[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1493689, member: 5777"] While I know what you mean, but there are some animals advancements that dont make any sense for a real world comparison, in the real world those animals just dont get that big. so the arguement could be made that those are actually a 'completely different species' that happens to look the same, thereby being the norm of its other species but being written in shorthand in order to save space. Sure it seems weird, and it is, and I agree that what you have said is by the rules as well, so no arguement there ;) but the arguement could definately be made, and as I cant think of any times it would be 'overpowered' I would be inclined to allow it. Especialy as I would rather someone picked a few animals they really liked and just became slightly better versions of them now and then, rather than adding a completely new list of animals every now and then, but that is merely a personal preference and has little bearing here ;) [/QUOTE]
