Wildlife

For information on The Save the World versions, see Wildlife (Save the World).

Wildlife (also known as Animals) are NPCs first introduced in Chapter 2: Season 3, and expanded upon in Chapter 2: Season 6.

Wolves, Boar, Raptors, and Sharks can be ridden, making them function as Vehicles.

Description[]

Wildlife are a type of NPC which will roam around certain areas of the map, Some wildlife are AIs and can potentially attack or flee from the player when they get close. Wildlife has a wide range of uses, from mobility, to taming them to aid in battle. The most common use of Wildlife however is for Meat. Players can tame most Wildlife using Meat, and with the aid of a Hunter's Cloak.

Players can ride certain wildlife, which enables them to control the animal as if they were a vehicle. This method also instantly tames the wildlife, but doesn't allow the player to tame more than one. Riding a wildlife allows the player to move in any direction, jump and sprint. Animals have a stamina bar which stops them moving if depleted. This bar must be refilled with Meat. Riding on an animal allows the player to use all items that they can normally, even allowing Healing Items to be used whilst moving. The player can also build in this state. When an wildlife's health bar reaches zero, it will be eliminated, but the wildlife can be healed via Chug Splash, a Campfire, or any other method of healing another player.

Trivia[]

Chicken[]

The chickens are codenamed as "Nug", a joke with chicken nuggets.
When an Alien Parasite is attached to a chicken, the chicken can 'lay' parasite eggs.
Chickens will not become hostile towards a player during a match if they don't kill a single chicken.
If an enemy shoots the player's chicken, they will immediately fall to the ground, likely taking fall damage. Squad members can also shoot and eliminate the chicken.
Being able to glide with a chicken is inspired by a similar action in The Legend of Zelda series, where Link can use a Cucco to float gently.
While gliding with a chicken, it can be heard clucking the tune of Ride of the Valkyries in reference to the movie Apocalypse Now (1979). It can also cluck the tune of The Blue Danube.
- This is the same song used by the Loudspeaker on the Choppa.
Chickens can also become hostile if they take damage from The Storm.
Accessing the Mod Bench while holding a chicken will have a humorous message in the mod menu: "Tragically, this chicken is not moddable :(". The chicken is also given a weapon type of "Just a little guy :)" with a rarity of Bird.

Zombie Chicken[]

The zombie chickens are codenamed as "Nug Z".
When visualize audio is on, the icon is the same for chickens but has a purple arc instead of white.

Wolves[]

Wolves will try to kill Boars and Chickens when they spot them.
Wolves appear in the Zero Crisis Finale, they cannot be attacked, nor do they attack the player during this time.
Wolves are codenamed as "Grandma", in reference to the fairy tale of the Little Red Riding Hood.

Raptor[]

These are Velociraptors which are commonly shortened to "Raptor". It is not to be confused with the group of predatory birds, officially known as "Raptor".
- The inclusion of large sized Velociraptors are likely a reference to Jurassic Park, where at the time of the film's creation, Velociraptors were mistakenly portrayed as several feet tall, when in reality Velociraptors were less than a meter tall.
  - Another Jurassic Park reference is that they are capable of opening doors by themselves, like in a scene from the film.
- It is also possible that Raptors are based on Utahraptor, a large relative of Velociraptor.
There were Raptor egg props scattered throughout the Island, which hatched during Chapter 2: Season 6.

Crows[]

Crows are the first interactive flying Wildlife.
The Loot Pools of the Epic and Legendary glowing Crows update every season.
Crows will often shrink and disappear, in order to de-spawn them. Likely due to a bug, this can occur near the player.

Klombos[]

A Klombo's blowhole could have been seen below Logjam Lumberyard before Covert Cavern was introduced.
Klombos are the largest Wildlife to ever exist in Fortnite.
Klombo is codenamed as "ButterCake".

Alien Parasite[]

Alien Parasites can attach to Boars, Chickens and Wolves, causing it to split off when eliminated by the player. Players can also 'free' these animals by eliminating the parasite.
A throwable Alien Parasite egg was in the works, but was ultimately scrapped. The prompt to collect them could be seen in-game by approaching them.

Other[]

Supply Llamas were introduced in Season 3, but it wasn’t until Chapter 2: Season 7 that they came alive and became Wildlife.
