BATS-----------------------------------------------------

Bats "Chiroptera"

Lot of species here but the reasonably condensed list goes:

Fruit bats (what you probably picture when you think of vampires)

Sac-winged bats (little bit lighter, have pheromone sacks on their wings and short tails.)

Bumblebee bat (has the nose that looks like a pig. Small enough that it almost has to be vermin and should maybe be omitted.)

Horseshoe bats (they have a little doodlebop on their noses shaped like a horseshoe or leaf.)

Slit faced bats (they've got a split down the middle of their face and their tails end in a T. Also have a nose-leaf)

Ghost bat (has a membrane that makes it look like a ghhost and is otherwise shaped like a vampire bat but eats insects. No tail.)

Vesper bats (common bat.)

Pallid bats (vesper bats with big eyes and ears, probably omit.)

Free tail bats (Might want to just do Western mastiff bat because it's so big, for a bat.)

Funnel Ear Bats

Sucker Foot bats

Fisherman bats (they've got food pouches in their face- also called bulldog bats.)

Mystacinidae (These spend a lot of time walking instead of flying and can tuck away their wings. Only one species still around.)

Moustache bats (these are the commercial guano producers because they have such huge colonies.)


-and holy crap leaf nose bats. Probably just make one creature for these but really common

==========================Unorganized Australian Animals - (help with this)=============================

Long-nosed Potoroo (Wallaby Rat) Quokka Dingo White-footed Rabbit-rat (Ex) Short-tailed Hopping Mouse (Ex) River Dolphin - Friendly river animals, something not likely to maul fishermen Giant Elk - Nonlocational name for the Irish Elk, one of the largest deer with the largest set of antlers Thylacine - already mentioned, the Tasmanian Tiger Kakapo - Not extinct, but it's the largest parrot, flightless and has unique mating rituals

Cephalopod Greater Blue Ringed Octopus Mimic Octopus (perhaps different castes for it's different mimics?) North Pacific Giant Octopus (but I guess the North Pacific part can be left out)


========================Unorganized Extinct Animals - (help with this)=================================

  • coconut crab
  • star nosed mole
  • naked mole rat
  • bombardier beetle (material breath very hot liquid!)
  • Onychophor (Velvet worm) (These are awesome! Also, they spit glue as a weapon! if toady made the name (just name, not behavior) of the GCS web attack customizabe it'd work perfectly)
  • whip scorpion/vinegarroon

  • nemertea (ribbon worms)
  • crinoid (sea lilies)
  • Amblypygi (whip spiders)
  • Liopleurodon (ex) (these are freking hardcore)
