Do you think we could get magical animals like unicorns? I believe Zoo Tycoon had two magical animals as easter eggs I think they had Unicorns and Mermaids. Maybe we can get a DLC when this comes out with fantasy decorations and like 6 new animals based off mythology (but more wild animals not like a minotaur or something)

Well for a start unicorns aren't mythical... Nor are they of this world.

But they're also not mere beasts either.

That's all most people can know.

Yes, they did have both in ZT! Mermaid was cool because you had to place the statue in a saltwater tank and she would blossom out of it :). However, as much as I love these suggestions, I don't think we'll see them added to the game. Frontier seems to be heading more in the direction of realism with things such as weather effects, audio cues, etc. I think recently extinct animals could still fit here but that's probably the farthest they'll go when it comes to "mythical" animals.

Edit: Just read the new Dev Journal. WOW! Animal behaviors will be incredibly complex compared to any other animals we've seen in a video game. With the severe lack of knowledge and understanding of extinct animal behaviors, I now highly doubt we will even see those in game.

I prefer not to have magical animals in the main game. However I would be ok with made up animals as long as they are not far-fetched or magical. It would be cool if one of your objectives was to breed a newly discovered type of bird or something like that.

I would love to see them as a later update to spice things up a bit for those that want to break realism. The game can still be realistic and have these animals as a dlc with some scenarios

Yeah, unicorn would be cool. ;p

Does anyone know what environment the unicorn (or any other fantasy animal) lives in?
What does it eat? Magic?

Can it live together with other animals?

To many questions, to little answers.
Please leave anything that does not exist out of the game (as far as I'm concerned)

Part of the fun would be developers using the mythology to decide these things. It would be an add on for sure rather than the base game, as it's something other than zoo but working off the same mechanics.

I'm not here to relegate others ideas so I'll leave it with this.

This is the exact reason why I would not like this into Planet Zoo.

True.

Planco contains dragons too.

But then, IRL it is not weird to see fiction in themeparks.

But it's different as dragons are animatronics and Ghostbusters are staff members. Therefore a real function. I would see this as the same sort of thing. An add on, down the line as a special feature for those that want it. Nothing more.

I'd rather see the developera put more effort into real animals. There are so many unique creatures that we will not see in the game. Why put the effort into unicorns when there are more worthier animals that actually exist?
