== Spawning and behavior ==
* There are basically two types of creatures in Wurm: normal animals which can be [[Animal taming|tamed]] (and are usually based on real-world domesticated animals) and monsters which cannot be tamed but can soemtimes sometimes be [[dominate]]d.
* Some creatures [[spawn]] in [[lair]]s or on specific kinds of tiles. Some can also be [[animal husbandry|bred]] by players.
* Most creatures like to avoid civilized areas and will have a reduced spawn rate near such areas.
