This is an idea for after alpha 3 relase if we can make new pawns.
The general idea is a rare giant muffalo that wanders. Basically a Male(or female) muffalo that wanders herd to herd, assuming all the regular muffalo are all female (or male)
About 2-3 times the times of a normal muffalo.
I perfer if it was purple and had ridiculous huge green/purple horns, just to offset how dopey muffalos normally look, not hating I love muffalos.

Good idea, but should look like a normal muffalo, maybe with darker shades and big horns. A purple one with green horns would just look dumb and spawn thousands of 'Barney the Dinosaur' jokes.

Hehe, yeah that's why I posted it as giant muffalo rather than giant purple muffalo. Maybe there could be 2 versions, one legitimate version with giant muffalo, then one ridiculous purple version for people like me. Or maybe both, bigger male roaming muffalo that are decently common, and also a rare monstrous one. Perhaps blue.. like paul bunyan's ox. I doubt the feature will come with alpha 3 either way, so you can probably expect a mod like this from me sometime.

I might be able to help with the image for that. I think it'd be a quick fix of the current muffalo.

That would be awesome, I like your art.
I'm not so good with natural objects, the horns I made looked alright...but it would need 2 sets of different perspective horns, sides and front/back, so I gave up :p No horns might be easier. Can't make new pawns right now, or there would probably be animals mods already, but we can have the texture ready. I made a swarm of flies that works except textures are wrong.

heh, sorry no, I either didnt save, deleted, or lost it. It wasn't very good. Something similar to an ibex, not as huge as that.

google.. I didnt draw this, I dont really draw.

I like that! but now that I think aboout it maybe I should've said buffalo, since they are...muffalo.

The first one is a white buffalo. The second is a decorative compromise between the ibex and white buffalo, a togruta child upside-down. This is actually pretty close to what I drew the first time.

That looks like the Muffalo equivalent of Grumpy Cat with a touch of Loki.

I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself

The Alphalo (Alffalo?) mod, because clearly it can be male or female according to op? It's like that Far Side strip where the sheep leads the herd out. 'GRAZE!' ... 'BACK TO THE BARN!'. He was the king of sheep.

Being able to tame the Alphalo would be awesome. Ride it into battle.

Thats awesome! Thanks shadow! Those look alot deadlier than the sheep horns. And that hair gives it an extra old touch.

I haven't ever need that strip.. Alphalo is a cool idea, But the behavior is harder to mod. This wandering one would basically be an independant animal. Interaction with existing herds, I don't know how I would do that, alpha females that stay with the herd.

Heh, I can't make the mod until Alpha 3 I think, can't code certain things yet. But should be out after that. Art is the hardest part.
