I'm looking for just any sort of mmo or rpg-esque game or anything of the sorts where I can play as an animal. Thinking back to my younger childhood; something like animal jam I suppose (at the least in the animal sense. Gameplay/art, etc can differ). Or maybe something like Guild Wars 2 or to a bit more of a slim degree ESO/Skyrim (with the Khajit). Thanks :)

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, a turn-based rpg similar to XCOM 2

The two 'Cattails' games come to mind, singleplayer sort of 'warriors cats' type town-sim rpgs. I havn't played the second but the first reminded me of Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing but themed around feral cat clan wars.

The 'Shelter' series also comes to mind, specifically 'Meadow' is online, the others are singleplayer.

More loosely theres a bunch of online dinosaur simulator games like 'The Isle,' though I think they only let you play as dinosaurs and not other animals.

As far as games specifically like Animal Jam I'd recommend keeping an eye on 'Frog Paradise.' It's an upcoming Club Penguin clone that looks promising.

Was about to be cheeky and say "any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle game ever made?" But then I saw RPG. Now I'm just kind of sad there isn't a TMNT RPG
