There are a handful of animals that I think every hopeful creature designer should have some familiarity with.
I refer to them as 'The Big 5 of Historical Creature Design' and 'The Big 5 of Contemporary Creature Design'. For reasons which I will have to explain another time :)
The Big 5 of Historical Creature Design
* Big Cat
* Horse
* Dog
* Ox/Bull
* Raptor/Bird of Prey (eagles, hawks, falcons)
The Big 5 of Contemporary Creature Design
* The Great Apes
* Bats
* Arthropods
* Cephalopods
* Dinosaurs
From these 10 groups of animals you can create a majority of fantastical creatures which have ever been designed.
Great question btw. Thanks.
