Revision 2

Wild beasts are the wildlife of Solace that remains untouched by the enemy faction's corruption. The Creatures of Fatekeeper dev blog reserves space for them explicitly: beneath the shadow of war, creatures still roam, wild, untamed, and alive. Some hunt, some flee, and some, against all odds, remain unbroken. Wild beasts are part of why exploration in Solace feels alive rather than lifeless.

What They Are

• Untainted. Distinct from corrupted wildlife.

• Variable behavior. Some hunt the Druid, some flee, some are bystanders.

• Living world. Their presence is what keeps Solace from feeling fully war-blasted.

Combat Tips

• Don't always fight. Some wild beasts are not hostile; pre-launch material implies a flee/ignore option for non-aggressive creatures.

• Hunt for ingredients. Some wild beasts likely drop ingredients used in alchemy.

• Read body language. A predator about to charge looks different from one about to flee; the Druid's reaction window depends on reading correctly.

Connection to the Macro Plot

The survival of unbroken wildlife is part of what the Druid fights for, not just against. Pre-launch material frames the Druid's path as a battle for what survives, and wild beasts are the most concrete embodiment of that survival half of the conflict.
