My reply to this shall be twofold.

Firstly, about animals not showing up on the outworld map: that would be
extremely easy to do. I'm not sure I want to do it for a large number of
animals, however, because I'd prefer to let players who are actually watching
where they are going to do better than players blindly running through. But it
is possible, just not something for every animal. Snakes, for example, might
like it.

Secondly, the reason outworld animals don't typically move has usually been
one of CPU. In one boot, there aer many, many animals, hundreds if not
thousands. If they just sit there, they don't eat a lot of CPU space. But if
they move, not only do they eat some CPU to move (individually not much, large
amounts en masse) but they also wander into and "load" rooms, which also eats
space. Granted, we have a new driver and should be able to handle this, and
maybe a few animals wandering (predators, perhaps) wouldn't be so bad. Someone
remind me about this in a few weeks until we're 100% sure the lag issues are
solved.
