This is a big update during which I completely rewrote the mod. I did this not just to add 9 new creatures, but also so that I could make the mod as configurable as possible. Now with the new config options, you are able to pick and choose what creatures you want in your game, as well as their rarity, and the damage they do, if any. Making for a more customizable experience with the mod.
List of new creatures added:
Spoiler:

Little Penguin Poison Frog (with 7 variants) Goliath Birdeater Blue Jay Loon (with sound effect) Canada Goose (with sound effect) Moose (with 2 variants) (with sound effect) Phoenix Wendigo
Thanks for playing the mod and all of the support that I have received, I hope you all enjoy and let me know if there is anything else that you'd like to see added to the game.
When I tell you I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the wendigo, I mean it! I didn't know which mod it came from at first, I was running for my life when I saw it. It gives me great comfort know that it's only a catchable creature from this mod. Good work, I have goosebumps now. 😅
It took me ages to work out what to do with moose antlers. I had 2 on my farm, I caught them. And clearly they didn't stay alive - I got just the antlers. I can't donate them to the insectarium. I can't sell them as they have no value. They can't be mounted on the wall as decoration (honestly crafting them into a mountable wall decoration would be cool). They can't be turned into anything using the terrarium function. Eventually I worked it out...they're a hat. Moose antlers for your head. At least they have a purpose, but would have liked to put them up on the wall.
Hey! Absolutely fair enough, I can make them have more of a function in the game in a later update. Decorations would be cool to have of the antlers, thank you for your recommendations!
Hey, it sounds like you might not have properly removed the old version of the mod when updating. The old version had 2 folders (one CP one NV) the new version should only have one folder (CP), if you still have an (NV) folder then that is probably causing the issue.
If you are sure you don't have an (NV) folder then let me know.
I personally feel like one of the creatures is too deadly (didn't get a good look at what it was) would be nice to get a config to make them kill you a little slower Otherwise great mod!
I second this.. its some little spider creature that randomly pops up and i can't hit it with my sword and I've lost quite a few rare/hard to get items because of it and i've lost a few thousand gold from being revived because of it and i'm absolutely pissed off.
Can anyone tell me how to delete this stupid creature otherwise i'm just going to remove the mod because regardless of all the adorable animals that you can catch.. i'm not willing to have this game become a source of absolute rage for me and because of this stupid creature it's getting there really freaking quick.
Absolutely fair enough! There will be a config option in the future to make your experience a little bit better. Thank you for the feedback! To MithraG, while I understand your frustrations with dying, and losing gold and items, I don't think you need to be getting so necessarily angry about it. I'll make updates and provide whatever assistance is needed, but at the end of the day, it is just a mod, and while I appreciate you downloading it, you don't have to keep playing with it. For further information, if you wanted to remove that particular creature from the mod you can delete the "tarantula" line in the content.json file in the NV pack folder. Thank you.
I just wanted to add that I was very surprised that any of these animals did so much damage. Almost died myself in town buying things from pierre. Probably going to skip this mod for this reason. Also, I looked quickly, but is it listed anywhere that you can get hurt by the added creatures? It really should be anyway on the description page.
I play only 10% zoomed out, but I had not idea what was hitting me. I don't really want to die walking home from the mines or by a creature I can't use my sword on. Since I am just starting this save, I don't have any money to buy the net, if that is what you need.
Hello! I know it might seem weird but- did you consider option/optional mod akin to Integrated Wildlife which would allow to exclude certain animals? It feels really weird to be able to put some of them into the terrarium - and I would hate to not have tarantula as a catchable option.
Hey! No absolutely understandable, I'll include that in the next update so you'll be able to exclude some animals from being catchable. Thank you for the feedback!
Haven't touched Stardew in months, refresh mods folder completely to start up again and first night I'm nearly killed by a demonic looking bird! Was running around begging for mercy, nearly in tears, lost and unable to use the map cause was afraid of this weird bird out for my blood.
10/10 experience, would be traumatized by evil incarnate again.
Hello! Just wanted to say, lovely sub-mod! And also wanted to suggest to move horseshoe bats from lobby to cave and forest, I feel like lobby is plenty packed with rats, crows and magpies xD (on side note, magpie might be renamed to Australian to distinct it from regular one)
Hey, thank you so much! Completely understandable, I can move the horseshoe bat to the forest area in the Insectarium so it would be less crowded in there, and when I make an update I'll add that to the name for the magpie. Thanks again!
Oh yeah! That one is a little trickier to catch, it is very skittish, meaning the range in which it's spooked is quite low. Just be patient, and slow.. you've got this! :)
