Public wiki notes divide animals into insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, and fish; this page turns that into a routing checklist.
Run checklist
- Track category coverage separately from biome coverage.
- Do not assume one biome sweep completes a category; collection goals need repeatable scouting loops.
- For player notes, record animal name, biome, pressure, challenge, and whether the sighting was shiny.
- Use build pages to keep the run alive while the Bestiary fills naturally.
