I'm going through the AD&D 2e Monstrous Manual/Compendium to find appropriate monsters and animals for populate the planets with. I'll add them as I use them, so this list will expand over time. To avoid information overkill, I'm just listing the bits that pertain to XXVc, since all that other info is available elsewhere.
SALUQI
CONCEIVED PURPOSE: Hunting dog
CLIMATE/TERRAIN: Mars, desert and plains
Genotype: Greyhound
Habitat/Terrain: Bred by RAM scientists as hunting dogs, the saluqi quickly fell into favor with Martian prisons where they are used by guards to track escapees. They are also used by high ranking RAM employees in hunting human prey (typically Terran) for sport. Saluquis are best suited to the desert-like environment of Mars and are thus suited to any arid, sandy environment.
Ecology: Saluqis' superior eyesight is ideally suited to the thin Martian atmosphere, where sound carries less well than it does on Earth. Their eyes were crafted using DNA from Boa Constrictors, allowing them a high degree of night vision as well as the ability to see heat signatures. More to come!
