Title: More goblinish and dwarvish pets from vanilla
Post by: DerMeister on September 05, 2019, 08:45:32 am: I want not add new creatures, but some change vanilla by adding tokens. Common domestic are for humans, dwarves need their own set of pets. Goblins also need more minions.

So, have any ideas about?

Also if you're comfortable with sentient livestock, you could go the Masterwork route and have dwarves harvest plump helmet men.

Only elk birds? I need more, also analogues of cat and dog. Maybe, creatures for milking and shearing.

I comfortable with sentient lifestock in goblin fortress, dwarves have another ethics.

Goblins might have hyenas as canine variants.

Maybe to pets:
armadillo, badger, bobcat, bonobo, capybara, chinchilla, giant chinchilla, coati, coyote, deer...
