[Suggestion] Add Martens!

259 votes

The title says it all! Add the rather unknown marten to the game! Nature's most adorable assassins need more attention! These arboreal mustelids come in many varieties, but at least one of them being added to the game would make it much better!

Martens — like other mustelids — are adorable, curious, and playful critters that also happen to be among nature’s most ferocious predators.

*Martens are mustelids — a much-misunderstood but delightful group of animals that also includes wolverines, otters, pet ferrets, weasels, badgers, and more.

*Fisher martens — sometimes incorrectly called fisher cats, although they are not cats at all — are the only animal that routinely hunts porcupines.

*Yellow-throated martens often hunt in pairs or trios. They have been documented taking down monkeys, small deer, and even a nearly-adult panda.

*Some people in Russia and Eastern Europe keep Russian Sable martens as pets. The adorable and playful sables love climbing on their hoomans — and everything else — opening cabinets, jumping from bookshelf to bookshelf, and otherwise being awesome.

The yellow-throated marten, I will add, has been recorded as successfully hunting humans as well, despite their size.

if they cant imagine and produce what a rabbit actually sounds like running around and getting killed then I would be impressed if they got a Marten sounding right.

I would like to see more creature variants. More water creatures and flying creatures. How about bats in the cave as an alternative to worms, they hang on the ceiling and only attack when you start mining next to them (get leather and stringy meat). Turtles in the river with heavy protection, slow on land but fast in water (get shell for armor and soft meat)? Need a big fish creature like a Gar or Stingray that stay at the bottom of lakes, and at the bottom of lake put shells. Bird are the other missing item. Large flying birds like a raven, eagle, or even turkey. Feathers should be use to make beds better and arrows better.

They are adorable, but most if not all creatures we're planning to add in the future will be more alien in nature.
