Herbivores are creatures that usually eat only plants. They usually rely on wild plants for sustenance but will eat any non-meat food items left lying about like vegetables, prepared meals, chocolate, and beer.

Wild boar

Wild boar

This hairy omnivore is descended from escaped pigs and evolved for living in the wild.
Its tusks make it a better fighter than its domesticated pig cousins. Unfortunately, it is too unruly to be trained in the most complex tasks.

Boars are omnivorous wild pigs. They are quite pervasive, being found in . If slain, they can be butchered for pork and pigskin.

Summary

Wild boars are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

Wild boars can appear in raids alongside yttakin pirates. ​Content added by the Biotech DLC Note that "raider" boars are still unable to travel through fences and barricades. This can alter their pathing. If the animal raider cannot reach a better target because of fences/walls, it will start bashing at structures randomly.

Analysis

Boars are one of many animals that exist primarily to be hunted.

As tamed animals, boars are worse for meat/leather than pigs. While boars can be found in the wild, they are generally outclassed for meat by at least 1 animal, regardless of what biome you've settled on.

Nutrition

When slaughtered, a boar yields Expression error: Unexpected < operator. meat and Expression error: Unexpected < operator. leather as a baby; Expression error: Unexpected < operator. meat and Expression error: Unexpected < operator. as a juvenile; or Expression error: Unexpected < operator. meat and Expression error: Unexpected < operator. leather as an adult. 1 meat is equal to 0.05 nutrition.

An adult boar consumes nutrition per day, and creates up to Expression error: Unexpected / operator. offspring per day.

  • When offspring are slaughtered as babies, a female boar will produce Expression error: Unexpected < operator. nutrition of meat per day, giving a nutrition efficiency of Expression error: Unexpected < operator.%.
  • If the offspring are allowed to grow to adulthood, they will consume an additional Expression error: Unexpected < operator. nutrition per day, but will instead yield Expression error: Unexpected < operator. nutrition per day as they are slaughtered, resulting in a nutrition efficiency of Expression error: Unexpected < operator.%.

When considering a population of equal numbers of males and females, these nutrition efficiencies fall to Expression error: Unexpected < operator.% for baby slaughter and Expression error: Unexpected < operator.% for adult slaughter.

Boars are inferior to pigs, chinchillas, ibex, and horses for meat / nutrition consumption. Pigs and horses take less slaughtering work, too. One of the few advantages of boars is that they are omnivorous, able to eat leftover human corpses, but pigs are also omnivores. If pigs are unavailable, then boars are the best for this task.

Combat

Boars are surprisingly powerful for their size, though boars will rarely fight. They won't revenge when hunted. As pen animals, they will never be attacked by raiders. But when they do attack, such as in manhunter packs, boars are threatening.

They have a damage output higher than that of a megaspider, with a movement speed equivalent to that of an unarmored human. Boars tend to be able to put up a good fight against predators such as timber wolves and Wargs, often severely injuring, occasionally downing, or even outright killing them on rare occasions.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:  
Attack:  
Rescue:  
Haul:  

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Deer are herding herbivorous animals that are found in . Males of the species are called Bucks and can be distinguished by the presense of antlers and larger visual size, while females are called Does and are visually smaller and lack antlers. Young deer of both genders are light colored and spotted. Despite the visual differences, adult deer of both genders have the same stats and attacks.

Summary

Deer are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

Analysis

Other than being an animal to be hunted, deer don't have much of a purpose.

Ibex are more efficient ranch animals, are easier to tame, and they can be found in all biomes that deer populate. Deer are better to hunt than ibex, as deer are larger targets (which won't revenge when hunted).

Nutrition

When slaughtered, a deer yields Expression error: Unexpected < operator. meat and Expression error: Unexpected < operator. leather as a baby; Expression error: Unexpected < operator. meat and Expression error: Unexpected < operator. as a juvenile; or Expression error: Unexpected < operator. meat and Expression error: Unexpected < operator. leather as an adult. 1 meat is equal to 0.05 nutrition.

An adult deer consumes nutrition per day, and a doe creates up to Expression error: Unexpected round operator. offspring per day.

  • When offspring are slaughtered as babies, a doe will produce Expression error: Unexpected < operator. nutrition of meat per day, giving an optimal nutrition efficiency of Expression error: Unexpected < operator.%.
  • If the offspring are allowed to grow to adulthood, they will consume an additional Expression error: Unexpected < operator. nutrition per day, but will instead yield Expression error: Unexpected < operator. nutrition per day as they are slaughtered, resulting in an optimal nutrition efficiency of Expression error: Unexpected < operator.%.

When considering a population of equal numbers of males and females, these nutrition efficiencies fall to Expression error: Unexpected < operator.% for baby slaughter and Expression error: Unexpected < operator.% for adult slaughter.

As mentioned above, ibex, as well as horses, are superior for nutrition. Horses are also pack animals.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:  
Attack:  
Rescue:  
Haul:  

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Dromedary

Dromedary

A large land mammal adapted to arid environments. Domesticated since ancient times, its wool and leather are both exceptionally good at insulating against the desert heat, and its milk is quite nourishing. It can be used as a pack animal and mount, but its bouncing gait makes it slower to ride than a horse.
By storing water in its large humps and reclaiming moisture from its breath as it exhales, it can go weeks without drinking.
When in a caravan, people can ride dromedaries to increase the caravan's speed.

Dromedaries are desert-dwelling herbivores that provide milk and act as pack animals.

Taming

Dromedaries are notable for requiring no minimum skill level to tame. They can be found in .

Summary

Dromedaries are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

A dromedary can be milked for up to Milk units of milk every days (depending on your pawn's Animal Gather Yield).

Dromedaries are also pack animals. They will carry up to 73.5kg of weight in a caravan. They can be ridden by pawns to speed caravan speed by up to 130%.

Analysis

Dromedaries are an "all-in-one" animal, well suited for arid environments. Dromedaries produce milk, are pack animals, and are ridable, a combo entirely unique to dromedaries. In a desert or extreme desert, dromedaries are the only native animal to produce milk, and the only native animal that is a pack animal. Camelhide is also a great textile for heat insulation.

Dromedaries are much larger than most other animals found in a desert and extreme desert.

Milking

Female dromedaries produce Milk per day, or Expression error: Unexpected * operator. nutrition in milk per day. A dromedary consumes nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of Expression error: Unexpected < operator.% from females' milk alone (or Milk Expression error: Unexpected / operator. per day per 1 nutrition consumed). Dromedaries provide the least milk of all animals.

Yaks are competitive with dromedaries, and choosing between them is more of a matter of preference. They are both pack animals that produce milk, but yaks produce Expression error: Missing operand for /.% more milk on average, while dromedaries allow riders to speed up caravans. They are otherwise very similar - carrying the same load and eating the same amount. Dromedaries can be found in deserts, while yaks can be found in cooler biomes.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:  
Attack:  
Rescue:  
Haul:  

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Elk are a large species of herbivore that appear in herds. They have a muffalo's tolerance to subzero temperatures so they are quite comfortable living in the cold boreal forest, tundra, and cold bog biomes.

Male and female elk can be distinguished by the presence or lack of antlers, respectively.

Production

Female elk can be milked once every 1 days, producing 11 milk.

Summary

Elk are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

A female elk can be milked for up to Milk units of milk every days (depending on your pawn's Animal Gather Yield).

Analysis

Elk's meat, leather, and milk yields and their hunger rate are identical to that of the yak. However, compared to the yak, elk are wilder and cannot carry cargo, making them strictly inferior to yaks as tamable animals. If you don't need to caravan out, they are mostly identical if tamed.

Milking

Female elk produce Milk per day, or Expression error: Unexpected * operator. nutrition in milk per day. A elk consumes nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of Expression error: Unexpected < operator.% from milk alone (or Milk Expression error: Unexpected / operator. per day per 1 nutrition consumed). They are better for milk than dromedaries or caribou.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:  
Attack:  
Rescue:  
Haul:  

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Hares are a fast-moving cold-loving species found in . Not being a social creature they are seen foraging for plants alone. Their small bodies with limited health means that they are easily killed with one shot from a bolt-action rifle.

They are effectively identical to the snowhare, only differing in habitat, comfortable temperature range, and color.

Analysis

Although typically a "real world" hare is larger than a rabbit, RimWorld hares produce the same amount of meat and lightleather as squirrels and rats. Further, despite any real-world expectations of "rabbit fur" parkas, slaughtering hares produces only lightleather, which has poor beauty and value, and no particular insulation benefits. It is also one of the least protective textiles in the game, making a hare farm a poor prospect.

However, hares make great cannon fodder. They move quickly, reproduce rapidly, can graze on grass or other vegetables, and are not pen animals. You can't train rabbits to attack, but you can set an allowed area in the general direction of raiders. In comparison, rats are easier to tame, are worth less, and can dispose of corpses, but are slower and have slightly less health.

Trivia

Prior to the 1.3 changes to caravan speed calculation, large numbers of tamed hares could be used to increase the speed of any caravan they were a part of, as caravan speed was based on the average speed in the caravan. Being herbivores, they could freely graze while caravanning.

Muffalo

Muffalo

A large herding herbivore descended from buffalo and adapted for both cold and warm environments. While enraged muffalo are deadly, tamed muffalo are quite docile and can be used as pack animals.
Nobody is quite sure why they're blue - it might even be some early genetic modification test that just never got changed.

Muffalo are slow-moving, grass-grazing quadrupeds analogous to buffalo.

Taming

Muffalo can be found in . They can either be tamed by a handler or self-tame in a random event.

Muffalo can be bought and sold in other faction bases and from bulk goods traders. Muffalo purchased from traders will be already tamed.

Summary

Muffalo are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

Muffalo can be sheared for Muffalo wool muffalo wool (Silver 324) every days for 1,700 ticks (28.33 secs) of work. Note that yield and shearing time are modified by the shearer's Animal Gather Yield and Animal Gather Speed respectively.

Muffalo are also pack animals, and will carry up to kg of weight in a caravan. They cannot be ridden.

Analysis

Muffalo arrive in large packs; a herd of muffalo can be a lifesaver in colder biomes. Two or three muffalo usually provide enough leather (or wool if you are willing to tame them) to make a parka as well as a generous amount of meat. But, if enraged, a herd can be a large threat to colonists.

As tamed animals, muffalo are a wool-producing pack animal, which can be found in colder biomes. In a tundra or ice sheet, the only pack animal available is the muffalo. They can survive cold temperatures that would kill most other pack animals. Their wool and leather is also great for cold insulation.

  • As a pack animal, horses carry the same weight, but eat less. Horses can also be ridden. However, horses do not live in cold biomes (nor do they produce wool). Without considering horses, muffalo are otherwise great pack animals, holding more weight per food than any other alternative.
  • As a wool-producing animal, alpaca and sheep produce more wool per day. Like horses, both alpaca and sheep do not live in cold biomes.

They are almost identical to bison, the main differences being comfortable temperature, leather type, and wool type. Muffalo are also slower than both bison and baseline humans. This makes muffalo safer to hunt, though as muffalo are only 0.1 c/s slower than humans, you should still take care while hunting.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:  
Attack:  
Rescue:  
Haul:  

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Despite being herbivorous, this large mammal is very easy to enrage. Once angered, its massive strength and sharp horn make it a brutal opponent. It has more muscle in one leg than most humans do in their whole body.

Rhinoceros are a large species of herbivore that tend to travel alone or in small packs.

Rhinoceroses can be found in .

Analysis

Rinoceroses are easy to anger, whether you hunt or tame them. Their [[]] is highly protective, the fourth most protective textile in the game. This can make rhinos worthwhile to hunt early on, assuming you can take down a pack. It generally isn't worth to breed rhinoceroses for meat or leather, however, due to their slow reproduction and difficulty to tame. Devilstrand is a stronger material, and often easier to produce than rhinoceros leather.

Rhinoceroses are decent attack animals, possessing a fast movement speed combined with a tanky ability to take damage and strong damage. Unlike the others in this table, however, they cannot be trained to haul.

Squirrels are one of the smallest and generally mostly harmless animals on rimworlds. Storytellers often make this the target of your first maddened animal encounter, sending it to attack your colonists.

Squirrels can be found in .

Analysis

With very low health and a low melee damage, one might think this critter to be harmless. But due to its fast speed and very fast attack rate, your colonists may suffer many bleeding wounds very quickly, adding up to a potentially lethal threat. Their small size makes them hard to shoot, and a large group of squirrels turned manhunter can be especially dangerous.

Otherwise, squirrels offer a tiny amount of food when hunted, equal to that of the rat. They have no particular use as tamed animals, not valuable for meat. Even as "bait" animals, rats and hares are better at the task. Hares are faster and just as difficult to tame, while rats are omnivores and easier to tame. Both can be found in all biomes that squirrels reside in.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:  
Attack:  
Rescue:  
Haul:  

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
