They tend to stay on the ground rather than flying and you're liable to end up dead if you sleep near one. They also lay large eggs that (with sufficient warmth) will hatch within a few days. A baby shargle is almost as dangerous as an adult.

@@ Line 2: / Line 2: @@
 Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.
-Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.
 Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.
