Dogs (or Trans-Dogs)

[Tumuel]

People have mentioned trainable animals before in the suggestions, but I think a pet dog is far more logical a thing to have than a muffalo is. And in the Rimworld universe there are GM animals with increased intelligence, so I guess there would be packs of wild trans-dogs wandering around the place which you could capture and recruit in a similar way to colonists, they could do jobs such as hunting and maybe hauling, and give mood buffs to people who socialize with them (unless your colonist does not like dogs, possible character trait there).

If not dogs there could also be transimians (GM apes, for those who did not read the briefing), which could possibly do even more jobs than dogs do.

I do think it would be a very interesting thing to have more than just humans in one's colony, although I do understand the no aliens business.

Best companion ever!!!!

The dog gives a mood+ for the owner and an instant breakdown if the dog dies?.. i dunno   

But hey maybe some day we can chase off visitors like Mr. Burns
