Are there any options for making a cheapo even temporary chocolate mold? I have already seen the silicone option, I'm not really gonna be making chocolates anymore so I'm not really fond of a one time purchase
I'm not too interested in making too intricate a design, just animal shapes or something
Muffin tin, muffin liners, small glasses, etc.
What the fuck are you even asking. You answered your own question. You want animal shapes and you've seen silicone molds. Boom
just get the clear plastic molds. They are like $2 each and have so many thousands to choose from. You would spend more than that trying to make your own plus they look better than what you would make.

Doesn't Bed Bath & Beyond have dumb things like animal molds?

A box of animal crackers? They have many charming and cute shapes of giraffes, lions, wolves, bears, and I don't know, just wonderful animal shapey thinggys.
the best way to make chocolate shapes without any kind of mold is to either melt a bunch of chocolate into a brick and chisel your own shapes like a chocolate Michaelangelo, or just dollop melted chocolate onto wax paper and convince your guests that chocolate amoebas are your theme

mix it with the little half inch soft marshmallows first for the nucleus and peanut butter for cytoplasm

do as the industrial candy makers do and use cornstarch to make a temporary mold on a baking tray.

That'll work for candy but I don't think chocolate would do as well.

It will work if you rinse off the chocolate after it sets. Just don't use hot water.
