Bestiary

All 29 Flora Ferox creatures, grouped by where they live. Stats are health / attack / armour. Each creature takes full damage from its family's weakness and half from everything else:

• Pulse: weak to ranged.
• Dusk: weak to magic.
• Moon: weak to summons.
• Mire: weak to melee.

Every creature is hostile unless marked neutral. A neutral creature leaves you alone until you hit it, and then it calls its kind within 16 blocks. Minibosses give 50 XP (the others give 6), have no boss bar and never despawn. Unless noted, every creature drops its family token (50%) and seeds (30%).
