Seems like Skully's going for a sledgehammer release. Instead of slowly adding each animal.
ETA, dunno yet. But hopefully *soon™*!

Im still on it. Might release the animals without custom behaviours if people reaaaaally want em. Just tidying up the verb stuff so they can shoot.

Poll added.

Anyone able to imagine psychicly inclined animals or entities that would cause psychich drones or when appearing cause a hellfire/meteorstorm? Tho i think that' too off topic off to more legendary encounters and gloriously lost games.

A few of these are already in some mods/packs Huntakilla, like 3 I've seen.

How about six legged horses? They'd go well with Right Tool for the Haul's Saddles and Carts!
Or a murder of crows?
Centaur Space Cowboys hmm I need to learn cpp
Is there somewhere a tutorial on how to work that way with gimp or somesuch?

Yeah, the only one that I'm aware of is the Hardcore SK. Dunno if it has the animals beyond Batch 1 as the creator only linked back to this thread:

But eitherway, the main mod complete with all the animals will be released by Skullywag under the title "Alpha Animals". (Originally Alpha Predators, but I decided to include non predator-y stuffs.)

Well, would ya look at that.
The waiting game it is!

Anyways, possible plans for the next batch.

Plasmorphs (Insectoid snails that shoot firebombs at you. Probs gonna be for Tundra biomes)
Elder Root (Legendary animal/treeman that's incredibly resistant to bullets and blunts, Kill it with fire.)
Meadow Aves (Colorful fast running birds/raptors for Temperate forests! Chocobos anyone?)
Blizzarisks (Giant Spiders v2.0, now with snow camo and luxurious fur.)
Wildpods (Swamp monsters! Has the resistances of the Elder Root but weaker and smaller, might make it to only spawn as a manhunter event)
Ironhusk Beetles (Giant beetles that sheds steel plates that you can use. Eats wood and are only sold by Traders.)
Harvesters (Technically mechanoids. Eats anything organic, then you can milk it for nutrient paste! Sold by Traders.)
No names yet but probably another legendary that shoots a barrage of 4 firebombs (with a mortar-like explosion radius) simultaneously. (Don't worry, Tynan is adding fire extinguishers next patch! c: )

That's kind of it for now. More will eventually get added.
I'm gonna discontinue the Razorjack though. As cool as the name is, the nightling already got its special attack and unique appearance.

Edit 2:
But damnit, I also really like the name. Maybe I could rename the Nightling... POLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Edit:
And when Tynan releases the next patch which includes EXTREME deserts, I got some plans as well...

Edit 3:
Also, Won't be able to work on these soon, school keeps taking away my free time. I just have barely enough to dedicate to video games.

Hey this looks very promising . Beutifull work on all of the creatures
Do you plan to tie in a little crafting to this mod? namely making a kind of armor out of the plates the bugs drop ? or from the snowlion`s pelt? and so on

[dismar]

Well, currently they're set to just drop materials that you can use to craft vanilla stuffs. No special items planned yet. Though I could consider it in the future.

Anyways. I found out from the guys at the modder's slack that you can give animals a wobble effect that makes them look like they're floating.
So... Floaty jellyfishies here we come!
