Highlands Ultimate Meta Wishlist

[CharlieXGaming]

I feel like with us having a highlands speculation thread (basically the winter speculation lol), dreams and nightmares, highlands hot takes, it only makes sense to have a highlands meta wishlist.

There are a lot of choices. I'd want at least 4 animals to be taiga/tundra mountains, and then the rest a mix of whatever. So:

1. Golden takin
2. Wolverine
3. Markhor
4. Gelada baboon
5. Common pheasant
6. Auodad
7. Spectacled bear
8. Japanese giant salamander (E)

 

[SuzieSky]

I'm not sure how I should respond to this.
My top wanted mountain animals, what I'd put into a mountain pack, and the top requested mountain animals are all very different things.

Why not use the dream lists in the dream and nightmare threah were everyone already submitted their lists

I asked there but no one responded, so I didn’t know if I should.

 

[Captain Callum]

Yeah the dream nightmare thread is the best way to gauge the most wanted animals, like I'll quote mine:

• Mountain Goat
• Bighorn Sheep
• Rocky Mountain Elk
• American Black Bear
• Canada Lynx
• American Pika
• Golden Takin
• Mangshan Pit Viper (exhibit)

 

[CharlieXGaming]

Yeah I’ll use the dream and nightmares thread, I did originally plan that but was unsure because some people only listed a couple animals.

 

[CharlieXGaming]

This may be harder than I thought might need a day or two to transfer all the wishes lol

 

[Baryonix82]

These are my choices

1. Spectacled Bear (VU)
2. Markhor (NT)
3. Ethiopian Wolf (EN) --- It is one of the world's rarest canids, and Africa's most endangered carnivore. It is estimated that the number of mature specimens is 197
4. Bighorn Sheep (LC)
5. Wolverine (VU) in Europe
6. Yellow-throated Marten (LC)
7. Andean Mountain Cat (EN) --- It is considered the most endangered feline in America and one of the most unknown in the world. There are less than 1,500 specimens of the Andean cat left in the world
8. Chinese Giant Salamander (CR) [Exhibit]

 

[synthetase]

• Ethiopian Wolf

• Hamadryas Baboon
• Himalayan Monal

Tibetan Antelope

So glad I see someone mention these in their list. Forget the elk, this is the only antelope I would like to see in a mountains pack, a very welcome oddball. Never seen em, never heard of them since last week reading someone else’s comment, but gosh they’re so beautiful

Chiru are a very unique goat. (I was also surprised to learn they're caprines.) Even though they are uncommon in zoos, they are so pretty that I wouldn't mind them.

2) Speculated Bear
