Animals are non-magical creatures that generally rely upon melee-type attacks with their claws and fangs; a few animals are non-hostile, unless provoked. Several animals have resistance to frost; otherwise animals have no magical abilities.
In some cases, the listed animals are primarily generated from animal leveled lists; these animals are commonly encountered along roads or in the wilderness, and are also found in several caves and some ruins. There are several animals, however, that are not part of these leveled lists, and there are other "nuisance" animals that are found almost anywhere. Specifics are provided with each individual animal.
Black bears: Are large, hostile animals. They do about half as much damage and have less than half the health of their larger relative, the brown bear.
Found: Wilderness, roads, caves, and ruins
Boars: Are small, hostile animals that will try to gore you with their tusks.
Found: Wilderness and roads, boars are not found in ruins or caves.
Brown bears are large, hostile animals that rely on their large, clawed paws for attacks. They are 30% larger than their smaller relative, the black bear, and about twice as powerful.
Found: Wilderness, roads, caves, and ruins
Deer are skittish, non-hostile creatures that will flee if approached. Does are more common and are found in herds of two or three. Bucks are solitary and notably hardier.
Found: Deer are found randomly along roads or in the wilderness.
Dogs are generally non-hostile, although dogs protecting bandit or marauder camps may attack.
Found: Several dogs are pets in towns; dogs can also be randomly generated in place of a bandit or marauder in campsites.
Horses are creatures that can generally be ridden. They are typically non-hostile but may attack you if you attack them first, and can deal large damage by rearing up then slamming their front hooves on you.
Found: At stables outside cities (where they can be purchased or stolen), at other settlements, and wandering around on the outskirts of the Great Forest on the south shore of Lake Rumare. Horses found in the wilderness cannot be ridden, with the exception of the Unicorn.
Mountain lions are rapid, dangerous predators.
Found: Wilderness, roads, caves, and ruins .
Mud Crabs are pesky, weak predators.
Found: Anywhere near water or underwater. Mud Crabs are considered a "nuisance beast"
Rats are pesky, weak and aggressive critters.
Found: Anywhere. Rats are considered a "nuisance beast" that can sometimes appear as a pet.
Sheep are non-aggressive creatures that wander around in (or near) sheepfolds.
Found: Outside of villages and farms.
Slaughterfish are vicious underwater creatures that can be difficult to hit, especially since several types of attack are ineffective underwater.
Found: Underwater only (lakes, rivers, flooded ruins and caves)
Timber Wolves are 25% larger and are somewhat stronger than their relatives, standard wolves.
Found: Wilderness, roads, caves, and ruins , timber wolves are also found in vampire lairs.
Wolves are fairly weak predators; their larger relative, the Timber Wolf is somewhat stronger.
Found: Wilderness, roads, caves, and ruins,wolves are also found in vampire lairs.
