Many animals live on the island, and most of them can be attacked. Animals move around periodically. Some animals will run away if they are attacked, some will retaliate, and some will attack without provocation. Sleeping near a tiger or elephant is especially dangerous.

Below is a table of all the animals found to date. There may be others to be found, and new animals may be introduced to the island in the future.

When you attack an animal you receive experience points (XP) equal to the damage listed for the weapon you used. Killing an animal yields an additional bonus, as listed in the "XP Bonus" column. (For example, if a monkey has 1 HP remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totalling 11.)

Unseen animals

Sharks cannot be seen or attacked. They have a random chance to attack instantly when a player swims in deep water. Its attacks deal 2 HP damage, and the resulting wounds deal 1 HP damage per action until they are healed with a first aid kit or healing herbs or until the player dies. The effects of wounds are not cumulative.

Poisonous snakes cannot be seen or attacked. They have a random chance to bite the player when they are searching Grasslands. Their bites deal 3 HP damage. Poisonous snakes are also an item.

Crabs cannot be seen or attacked. They have a random chance to pinch the player when they are searching Beaches. Their pinch deal 1 HP damage. Crabs are also an item.

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!
