Livestock! Innit just the most adorable giant rodent thing you've ever seen?
Yeah, these creatures would more or less fill the role of goats basically, providing a source of meat and pelts. They could be found in villages in the game and in the wild as a low level, non-aggressive enemy to slaughter to your heart's content for loot and exp. Originally I was going to go for a design more like what you see in the upper right corner, which is heavily based on a cama, however while doodling in class I sketched something that look like a cross between a dik-dik and a shrew, so here we have a hyracotherium-capybara-elephant shrew-goat-type thing.... It may or may not gain horns at a later date. Also, I may change it's feet to be slightly more hoof-like.
Socially it fills the role of livestock, but biologically it's more like a rodent, so yeah... givin' the capybara a run for it's money as the largest rodent around.
The sketch in the upper left corner is-obviously- a camel, it was the first thing I sketched when starting my discovery project, when I was trying to think of ideas for the pack animal and the livestock
Sorry there aren't more doodles, I actually didn't do as many for the livestock animal, and the others aren't even unrefined sketches, they're half drawn, half designed creatures that were quickly abandoned.
