I just got a creature where I wasn't sure whether I had ever gotten one of its kind before. That gave me an idea:
On a Creature's archive page, why not have a section that says something like "You have found (number) of this creature so far".
The number would of course only count creatures you at some point had in your cove. I think this would be very helpful

Bit of a delayed response, but I agree with having a little symbol added to an archives page to tell you if you currently own one or not

@budgie since there are also a lot of people who send creatures to their side(s), I would say it would need to show you if you, at any time, owned one kind of creature

@budgie
@thaliel, not really. People trade creatures away, too. Tally between main and side(s) will give a more reliable result if you have ever given a creature away/had it die... Btw, how should dead creatures be listed? Something like "12(2)/40" meaning "Have 12(2 of them dead) out of the 40 ever held in cave?"

The easiest thing I can think of is a checkmark icon on a creature's archives page saying "You own/have owned this creature"
