    So we need rats and we need bats, but another animal I'd like to see that isn't in classic Ultima, though is in other RPGs, is the wild boar.

    As Wikipedia states,
    They would also have a kind of behavior that we currently don't see among other animals in the game: charging attacks, and also in groups, charging in stampedes.

    They're also good swamp denizens.

    As well as forest denizens.

    As well as classic game animals.

    And besides, we need them for Novian heraldry, too. We can't have them on our shields if they don't exist in the game!

    Actually, I didn't remember this -- we did have boars in Serpent Isle,

    And of course, the Blue Boar Tavern in Britain, and orcs were supposed to have been made with wild boars, though no boars wandering around in Britannia wilds.

    Yes to boars! They have pigs so can share the same 'pig carcass' loot and mechanics, but just tougher to kill etc.

    I tire of this boaring business! Let's make it so! ;) I like the mongbat suggestion in another thread too--used to have so much fun killing those little goobers outside of Haven--until I found the Ettins...:rolleyes:

    Let others chase the timid deer
    O'er field or level moor,
    We've a braver sport, and a nobler here,
    To chase the mighty boar.
    Through forest dark, and tangled wood,
    Where mountain torrents flow,
    With hearts by danger ne'er subdued,
    O! merrily we go!--
    Hark! Hark!
    How he roars, as he springs from his lair so dark!
    Hark! Hark!
    He bounds! he bounds! in his fury borne
    Through glens and dingles green,
    Where nought is heard but the hunter's horn,
    Where none save we have been!
    And lo! as he springs through copse and brake.
    Our well-aimed arrows fly,
    He falls! he falls! and the wild woods shake,
    As he roars in his agony.
    Hark! Hark!
    The shaft has arrived at its destined mark!
    Hark! Hark!
