PRM Faction: Wildlife

PRM Faction: Wildlife

 Wildlife in the game is not any one unified faction, but rather the collection of unalligned 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 orgin.

 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 whallop 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 normalacy one day, and provide raw materials to a society that suddenly finds itself lacking any real industry.
