So I'm not sure whether this has an "official" name, or if it even is a thing that other people are doing, however I will be doing another coli challenge.
THE GOAL: Get every coliseum familiar, through coliseum.
THE RULES: Boss familiars included! (This might take a while, yes.) Nothing I have so far will count, because I want to start from a blank slate. Coliseum familiars acquired through other means (chest drops, marketplace, AH etc) will not count. Venues don't need to be done in order, but everything needs to be kept track of. Multitasking (for example, keeping track of familiar drops if I'm primarily in the Mire to train fodder) is allowed.
WHY?
Short answer is, I want to make myself grind.
The long answer: I want those sweet, sweet drops. I want to expand my list of familiars (though I am not going for a completed bestiary and probably never will), and I definitely want duplicates for Baldwin and other purposes. I want to have a reason to go to venues I otherwise wouldn't go to and hopefully get some rare drops along the way too. And most of all, I want to give myself a goal to work towards in this game.
If you would like to help, I would appreciate some audio-based media reccommendations! Podcasts and such. Nothing political though, please.
If you're doing this yourself, I'd love to have a link!

Oh yes, a fancy new venue. A great place to start! I've already gotten a few familiars right before I started this thread, but we're starting over for every venue anyway.
Familiars:
Quillrunner
Familiar
A fight with a Quillrunner is a dangerous task no matter which way one approaches.
2300
x1
King Quillrunner
Familiar
Although lionsnakes may seem like the leaders of grasslands, these supercharged cheetahs use the atmosphere of the region to aid their sprints, almost never tiring when closing in on their prey.
2300

Pale Greattusk
Familiar
But have you ever seen a Greattusk fly?
2300
x1
Heckling Hydrena

2300

2300

2300

Dire Vulture
Familiar
Often misunderstood due to its name, the presence of Dire Vultures often means there is plenty of food nearby.
2300
x1
Ampelope

Having developed an evolutionary affinity for water, it isn't uncommon to come across a family of these hyenas floating in lakes and watering holes to beat the heat.
