Let the festivities begin!
Just as a reminder, this poll will close on February 17th at 12:00PM (noon) on the forum server time, at which point the next poll will open! If you vote in all eight polls, you'll be awarded an event exclusive VSC of the resulting species! Clarification for the categories are as follows: Mammals: This includes placental mammals (such as us!), marsupials, and monotremes. I'll also include protomammals such as dimetrodon and gorgonopsids and whatnot. Avians: This includes birds (both flighted and non) and dinosaurs. Reptiles: Includes snakes, lizards, turtles, tuataras, crocodilians, and dragons. Amphibians: Includes frogs, salamanders, caecilians, and all those weird freaky devonian amphibians. Fish: Includes bony fish, sharks, rays, and lobe finned fishes. Invertebrates: Includes insects, arthropods, annelids, flatworms, crustaceans, cephalopods, molluscs, isopods, myriapoda, etc. As an enthusiast of these sorts of animals, it physically pains me to have to jam them all into one category like this. It's like implying you can drive a toaster to work because they're both nonliving objects made of metal and plastic that produce heat. But here we are. Plants: Includes plants and fungi, though they'll likely end up jammed together with some sort of animal in some way so you can teach them tricks. I'm also willing to extend this to slime molds. Robots: Anything made of artificial materials in the mimicry of natural life. You know, robots. Esoterics: The catch-all "other" category. Things completely alien to earthlike body plans. Things made of magic or stardust or weird goop you found under a dumpster that doesn't really look like any particular thing.

*looks at options* Hmm.. *clicks Esoterics*
I don't think we got enough alien creatures, really alien creatures. XD
The Drej, Gheanalt, and especially the Karashak are the closest thing to it I think.

Silver Frogs are lovely creatures! Little lumpy babies. :3 @twilight Yesss those were the ones I had in mind for existing esoteric species! I'm also considering things like the corpse constructs (not really a specific animal so much as a rotting heap of lots of them), the Beast of Fools, shijin, shadow lurkers, etc. in that category. Just... general weird stuff. XD

I say ghosts. Or some kind of creature that has a tie to ghosts/the dead/what have you because actual ghosts aren't like... living creatures.
Swamp witch but in creature form who can do that thing that some dogs and cats can do to like... sense when someone's about to croak.

I'm going to vote amphibian, but if I have a second choice; Sev's idea of ghosts/esoterics.

I voted for mammals because I have a soft spot for them (and there are a ton that haven't been done yet) BUT I do think that something Esoteric might be cool depending on how it is pulled off. (Also, I wouldn't mind seeing something galaxy themed myself- and otherwise swamp witches are my JAM!)

We don’t have any cat-like creatures, so I’m thinking Mammal. Jk, I voted Esoteric cuz a magick or galaxy themed creature sounds awesome.

Ashe Ghosts would be esoteric, though don't expect it to be a "cat ghost" or a "dog ghost"- esoteric is kinda meant to imply something beyond earthly biology, so whatever results come from it, its gonna be weird!
