Can we please, please get some better organization options in the Bestiary?
First, a search feature would be fantastic. I'd really like to just be able to type in a name of a familiar (or part of a name) and pull up that familiar without having to try to guess which page it's on.
Alternately or in addition to the above, a way to sort your familiars by 'Collected' and 'Not Collected' would make it easier to figure out what you do/don't need.
My other biggest wish is icons which will indicate where a familiar is. This could be easily added as an icon to show that it is with a dragon (a dragon icon), in your hoard (a hoard icon), or in your vault (a vault icon).
All of these things make it much easier when going through trying to figure out which familiars you need to stick in your vault for safe-keeping and which are duplicates you can safely sell.

i feel even changing the page numbers to letters would help a lot
any kind of sorting would be useful even something very simple. just the numbers we have now makes it increasingly difficult to navigate the bestiary.

I would like to add in my own suggestions here for changes to the Bestiary, which may duplicate some of what is said above.
1) The Bestiary is getting so large now that going through it page by page is a pain. If you need to find a familiar that starts with H, you have to change the url of the page to a number closer to the middle or several clicks of pages to even find the H's. I know that the limit of 8 familiars is there for being a nice layout and not many images of load, but please either:
a) Make it where we can go to a letter and see ALL familiars starting with that letter or
b) Make a search option so we can search for the familiar we are looking for.
2) We really need to be able to sort the Bestiary. 78 pages and growing is a little ridiculous. Making it truly alphabetical by splitting the page to the alphabet would help, but making a drop down to sort by different options is need too. This should have been in a long time ago.
Sort options:
- Name
- Bonding status (Wary - Awakened)
- Collected or Not Collected
3) Let us keep something of the familiar in the Bestiary if we have bonded with it and then later sold it / lost it, whatever. There is a Bugnet icon at the bottom of every familiar when you have it. If you don't have it, just remove the bugnet but leave the heart with the status of bonding and the status name there. Maybe bring the transparency on the familiar down to 50%, but please leave the entry there. You don't throw out all pictures of a pet when that pet dies or gets lost for a while. I know I don't, so why would a clan suddenly erase all record of a familiar that was with them just because it moved on?
I have included an example of what I think it should look like, but I just highlighted the net to be removed. Yes, the familiar is set to 50% transparency for this shot. This one is an awakened one, but I don't think this idea should be limited to just awakened familiars. A record is a record.
4) I really like the idea stated above to indicate where the familiar is with your clan. Maybe replace the net icon with a dedicated icon for that.

Great ideas! I myself do collect familiars, so this would be very useful to me and other people who collect familiars.

Honestly you had me at 'Bestiary Improvements' but these are all excellent ideas.

I do feel like we need those improvements, they shouldn't be too hard to implement but they would help a lot.

I agree! It would make finding familiars for your dragon so much easier and also know which ones you can sell

The Marketplace tab for buying familiars will tell you if you have more than one copy of a familiar. I wish the Bestiary did too. :,

yes!!! all of these are great. 100% support.
maybe you could also filter them? like show "complete" or ones you own/owned and ones you dont.
