improvements / expanding on existing ideas
whale island
-every 5 days, the whale dives, submerging all but trees. your creatures will drown, but you can do sea things: fish, clams, seaweed, etc.
-after 2 days submerged, the whale will resurface and blow a spray of water from its blowhole, covering 5 blocks around the blowhole. creatures standing there will be healed 2 days
trees
-pine trees can be landed on by winged creatures; collect pine needle nesting material
