Other Residents
There's plenty critters to find on an old farm, and very few of 'em are good news for a mouse.
Overview
The farm is populated by a number of critters. Some of them provide valuable resources. Others can be tamed for transportation or work - still others are just plain dangerous. Most others, actually. A note to mods and players alike - the listing here is intended as a guideline more than a set of hard and fast rules. When choosing what to do, make sure your story is one that is challenging and surprising, interesting and complex, but not punishing (Or overeasy.) Have fun!
Varmints
Creature | Found | Description | VIT | STR | INT | PER | DEX | CON | Drops |
Rats | Beyond the Colony | Fellow rodents, but they've been known to eat mice. On rare occasion a peaceful rat may be allowed in the colony, but they're never trusted. (Playable) | 7 | 3 | -1 | 1 | -1 | 0 | Gore, Pelt, Bone, Crude Weapons |
Diewell | Barn, Wheat Fields | The meanest sonuvabitch tomcat on the whole farm. Missing an ear and golden as wheat, beware the claxon of his black-belled collar. | 50 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 0 | Gore, Pelt, Bone, Diewell's Collar |
Barn Cats | Barn, Wheat Fields, Farmhouse | The bane of small creatures everywhere, but especially mice. At least they aren't as bad as Diewell. | 30 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 0 | Gore, Pelt, Bone, Cat Collar |
Rat Snakes | Barn, Wheat Fields | Stealthy and hungry, but hey - at least they aren't poisonous. | 15 | 2 | -1 | 0 | 3 | 0 | Gore, Scales, Teeth |
Cottonmouth | Wheat Fields | Stealthy and deadly. Without the antivenom, a single bite is deadly. | 15 | 2 | -1 | 0 | 3 | 0 | Gore, Scales, Fangs, Venom |
Sparrows | Everywhere | Blessedly harmless. Wild ones are useless, but a tamed sparrow is a valuable mount. | 5 | 0 | -2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | Gore, Feathers |
The Hawk | Beyond the Colony | A high-soaring predator that seems to swoop down from nowhere, with no warning, then disappear again. | 40 | 4 | -2 | 3 | 3 | -2 | Gore, Feathers, Talons |
Minnows | Creek | Dumb little fish that flit through the creek and make a good snack. | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Gore |
