http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Bestiary

I would edit the discussion page, but editing wikis confuses me and I don't really want to go through the hassle. So I hope this topic will do.

Anyways, should creatures from in-game books and lore be included in the bestiary? For example, although it's not exactly from a game, it seems that the "Hob" is included, and it comes from The Infernal City. http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Hob#Hob

I notice there's creatures that are referenced a few times within various sources. For example:
Badger - http://uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Hints - There's an inn called the "The Lucky Badger Hostel." You can search the page with ctrl + f.
Raccoon, wombat - http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Ius,_Animal_God - Referenced in the story.

They're allowed in (see Lore:Flora. Same rules apply). However, I'd prefer to catalog any other creatures like these first though. Also, I wouldn't want to add "badger" as we can't be sure it refers to the animal (it can also mean "bother). That would be one big undertaking, considering the sheer number of books in the ES universe that would have to be combed through.

If there isn't anything to say about the creature, it's not really worth having an entry for. Nothing wrong with adding them though.

I don't know. Even if we won't have much more to say than "They exist", I genuinely like the idea of having a listing of every single animal that we currently know about. Actually adding them is an entirely different issue, however.

How would references be implemented? Maybe a reference section at the bottom of each page?
