The discussion about reskins, better described as low effort animals to make, pops up here and there quite alot, so i thought, why not make an own, dedicated thread for it?
Starting out, we have the eurasian brown bear. Its the nominal form of the brown bear and quite common in zoos. Should be easily made from a shrunk down grizzly and add both to the asian and european animal count.
Secound, we have the asian water monitor. They look quite similar to the nile monitor and would bring us not only one of the largest monitors, but also asias most common one.
One animal i only see rarly discussed, despite being a perfect candidate is the humboldt penguin. Equally as common in captivity as the african, these southamerican divers would be great to show of the rocky shores of souther southamerica.
We all agree we need more monkeys, and one very common in captivity is not only closly related to our capuchin, but also looks very visually distinct through only minimal changes.
Im talking about the tufted capuchin, whose brown color and funny hair makes them stand out amongst all other capuchins.
But thats not as close to a true color swap like the black abd white ruffed lemure. I dont know why, but they seem to be very popular, so it felt wrong to leave them out.
My personal most wanted animal on this list is the south american tapir. Some people might say we dont need a third tapir, but i beg to differ, as all three tapirs would look quite distinct from each other, even with only the colors changed.
Similar to the brownbear ot would actually need a bit of changing, but the way we know frontiee, a new grey skin also seems like a "viable" alternative. #moreTapirsButPlsFrontierByTheLoveOfGodChangeTheMalayanTapirThankYou
The Grevys Zebra is the largest living wild equine, living in the more mountainous regions of north east africa, an actually underrepresented biome.
+ they actually do look quite different to the regular zebra, for example the stripeless belly, thinner stripes and thouse cute brown and white spots on the nose!
My secound favorite animal on the list is the european bison, or wisent, a legendary conservation success and one of the largest european animals.
While i dont find it hard to see the difference between them and the american bison, its not a doubt that it would be a great base to create this one of. I would love to see it in the game, especally as we really need more bovine in general.
But this is not the last bovine on my list, as i want to cap it of with an animal build from the other bovine in the game, the black buffalo. Im talking about it more common in captivity and way more docile tropical relative, the african forest buffalo, also known as red buffalo. I love these guys and would love to see them in the game, especally as they are great for mixed habitats with for example mandrills. Overall great creatures.
But what do you think? Would you mind more "reskins" in the game? If yes, which one do you prefer, want to add and how do you belive they could be added?
Hopefully this will focus the discussion into one place, instead of being everywhere a little like right now.
