Animals

Animals are a central feature of the American wilderness. Fauna comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and occupy wild areas throughout the gameplay. Some animals have been domesticated by the inhabitants of the American west, and serve as pets, transportation or livestock. Other animals cluster together in the wild in packs, herds and flocks.

Predators will attempt to hunt and kill other animals and human NPCs, as well as the player.

All species of animals can be hunted and killed. Many of these animals can be skinned, and have their pelt sold to merchants for cash.

Horses are unique animals, and can be encountered in the wilderness, captured, tamed and ridden by the player. Horses also come in distinct breeds, with varying performance characteristics.
