Yes I am going through that right now myself, as I will be starting a new
Campaign using the BRP and Runequest 2 with a bit of magic world thrown in
as the operating system. the world is set in the Americas around 1200 AD
  with some Ideas I've borrowed form another DM Using Both LDS and other
  mythologies to populate the area. So I am having to make up all the
standard animals of the area plus a few fantastic ones.
The hardest part for me is often finding sorces for the monster I want or
realisticaly creating their stats.
