I (Forten) am the same dude as the other dude who wrote Oxen, Birds, and Horses. If he disagrees, he can say so. XD. I'm re-doing it because I have extra content and I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to edit posts. Someone please help.

A quick look on several wikis yielded information on the existance of several Middle-Earth animals: the Kine of Araw, Kirinki, Mearas, and Badger-Folk.

The Kineof Araw were white oxen with massive horns that lived near the Sea of Rhun. I think their horns could be crafted with silver into a Horn of Gondor (on a gondorian CT). The multi-use horn would either temporarily make enemies run away and halt Balrogs, or summon a few gondor soldiers. It would be assigned to an owner and break when the owner dies. Repairable with more horn.

The Kirinki were a small, red species of bird to be found on numenor. They had very high voices and might still live on Meneltarma.

Mearas were wild horses superior to in speed, life-span (health), strength, and intelligence. They lived in the north of ME. Players might take severe damage each time they fail to tame them. They would also be extremely hard to tame, rare to spawn, and slightly bigger than normal horses. They are described as being as superior to normal horses as Elves are to Men, including most horses of the Rohirrim. They would probably not talk but still have names that cannot be changed, such as: Felarof, Shadow, Flaxenmane, and Thunderhoof (someone please think of better ones :)

The Badger-Folk lived in the Old Forest next to the Shire. They would be able to talk and have names like: Brock, Trufflehunter, Hardbiter, Snufflesnout, and Honeyhead. A a small, dirt burrow-structure would spawn rarely in the Old Forest with a few of the Badger-Folk inside. Outside of the Old Forest, in Eriador, normal badgers would spawn rarely, that cannot talk and do not have names. All badgers would retaliate violently to being hurt by the player, like boars. All badgers would occasionally attack sheep and chickens and drop a badger-pelt item, able to be crafted into a hood. The Badger-Folk would be part of the new Old Forest faction, with dark huorns. Alignment would be gained with this faction by completing Badger-Folk miniquests, or possibly killing any foe holding an axe. A new water-lily or the current lily should spawn with reeds in small pools scattered throughout the Old-Forest. Lastly, a willow tree and a willow-huorn for the Old Forest would be really nice.

Hope you like it.
