The World

Wildlife

Live

Each region has its own designed wildlife, from red deer and wolf packs to whales, mosquitoes and the spirits of the high hills.

Vanilla's zombies, skeletons and creepers don't roam the Caeldun Isles. Each region has its own roster of creatures that fits the land, the climate and the height. Some are dangerous, some are dinner, and some are just birdsong.

Accept the resource pack

Many creatures are repainted by the server's resource pack. Without it, a red deer looks like a camel and a mosquito looks like a bee.

A creature's name only shows when you look straight at it.

The Northlands & Rainlands

The wild country of the big islands and peninsulas: forest, moor and mountain.

Creature	Where	Notes
Highland wolf	Woods and hills	Hunts in packs of three. Dangerous.
Brown bear	Woods, up to the high slopes	Big, strong, and not to be fought lightly.
Red deer	Woods and open hill	Skittish; runs from you. Good hunting.
Forest boar	Woodland	Fights back.
Wild goat	High ground	Screams, and unlike vanilla goats, starts the fight.
Red fox	Woods and edges
Wildcat	Pinewood (Ardveil)	Every untamed cat in the Caeldun Isles is a wildcat.
Frogs & newts	Lochs, ponds and burns	Everywhere near water.
Giant bull frog	Waterside, Northlands	Much bigger than it has any right to be.
Wood spider	Forest
Shore crab	Beaches
Eagle	Overhead	Swoops on you like a phantom.
Robin, blue tit, goldfinch, greenfinch, herring gull	Everywhere	Songbirds and gulls. They drop feathers.

Spirits of the high ground

The higher you climb, the more likely you are to meet things that aren't animals. They're peaceful until provoked.

Spirit	Notes
Forest sprite	A small green spirit that throws magick when attacked. Often carries a gold nugget.
Wandering soul	A lost skeleton, unarmed and unarmoured, that hits very hard once angered. Becomes steadily more common above the treeline.
Soul rider	A wandering soul on a spectral steed. Rarer, and found higher still.

The Outer Isles

Creature	Notes
Wild sheep	Flocks on the machair and moor.
Wild horse & wild donkey	Herds that flee when approached. Worth catching.
Rabbit
Barren skeleton & skeleton archer	Roam the barrens in groups. The archers shoot.
Barrens sprite	A small drifting ghost of the moors that closes in and strikes.
Native huntsman & native shaman	The islands' people. Huntsmen shoot arrows and shamans throw fire. They're at war with the bears, wolves and skeletons as well as with you.
Brown bear, Highland wolf	Fewer than on the mainland.
Shark	In the waters around Dunbarra.

The Spiderholme Isles

Creature	Notes
Black grouse	The only chickens in the world: game birds of the fern country.
Giant spider	Infests the woods of Maigor.
Wood spider, songbirds, gulls
Whale, giant squid, squid herds	In the abyss offshore. See The open ocean.

No wolves, no bears.

The Breadbasket

Tirwenn and Colvane are too small for large animals. There are no bears, wolves or deer, and no hostile humanoids at all. Being warm, they're a breeding ground for smaller things.

Creature	Notes
Mosquito & mosquito swarms	Tiger-striped and bloodthirsty. They bite as they fly past.
Midge swarms	A west-coast summer in one creature.
Shore crab, rock crab	Beaches and rocks.
Toad, newt	Around the hundreds of ponds.
