Creatures are living entities in the game that can spawn randomly. Some creatures can be tamed, causing them to follow the player around and produce items, such as Milk and Eggs, or when pet trigger them to drop scales or spider silk.
Neutral NPCs can also be found wandering the world and are not categorized as Creatures.
The corpses of most dead creatures can be carved using a sharp item, allowing the player to harvest resources.
The spawn rate of creatures is affected by the difficulty/reputation of the world, which is determined by the malignity and benignity as well as by time of day. Tougher creatures are more likely to spawn at night and at higher difficulties. There is a cap to how many creatures can be spawned on an island, once hit no more monsters will naturally spawn.
Aberrant Creatures[]
All creatures in the game have an aberrant form. Aberrant creatures are automatically hostile, pursuing the player regardless of the original creature's aggression. Aberrant creatures deal far more damage and have several times more health than their regular counterparts, making them especially tough for unarmed players. They are also less likely to be tamed. Also, unlike creatures that have a min damage of 1, aberrant creatures have a min damage of 3.
When killed aberrant creatures are more likely to drop higher quality items, likewise carving their corpses has a higher chance of producing higher quality items.
Very rarely, regular creatures can transform into their aberrant form, indicated by the Chat message, "You notice a (creature) become enraged and increase in strength."
Aberrant creatures are much more likely to appear at very high Malignity values.
Note that while aberrant fish are agressive, they currently do not deal attacks to the player.
