WiP edit by Ibsen's Ghost - January 2010

I'm commandeering this post to get a better, more comprehensive view of the creatures currently planned for inclusion. I will amend this list as we progress:
- Durzog (mr_siika).
- A Mudslaughterfish (old BM team).
- Giant Spiders & Guar inc. a rideable Guar (Grimdeath's Lore Creatures).
- A Tarantula (malo and Elveon's 'Spider Creature').
- Spider Spriggan, Thorn Elemental and Swamp Stalker (Phitt's 'Loreless Creatures').
- Skaven (argentsol).
- The Kwama (TheModaxJago).
- A selection, possibly including crocodile, black caiman, rhino and a shark (Waalx Animals and Creatures) - might also include some of the 'fun' ones like the ferret, chipmunk and pheasant.
- Great White Spider (Dozent) - http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/oo346...spider.jpg
- Various Horror Creatures (CGChaos and Infiniti) - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22925
- VAcuity's Spirits and Ephemerals (especially 'The Higgs') - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28186
- More Argonian and Khajiit undead - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26634
- Mushroom Creatures: the Shrieking Bolete - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26758 and the Mushroom-Man (or Myconid): http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26889 .
- Wogs - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12504
- Werewolves (maybe) - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28949
Lore-based Creatures from this thread: "Lore-Correct" Flora & Fauna of Blackmarsh .
- Were-lions & Marsh Cats - Black Panther, Leopard, Marsh Leopard & (possibly) Swamp Golem (Senten).
- Were-croc - see Grimdeath's Lore Creatures above.
- Jellyfish, Centipede and Mosquito (Koniption).
- Ravens and Vultures aka 'Hackwings' (mr_siika) - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=23523
- Trodh - soemthing appropriate from the 'AliveWaters' mod by windsurfer - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6914
- Voriplasm (using Midas - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9562 - this may include the swamp creature from the Beholden temple and/or the creature from the 'summon jelly' spell)
- Fleshflies (using Midas swarm spell - see above)
- Wamasus - may involve using Drake's Dragon Wings (instead of as Sarpa) or an upscaled version of the Draconian race.
- Swamp Leviathan - similar to rootworms but even bigger...? A possibility is in using the giant slaughterfish inside Fathis Aren's tower or this mod looks like it might have an even bigger one: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19474 .
- Tree-Dwelling lizards - lizard-like rats with wings? Possibly use argentsol's Skaven - see above (although they don't have wings, of course) or fix the snake clothing from this mod to a creature: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25908 .
- Feather Serpent - elongated model of the rats with wings but with feathered wings?
- Wombat - not a clue....
- Waalx' WAC mod - http://waalx.com/RealSwordsForum/index.php NB: As the use of this mod presently requires that BM is dependent on it, this is not currently planned for inclusion. However, things change...
Edit -
And, of course, the hostile humanoids:
- TheModaxJago's 'Sarpa' (and possibly Sarpa MKII - Drake's Dragon Wings Resource).
- The Lilmothlit (Ferimen's Vexend Race).
- Naga (the Tsaesci from the 'Akavir' project were last mentioned here: New Race Selection or what Tlo1048 suggested - New Race Selection . Where can I get any of these now, do you think? I'll need to contact Waalx. Anyone know where to catch him?)
- Lizardmen (Ziuli race from ShadowLance 194's '10 New Races').
- Barsaebic Ayleids (A modified Fantasma race from Rinnegatamante's Race Pack - although personally I think we could 'sex things up a bit with the Chocolate Elves: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18247 . It might not fit with lore but you'd want to visit the Ayleid ruins again .)
- Burly Ape-race (the Dune race mod)?
The following link, however, is a more complete rundown of the proposed races of Black Marsh: New Race Selection .
And this post offers a few ideas for ridable mounts, besides those in Grimdeath's lore creatures (above): Ships and Docks but there's plenty more:Personal Pack Guars, Daedroth Mount, Bear Mount, Bonehorror Mount, Mammoth Mount, Slaughterfish Mount & Maverick the Sinister (there's an auroran mount from the same guy).
In addition to this, please check some of lutemoth's awesome concept art here: http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=141628 .
And keep track of LR's more recent developments here: Llama#s Weird and Wonderful Creatures .

Didn't really know where else to put this. We need to finalise our list of new creatures to be included in Black Marsh. What I have so far is:
Mr Siika's Durzog
Modax Jago's Sarpa
Modax Jago's Kwama
The Swamp Stalker (from loreless creatures pack)
Flesh Golems (from lore creatures pack - perfect for all those dungeons containing rogue Argonian voodoo sects)
Marsh Elves (high elf model using the Gloom Wraith dark green transparency)
Spectral Argonians (regular argonians using the ghost transparency/glowing effect)
Paatru (model already made, by llamaranger I believe?)
There was also a "mosasaur" made by a long-gone member of the team, but I don't remember it ever being animated
