Controversial WSHDT: We Should Have Domesticated That.

#1
Denizens of Worst Gen, we have recently pondered over the ratio of human males required to mindlessly throw at various creatures until they physically succumb to single-minded Homo domination but have we pondered an alternative path? A path where we befriend instead of battle? :Ryo_Think:

Many of us humans are obsessed with seeing all manner of creatures across the Animal Kingdom as being "friend-shaped", even those that we really shouldn't. :sus:
Whoever thought of "pet" chimpanzees needs to be exiled to Antarctica for the rest of humanity's safety. :Haku_Shovel:

So in this thread, we shall express our thoughts on what creatures should have or could have been domesticated in the name of human development, whether as beasts of burden, war mounts, agricultural stock or simply companionship (or for the lols, lmao). :Tou_Cheers:

Just to spice things up, let us include recently (relatively speaking) extinct creatures too. Humans have supposedly been at this domesticating business for tens of thousands of years. For extra spice, let us say any species alive within the last 65,000 years is fair game for hypothetical domestication. :Egg_Peak:

So come all ye, lay down thy weeb bloodlust and befriend the fauna of the world. :Smug_Ki:

Well for starters, Palaeoloxodon, or the straight tusked elephants.

The large P. namadicus and P. antiquus could get to three times as massive as an African bull elephant on average. Imagine how badass they'd have been!

And then you have the cute little dwarf ones like P. cypriotes!

The Cretan Dwarf mammoth is a must, too.

As is the gigantic Steppe mammoth

and ofc the iconic woolly and Columbian mammoths.
