CROSS-CONTENT DISCUSSION: Creatures

[Risewild]

Yeah, we don't want another Cane Toad or Rabbit incident like in Australia

I think coyotes should be moved to DC, personally. They live there in real life, and even wander into downtown sometimes. I mean, part of TTW is integrating vegas stuff into DC, right?

There are a few creatures that we can move over, just not many and its low priority

Do you even East coast? Are you sure you're living in MD/VA?

We have too many deer. There aren't any apex predators like coyote about.

Do I even east coast? Indeed. Kentucky born and raised, and spent many years living in Virginia and North Carolina. They are native to the DC region, just check out Rock Creek parks website...

...and the Wikipedia article about eastern coyotes.

You might not see them very often, but they are around, and can become a nuisance for farmers. They steal goats and chickens from local farms all of the time.

After reviewing the animals the only thing I feel would help out is just balancing the variety between the two wastelands. The animals that fit both are already in both for the most part, the insects could include increases just because they are insects (my meaning being they are everywhere in large quantities and varieties, 'gods favorite animal') and the mantis could easily fit into the DC, with the color changes as noted. I noticed that there were greater varieties of the same types of animals in NV compared to DC. 

Details:                                                                                                                                                                        -No Fire ants in Vegas, I thought they should be a Grayditch Exlusive do to the scientists experiments. Unless 

-Geckos could be okay in DC as well, keep in mind pet owners, the crested gecko is very popular and it does somewhat resemble the geckos in NV.

-Mirelurk in NV could also work, perhaps as a replacement to the Lakelurk. If Nuka-Cola is integrated into NV perhaps one could also include the NukaLurk. This would seem to have no good effect with a decent amount of work and not optimal IMHO.

-I like coyotes in both, it is a good idea

- I actually think that Yao Guai don't really fit NV unless they are only found in some areas, perhaps they already are but they should be located in areas that includes mountainous areas and foothills of Lake Tahoe, the sierra Nevada mountains and nearby mountain ranges in extreme western Nevada, as this is where they are normally found.

-Increased variety of Deathclaws in DC based on Deathclaws in NV

-No nightkin in DC, I know many agree but just wanted to put my vote out there.

-Water Brahmin in DC

-Add rats to DC, color changed to fit, however only to be found in the DC ruins not anywhere else.

-Bark scorpions in DC make most sense as they appear most like the only species found in Virginia (http://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=Southern-Devil-Scorpion), whereas NV would be home to a much greater variety simply due to the large number of varieties found in the Nevada, California region.

-Molerats/Rats locations, I feel molerats should be found outside urban areas and rats inside urban areas

-How long has Gary been cloned, could any of the Gary's be found in NV, just for fun I tossed this in.

What are thoughts on this, I would be happy to discuss in order to assist the process in becoming finalized as to what makes best sense. Cheers!
