Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!: A Dresdenverse Bestiary
Deadmanwalking:
I do this thread in my spare time (which I have rather a lot of over summer break, I'm a student) specifically to have fun, and I have fun statting up almost anything. If I don't want to stat something (and I can't imagine why I wouldn't), I'll say so and probably apologize. Barring that, I'm always happy to recieve suggestions.
So, in other words, those'll be coming right up. :)
And I'll also be throwing in a Rattlesnake, because that seems needed.
CMEast:
For small creatures, how about swarms of wasps/hornets/bees, locust swarms, armies of ants and rat or spider swarms. I can see these being summoned up by spells or encountering them in abandoned city areas. Perhaps with different swarm sizes? Thanks DMW

Note: Do you know more hunters are killed every year by deer than anything else? And think about the fact that wolves only hunt deer as a pack. Deer are quite frightening, really. Well, if they don't flee or get shot, anyway. Bucks sometimes have Claws as well as the listed powers due to having antlers.

Hmmm. I'll have to consider how to build a swarm...but with Cassius's snae swarm as a baseline I should be able to manage something. Give me a bit of time and I'll whip something up.
EDIT: Oh, and for reference, the Raven entrry has been edited. I normally don't announce Edits when they're just skills the critter NEEDS being added or typo correction, but this is an actual change.
Ala Alba:
I'd like to suggest ferret/weasel/stoat and rabbit/hare, if you could.
