--This list is by no means exhaustive. If I already had several sheep examples, for instance, I didn't go looking for more. If you know a cool creation that is markedly different from those shown, please contact me at bnh at chem dot ucla dot edu.

--In a few cases instructions exist, and these are marked. Otherwise, these creations are usually small enough that the experienced LEGO builder should be able to approximate them from the images selected.

--Many of these do not have the correct name of the builder, but rather have Brickshelf usernames. If you know the correct name, please contact me.

--Fantasy creatures will be covered on a separate page currently under construction.

--There are also official LEGO sets that include building animals out of basic bricks, such as 4408, 9055, 2134 and 4105.
