Animals comprise various mundane creatures that have no magical or weapon-wielding abilities. They represent a large variety of creatures, with different degrees of aggressiveness and a wide range of habitats. All animals are modeled upon real present-day or historical animals on Earth, and rely exclusively upon natural physical attacks (claws, fangs, horns, hooves, paws, etc.).

Animal behavior is organized into three ranks: Hostile, in which the animal will attack on sight; Neutral, in which the animal will only attack when provoked by proximity or direct harm; and Passive, in which the animal will never attack (passive animals are also always level 1 and will die in one hit). Note that in certain locations, a particular animal may be neutral while others of its kind elsewhere are hostile. There are also a few cases of two distinctly different animals having the same name. For example, the small, non-hostile spider may be killed for bait, while the large, hostile spider has more variable drops (such as armor or weapons).
