What Animal Would you most like to see added and why?

[xXx_Ape_xXx]

Birds! Flappy little birbs floofing about, twirping in the trees, waddling around water features and giving life to the vast forests 

Because birds!

Crows with a scarecrow block would be nice

[TemplarGreen]

It is my belief that the game lacketh in aquaticke creatures- hence, I believe that some form of large creature (perhaps a whale, shark, or giant squid) that could be hostile would be a fine addition

[wildforester]

Rust squids

[TamTroll]

Something small that can be domesticated. maybe a small breed of dog or bird who can warn you of nearby dangers without entering combat itself... Maybe a Crow or other Corvid? They've been known to team up with other animals for mutual benefit.

Birds or horses mainly are the big ones I want added. Birds would add so much to ambiance and hunting potential, horses just for travel convenance.

[VictorShadow]

Otters, weasels or minks.

Otters because they're cute and having an extra water mob/creature might make the devs consider rivers or a better ocean/land set up a higher priority in development.

Weasels or minks because they could be a possible pet/dog alternative that would stand out compared to the other block game.

In keeping with the vaguely medieval/renaissance feel and technology of the game, I would like to suggest a few sea mammals (in addition of course to more fish and perhaps crustaceans and mollusks).

In particular, whales and seals were economically important as sources of oil, meat and skin. 

It's probably too much to hope for a Moby Dick experience for multiplayer servers, crews of seraphs pulling oars and hurling harpoons at enormous Physeters, but the industrial processes for butchering, rendering and otherwise processing even a small whale would seem to be a natural fit with the current game.

[Raelyn]

Ducks or cows

[Thorfinn]

Ooh, I like the birds thing. Would be great if you had to grab a scrub brush and clean up all those amazing chiseled blocks a few time a month.

Or maybe not...

[fluffydragon]

SHELLFISH! i want to eat the clams.

Holy cow the amount of people saying "yet another predator" blow my mind...

I want some form of cow - aurochs, bison, oxen, etc - and some sort of cart-pulling animal like a donkey. I'd love to see a wheeled wagon, maybe it would only work on path or compressed dirt so it doesn't devalue the elk but it would feel great to go with a sledge or cart to go logging or mining.

I want to expand on this by saying we should also be able use them to till large fields with ox drawn ploughs, or to have them turn mechanical machinery. 

Working animals would both just give us more options for stuff to do and ways to do it, but also give us something to spend excess grain on (hard working animals gotta eat big to be big). If you farm as much flax as i do you probably have a couple urns filled to the brim with flax grain, and id willingly trade it to put some big animals to work

Birds of prey, for the Falconry potential. I think Falconry would fit well with the other systems in the game.

Also Hamsters, because they're awesome

This is probably not anything near what you meant but your post made me think of it. 

If we had some kind of bird that we could send out once a day to scout for something in particular we need, maybe we need some copper for example. The bird will go out and come back, marking your map with the location it found of some surface copper deposits, or coal or clay etc. Something to help us not be wandering around spending over half the day to come back with nothing or venturing too far and getting stuck outside after dark, too scared to move because you can't see and can't make the 10 minute run back to your gear in the dark if the worst happens. 

Maybe I'm still too early game but I feel like venturing out too far from home is a disaster waiting to happen since spawn can't easily be moved (temporal gears are rare for us to find) and I am very much a nomad in survival games so this is kinda hurting me having to stay so close to home all in fear of losing my very very hard earned gear

Well a multi-role bird is fine by me : ]

More invertebrates!

Snails and worms on the ground, shellfish and octopus to be caught in the water, cicada colonies covering trees in the summer! There are already plenty of butterflies and crickets, but more of these little ambient critters would be lovely and possible unorthodox food-sources.

Birds of prey would be cool as well– although dangerous for my chicken coop.
Maybe you could occasionally find a wounded hawk or owl and nurse it back to health as a companion(or harvest the poultry a-la circle of life)

Eel were a major source of food in certain parts of the world (still are?) and hung out near water wheels and the sort.  Might be interesting
