i've begun ironing out some animal templates for ATB2, i have about 11 planned (most are chimera's)
i've considered adding some world wide creatures, i'm just kinda short on idea's and i lack the ATB1 books, so i'm not sure what has been done.
if you would like to help, list some animals that haven't been done (i'm really leaning towards Eurasia right now with some of the stuff i already have.)
UPDATE: just finished 9 of the templates.
Jackalope, Pegasus, Thracian Horse [carnivorous horse], Griffon, Unicorn [horse-rhino chimera], Emperor Penguin (improved from Rifter #18 ), Fairy Penguin, Rockhopper penguin, Cabbit [cat-rabbit chimera, housepet].

on the Aardwolves, what would be the point of making that particular chimera?
in my thinking, you have 4 reasons for any chimera
1.) scientific research (shifter mice for example.)
2.) business (to be sold. like pets)
3.) entertainment (those gladiator chimera's from rifter #29, pleasure bunnies, zoological parks)
4.) just for the heck of it (a bunch of Gene-hackers decide to have fun one day.) this would be the least common reason, at least as far as population surviving.

ah, that would be my problem. given the millions of species out there, its hard to recognise more than a relative handful.
minor update.
i've dropped the cabbit (despite my best efforts it wound up way to close to its fictional inspiration, so i figured i'd not risk it. i may post it here though, since it is a whole different animal, its just not different enough for publication.)
the rest will be bundled together as Plains of freedom (a free cattle "expansion pack") with some paleo's and a few chimera's, and a misc. pack with the rest.
