This is a game I would totally play, as silly as it sounds. The first Zoo Tycoon game had a handful of mythical creatures, and I really like mythology and fantasy creatures so I think it would be a neat variation of the zoo simulator genre. Shoot, maybe it could be an expansion pack for a larger, base zoo game. There could be mythical creatures from cultures all over the world, even staff members could be mythical creatures. Like, you have to hire merfolk to take care of aquatic creatures. And there could still be an educational element by having a species encyclopedia that talks about the mythology of the creatures. In addition to the well-known mythical creatures like dragons and unicorns, there would be the more obscure stuff like the Nandi bear, kirin, and Piasa bird. Personally I'd be excited to see North American cryptids like mothman, Altahama-ha, Hodag, and the Jersey devil.
Some creatures would require special types of exhibit construction, like dragons and phoenixes would need fireproof enclosures. You'd be able to do shows and interaction programs with certain creatures, like flying horse rides and dragon shows. Building and decor themes could include deep sea, ancient Greece, Mesoamerica, gothic, and dark forest, among others.
What animals and features would you want to see in a game like this?
