My works on lacking stuff...

ZKL did the botu and devona did the Halloween Ghoul

[Truly_happy]

There is no description for the Halloween Ghoul. Is it a shapeshifting creature consistent with the ghoul of Arabian folklore?

[Luz21]

Since Halloween is coming up can you do a more cryptids like ogopogo wendigo phaya naga kraken leviathan Mongolian death worm sirrush kirin kasai rex ngoubou emela ntouka ropen gambo sea serpent giant anaconda manipogo thunderbird and jackalope cause we need more cryptid mods the cryptids I’m aware of zkl’s werewolf buru and jersey devil

What did you have in mind, Zarawatto?

 

Personally, I am trying to think of animals that could come from other animals or objects ... perhaps there could be a cat that later becomes a bakeneko (Japanese folkloric monster), but the normal cat would probably have to sit there and look cute for a time. Too bad it's not practical. ... BUT if it could be pulled-off, the bakeneko could have some cool shape-shifting animations, like turning into a geisha, for example.

 

A gargoyle that comes to life would be sweet.

 

A portal that produces an animal from another dimention ...

 

I'm not sure at all... I was just wondering if I could make the loong urn an item that could turn into loong when placed in a tank. I already told in Discord that I'm thinking about crafting also qilin and fenghuang for a mythical chinese mini pack. Qilin shapeshifing into a chinese gargoyle seems pretty neat!

 

If bakeneko is an idea, I think that a cat (or any shapeshifting animal) can have two sets of animations and configure behaviors that might change between... iirc, some animals like tiger or lion, have more moving animations in addition to walk an run, like troting, hunting and running while roaring...

 

Like bHappy1,50,bHappy2,50 in behavior probability string and in animation strings, each loads different animations... Lotsa huge animation work, but seems possible to me

[Truly_happy]

Ah, the bakeneko hunting ... I heard they can create storms to vanquish a foe at sea. Would be cool to have one summon a lightning bolt for that animation.

Loong is gonna have new friends soon...

  Qilin (Male, longer mane and horn; Female, yellow and bigger)

I've heard of these Chinese beasts before! Beautiful!

Updates:

 

I made some changes to Loong. I had some unused animations for underwater that I managed to rescue. Also, Loong is compatible now with Taz's Baiji and bamboo is no longer their favorite item: I changed it to lily so it can work for baiji's suitability. Also, qilin is finally here. Get a true firebender to your zoos!

Qilin is not a tankable animal, but water terrain works well if you wanna make a merged exhibit with loong.
