Nature's Smallfolk fills different habitats with insects, small creatures and birds. Sixteen species have their own movement and reactions: some flee, others hunt insects or defend themselves. Variants and animated specimen jars make collecting another part of exploration.
Forests, fields and caves
Butterflies have eight colors and visit flowers. Ladybugs wander through vegetation, crickets jump and chirp at night, and atlas moths are nocturnal and attracted to light. Fireflies glow in dark woodland, swamps and lush caves. Ants collect food into piles that can hold ten items; breaking a pile releases stored food and three to six angry ants.
Dung beetles roll dung in dry biomes. Mantises ambush small prey, while tarantulas climb and become more dangerous in darkness. Snails retract when threatened. Centipedes and scorpions can defend themselves with poison. Dragonflies hover near water; mosquitoes pursue players in humid habitats.
Birds and collection
The V6 update adds bluebirds, robins and cardinals. These peaceful birds fly, sing and flee when approached. Sea slugs inhabit water and come in three colorful variants. Empty jars capture supported creatures without killing them and preserve their variant. Place the filled jars to build animated displays; the collection includes 35 specimen jars, with birds now supported too.
Several species have collectible variants: butterflies have eight colors, snails four, tarantulas five and dragonflies four. Sea slugs have three variants. Capturing a creature preserves its variant in the jar, allowing a display to represent different finds rather than repeatedly producing a single generic model.
