How To Keep Animals From Despawning In Terraria

A Red Squirrel and a Bunny in a Forest.

Critters are harmless characters that do non collaborate with the player in any way, except in that they can be killed by both players and enemies. All critters have 5 wellness and serve equally ambient entities. Well-nigh critters can be summoned by means of a statue, but will otherwise spawn randomly in any environs that supports them.

All critters tin be caught with a Bug Internet, except for Dolphins and Sea Turtles . Additionally, critters from The Underworld tin only exist caught with a Golden Bug Net or Lavaproof Bug Cyberspace . When caught, the critter tin be carried effectually the thespian'due south inventory (or placed in storage), and can exist released over again by being used like any other item. On  Desktop,  Console,  Mobile,  Switch, and  tModLoader, critters spawned from statues cannot be defenseless; attempting to do so will crusade the critter to disappear in a puff of smoke.

Nigh defenseless critters can exist used every bit fishing bait and crafted into food. All defenseless critters tin be caged to create blithe brandish furniture. One time crafted, the critter cannot be released. About critters are caged in Terrariums, however Butterflies, Fireflies and Lightning Bugs are caged in Bottles, and both Goldfish and Pupfish are caged in Bottled Water. Bottled Fireflies and Lightning Bugs also part equally valid light sources.

On  Desktop,  Console,  Mobile,  Switch, and  tModLoader, some critter types take a rare golden variation that has a 0.25*1/400 (0.25%) / 0.67*ane/150 (0.67%) chance of spawning instead of a normal i, and can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer. Visual identification is helped by the sparkles they emit when live in the world.

In that location are currently 86 / 41 / 28 / 8 different critters.

Notes [ ]

• Virtually critters volition spawn in the identify of enemies most NPCs. Mice, even so, will by and large not spawn near NPCs.
• The spawn rates and spawn caps of critters are affected by many of the aforementioned factors every bit those of hostile enemies, and so H2o Candles, Peace Candles , Battle Potions, adjusting the Enemy Spawn Charge per unit slider in Journey Mode , Calming Potions and Sunflowers volition touch on critter spawns.
• Critters caught with a Problems Net when the player has a full inventory will be dropped in the world equally items rather than released.
• Critters regenerate health, this tin can be seen past hit them with a low damage weapon/tool, similar a Copper Axe, Copper Pickaxe or a Wooden Hammer.
• Trying to release a Goldfish volition cause the goldfish to be consumed.
• Once a critter is put inside a cage, bottle, or jar, that single critter tin no longer be released, and will stay in there forever. An alternative is to only release the critter into an enclosed area, though the critter tin can then despawn if a role player travels too far abroad.
• Attempting to take hold of an Underworld critter with an ordinary Issues Net will result in the player existence assault Burn down! for v seconds and the critter will not be picked up.
• Many critters which appear to exist 2 or fifty-fifty one blocks tall in fact crave a full 3 blocks meridian to move. If manually placed in a two-block loftier infinite they volition exist unable to movement.
  • Three-block-high critters only includes Penguins ^Verify
  • In contrast, Worms, Snails, Mice, Sluggy, Grubby and Buggy tin can clamber in one-cake loftier spaces.
  • Collywobbles tin can wing in one-block-loftier spaces.
  • Grasshoppers, if placed in a small space, can jump downwardly through the blocks beneath them until they achieve open space.
  • Birds in a one-loftier space can fly upwards through at least the block above them.

Tips [ ]

• With several NPCs caused, keeping H2o Candles around your suitable housing will cause more critters to spawn, without spawning enemies.
• To find exactly how much damage an enemy does, a critter tin can exist placed on the enemy. Critters have 0 defense and enemy harm to information technology will non vary different near situations of dealing damage. Projectiles from enemies will practise varying and reduced impairment to critters, so information technology will not work for measuring projectile damage.
• Early game, earlier a player tin can craft plenty torches to place effectually a base of operations, a thespian tin use critters to alert them when an enemy is approaching.
• For eligible critter types, 1/400 / 1/150 spawns get a valuable aureate critter. Simply since all critters are discipline to a spawn cap, few new ones volition spawn unless you are industrious about collecting all those "worthless" critters, increasing turnover.
• During a Blood Moon, Bunnies, Goldfish, and Penguins will transform into hostile enemies: Corrupt Bunnies, Corrupt Goldfish and Decadent Penguins in a Corruption world ( and Barbarous Bunnies, Roughshod Goldfish and Vicious Penguins in a Crimson world). So it is recommended for players who are ill-equipped or have low health to either kill or capture any bunny, goldfish, or penguin in their vicinity before nightfall happens. Critters that have been placed in inventory, storage, or cages will not be afflicted. These same critters can be transformed manually into their corruption form by throwing Vile Pulverisation at them, and their crimson form by throwing Vicious Pulverization . All Bunnies, Goldfish, and Penguins spawned from statues will transform into enemies if they are spawned during a Blood Moon. Once these critters have transformed into hostile enemies, they tin no longer be caught with a Bug Internet.
• Having a Guide To Critter Companionship in the inventory will preclude the role player from dealing damage to all critters, except for the Explosive Bunny. This includes traps placed by the actor.
• Lava critters similar Hell Butterfly, Lavafly or Magma Snail may exist useful for players wanting to fish in the lava with any poles (on version ane.4.0.1 or college), but can exist pretty hard to find. Critters spawn faster when the player don't move then much, coming from the sides of the screen. Staying at the same place in The Underworld, killing the various enemies around, seems to be the best way to get many lava critters.
• On platforms with stereo sound, critter sounds will indicate the critter'due south management (left or right). This is especially useful for various birds (including owls and ducks), and for frogs.
