Would it be possible for players to hide as one of the 3D magical creatures in a hide and seek map?
It could take place in the Magizoologist Newton Scamander's suitcase where he had all of the magical creatures.
The players could choose between a block or magical creature to hide as.
If hiding as a magical creature is possible along with other NPC magical creatures in the map, then that would be nice.

I think this would be a good idea, but sometimes very glitchy. Some mobs are quite large (like 2x3 blocks for example) but they would only have a collider of 1 or 2 blocks so whenever you stand under a lamp or roof, the player's block/creature will look weird because it's glitching through a block.

I like the idea of a magical creatures map though, this could be very cool. I still think hiding as creatures won't be very successful, although a map like that would be very interesting in my opinion.

Hi hi @Somnambulist !

I am here to let you know that this suggestion has been accepted! We definitely like the idea of this map and we're very interested in looking into creating it! New maps are always good to add variety to the game and we think it would be very fun to play through. We would need to be a little careful in terms of copyright and might make it more generalized towards magical creatures than specifically Newt's suitcase. However, we will not be adding NPCs and ASTs to the map or as an option to hide as, as it presents lag issues for players who cannot handle the server as well as others. Adding them as an option to hide as would also require us to rework the game's tech, which we do not feel is worth looking into. But, as I have said before, we are very interested in adding new maps and new options to hide as so we will definitely be looking into creating those!

Thank you once again for suggesting this and I hope you have a magical day!!
