This is hard, because you've said you don't like the idea of mutated humans, perhaps mutated military? That would be kinda cool. Like they were sent in to contain this area, and were mutated as a result. I honestly think that's best, and it fits with the radiation. You could also use this for bandit camps. If you ever planned to make a way to offer an expanded map, that utilized more of the map, for larger servers, you could have either bandits, or mutated military set up with little mini tented camps up north, perhaps with like a radiation containment tank nearby, broken open.
Give us fluffy chickens!
Mutant komodo dragons, lizards be deadly.
Something in between Mutant Animals and Mutant Humans. Humanoid monsters or creatures of some kind, not zombies. Haha I'd even take dinosaurs.
mutant animals because theres not much you can do with human mutants to distance them from zombies
I do belive Dinosaurs would fit. The athmosphere would be awesome! Imagine. You're trying to gather some wood for your home and you see a dinosaur roaming the wood pile. I do belive it's way better than seeing a strange RED wolf barking on the wood pile. + For dinosaurs!

I think the military would be a fine addition. There would be so many possibilities.

I also like the kind of dark evil creature idea. What immediately comes to mind are mutants and shades from Anarchy Online.

How about real animals dem dolphins pls.
Robots? :v: interesting, have my vote.
A shadow creature, Alan Wake style. Would fit in well with the day/night cycle.
I vote Dinosaurs but I don't really mean dinosaurs explicitly, more mutant animals but based on the look of dinosaurs. Reptilian style mutants. Dinosaurs also give a wide variety of possible enemies and different AI types. Small, fast raptor type enemy or large hulking T-rex style enemies. There could even be passive herbivore types later on.
I would like to see natives to the island that use bows. Possibly at night have small groups of them that move around and hunt players.
mutant animals.. or something of the sort. Some out in the day.. others only at night, and HUNT YOU!! they stay out of your light.. but if you drop that torch to harvest something... AAUAUUUGUGHHGHGHG!!! lol would LOVE some sort of terror/scary animals at night... you can hear them growl/howl from far away... as they get near, they get quiet and you have to listen for twigs breaking, paws in the grass lol
Aliens in different equipment. From lightly clothed scouts and constructors, over defensive guy to big ground warriors in brutal mechs.
It would cool if there was a mix. Animals in the wilderness and zombies/millitary at the towns.
Mythical creatures can almost be interchangeable with mutant animals, really, depending on your sources of material. You could have mutated mythical animals / creatures / "people" (giants, centaurs, other nasties).
I personally believe military fits the bill. If any of you, mainly brits, are familiar with the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivors_(2008_TV_series)"]BBC series [I][B]Survivors[/B][/I][/URL] that's where I imagine this game going. Instead of a nuclear apocalypse, zombie plague etc. it simulated life after a Flu or SARS pandemic that wipes out the world's population. Obviously there exist survivors (immunity etc.) that form communities, in some cases factions and the series eluded towards to a more organised governmental/military group that had (planned for?) and survived. Unfortunately this series was cancelled but my imagination extends to it being a feasible scenario in rust, with a few tweaks to explain radiation etc.
I think that Military is good but at least make their accuary bad or at least not good, normal cause if their gonna be added its gonna be hard for New Spawned to survive without getting shot everytime he spawns.
Mutant Humans, but some of them were Military. If nothing else so "why do wolves and bears have guns/blueprints/armor/etc on their person?" stops popping up in chat as it would somewhat make sense for mutated people to have these things.
Voted for mutant animals. Only posting to add, ugh, military, really? Every friggin game out there has military. It's not only been done, it's the only thing [I]more[/I] trite than zombies. (not hating, just offering my opinion) -edit the next poster has it right. If you are talking [I]tribal[/I] military, then I'm all in.

Or they could just focus on making a good survival game... there does not need to be some crazy twist, how about just a better version of what we have now? Instead of wasting time on some silly npc. Just an idea.
Mutants + Military = Nice
I think not necessarily "Mutant" humans, or "Military" but just unfriendly human NPC's. They look/act like other hostile players but are NPCs guarding towns/roaming etc.
Please just not military.. Every other game has it, plus it would make it more like Day Z, which this game should not be like.. Mythical creatures might be really cool though. Think Cyclops, Medusa, those things in labyrinths with goat feet, shit like that would be really cool.
