05-10-05, 10:56 PM I have leafed through several pages of the Monsters section, but couln't find it: a compendium of player-created ANIMALS.

It struck me that in the Monster Manuals the percentage of animal-type monsters is rather small compared to their unnatural counterparts. Of course we are talking about a fantasy-setting, but still, shouldn't quite a large amount of the non-sentient population be of natural birth?
I think that DM's but also druids and rangers would benefit greatly from usable statistics on a wider variety of animals.

Do you want to share your self-created animal statistics or do you know of an already existing Bestiarium, please share in this thread!

(As I am not at home at the moment I haven't got the stats of my animals with me. I'll post them asap.)
