Devlog 47: 🐄 New Animals & Animal Mutations

Hello Pachan friends, We’re back with another Pachan Prophecy! Today, we’ll share some details about the animals in the 1.3 update. As always, if you want to be surprised by the new animals you encounter, take this as your 'spoiler alert' warning from here on.

It’s easy to fall in love with the animals we encounter in the wild. Many of us have since befriended these lovely creatures, inviting them to live with us either as pets or on our farms. So, of course, the new regions needed to have some new animals. Who wouldn’t want a dodo as a pet? 😀

New Animals

With this new update, we’re introducing four new animals to the game. Dodo, mouflon (ancient sheep), sivatherium (ancient giant giraffe), and panda.

New Farm Animal

The mouflon can still be found in our world today, but its ancient history plays an important role. Considered one of the ancestors of modern-day sheep, it will join your farm once you befriend it. You’ll encounter this fine-footed friend in the mountainous region that the Mograni’s call home.

New Pets

The sivatherium was suggested by a Kickstarter backer who pledged at the animal tamer tier and chose it for its prehistoric awesomeness. You’ll be able to find this new animal in the lowlands of the Tundra. Though it may resemble a reindeer, this prehistoric pal is actually more closely related to a giraffe and okapi.

The fabulous, feathered friend, the dodo will live in our homes and become our pet. But don’t worry, your cave lions and wolves will treat them as friends, not food.

The panda was another fantastic suggestion by a Kickstarter animal tamer tier backer. As we explored its prehistoric origins, this animal became even more intriguing. Fossils of these bi-colored bears have been discovered in Asia and Eastern Europe. While their evolutionary roots remain a mystery, their undeniable cool factor is timeless.

Evolution through Domestication

As you explore the new caves mentioned in a previous post, you’ll come across items allowing you to breed animals in a new way. For example, you’ll be able to breed goats from your forest ibex and sheep from the new mouflon, which you’ll encounter in the Tundra.

We hope you’ll enjoy meeting these cuties. We sure did enjoy making them!

Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for more prophecies.
