Animation is a an art form, and like all art its only good to you if its making you money. The first step in making a living animating is to get hired, and the best way to do that is wow your future employers with your very own demo reel. One of the best things to include is creature animation because it not only shows you have range but shows you are willing to do more than just work with people,(aka you have verity) witch is valuable. Keeping with the theme of verity make sure that you have a lot of different videos in you demo reel sometimes it even good to show special effects if you've done any. One of the best ways to show diversity is to change up the stile of animation, it can be anything from 2D to 3D or showing a boy running vs a dog, its stuff like this that makes you stand out angst the rest.
This article has a lot of interesting stuff in it and I like the pointers about how to land a job with people like pixar. the advice they give is repetitive but in a good way the only way to become a good animator I to diversify yourself. And the best way to diversify yourself is to change up the stile, type, and character type.
