The Forest – Hostile Animals

Hostile Animals

Boars

Similar to the crocodile, the boar is an aggressive animal capable of attacking and damaging the player. If the player stays in the vicinity of a boar for too long, it will make a squealing sound and start to charge towards the player. If the boar hits the player with its charge, it deals a moderate amount of damage to the player’s health. After a charge (regardless of whether it successfully hits the player), the animal retreats a small distance before attacking again or wandering off.

Crocodiles

Crocodiles can be found scattered around the northern parts of the river that flows through the peninsula, though they will almost never be found in the water. They drop 4 lizard skin and 4 meat if killed, along with their head that can be used for decoration. Crocodiles have one of the rarest spawn rates of all huntable animals.

Sharks

Sharks can typically be seen swimming long before the player is in any danger due to their tell-tale dark shape in the water. If the player gets too close, a shark will turn and charge towards them. A hit from the shark will destroy half of the player’s health regardless of armor worn, but long as some distance is kept, they ignore the player. The player has to be rather close to the shark in order to provoke a bite, and bites can be dodged by jerking to the left as it tries to bite you. It will not immediately try to bite again, but will instead swim off for a bit. Sharks can be killed from the shore or any platform out of the water with 2-3 arrows (spears do not work). The shark will flail with each hit and, when dead, the body will sink to the bottom. Tip: set your ocean quality to flat to easily see sharks and other creatures/objects underwater.
