PRM Faction: Wildlife

Wildlife in the game is not any one unified faction, but rather the collection of unaligned creatures that comprise the natural life on the planet. While it may be extended to include other non or semi-sentient creatures, it is uses here to refer to creatures of terrestrial origin.

Wildlife in the core game is a source of food and early game conflict. Though gone are the days when moose and bears ran around cities killing hordes of zombies and the player, a special spot still exists for these creatures. Most wildlife is unarmored and have a relatively low attack compared to invaders and (n)pcs, and when coupled with their skittish nature makes them weak combatants. Many eventually go extinct if the game is splayed long enough, and several have zombie versions in the core game.

In the PRM mod, wildlife also have fungal analogues. Their base attacks have been improved with either effects, special attacks, or damage buffs. Some wildlife have the distinction of having rare stabbing damage. Wildlife in PRM don't quite have the umpf to pose a threat to endgame characters (though some may 'mutate' into something much more dangerous), but they do pack more of a wallop to challenge players.

Wildlife in the game serves as a food source and as a way to train skills. Wildlife provides hope for a state of normalcy one day, and provide raw materials to a society that suddenly finds itself lacking any real industry.

PRM Faction: Mutants

Mutants, or terrestrial creatures with a gross change in physiology, are hybrids between natural and unnatural life. Some changes are entirely aesthetic, such as cat ears on a person, while others are eldritch in nature, such as twitching bodies or slug men or jabberwocks. Mutants are technically wildlife for the most part; and most mutants have terrestrial antecessors. The line between wildlife and mutant is drawn at how plausible its presence in the real world would be. Mutants are a faction separate from wildlife, and may be hunted down while their more natural cousins are not.

Most mutants are adapted to living in especially toxic or harsh environments, and as such are at the least resistant to chemicals or better armored or possessing new attacks. They range from the small, extra limbed scythed coyote to the abhorrent sludge crawler; from almost possible in the real world to grossly alien.

Rooster

Being unaligned, mostly nonsentient monsters, mutants and wildlife share the least amount of similarity of all the groupings of the game. most exist to provide a minor threat, ambiance, meat, or simply to die at the hands of other creatures; thus showcasing their own prowess.

Some are wholly hostile to the player, several are hostile to all life, and some are completely passive in nature, even under direct attack. These creatures add flavor to the game, and serve to make the world outside the cities and reach of the fungus and triffids come alive.

 Perhaps the largest untapped potential in current CDDA is the variety of creatures in the game.

Evolution

Most creatures that fall under the category of do not evlove in the sense conventional to the game; instead, under the mod, they evolve into a fan of creatures to simulate the furthering corruption of the world.

Mannequin	100		80	Poor	Moderate	Average	Low	High acid	Grab

The mannequin is a hallucination. It exists in your dreams and nightmares, clinging to the irrationality of the human soul.

Rats

Variant	Speed	Damage	Health	Dodge	Aggression	Morale	Physical Armor	Special Attacks	Angered By	Fear Of
Black Rat	100	2d2 bash, 1 cut	8	Competent	Low	Abysmal	Low cut	Bite	Target Hurt, Hurt, Faction Attacked, Faction Died	Target Close

Rat King	40	1d3 bash, 1 cut	220	Zero	None	Average	Low bash	Unhealth, Ratkeeng, Spawn Rat	Hurt, Faction Attacked, Faction Died, Stalk	Target Close

Rats are rodents in the post-apocalypse. Rats typically falls into a few broad categories; the clean and the unclean. Clean black rats wander the surface of the world and, while still of dubious cleanliness, do not wallow in filth and will hunt as any surface scavenger will. Sewer rats, or those that hide in the dark places of the world, are unclean monsters that will swarm over a target, causing disease-ridden wounds and lowering health.

Rat King is a minor boss monster, a clump of rodents that represent a hive-mind mutation in progress. Capable of cursing its target, rat king is a threat to unprepared early game survivors.

Large Mammals

Variant	Speed	Damage	Health	Dodge	Aggression	Morale	Physical Armor	Special Armor	Special Attacks	Angered By	Fear Of
Horse	210	2d8 bash, 10 stab	110	Poor	Passive	Suspect	Low	Low acid		Faction Died,. Faction Attacked	Sound, Target Hurt (placate)

Moose	200	3d6 bash, 3 cut	170	Poor	Passive	Below Average	Low	Low acid	Smash	Hurt, Close, Fire, Faction Attacked	Target Hurt

Large mammals, those considered 'large; by the game (cow-battletank sized) are the various surviving wildlife of the world. Most are primary prey for the invaders in some fashion. The player hunts them for their meat, the fungus seeks to infect them, the triffids invade their habitat and the blob relentlessly seeks to convert them in death.

Most are capable of killing an unskilled or underarmed survivor, but by midgame they are relatively easy to handle. Some, such as the horse, are known for their ability to cause grievous amounts of pain and damage before fleeing. Cougars are known for their ability in previous games to dodge around players and harry them to death.

 Most wildlife will go extinct in PRM, should the world become old enough, replaced by zombified versions or mutations.  Or not at all.

Canines

Variant	Speed	Damage	Health	Dodge	Aggression	Morale	Physical Armor	Special Attacks	Angered By	Fear Of
Dog	170	2d3 bash, 3 cut	35	Competent	Low	Abysmal			Hurt, Faction Attacked, Faction Died, Target Weak	Sound (placate), Meat (placate)

Scythed Coyote	145	2d4 bash, 12 cut	45	Skilled	None	Abysmal	Low	Longswipe, Impale, Leap 3tile	Faction Attacked, Target Hurt, Close	Hurt, Faction Died

Canines are coyotes and wolves and feral dogs who survived the fall of man. Most have had to adapt quickly to the new world, and many are on their way to the extinction list as the game progresses in very late game.

 The dwarf and scythed coyote are mutations of the original coyotes, and are not a real challenge for a survivor by the time they are encountered.
