ok, but break dewbacks down. Creatures with dew on their backs, that doens't really work. They may have tusks, but it's not always like that.

Actually dewbacks got their name b/c I think moisture sticks to their skin so that a way they can get water.

Nabooan Tusk-cat
this feline predator is native to the planet Naboo, where it hunts the plains for small creatures. Despite their fearsome reputation as hunters, the tusk-cats can be domesticated and used as herding animals.

Almost all of the moisture on Tatooine is found in the sand, not in the air. So unless they roll around in the sand, they wouldn't have moisture on their back.

Anyways, i wonder what else they have on naboo. And Kashyyyk, do you think they will have katarns?

I wonder if these critters will be more of an impact in GB then in AoK.

THe Tusk Cat is your basic Jaguar from AoK-C

I wonder if you could convert a wandering krayt dragon? *evil laugh* Also, I wonder of critters would fight each other. That would be really cool. Just think, you're wandering a scout along and "RRROOOOOWWWRRRR!" a krayt dragon battling a few rancors. THAT would be cool. :D

yeah, it would be cool if they had two "earth" civs" They could be like "gaia" and "terra." And they would fight each other occasionally.

TRIVIA: What game are those names from?

don't bet on it.
critters are, as a rule, used as either eye-candy or simply a pain in the ass for your villagers. that means they won't be swayed in performing that task.. :(

I wonder, will the mynocks attack air units? Critters normally do attack passing units. Will this be the same?

Maybe, but I doubt it. I don't think there will be mynocks though...they live in dark cool areas like caves.
