Fall DLC 2023 Speculation

here I, they are too sweet and too greasy for me. But it's probably also because I live in Germany, and Germany is just amazing when it comes to baked goods. There are 100 times tastier things than a sweet, sticky, greasy thing with a hole in the middle.
Our "Berliner" alone are better than donuts and they're actually too greasy for me. I only eat them after midnight at new years eve.
"Berliner":
I would die for a Tundra Pack! Walrus
(Musk Ox, Mountain Hare, White-tailed Ptarmigan)
My ideal Tundra roster:
Animal pack (which is more likely, i can't really think of a building themed for this unless is mixed with northern coaster)
1. Wolverine
2. Musk ox
3. Sea otter
4. Arctic haré
5. Atlantic puffin
6. Walrus
7. Tundra swan
8. WTEx: snowy owl
Scenery DLC
1. Wolverine
2. Musk ox
3. Sea otter
4. Walrus
5. WT: snowy owl

I feel like there should be one Antarctic representative atleast if it’s a tundra pack instead of an Arctic pack. That’s why I added the Adélie penguin
Tundra Animal Pack
- Wolverine
- Walrus
- Musk Ox
- Wapiti/Elk
- Coyote (To fit the theme, Frontier would have to go for a more fluffy version
) - Mountain Hare
- Rockhopper Penguin
- Ptarmigan (WE)
- Wolverine
- Mountain Hare
- Musk Ox
- Walrus
- Ptarmigan
They're really pretty when fluffy.
and they could have black and white versions.
We have the Arctic, himalayas and antarctic to choose from. Not sure why a lot of us are being restricted to the Arctic. Also alpine tundra comes into consideration aswell which is decently represented under the taiga tag.

Yeah, I don't think there's much scenery that could be done for Tundra either. Don't want more Christmas stuff, we've already got a wood based set that also covers Scandanavia, and the ice/snow building set that covers your general Tundra. I guess they could do a Log Cabin build but that's probably a better place for it.
The other side of that is that aside from the Wolverine and Walrus, there aren't any real strong candidates for being the sales pitch for the pack, so I have a hard time imaging it being an animal pack.. I know I suggested the American Black Bear and the Arctic Hare but in all honesty I would consider them weaker inclusions. Although, the last few packs have been mixed as far as how I feel about the animals, so I could see the Tundra set being the same.
Tundra Animal Pack:
Mountain Hare (Arctic)
Pallas Cat (Himalayas)
Walrus (Arctic)
Musk Ox (Arctic)
Vicuna (Andes)
Yellow-billed Pintail (Andes, Tierra del Fuego, subantarctic islands)
Gentoo Penguin (Antarctica, subantarctic islands)
Kea (Southern Alps) [WE]
EDIT: Somehow forgot the wolverine, whoops. Either replace pretty much anything here or just put them in a taiga pack instead

I don't know why the tundra train is running now, but I think a temperate pack followed by a taiga/alpine pack are more likely than a tundra pack. In any case, a tundra pack with wolverine, walrus and muskox is an instant buy for me, even if they don't add anything else and follows the deluxe model.
Oh yes! I'm forgetting about the Muskox. I think that could also be a good sales point animal.
People associate tundra with arctic, because most of this biome is found there, taught in scholl and northern biome and such.
Similar thing is happening with mountain pack restricted to bald rocks even if animals from montane forests are as much requested if not more.
Animals I want most that live in polar tundra/ice: critically needed>still essential>very cool>maybe someday
- American Black Bear: I really want my bear and its many color phases, but I suspect it will come in a temperate pack or for an anniversary
- Bald Eagle (WE/aviary): iconic bird, and the main one needed for NA
- Snowy Owl (WE/aviary): Hedwig needs to show up if they ever add birds. Kind of tied with the bald eagle.
- Wolverine: highly requested animal that adds rep for many continents, and it could fit nicely in a tundra pack even though it's more of a taiga animal
- Sea Otter (no subspecies): This otter is unique enough to be very justifiable, kept in captivity, cute, and a staple of both ZT games.
- Musk Ox: iconic and popular caprine from the ice age
- Golden Eagle (WE/aviary): Covers much of the world
- Common Raven (WE/aviary): Covers a lot of regions
- Walrus: top ten animal, but I'm not sure about the whole tusks in captivity thing
- Pine Marten: Europe needs another critter besides the wolverine, but this would fit better as taiga
- Ribbon Seal: I really think a flashy arctic seal like the ribbon or harp would go nicely with our current pinnipeds and the walrus. Maybe a south hemisphere fur seal, too?
- Rockhopper Penguin: I really want this penguin
- Elk/Wapiti: I'm not sure they live in the tundra, but they're awesome
- Ptarmigan (WE/aviary): iconic arctic bird that changes colors with the seasons
- Arctic/Snowshoe Hare: rabbits are unique, but I'm not convinced they're worth the effort required right now. If they add them, one that changes colors would be great
- Adélie or some other brush tail penguin: Antarctica could have a penguin maybe?
- Coyote: For NA, I mainly want a canid that is native to Mexico. I don't want this in a tundra pack
- Eider, Tundra Goose, Tundra Swan: pick a waterfowl, but I generally prefer other options
- Canadian Lynx: would prefer a bobcat
- Markhor: Very iconic goat. Takins also exist, but my preferred golden is more temperate
- Spectacled Bear: very important and popular bear. I don't want to exclude this animal, but I'm not sure it's truly a tundra animal
- Pallas's Cat: meme animal and easy to make from the sand cat
- Yellow Throated Marten: very pretty
- Tahr: I like its fluffy mane, and they were introduced to New Zealand
- Yak: cool cow
- Wolverine
- Sea Otter
- Musk Ox
- Rockhopper Penguin
- Walrus
- Arctic/Snowshoe hare
- Pine Marten
- Snowy Owl (WE/aviary)
That's actually a really good line up and name, Polar Pack.
To point out the animal from the Alpine Tundra, I wish we could somehow have the Spectacled Bear work for a Tundra pack, but I think Taiga/Highlands is probably where it would need to fit, at least biome wise. It shouldn't fit under a Polar theme, since it's not at a pole. Though there could be enough confusion in associating "Polar" with "cold", versus what it actually means in a scientific sense.
Spectacled bear is primarly (montane) rainforest species.
Stay safe, manOh shoot I’m getting a tornado warning…
I thought its range bordered the Amazon but wasn't actually in the Amazon. This species is so confusing as to what it can be included in. Taiga/Mountains is obvious but beyond that there's all kinds of conflicting talk about it.
