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.
- 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, old, aged, and venerable.
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.

Notes
- Creatures can be examined to determine their wounds, if any (look at their equipment to see the body with wounds).
- Some rare creatures will drop unique items when killed, some of which are highly valuable.
