DLC 19 Speculation

I'd say that the tegu is the best bet for a reptile. For 1, we got the big 3 tortoises typically seen in several zoos, crocs would feel like a waste (unless it was African, but them again this DLC seems to be centered around the Americas), and monitors fall under the same boat as crocs (the perentie is the only one I'm personally interested in)

I highly doubt we'll get a 3rd caiman, especially after receiving the spectacled caiman
I know they have their detractors cos thet aren't really in captivity, but as someone who doesn't particularly mind that: marine iguanas! Just such great potential for some cool looking habitats!
 
If anyone wants I've created a tierlist maker of how you would rank all the different animal options we've talked about - just to save some people time from typing :)
(Let me know if I forgot anyone)
Thanks for creating this!
By the way, I'm not sure, but maybe a sea otter would still fit in with the theme?

I guess I'm too optimistic but most animals in this tierlist would be so cool.

As cool as the burrowing owl would be I don't see how Frontier could add them as "regular flightless birds" such as the crane or swan without them feeling super unnatural. I only see them working as flying animals hence they have their own lil tier, they'd be an incredibly cool species though. The rest of bird species I'm cool with as just seeing like ground-dwellers, the spoonbill and ibis are a bit lower because I'll forever think they would feel a bit unnatural without flight being taken under account (I guess you can say the same for every species of flying bird in the game but oh well, I have my motives I guess).
 
So how would you all round out the deer roster then? Within reason ofcourse.

While im personally not really dying for more i can agree that there objectively should be more than we have now.
I think 2-3 could bring them up to a good spot. One for NA like the elk and reeves muntjac together with a more classical deer for asia would round them up pretty nicely. I think id go with the sambar due to their huge range and to vary the deer up with a tropical species
I would love a southern pudu and Pere's David deer. A muntjac, sambar, or Chital would be fantastic, too. So, 2 or 3 from this list would be perfect.

About the other options that are frequently mentioned, a Wapiti would be all right, but not too exciting. Roe deer and white tailed deer, I would say both would feel rather boring for me.
 
Is this going to be the last DLC for the game? If so, I'd add a DLC called World's Fauna DLC.
This DLC would consist of 15 animals from the five continents, I'm not including Antarctica.

This would be my list of animals I'd like to see.

  1. Ethiopian Wolf (EN) -- [Africa]
  2. Giant Eland (VU) -- [Africa]
  3. Grèvy's Zebra (EN) -- [Africa]
  4. Black-footed Ferret (EN) or Alligator Snapping Turtle (EN) -- [America]
  5. Patagonian Mara (NT) -- [America]
  6. Ocellated Turkey (NT) -- [America]
  7. Lion-tailed Macaque (EN) -- [Asia]
  8. Blue-spotted Tree Monitor (EN) -- [Asia]
  9. Banteng (CR) -- [Asia]
  10. Muskox (LC) -- [Europe]
  11. King Eider (LC) -- [Europe]
  12. Alpine Marmot (LC) -- [Europe]
  13. Southern Elephant Seal (LC) -- [Oceania]
  14. Matschie’s Tree-kangaroo (EN) -- [Oceania]
  15. Kakapo (CR) -- [Oceania]
 
What if the saki is a condor or something, and the theme is American deserts? That would make all of the picks outstanding. I suppose the remaining ones would be the mara and either a tegu or roadrunner. Edit: I forgot the white nosed coati.

Otherwise, I'm feeling other things for the slots, but the mara is pretty popular and a great candidate for inclusion at some point, whether or not it comes with this pack. I hope you get it!
Naming-wise, if this is called "American deserts" pack, the combination of continent + biome would open a big potencial for new DLCs: African jungles, Asian wetlands, American mountains...

(This is also a bit of hopium for me looking for a way to change the current DLC model so they bring back exhibits)

I swear I don’t hate reptiles! I just prioritise more dynamic species.

The “Good” and “Eh Okay” tiers are hazy and shift around every time I look at it.

Honestly, as long as we get coati, I’ll be happy for the other to be anything that isn’t on the “No. Too similar to in-game” tier.
