Beast

Most standard animals in the game are beasts, such as bears, wolves, raptors, etc.

• Nearly all beasts can be skinned, with the exception of intelligent beasts, most birds, and some insects.
• Trolls have a Beastslaying racial trait that gives them bonus attack power against beasts.
• Enchanters can enchant weapons with Beastslaying, which gives the player bonus attack power against beasts, and also causes their weapon to glow red.
• Not all are hostile. Some will only attack if you attack them or another nearby creature first.
• Can be polymorphed by mages.
• Can be tracked and scared by hunters.
• Can be hibernated and soothed by druids.
