Now I know it's silly to talk about a second project while I've just started this one but this one is just preliminary idea rolling and setup really.

Now I've currently got a world to set up and mess about with but right now I need a species for the main character, I've been using a wolf as a placeholder but I'm not entirely happy with that as it seems a little too cliche and not suited for the situation. So I figured I'd ask anyone for their own ideas really.

The only thing I need is something that can walk on land and avoiding insectoids and arachnids
