    I'm working on a comic with a heavy use of underused animals, and would like to know which animals you would like to see be used in media. I've already used a few species that I haven't seen in media already
    such as
    - Lowland Streaked Tenrec
    - Serval
    - Makhor
    - Gemsbok
    - Australian Ghost Shark
    - Red River Hog
    - Double Wattled Cassoway
    - Nautilus
    - Greater Galgo
    - Sunda Slow Loris
    - Tawny Frogmouth
    - Secretary Bird
    - East African Crowned Crane
    - Goblin Shark
    - Frilled Shark
    - Giant Isopod
    - Red Panda
    - Demoiselle Crane
    - Burrowing Owl
    - Chinese Pangolin
    And a few others

    If you publish your comic, it's gonna be a treasure trove here: Seldom-Seen Species - TV Tropes :p

    Some obscure birds that I'd like to see in fiction:
    - Cock-of-the-rock (any species)
    - Golden-headed quetzal
    - Spur-winged goose
    - Northern gannet

    Thank you for showing me the site, and I will work on adding these bird species
    Seeing as I haven't used any fish species that breath air yet, this will be a species that I plan to use heavily

    It is a bit late for me to tell you this but while servals are underused, they might be receiving popularity among anime fans because of the anime kemono friends.

    I never hear brushtail possums and any species of turaco receive enough attention.

    - Bornean Bristlehead
    - Tardigrade
    - Andean Cock-of-The-Rock
    - Spur Winged Goose
    - Northern Gannet
    - Sungrebe
    - Hagfish
    - Bulldog Bat

    These are the animals I'm currently working on, along with two animals I decided to add, Giant Sable Antelope and Gelada. I might also use the other animals requested I'm just not planning on developing them right now, I still want to see what other animals all of you would like to see.
