Future Animals, and hunting only animals.

[Aaronpie 4]

I would like to start a discussion on Animals, so far, I can classify them like this.

 

Danger- Bears, 

 

Tamable- wolves, horses.

 

Domesticate-able - pigs, sheep, chicken, cows

 

Huntable only- Deer, pheasant

 

I like that there are animals which can only be hunted, but I would like to see more. Also because monsters will be moved underground, I would like more discussion on what "danger animals" there will be, it would be cool to have something like the giant forest hog in Terrafirmacraft, a seven foot long, three foot high 600-700 lb Hog which could not be tamed and would be like a faster, less potent bear.  

 

I would also like to see more "hunt-able only" animals. Such as mountain goats,or big horn goats which could be a half danger, half hunt-able only animal, it would by the kind of thing you would hunt when you have good ranged weapons, or armor. 

 

What kind of mes-you-up animals will be implemented after monsters are moved underground might be implemented, and should there be more hunt-able only animals?

 

Should they all spawn like bears, or should some spawn in groups ( a herd of giant forest hogs)?

I think that alligator/crocodile could be a nice addition to swamps/southern regions. As well as sharks or piranhas to the oceans/lakes/rivers.

 

As well some poisonous snakes could be an evil idea since they might be hard to spot in high grass. These should be non lethal though, anyone having found out the as "hot springs" disguised traps of doom can confirm that sudden death without much of actual fault can get quiet annoing .

 

When it comes to hunting and huntable only animals i am not even sure how they are implemented right now. Do they accualy respawn? If they do not i will keep my current stance and never kill them since i like them in the scenery. If they do respawn i think they are some kind of overpowered since they are rather common to find. It might be a good idea to give them an AI that pushes them towards fleeing, even already upon approch, and with a higher running speed.

 

What i would tweak is that a pack of wolves, especially during winter when they might find less prey, would attack a player as well.

It would be cool if/when the body temperature update comes out, huntable only animals would drop Furs, which you can't get from domesticated animals, which would be used for high-end clothing

I want to fight a giant alligator in the swamps

The animal I would most like to see added would be a mountain goat, which can be milked but maybe not bred. Right now, it's quite hard to find cows (and thus milk) at high latitudes, and dragging cows with leads from several thousand blocks away is a small nightmare.Rabbits and snakes would be nice too.
