I can’t figure out why I want this animal. We already have a wallaby, we just got a marsupial, but somehow this is one of my favourites.
Winter 2023 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
Well they’re entirely different in niche from the wallabies we have (if the red-necked wallaby is a deer, the rock-wallaby is a caprine, plus they live in different climates), and they’re super pretty to boot! Definitely one of my most wanted animals, especially given how many of them there are in my local zoos*.
*my state is home to the vast majority of the wild population and so the zoos here have been instrumental in its recovery from historic hunting and invasive species. Adelaide Zoo has them mixed with red kangaroos and western greys while Cleland Wildlife Park and Monarto Safari Park both have big rocky walkthrough habitats for them.
Rock-wallaby is an underrated pick. Not sure if we'd get it just after quokka but certainly not impossible.
Here is a challenge, make a mountain animal pack but every habitat animal has to be from a different continent (with one repeat of your choice, since Antarctica isn't really doable) Here's mine:
01. Barbary Sheep (Africa)
02. Alpine Marmot (Europe)
03. Hamadryas Baboon (Africa)
04. Spectacled Bear (South America)
05. Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby (Australia)
06. Wapiti (North America)
07. Himalayan Monal (Asia)

Dang this is hard. Alright:
- Markhor (Asia)
- Spectacled Bear (SA)
- Gelada (Africa)
- Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby (Australia)
- Wapiti (NA)
- Wolverine (Europe)
- Chamois (why not)
Mine’s pretty similar, but with different species for the Americas (plus the gelada instead of a baboon):
- Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby (Australia)
- Alpine Marmot (Europe)
- Gelada (Africa)
- Ringtail (North America)
- Aoudad (Africa)
- Lesser Rhea (South America)
- Himalayan Monal (Asia)
. Spectacled Bear (SA)
. Bighorn Sheep (NA)
. Takin (Asia)
. Yellow-throated Marten (EU)
. Hamadryas Baboon (Africa)
. YFRW (Oceania)
. Markhor (Asia repeat)
Yellow-throated martens occur only in Asia. The beech marten is a good alternative for a European marten though (also occur in Asia, including the Himalayas).
Oops my bad. I just though ‘yeah, a marten’ and didn’t think which one I was using lol
1. Spectacled bear (SA)
2. Rocky mountain goat (NA)
3. Markhor (AS)
4. Sichuan takin (AS)
5. Gelada (AF)
6. Yellow footed rock wallaby (AU)
7. Idk Wolverine or Alpine marmot just for the sake of not another ungulates lol do cappercaillie live in mountains?
- Europe: Wolverine
- North America: Bighorn Sheep
- Africa: Hamadryas Baboon
- South America: Spectacled Bear
- Asia: Markhor
- Oceania: Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
- South America (repeat): Darwin's Rhea
They do and in some places, like in my country, they exclusively live in mountains
Ok then i choose them for Europe
@CharlieXGaming just out of curiosity with all the hype drawn in surrounding the highlands pack in this thread what if the next pack isn’t a highlands pack? I ask this because during the life of PZ I don’t think I’ve ever successfully predicted a single dlc right. Every time I suspected one thing it turned out to be totally different. Of course there were packs we all knew were coming but never actually when I expected them. I like the idea of a highlands pack as none of the animal choices are particularly bad but you might be setting yourself up for disappointment. But I do see us getting a highlands pack but I think it will be a mountains pack or taiga for the name personally.
Oh I know, the chances of getting a highlands pack (or mountains based) are like 50%, but the chances of getting the exact roster I've been set on is unlikely. I do however think that my roster is the same amount of work as the Grasslands Animal Pack. 2 unique rigs, 2 that would be based off rigs but a bit more work, and the remaining 3 are direct clones.
//////bit of work////////direct clone//////////new rig/////////////bit of work//////////exhibit////////////////direct clone/////////direct clone/////////new rig////////
It could be something totally different though, Latin America, India, Asia in general, etc. I'm just sticking to one consecutive roster to hopefully push frontier in the right direction. I know its unlikely but they do read these forums, so the best chance at making a mark in the roster is to keep the same roster throughout, and maybe at the 0.0001% chance they take it into account- but probably not since they've probably already had this in the works for a few months.

Well i'll be fine with a Mountains or taiga pack and i'm expecting it, but honestly i would love if they really give us the Latín America pack instead. A full year of warm climate packs and next year would compensate.
Syrian hamsters are another example. They're extremely common pets, but they're endangered and so difficult to find that they were thought to be extinct in the wild during the 90s.
Dream:
Pallas cat
Markhor
Golden takin
Silver pheasant
Gelada
Hyrax
Spectacled bear
Exhibit: WE with Kea parrot
Realistic:
Wolverine
Rocky Mountain goat
Markhor
Takin
Pallas cat
Spectacled bear
Alpine marmot
Exhibit: Himalayan pit viper
...honestly, I wouldn't be sad at either, but I'm hoping for a bird and the hyrax.
Why would the wolverine need a new rig? They'd just use the badger as a base.
Might be because I keep voicing my disgust over the thought of the Wolverine using the badger rig
Why though? The rig is just the framework. Why make a brand new one for an animal of a very similar shape to the badger?Might be because I keep voicing my disgust over the thought of the Wolverine using the badger rig
