Animals

Main / Animals

Wurm is full of animals/creatures/monsters--some harmless and others quite dangerous.

Spawning and behavior

• There are basically two types of creatures in Wurm: normal animals which can be tamed (and are usually based on real-world domesticated animals) and monsters which cannot be tamed (and are sometimes also known in the real world) but can often be dominated.
• Most creatures spawn in lairs. Some can also be bred by players.
• Most creatures like to avoid civilized areas and will have a reduced spawn rate near such areas.
• Animals are attracted to food sources. Creatures such as huge spiders may come to piles of meat, while unicorns may come to piles of seed.
• Some animals have various conditions that affect their strengths and weaknesses.
• Bred animals can have traits that normally spawned animals do not have.
• Most animals have ages of young, adolescent, mature, aged, old, or venerable.
• Animal can be normally fed, fat, or starving. Starving animals will not give any meat when butchered, and some animals can die of starvation.

Leading

• Using a rope or mooring rope on some animals will let you lead it around behind you. To do this you activate the rope, open the context menu on the animal, and choose "Lead".
• You can lead many types of creatures without taming the creature. Leadable creatures include all tamed animals as well as those listed in the table below.
• You can lead up to four animals at a time. With a rope you need a different one for each animal. Where as, a single Mooring rope can lead four animals.
• Only the commander of a boat or cart can lead animals. Passengers are not able to lead animals.

Table

Fighting skill (FS) ranking estimated; proceed with caution. The amount of skill required to kill an animal will also vary greatly depending on the player's equipped weapons and their quality levels.
