Wildlife+ [Crocuta]

Wildlife+ is a series of mods intending to expand the current roster of wildlife in game. This entry adds in two entirely new factions and six individual creatures to the game, building on the current roll call of canines.

Faction Overview

The Hyaenidae faction currently includes four members, the Dire hyena, the Slough hyena, the Grievous hyena and the Fell hyena. They are found in various places throughout the world and vary in size, speed and strength. The Hyaenidae factions relation with the Wolves (aka bonedog) faction lies in the negatives, meaning it isn't uncommon to find the two species fighting turf wars out in the wild. Dire hyenas have even been seen integrated into rebel farmer patrols.

The Crocuta faction currently includes two members, the Orion crocuta, and the Verglas crocuta. They are large and dangerous beasts, who lurk in solemn areas of the globe. Orion crocuta can be found in Skinner's roam hunting bulls they find there, whereas the Verglas crocuta has evolved to live in such a hostile environment as the Ashlands. The former can be hunted for their pelt, whereas the latter can be looted for their claws, which sell for high prices... if you can kill one. They are also extremely hostile to any animal that falls under the herbivore faction.

Other features

Included is a custom start, regarding a holy nation drifter with three hyena companions. "Having tamed and trained many hyenas across the Holy lands in their time, this drifter has longed to see the outside world despite all the warnings his brothers and sisters shared. With three of his most loyal and obedient beasts by his side, he sets off to explore the outer regions of the world."

Hyenas/crocuta can also wear backpacks! You'll find these backpacks in places you regularly find them. Hyena backpacks are smaller than crocuta ones, and carry less weight.

You can tame any of these animals in a similar fashion to TameBeasties by placing them inside a cage and talking to them.
