Nocturnal Animals

[Palisight 34]

Its recently come to my attention that dunkleosteus is moving monsters underground and making the overworld dangerous due to animals (I'm guessing he has been talking about this on his youtube series)

 

Anyway to replace the danger caused by monsters that attack at night, we need nocturnal animals that are dangerous to people

 

Bears

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloth_bear

 

Most bears are naturally dinural. In North America, people tend to think bears are nocturnal, but that is only because most bears actively avoid people and modern bears have adapted to human civilization. The Sloth bear is the only naturally nocturnal bear (to the best of my knowledge) that would not be nocturnal in a world void of human civilization. They don't eat people, but they are territorial, so they could still be hostile

 

Dangerous Cat Options

I think the nocturnal nature of modern tigers might be a effect of human civilization like it has been for bears

 

Hyenas

Wolves

 

I have no idea about what to do about replacing skeletons as a overworld mob....................

Skeletons aren't so different that they need to have an animal made to replace them.

Moving the monsters underground should leave some time to relax to players, so I would suggest to add animals that only react and attack you when you enter in their territory. Note: I'm not saying that you suggested animals that come to attack you. I just suggested what I'd like to see, because an hostile animal that comes in your area to attack you while you build something becomes kind of annoying if it happens often.

It's not necessarily you that the animals want, it's probably your food. Whether you have a problem with THEM is the issue.

As long as I am able to build animal resistant fences I am OK with any Dangerous animal.

I mean I should be able to protect myself and my property from animal attacks

do you intend to add animal's natural home? (grottos for bears, nests for birds, horses and cows already have theirs (the plains), rocks cliff for wolves/grottos, dirt holes for boars)

finding one during exploration is sign that the animal can just be nearby or out hunting

 

or vice versa. finding wild one is hint for their home/family nearby.

And you can steal from wild bird' nests too!

...

What?  I like eggs.

I really like this idea, it could be one of the earliest sources of food, that one that prevents you from dying the first night, and the second, and the third...

But if you do this with birds around, some could start attacking you.

I just can't wait to see what animals are coming to B79.

Are we going to have Lions and Tigers?

One way or another is going to be great.

[landryx 36]

Can't wait too

but for lions and tigers, not sure hehe. Dunk has only shown, on his twitter account, a new bear and fish model..
