at it, incl. that a juvenile had shot at it. They claimed that the creature has killed 500lb-600lb hogs, deer, other animals and had eaten them. In a close up scene, a kitten is shown as being killed by the monster. In the end, the creature escapes all attempts to hunt it, and locals debate over whether it is dead, or still out there.

Midnight Unicorn by Jordan
By Guest
Midnight Unicorns are stunningly black and beautiful creatures living in mountainous regions of Eurasia. Idea by Genki.
The Midnight Unicorn is so-named due to the coloring of the male. Black as the darkest, moonless night, the stallion is stunningly beautiful to behold. Smoky in color, the mare is beautiful in her own right, exuding the elegance known to the species. Found primarily in the highlands, these creatures easily traverse mountainous regions. These amazing creatures have been known to appear to lost climbers in the various mountain ranges of Eurasia, having been reported from the Alps to the Himalayas. When the tales are later shared, the sightings are written off as illusions plaguing weary and worried souls.

Sea Breeze Unicorn by Jordan
By Guest
The Sea Breeze Unicorn is a shy, but friendly animal that lives in coastal, wooded areas. Legend says that these unicorns were once sea-bound creatures, whose light footsteps allowed them to run across the water. Sailors in the North Atlantic would claim to have seen herds of hundreds of them running across the sea and called them the "steeds of Poseidon". (He was the god of horses too!) But more recently, these peaceful creatures were driven from the ocean by the deadly Kraken. Although they have adapted to life on land, they still love the ocean and prefer to remain close to it.

Spyro The Dragon by GamerDeath
Spyro is my first post so please don't laugh. Thank You.
Before the game begins, the five Dragon families lived in their five Dragon Worlds in harmony. Their lives were happy and peaceful until the day a Gnorc broke the rules; Gnasty Gnorc was an unpleasant creature that the Dragons were never too fond of and in return. Gnasty resented the happy Dragon families. More than anything, he detested their beautiful, shiny jewels, which were not only nice to look at, but showed him reflections of his own ugly face every time he did so. Gnasty became such a problem that he was banished to the Dragon junkyard, the world that the Dragons weren’t too fond of but they didn’t see how well it would suit Gnasty. It suited Gnasty just fine. He renamed it Gnasty’s World as soon as he got there and overtook Gnorc Cove and Twilight Harbour. He also built his home there, as well as an industrial settlement, which he would later keep all of the stolen treasure. Gnasty began to fool around with magic spells there and after a while, he hit on the two he wanted: a giant spell to trap all Dragons in crystal as well as a potion to animate the radiant gems and turn them into an army of Gnorc soldiers and Trolls.

The Legend of Spyro
In the new continuity, Spyro's personality differs greatly from his past outings. Spyro is young and compassionate towards others and he is always willing to help them no matter what happens. Spyro doesn't ask for rewards and is just happy to be a big help to those in danger. He even saves Cynder from being destroyed when the area he fought her in was collapsing.
Updated September 4, 2022 by Jay to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines, to position individual frames of the animations so that they do not jump around, to make the frame counts match for the adult stand animation so that the animal does not sometimes disappear while rotating the zoo, to make the animal no longer be allowed on water since the animal would get stuck on water and since it does not have swimming, flying, or gliding animations, to make the preferred object tooltip appear for the females and young, to not allow the young to climb fences since the animations for the young are that of ZT's American Bison, to not have the animal dislike itself, to have adults always use animations that exist in the ztd, to allow dust clouds to occur when the animal catches prey, to correct sounds playing at various times, to make the purchase menu name use the same name as the ztd, and to change typos in the animal info.
