\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Habitat Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White Stag inhabits lake-adjacent forest edges and open lakeside clearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This area typically features shallow water zones, soft soil, and dense but low-height vegetation near the waterline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate & Temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lake area maintains a cool and temperate climate, with relatively stable temperatures throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morning fog and light humidity are common, especially near the water surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetation & Natural Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical vegetation includes reeds, soft grass, low shrubs, and berry-bearing plants<\/strong> near the lake edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trees are spaced further apart, allowing sunlight to reach the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential In-Game Resources\uff1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Collectible berries or plants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Visual materials (reeds, grass movement)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Ground textures (wet soil, trampled grass)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realistic Animal Behavior Reference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In real ecosystems, deer are cautious and observant animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They often move slowly, pause frequently, and remain alert to environmental sounds rather than fleeing immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Egret<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Habitat Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great egret typically lives near water edges and marshy lakes where shallow water, and reeds provide a comfortable area for wading and feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate & Temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These environments tend to be warm temperate to mild, with steady humidity near water surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetation & Natural Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetation around these areas includes shallow aquatic plants, reeds, marsh grasses, and patches of low shrubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential In-Game Resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Aquatic plants and algae<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Reeds and shoreline vegetation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Wet ground and shallow water textures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Subtle water movement and ripple visuals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realistic Animal Behavior Reference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great egrets feed and stand in shallow water and build tree nests close to water. For the game, placing the egret\u2019s leg entangled in algae logically follows from its water-edge habitat and slow, careful wading behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Habitat Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peacocks thrive in open fields and forest edges with access to light and scattered vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate & Temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warm, open clearing environment supports vibrant plant colours and bird display behaviours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetation & Natural Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetation includes grasses, wildflowers, and low shrubs that provide natural pigments and visual variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential In-Game Resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Flowers and pigment-rich plants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Feather-based visual materials<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Soft soil and decorative ground cover<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Peacock diet: rice grains, sprouts, grass seeds, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realistic Animal Behavior Reference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peacocks are known for visual display and plumage, making repainting feathers in-world logically tied to their behavioural ecology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Habitat Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gypsy Horse type inhabits grassy clearings and edges, where fruit and edible vegetation grow at reachable heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate & Temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm open spaces with intermittent shade allow robust plant and tree growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetation & Natural Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetation includes grass, shrubs, and fruit-bearing branches within reach or slightly above reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential In-Game Resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Grasslands and grazing plants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Fallen fruits and low vegetation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Trampled grass ground textures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horses are grazing animals, instead, the horse is drawn to fallen or partially reachable fruit but remains cautious of unstable surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Habitat Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelicans are commonly found near lakes, coastal waters, and large bodies of shallow water, where they can easily hunt for fish. They often stay close to shorelines or calm water areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate & Temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelicans prefer mild to warm climates, as stable temperatures support consistent fish populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetation & Natural Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cliffside areas yield twigs, grass stems, and light vegetation fragments after storms. The surrounding environment usually includes reeds, aquatic plants, shallow water algae, and small fish populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential In-Game Resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Twigs, branches, and nesting materials<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Wind-exposed vegetation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Rocky ground and cliff textures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Broken or abandoned nest visual assets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realistic Animal Behavior Reference<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cormorants rebuild nests from available materials. Pelicans are known for staying near water for long periods while fishing and resting, making them naturally integrated into lake-based gameplay moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Arctic Wolf<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Habitat Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arctic wolf is native to tundra and cold regions, but within the game\u2019s cliffside biome, a similar grey-wolf type can be found where cooler winds and rocky shelter provide habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate & Temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cliffside areas are influenced by strong winds and lower temperatures, causing slower decomposition and allowing vines\/flowers to overgrow remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetation & Natural Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetation comprises cliffside shrubs, hardy vines, moss, and occasional flowers that grow in crevices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential In-Game Resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Wild vines and overgrown plants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Stone and root-covered ground textures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Environmental storytelling assets (bones, withered plants)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \u2022       Quiet ambient elements (wind, distant sounds)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
