Behemoth
A giant grazer of savannas and plains: tame it with hay bales and ride a moving hill.
In the game
How to get it
Find one in the savanna or the plains; right click it with a hay bale: 15 % a bale.
What it is for
A saddled behemoth is slow (5.2 m/s at its fastest) but never stopped by a step; killed, it drops the most meat and leather of all.
Why it exists
The patient player's mount: earn it bale by bale.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
The behemoth is the heaviest beast of the Earth: 2.4 m tall, 250 health.
Where and when
Savannas and plains, at any hour, alone and rare.
Behaviour
- Neutral: it leaves you alone until you hit it, then fights back.
- 250 health, 35 damage a blow (Normal).
- Charges, stomps and headbutts when hit: the hardest blows of any animal.
- Too heavy to swim: it walks on the bed and drowns after 20 s.
