Bestiary Entry

Wanderer

Danger level: 20%

Wanderers are passive creatures, with a great curiousity for the world around them, especially in their early life. You'll find them running around all over the place, attempting to learn more about a biome, before moving onto the next one.

As Wanderers grow old, they'll often find a place to settle down before having offspring, burying themselves in the ground and building a nest. Wanderers have been known to settle everywhere on Ooblterra, and often in places that are vast distances away from their place of birth.

Generally speaking, Wanderers will not attack, even if provoked, instead opting to run and hide from the threat. Notable exception to if

[INTERNAL ERROR 0x416a: TEXT CORRUPTED]

Strategy

Wanderers pose zero threat to players, and will simply wander harmlessly on the surface of Ooblterra. Killing them, however, will net the player a rather valuable Wanderer Corpse. It is recommended to use the 56 Shovel for this purpose, as it will kill the Wanderer instantly; otherwise, the Wanderer will run constantly away from the player who attacked it, making it harder to track down and finish off. If they must be killed using a standard shovel or knife, pass the weapon to a teammate after hitting it; the Wanderer will only avoid the player who hit it, not anyone holding a weapon.
