i used weasel for squirel

sheep might be as dogs but without the bite attack. I wonder if halfling hve ever had a riding sheep or Warsheep?

'These animals are similar to sheep but are trained and bred for strength and aggression. They usually are not ready for warfare before age three. A sheep can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds on a Ride check.'

Thanks, but I should have mentioned somewhere that I actualy managed to stat out most of those critters. Perhaps they would make a good submission to the resource section....I even included a European swallow. :D

Yeah, upload that to the resources section, then put a link to it in this thread. Never know when it might be useful.

You mean you actually want stats on a sea gull? Wait a minute. That actually will be useful....>>
Just so you know, the adder's poison is described using my poison varient (yes, Rin, technically yours....), and many of the animals there are in the PHB and other books. I just made a single list of all the animals that lived in an area in which we were playing once. Made it easier to reference. Enjoy.

I am *so* going to apply the Half-Dragon, Half-Vampire, and Swarm templates to the chicken.

:D I knew someone would like it. At least no one has asked about grappling the sheep....

By the way, anyone who has any suggestions for other animals, please post them. I know I will need a nice variety of animals for this new campaign (grr.....), so any kind of suggestions as to animals you would like to see stated out, just let me know.

You know, looking through your file, I started to think about how a *bunch* of these animals could show up on variant familiar lists. Imagine a mouse familiar for a Gnome Wizard or a weasel for the sly Human Sorcerer.

I'd like to see some writeups for making some of these into familiars and what the caster would get as their benefits.

That might be a possibility in time, but right now I am far moreconcerned with populating the world with animals. Heck, so far, we don't even have a wizard or sorcerer in the party. :P Though any requests for animals are certainly being entertained at the moment.

I am curious as to what you can come up with for a giraffe. I don't remember reading about one anywhere. Or a groundhog. That would be interesting too.

Am I the only one finding it a bit scary that we as players went out of our way and put effort into making stastic blocks for seaguls?

hmm... groundhogs....

Perhaps you have a European swallow. But don't forget, it could be carried by an African Swallow.

Holy Crap! Kami's back too, now! It's a reunion! Wee!

Grappling a Hedgehog. Anyone think it is worth putting in a "Spines (Ex): Deals 1d2 points of piercing damage to opponents attempting to grapple it," quality?

Giraffe, Groundhog, African Swallow - Those will be next. And no it's not sad that we have stats for seagulls. They are among the most evil creatures of the world. Right below squirrels.

And I'm boosting your honor for that Groundhog Day quote, Axel. :D
