Animals

There are a number of animals around the island, most of which can be attacked. Animals move around periodically. Stronger animals attack characters in their square at occasional intervals, while other animals tend to run away. Sleeping near a tiger or elephant is especially dangerous.

These are only the animals that have been spotted so far; it's possible that there are others to be found.

Animal	Max HP	Damage	XP Bonus	Location	Notes
Alligator	25	3	10	Swamp	Aggressive. Every half hour the alligator appears to make two attack attempts for 3 damage each (perhaps each at 45% chance to hit). In 22 half hour increments, I think that the alligator missed 4 times, hit once 17 times, and hit twice 1 time.
Deer, large	30	1	10	Jungle
Deer, small	15	1	10	Jungle
Easter Bunny	30	4	28	Grassland, Jungle	Believed to be hunted to extinction shortly after Easter.
Elephant	60	4	25	Grassland, Jungle	Aggressive; attacks unprovoked.
Monkey	10	1	8	Jungle
Parrot	5	1	5	Jungle
Rat	3	1	?	Tunnel, Cave	Aggressive. Attacks in packs.
Shark	n/a	*	n/a	Deep Water	Cannot be seen or attacked. Wounds cause 1 hp damage per action, and can only be treated by first-aid kits or healing herbs.
Stag, large	15	2	10	Jungle
Tiger	20	3	14	Jungle	Aggressive; attacks unprovoked.
Wild boar	15	2	10	Jungle	Aggressive; attacks unprovoked.

When attacking animals, you receive experience equal to the damage that you inflict. If you kill an animal, you receive an additional bonus, as listed in the XP Bonus column (in addition to XP equal to weapon damage).

Shark Bites

When you swim in deep water there is a chance that you will be attacked by an unseen shark. These attacks deal 2 HP damage to the player and also causes a wound that must be healed with a first aid kit or healing herbs. If left untreated, it will continue to cause 1 HP damage to the character for every action that they perform.

Punching Large Animals

When missing a punch against an elephant, large stag, or tiger, special messages may display:

• You attack the elephant and miss. Suddenly attacking the elephant with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!
• You attack the elephant and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the elephant with your bare hands might be considered crazy!
