Great list of wants. To be honest, when I saw the thread I didn't realize your member name was Biological Horror, I thought it was a wishlist about biological horrors which piqued my interest greatly. Nonetheless, a great list even if it wasn't what I thought it was going to be.

Ha ha sorry for the confusion!

Updated my WL to move my non-animal in game wants into the same post. I added them in spoilers so it's not a giant wall of text. I also included a few more wants and animals.

Updated WL to check off Mute Swan <3
