Well, people are naming quite a lot of hostile creatures...
But what I, personally, loved about Oblivion was strolling through the forest and happening upon a hunter or bandit chasing after deer, and possibly falling off a cliff in the process. So.. I would suggest:
Gazelle : As I'm not a modder, I'm not sure how easily this could be done, but I would think you'd just need to put a new skin on a deer?
Hyena : Skin on a wolf. Perhaps a bit bulkier in the front, if you can do that.
Warthog : Just use a boar with a different name.
Meerkat: I don't remember if there are any tiny creatures in Oblivion.. but, if not, you could re-skin a scamp, reduce the size, and call it a meerkat.
(And, an Easter Egg. Non-Hostile Meerkat and Warthog named Timone and Pumba.)
Now for animals that would probably be a good deal harder to make, but I'm just puttin' 'em out there.
Hippos: Quite hard to do, I would assume.. but... maybe making -a lot- of modifications to a bear or a boar?
Rhinocerous: Same for that Hippo.
Giraffe: No idea, folks.
Now, I also have a comment on these Mummies people keep suggesting. No where does it state that the Khajit preserve their dead like this. -In fact-, I thought I read somewhere, on this forum, that they left they burried their dead in cairns in the sands and were actually very relaxed about burial rituals. Mummies don't seem to make sense. However, the deserts supposedly preserve these corpses, and they're sold in Senchal. Could not an enterprising Necromancer raise an army of the dead, via this bounty of bodies? Tomb Kings of Khemri style, minus the pharoahs.
