I have a plague dog/isle of dog esque story, but I don't know where to put the characters. Usually, they'd go in characters, but a better way to describe them would be in creatures. Yet, I use creatures for breeds and species of animals, not animal characters, so I'm stumped.
I suppose I could customize character fields to be more animal-based as well, but idk
Maybe, if you can, put these animal characters in a new universe. This way you can put them wherever and they can still be separate.
I don’t know if this is how you organize your stuff, or if this doesn’t work for you at all, but I hope this helps, or at least inspires, you, even a little.
I Eventually just add a new "Looks" category of animal characters
‘Thumbs-up’.
Also, I completely forgot to mention. I actually have a ‘scale color’ part in the characters. That could also be something to think about. Stuff like fur/scale color or maybe texture.
Just rambling and throwing ideas out at this point. Don’t mind me.
