Nodaro DocsAnimal
Pick one of 126 animals, from pets and wildlife to dinosaurs and dragons, and Nodaro adds the animal and a short description of its look to your prompt.
The Animal picker adds an animal to an image or a video. You choose one animal from its catalog, such as a golden retriever, a tiger, an eagle, a dinosaur or a dragon. Nodaro adds the animal and a short description of its look to the prompt of every node you connect it to. The picker never calls a model, so it costs no credits.
When to use it
- Wildlife and nature scenes.
- Pet photography, and product campaigns that feature a pet.
- Fantasy and storyboard work with dragons, griffins or dinosaurs.
- Unexpected pairings, for example a peacock in a corporate boardroom.
How to use it
Add the picker
Open the node picker and choose Creative Controls › Subject › Animal.
Choose an animal
Select the node and choose an animal in the settings panel. Each tile shows a photo of the animal, and the node card shows the same photo. The photos come with the app, so they appear on Nodaro Cloud and on self-hosted installs. The few animals without a photo show an emoji of a similar animal.
Connect it
Drag from the picker's output to the Elements input of a Generate Image or Generate Video node. You can also connect it to a Text or Prompt node to include the wording in a longer text.
Run the image or video node
The animal's wording is added to the end of the prompt when the connected node runs.
Settings

What it adds to the prompt
In Full mode, the picker writes "featuring a", the animal's name and one sentence about its coat, shape and features. For Golden Retriever it adds:
featuring a golden retriever, Medium-large dog with a luxurious wavy golden coat, feathered tail and a warm friendly faceIn Compact mode, it adds only golden retriever. Use Compact when your prompt already describes the animal, or when many pickers feed one node.
Every animal
The catalog has 12 groups: Cats, Dogs, Transport & Working, Farm, Wild, Birds, Sea Life, Small Pets, Reptiles, Insects, Dinosaurs and Mythical. Search it or filter it by group. The words under each name are the term the picker adds in Compact mode.

Animal or Animal/Creature Asset
The Animal picker describes a kind of animal in words. Each run draws a new animal that matches the description, so your dog looks different in every shot. To show the same animal again and again, use an Animal/Creature Asset. The asset keeps an approved picture of the animal and sends it with every run. Read Creatures for the full method.
Tips
- Put the animal somewhere. Pair the picker with Setting for a real place, or with Backdrop for a studio shot.
- Describe what the animal does. Use Custom text (after), for example
with fur catching the light, or Custom text (before), for examplemid-leap. - Try a surprising pairing. Wire a Person and an Animal picker into the same node, for example a knight with a peacock.
