== Spawning and behavior ==
* There are basically two types of creatures in Wurm: normal animals which can be [[Animal taming|tamed]] (and are usually based on real-world domesticated animals) and monsters which cannot be tamed (and are sometimes also known in the real world) but can often can be [[dominate]]d.
* Most creatures [[spawn]] in [[lair]]s.
* Most creatures like to avoid civilized areas and will have a reduced spawn rate near such areas. [[Farming|Farmlands]] do not spawn creatures at all.
