Names are for the Weak

Here is a thread for suggesting animals you would like to add to the game. You can suggest earth animals, living or extinct, or more alien animals, either genetically engineered or natural. Also, note what biomes they appear in, their diet, and any possible special abilities/harvestable resources besides meat and leather, such as milk or wool.

Here's an example:

Name: Komodo Dragon
Diet: Meat, Meals, Alcohol, Kibble
Hunts*: All animals, including humans, besides elephants, boom animals, or Thrumbos.
Biomes: Jungle, Arid Shrubland, Desert, Extreme Desert
Harvestable Resources: None
Reproduction: Lays eggs
Special Ability: Bites instantly cause infection in bitten region

*Not needed for herbivores or non-predators.

On the subject of Komodo dragons, there are some real life behavioural patterns which could be added. Young Komodo Dragons will hunt smaller prey until they reach around 20kg, at which point they will suddenly switch to hunting larger prey, ignoring animals they previously hunted. This could be implemented in Rimworld to some extent. I just wanted to mention this cool thing about Komodo dragons.

Back on topic, yes, more animals would be pretty cool. Maybe even extinct or hybrid animals (dinosaurs please, Tynan?).

There'll probably be no chance that we can re-create Jurassic Park within Rimworld outside of mods. Tynan wants to stick to hard sci-fi, and dinosaurs are probably outside of the realm of possibility.

We already have much, but it's still not enough.   
Still no flyers then. (Maybe in A18...)
Eat lead, walking pile of silver! (greedy Player)
I...I can't do it. Leave it alive, please!(inner soul)
It lives 200 years to end up as a jacket?!(realists mind)
If I would go to vacation in off-Earth, even fictional place, I'd choose Nibel.
