Looking forward to the next event.
Could we have a food fight for Thanksgiving?? XD I want to throw mashed potatoes and stuffing at people.
Haven't been on Magistream in several months. Any gifts of recent creatures would be greatly appreciated!

I was thinking, maybe there could be a donation mystery egg? Like, 10 shards or another price and you get a random doni. With 297 (I think I counted right...) Your chances of getting one specifically would be fairly low. And you would need to deal with the RNG which could give you an old, rare, 5-shard doni, or the most recent 2-shard doni.
I think it would be a good way to get some more of the older donis into the system, and also a good way to raise more site revenue! I know that mystery/random things can be really fun, so I hope you can at least consider! It could be in the black market too, so you could limit the mystery, random eggs and the time they're available.

Can we filter the Bestiary by some new criteria? I would like to be able to search by a creature's elemental type, specifically Air, Dark, Earth, Fire, Healing, Ice, Light, Lightning, Water, and any others that apply. Also, I'd like to be able to search by animal type. It would be sections with subsections, sort of like this:

Amphibians
Birds
---Gryphons
---Hippogryphs
---Phoenixes
Crystalwings
Fish
---Sharks
Invertebrates
---Arachnids
---Clams, Snails, and Octopi
---Crabs and Lobsters
---Insects
---Starfish
---Jellyfish
Mammals
---Bats
---Canines
---Equines
------Hippocampi
------Pegasus
------Unicorns
---Felines
---Lagomorphs
---Rodents
---Ursines
---Whales
Reptiles
---Dragons
------Eastern
------Western
------Wyrms
------Wyverns
---Lizards
---Quetzalcoatls
---Serpents
---Turtles and Tortoises

My outline might seem too specific, and it might be better to have a looser outline, but we do have a lot of "repeat" creatures, like dragons, so narrowing the search down to specific types of dragons, like wyverns and wyrms, could be helpful.

I think a dark theme would be nice since it would be a lot easier on the eyes. I have an extension that I use to make web pages dark but it looks wonky on some websites since it's kind of hard for it to be completely optimized for each and every website.

I think more criteria to sort and select the creatures in our Keep by would be really helpful too. Like how about percentage, color, gender, date, questborn/eventborn/streamborn, etc. Trying to find blue morph hollowjacks in my sea of 4000 is impossible at the moment.

Another nice feature would be if the Bestiary, when seeing how many of each creature you have, could tell us where each is located in our Keep. Many times I've accidentally clicked the wrong tab, gotten a creature or egg lost, and had to search through all the tabs to find it.

This would only work if you had all of each type of creature in only one tab. I personally don't. lol There was once a sense of order to my keep, but at present... not so much! When I'm looking for a creature I've put in a wrong tab (happens a lot), I use the mass move feature to find which types are in a tab and what shouldn't be there. Once I lost an egg and went through each tab moving "unfrozen" "egg" to main until I found it.
Feel free to click my entire keep. Anything I don't want to grow is protected.

Re: the above issue, I actually made a suggestion for that a long while back.

On creature pages, it displays how many of that creature we own. Would it be possible to display which tabs contain that creature? For example, here's my current page for tidal capricorns:

Current page

Here's an option for tabs to be listed by the creature type.
The blue links are the names of the tabs. For example, if I have a frozen egg in a "Hybrids" tab and in a "Frozen Eggs" tab, then both of those would be listed by the number of eggs I own.

Or if that is too complicated, here's an example with just the tabs listed.
This won't tell you which tabs have the frozen eggs, hatchlings, or adults, but it lists all the tabs that have tidal capricorns in them.

Again I have no idea if this is possible to implement, but I think it would be really useful if it is, especially for those of us with a ton of tabs and creatures. A side effect of having tons of tabs is that misclicks can easily happen when you're trying to move creatures. Whenever I have to look for a lost creature I have to go through every single tab to find it.

Or maybe, alternatively, we could have a mass move option that would transport all creatures of a certain type in your keep into one tab? So like the move multiple creatures button we already have, but for all the tabs.

Ehh I don't think I'd like that, because then I'd have to re-sort everything back into its original tab. A lot of people have multiples of the same species in different tabs for various sorting purposes, and I definitely wouldn't like to have to go through and sort potentially hundreds of creatures again.
