It surely contains some good ones. I especially like the Catmeleon. ;D
wow, the Spowl and Cheagle were particularly awesome... ;D

The Spowl is defiantly the stuff of my nightmares. ;D
Considering the game is top down, and with an of course lowered level of detail, why should ALL of those be implemented, or even any of them?...besides looking interesting, I don't see any real function behind them, and I think much more interesting concept ideas could be implemented. For instance, look at the boom-rat. Its a relatively small, and harmless rodent, but blows up on death, making it much more threatening that it seems on the surface.
Not saying those things don't LOOK cool, I just don't see how they would effect anything OUTSIDE that.

Did you leave your sense of humor at home? This isn't exactly a serious thread hence the silly smiley icon. ;) But to answer your post....
No one we should use all of them, just the good ones. As to whether there are effects beyond their looks that's up to development to determine how the creature behaves. But we can make suggestions.
For instance, maybe Spowls spin webs in tunnels that slow your colonist, or they cold get stuck in them and have to be rescued. It's up to us to imagine what the creatures might do.
