■ - Rare Monsters adds awesome new creatures to your world, adding danger and rewards.

Features:

More than 8 new creatures: Strange Rabbit, Cursed Bear, Silver Horn, Golden Antelope, Monster Bat, Rusted Machine, Snow Werewolf, Young Snow Werewolf.
New sounds, randomized colors, unique skins, models, and animations for each of them. All of them have received many improvements and are not just copies of vanilla creatures.
A different feel to battles with enemies - the mechanics have been heavily reworked to be more agile and aggressive. You will have to come up with new tactics for close combat.
New mounts, companions, decorations, and armor.
Loot from monsters fits perfectly into the character development process and implies a “risk & reward” system. If you consider yourself strong enough, you can reduce the tedious grind of skins and essences.
This mod is suitable for both old and new worlds. You can safely remove and add it.

Snow Werewolf

■ Spawn: Northern Lands, Snowy Wastes ☆☆☆

■ Drop: Ingredient_Hide_Heavy (6-12), Food_Wildmeat_Raw (3-6), Ingredient_Ice_Essence (10-16), Ingredient_Fabric_Scrap_Cindercloth (5-12), Aures_Throat_Of_Werewolf (1)

■ Throat Of Werewolf can summon unique companions. Salvage to: Ingredient_Fabric_Scrap_Wool (6), Ingredient_Bone_Fragment (3)

■ Lore: Snow Werewolves are bred by the Outlander tribe from white wolves and distorted by their magic. Created to protect the territory from enemy invasions. Fighting fortified cities of cultists is dangerous in itself, but when vicious werewolves roam the surrounding forests, it is doubly dangerous. Their speed, cunning, and intelligence allow them to live effectively in packs, hunting moose and unfortunate travelers. Their howling can be heard for miles around.

■ Taming: defeat a Snow Werewolf, obtain Throat Of Werewolf, place (alt+right click) Mysterious Meat Treat (craft on Chefs Stove) on the floor and use item. Due to the Azura fruit in its composition, the werewolf will be purified and completely change its consciousness. You will be able to use it as a fast riding creature. You can lure it with any food so that it follows you.

Young Snow Werewolf

■ Spawn: Northern Lands, Snowy Wastes ☆☆

■ Drop: Ingredient_Hide_Medium (4-6), Food_Wildmeat_Raw (1-3), Ingredient_Ice_Essence (2-4)

■ Lore: In packs of werewolves, you can often see incredibly large white wolves. They appeared from the mixing of the blood of werewolves and wild white wolves. Young Werewolves are loyal creatures, and once they have found their pack, it is impossible to lure them to your side. Only loners can be attracted by the voice of a werewolf and raw meat.

■ Taming: defeat a Snow Werewolf, obtain Throat Of Werewolf, place (alt+right click) raw meat (fish, chicken, beef, wild meat and any other) on the ground, use the Throat near the meat. The meat will disappear, and your tamed wolf pup will appear in its place. Wolves do not despawn after restart.

Cursed Bear.png

■ Spawn: Temperate Forests and Swamps ☆☆☆

■ Drop: Ingredient_Hide_Heavy (3-6), Food_Wildmeat_Raw (5-8), Ingredient_Void_Essence (10-20), Weapon_Arrow_Crude (1-5), Aures_Empire_Bearscuit (0-1)

■ Lore: After a failed hibernation, bears don't have many options for survival, and hunger drives them to hunt void creatures. This diet causes them to become cursed themselves. Many hunters have not survived encounters with them. Other bears respect them and may form groups with them.

■ Empire Bearscuit is an Easter egg reference to the Pixar film Brave, where a red-haired girl fed her mother cursed food and she turned into a bear. I think you can guess what this food does...

Rusted Machine.png

■ Spawn: Abandoned underground mines ☆☆

■ Drop: Ingredient_Bar_Copper (2-3), Ingredient_Bar_Iron (2-3), Ingredient_Crystal_Red (0-2), Rock_Gem_Ruby (0-1), Aures_Tool_Rusted_Drill (0-1)

■ Lore: The miners sealed the mines and left robotic guards to protect the ore from thieves, intending to return someday. That day never came, and their rusted guardians still patrol the abandoned shafts.

■ The Rusted Drill is an outdated but very effective tool for mass stone mining and mine construction. Unfortunately, it quickly becomes unusable if not properly maintained. Salvage to: Ore_Iron (2), Ingredient_Hide_Light (1), Ingredient_Fabric_Scrap_Linen (1)

Silver Horn

■ Spawn: Azure and Northern Forests ☆☆

■ Drop: Food_Wildmeat_Raw (4-8), Ingredient_Hide_Medium (6-12), Ingredient_Ice_Essence (3-8), Aures_Silver_Horns_Ground (1-1).

■ Lore: Their antlers were painted by a Kweebec farmer for convenience. One day, his herd scattered throughout the area. Some were found, but many strayed too far from home. Predators feared these deer, and they grew to enormous sizes. Silver Horns don't really want to get into fights with people, but it's best not to provoke them.

■ Silver Horns Skull can be used as a bright decoration for your home or as a material for creating a creepy helmet, which comes in two versions: with and without a skull. In terms of characteristics, it is a combination of Thorium and Adamantite. It gives off a very slight glow in the area. Salvage to: Ore_Silver (4), Ingredient_Bone_Fragment (6).

Golden Antelope
■ Spawn: Hot Savannas and Deserts ☆

■ Drop: Food_Wildmeat_Raw (4-8), Ingredient_Hide_Medium (6-12), Ingredient_Fire_Essence (3-8), Ore_Gold (1-4), Aures_Gold_Horns_Ground (1-1).

■ Lore: A mysterious creature that is unaffected by heat and feeds on fiery flowers. Its body is so hot that when it steps on gold, the gold melts and covers its hooves and horns. Elusive and fast, but easy to spot from a distance due to its glow.

■ Gold Horns Skull are similar in meaning to Silver Horns, but have a brighter glow and weaker protection. Salvage to: Ore_Gold (4), Ingredient_Bone_Fragment (6).

■ Taming: You are unlikely to truly tame this wild animal, but you can approach it closely while it sleeps and jump on its back. Golden Antelopes are incredibly fast and will help you traverse the empty southern locations. Be careful not to approach from behind!

Monster Bat.png

■ Spawn: Caves ☆

■ Drop: Ingredient_Hide_Light (3-6), Ingredient_Poop (6-12)

■ Lore: A vicious bat, but very valuable to farmers. It shoots a strange mixture of frost and ultrasound. No one knows how it works, so they try to shoot it as quickly as possible rather than figure out the details.

Strange Rabbit

■ Spawn: Plains and Forests ☆

■ Drop: Ingredient_Hide_Light (6-12), Ingredient_Void_Essence (3-6), Food_Wildmeat_Raw (4-6)

■ Lore: Not all rabbits agree to be an easy source of skins and have seen many battles. Instead of horns, they have grown terrifying claws and fangs, but they will not seek to attack a large opponent first. After all, they are still small, fluffy rabbits... Yes?

Egg Kidnapper.png

■ Spawn: Scarack Scrub and Oasis ☆

■ Trade: Ingredient_Chitin_Sturdy (1 egg), Ingredient_Sac_Venom (2 eggs), Scarak_Hive_Chest (10 eggs)

■ Lore: Different Scaraks families steal eggs from each other and raise offspring for hard slave labor in their nest. Egg thieves are not warriors and will flee underground if attacked. Being intelligent insects, they are also willing to exchange chitin and poison from their dead comrades for these precious cocoons from the player.

Old Mosshorn.png

■ Spawn: Swamps ☆

■ Drop: Food_Wildmeat_Raw (4-6), Ingredient_Hide_Heavy (2-4), Plant_Seeds_Mana/Health/Stamina (0-1)

■ Lore: The longer Mosshorn lives, the more it becomes covered with a thick layer of algae and grass. Some seeds stuck in its fur have even sprouted inside and changed their behavior. Such animals have become more aggressive and territorial.
