🍖 Carnivores: Hunting & Scavenging

Carnivores live and die by the hunt. They cannot eat plants or insects, meaning their only food source is flesh. This makes them powerful but also highly dependent on finding prey.

🥩 Food Sources

• Hunting Prey: The most direct source of food. Carnivores can chase and kill other animals to feed. However, hunting is risky and uses stamina, leaving you vulnerable if unsuccessful.

• Carcass Spawns: Scattered across the map are permanent carcass spawn points. These provide a consistent food source, especially useful in private or low-population servers where hunts are rare.

• Scavenging: Carnivores can also feed on the remains of kills made by others. While it may yield less food than a fresh hunt, scavenging is safer and still fills your food bar.

🐾 Hunting Challenges

• Hunting requires careful stamina management — chasing prey too long can leave you defenseless.

• Prey often stick near water and food sources, so predators need to stalk and ambush effectively.

• Competing predators may attack you while you feed, making timing important.

🦁 Strategy Tips

• Look for carcass spawn locations as backup food when hunts fail.

• Pick your targets wisely — don’t waste energy on prey you cannot catch.

• Use stealth and the environment to ambush, instead of relying on speed alone.

• In high-population servers, scavenging is often more reliable than hunting.

✅ Summary
Carnivores thrive on meat, whether hunted or scavenged. Learning the balance between active hunting and passive scavenging is the key to surviving long-term as a predator.
