Hi, Esh!
Not a bother at all
. I tend to do more work on a project when interest is shown in it, so I like it when PC's go "Hey, what's this about?" I do have concepts for the animals listed and I have a rough idea of what kind of animals you will not find in Eyktol. However, I welcome input! If you have an animal idea for my beloved sandbox, then please let me know so we can canonize it in the wiki.
I will start working on sketches of the animals, soonish. As for your searching thread, sure, I'll mod that. Go ahead and start a thread and I'll jump in. I prefer you start the thread so I get a feel for what kind of experience you're aiming for, as a searching is a defining moment for most Chaktawe.
So glad to have you. PM me if you have any questions or grab me in chat.
