Creatures

Fortuna III is home to a broad variety of wildlife. Almost all of which has one thing in common: It enjoys eating anyone foolish enough to step foot on the surface of the planet. The planet is also home to a few different species of non-hostile creatures, which don't mind the presence of a prospector. Prospect Station also has two unique creatures which can't be found anywhere else.

Hostile Creatures

This group of creatures contains all hostile creatures. Hostile creatures attack on sight or sound if the prospector is close enough. They do not attack each other. Which creature can be found in a specific location and its amount is determined by the Danger Level of the area. In high or extreme danger area's there can sometimes be stronger variants of a creature.

Passive Creatures

Passive creatures are creatures that do not attack anything and cannot be damaged or killed. They are simply part of the non-hostile lifeforms on the planet. Some of the passive creatures do have an additional function, such as the Birds which function as a sound trap: alerting anything nearby if a prospector gets close and flying away.
