whtdragon's animals and running horses- now with more dragons!

Christmas comes early this year and I've got one doozy of a present for everyone here. I noticed when looking at the default resources in MV that there was an unusually small amount of animals--a smaller amount then most of the other RPG makers, and that will simply not do. I took a look at every other RPG maker's animals and I decided to remake them all for MV. I then also added some new animals that I felt like should be givens for any typical game. I tried to keep them faithful to the MV style, and there are a few I'm not completely satisfied with, and I will try and fix when I can.

​

Current count of unique animal sprites: 50+ (s-so many!)
​

I was also given a suggestion by Skysurfer about running horses. I was not going to do that at first but then I said "challange excepted" and well now we have running horses. (again trying to keep to the MV style)

​

DISCLAIMER:
the running horse animation IS 4 frames, so you will either need a plugin for extra frames or you will need to use some other method of using 4 frames in your animations, but it should be usable. Apologies that I could not bring it down to the default three frames, I really did try! But it just was not working like I wanted it to. Alternatively, they can be used in RPG maker XP. For the sake of information, the frames are 64x57, slightly bigger then the original sprite.

Terms:

• As these are (mostly) edits of MV's sprites, you will need a legal copy of RPG maker MV, otherwise~~
  
• Credit is appreciated, but not required.
  
• They are free to use for commercial or non commercial.
  
• You are free to edit, change, recolor, re-edit, remix, maim, mangle, add on, divide, and conquer to your heart's content. I don't even mind if you re-upload them elsewhere as it would only mean more people get access to them and that is A-OK in my books

Badgers:


Hippos: against my better judgment I went ahead and made a full character sheet


Geese:

Ducks both walking and swimming:

Ostrich:


Reindeer:

saddled yak:

Spoiler

the animations for these are very basic/small since they are small animals and I figured it wouldn't be a big deal.

Squirrels


mice:


chinchillas:


ferrets:


moles:


large moles:


frogs:



Large frog because why not? He too has basic animation because it amuses me.


small turtles:


large turtles:


snakes and lizards:


misc. flying birds


smaller birds- VX/VXA friendly!




Owls both sitting and flying:


small crabs

large crabs

Cobras


bees/beehives:



flying butterflies and dragonflies

Fishes
these are proper fish sprites like other animals. ment for undersea levels, aquariums, fish tanks.
variety of common small fish, round fish, sharks, larger sharks, great white sharks, mola molas, giant boss octopus/kraken

Spoiler

common variety of fishes






round fish:


sharks


Larger Sharks: Due to the size of these sprites, I will not be making full sheets of these. They are about the size of three MV default characters~!




Great White Sharks:




Molamola/sunfish; a friend has pestered me for awhile to specifically make these guys!

Giant Octopus/Kraken: This guy was split into two parts, one for the head, and one for the tentacles. Because of how big he is, I will not be making full sheets of him, but hopefully having the tentacles separated out will be fun to play with and animate/move in game cinematics

Fishing animations
Disclaimer: you WILL need to heavily edit these into sprite sheets, this is more of a resource sheet. The animations are simplistic for those that only want vague shadows, and doesn't want anything super detailed.

Spoiler

Mythological animals: Unicorn, Carbuncle, Cockatrice,Kirin/Qilin, Golems, walking monstrous mushrooms, mini mushrooms, running radishes, kasa-obaki/傘おば,Tanukis/ たぬ,Kappa/ 河童 ,floating skull heads, RPGXP styled ghosts, death sprites, zombie animals, possessed books, Arimans and catbear and werewolf/large wolfbeast, Giant cat/saber cats, Mimic Gate, and behemoth, spider people, recolored bosses: death, demon king, false prophet

Spoiler

Unicorn; gold horn and white horn versions. I included separate images for horns in case anyone wanted to use those too


Carbuncle:


Kirin/Qilin/麒麟:


Golems:



Cockatrice:


Walking mushroom:


Mini Mushroom Men:


Running radish:


Kasa-Obake/傘おばけ

Tanukis / たぬき / 狸
both with leaves on their heads and without u w u/ 'cause I thought it'd be cute~


Kappa / 河童 / かっぱ
couple of different versions.


floating Skulls/ghouls: inspired in part by Zelda games, these are litterally just floating skulls and some of them are on fire. I dunno that's pretty cool maan.


Ghosts:


Death and misc. spirit sprites: gave death a smaller/human-esk form that's more manageable from his boss sprite


zombie/undead animals:


possessed/magical books: includes opening animation!


Ariman: based loosely off the 2003 design, though they're probably closer to the Final Fantasy series' version


Catbear: loosely based on a monster from secret of mana


werewolf/wolfbeast: would likely be too big for a werewolf that most people want and would simply just be a big giant wolf monster instead.


Big Saber Cats: FINALLY got around to making full bodied versions of the heads for the big cats I made for Sin's trophy heads


Mimic Gate:


Behemoth: note: these do not animate. I figure they'd be better suited to use with overlapping effects:


Boss types~!
because we could always use more bosses/big sprites! I tried keeping the recolors at least somewhat interesting

Spider people:


recolors of death


Demon king recolors


God/False Prophet recolors

Dragons and Wyverns:
we got both! due to the nature of the sprites most of them, I will probably never make full sprite sheets and be single character sheets instead. Most of them are simply too big.

small wyverns, large wyverns, rideable wyvern, baby dragons, asian dragons, large dragons, recolored MV dragons, small wyvern/flying serpants

Spoiler

Wyverns:






larger version:


Ridable Wyvern:


Baby dragons:
baby version of the MV default dragon:


cute fat lil' dragons:


Asian serpent dragons:


upright walking dragon; kind of my take of the old RPG maker 2000 dragon both winged and wingless



Dragon Recolors:
I gave them more interesting colors based on region. Desert, tundra, volcano and ocean. (so far)


Winged serpants/small wyverns/flying snake types: these where pretty simple in design, and I know some people asked for flying snakes and serpant-esk dragons. I do want to make different kinds at some point but for now, I hope these will be sufficient enough

limbless:


limbs version:

There are some more sprites I made that aren't included in here, mostly additional animations for the animals seen here. They are not finished, but I wanted to get these out before Christmas, and I'm hoping I'll get to see some creative additions and use from the community.
I do plan on maybe getting some more animals out, but probably not for at least a week or two at the time of this posting. I've already got some animal suggestions, but I would like to hear what would be the most popular/requested from the community, and I hope this shows I can do more then just some simple tree recolors and edits lol u w o;

Cool~ 

Neat~

Nice~

Too bad I used VX Ace though.

 

I'm in the same boat as Prodigy but these are some pretty great sprites.

 

I am pretty sure that MV sprites are bigger than VX Ace right?

 

Yeah they're 48x48 while ace's are 32x32.

 

These are beautiful. Amazing work and thank you so much!

 

Awesome Stuff!!! Thanks again and again WHTDRAGON!!! 

 

These are really nice.  I like the resting cat and dog and the ones with backpacks.  The large cats turned out nice.  And you simply don't see enough frogs out there so that was nice to see.

 

Thanks a lot for making such nice animal sprites, I really like the fox and the goat.

 

fwaa thanks guys />w<;; I'm glad people like them~

as for the VX/VXA users, yeah sorry, MV spites are 48x48, though before I got MV I was making sprites for VXA soo I may upload those sometime maybe down the line.

 

Lions, Tigers and Bears! Oh my!  Seriously though, these look great. Hope to see more. Thanks for these!

 

Ough... I am looking for more. Christmas are coming early for rmv users

Great Job love your sprites!

 

These are really well done

Good Job!

 

These look amazing!

Great job there, and thanks for sharing! 

 

Total noob here. When I try to add the animals, I can only select part of them (for the fox, the front or the back). What am I doing wrong?

 

For the foxes, you will need to use a program like Gimp or Photoshop to separate them into individual sprite sheets. Each separate animal will have 3 frames across and 4 up and down. Then when you save the file, you will need a $ at the beginning of the name.

Sorry I can't show an example, on my phone right now.

 

yeah sorry >wo; these aren't set up as sets by default. You'll have to make your own character sets for them. Fortunately that should be easy enough to make/edit character sets for them, and you get the added benefit of picking/choosing which ones you want to keep grouped for organizing.

Meanwhile added a couple of new recolors guys o w o/  I hope you all enjoy them~

 

Yay, thank you! (PTF-ing to find the post and give due credit if the sprites are used)

 

new update >wo7 added new camels with saddles, located where the horses and donkeys are, lizard and snakes, two types of small birds and a silly large frog 'cause I wanted to make a large frog~ they are all located under small animals.

The very small sparrow-like bird sprites are 32x32 and can be used by VX/VXA users. The slightly larger ones could also be used in VX/VXA but you'll have to remake the sheets for them if you use them for VX/VXA.
Here's a little sample of the flying animation:


The fish sprites are ment for fishing mini games or just having fish transparent in the water and are not terribly detailed sprites. I will eventually get to actually making fish sprites in the same style as the rest of the animals, but I figured there was more demand for these sprites right now. Not only are there small miscellaneous fish, but is also jellyfish, squid, crab, eel, a large fish/shark and a hammerhead shark.

Also there is technically over 20 animal sprites, but I didn't count the recolors, nor did I count the fish sprites. I do have a question though, if I decide to make a mythological set of animals, should I include humanoids here as well? I feel like it'd be kind of going away from the original post of being just animals. What do you guys think?

 

Wowwy Zoodles!  Great job on these!
