All 99 Nights in the Forest monsters and entities

The Owl

Behavior: hostile
HP: N/A (immortal)
Damage: 25+ (increases with day count)
Walkspeed: 45
Spawn location: the forest or the snow biome (night only)

The Owl is one of the secondary antagonists in the game, alongside the Ram. It inhabits the snow biome, and there’s a chance for it to spawn when night begins, replacing the Deer. When the Owl spawns, it triggers a unique stealth minigame where you must stay still to avoid it spotting you. If it catches you or your teammates moving too much, it will begin to chase and attack the nearest player. Like the Deer, you can stun it with your flashlight or by running back to the campfire.

It’s a pretty intimidating creature to face, but we’ve got plenty of information on its behavior and tips to help you survive its attacks in our full 99 Nights in the Forest Owl guide.

The Ram

Behavior: hostile
HP: N/A (immortal)
Damage: 25+ (increases with day count)
Walkspeed: 45
Spawn location: the forest or the volcanic biome (night only)

The Ram is another of the secondary antagonists of the game, alongside the Owl. It inhabits the volcanic biome, and there’s a chance for it to spawn when the night begins, replacing the Deer. The Ram’s behavior is similar to that of the Deer, in that it chases you whenever it spots you too far from the campfire at night, and you can stun it with your flashlight for a brief time. However, the Ram also has a unique attack where it pauses for a moment, charges up, then rushes towards you, dealing damage to all players and knocking down all trees in its path.

Luckily, while the Ram is still a formidable foe, dodging its charges isn’t too difficult. You can learn all about the best strategies for this in our full 99 Nights in the Forest Ram guide.

99 Nights in the Forest animals

Here are all of the 99 Nights in the Forest animals:

Bunny

Behavior: passive

HP: 50

Damage: N/A

Walkspeed: 12

Possible drops: one or two morsels. Also has a 1/6 chance to drop one bunny foot

Spawn locations: the forest biome

Taming cost: one carrot

Bunnies are passive entities that run around aimlessly unless you damage them, at which point they’ll try to run away.

Horse

Behavior: passive

HP: est. 500

Damage: N/A

Walkspeed: N/A

Drops: one or two steaks

Spawn location: in the forest alongside the Furniture Trader

Taming cost: N/A

The horse is a unique passive entity that can only spawn with the Furniture Trader. It carries a large, purple wagon and occasionally stops to eat grass.

Kiwi

Behavior: passive

HP: N/A (immortal)

Damage: 0

Walkspeed: 0

Drops: N/A

Spawn location: in the kiwi burrow near the level six campfire area

Taming cost: one berry

The kiwi is a unique but essentially useless animal that arrived during the taming update. You can tame it using any taming flute and one berry, and it only requires one mood level to be satisfied. However, it won’t engage in combat with other entities, doesn’t provide any boosts or buffs, and, as it doesn’t move, you can simply pick it up and place it in your sack once you’ve tamed it.

We’re unsure whether the kiwi will gain more purpose in future 99 Nights in the Forest updates, but, for now, it’s just a cute but useless little creature.

Wolf

Behavior: hostile

HP: 75

Damage: 20

Walkspeed: 23

Normal drops: two to three morsels, one steak, and one wolf pelt

Guardian drops: two to three morsels, one steak, and up to one red key

Spawn location: the forest, snow, and volcanic biomes

Taming cost: three steaks and three morsels

Wolves are one of the most common hostile entities in the game, wandering the different biomes aimlessly until you enter their detection radius or damage them. After that, they will chase you until you die or escape their detection radius. Wolves can spawn in any location at night, but will only spawn at the locked caves and the large cabin in the forest during the day.

Alpha wolf

Behavior: hostile

HP: 125

Damage: 25

Walkspeed: 26

Normal drops: two to three morsels, one steak, and up to one alpha wolf pelt

Guardian drops: up to one blue key

Spawn location: the snow biome at night, or in the forest when you have a level 3-5 campfire

Taming cost: four steaks, four mackerels, and four salmon

Alpha wolves are very similar to normal wolves, but are much tankier and deal a lot more damage. They wander aimlessly unless you damage them or enter their detection range, at which point they will chase you until you escape their detection radius or die. Alpha wolves can spawn in any location at night, but will only spawn at the locked caves and the cultist hunter camp during the day.

Bear

Behavior: hostile

HP: 300

Damage: 40

Walkspeed: 28

Normal drops: six morsels, three or four steaks, and up to one bear pelt

Guardian drops: one yellow key and one grey key

Spawn location: the forest

Taming cost: five steaks, five pumpkins, and five salmon

Like other hostile entities, bears wander the forest aimlessly until you get close to them or deal damage to them. After this, they’ll chase you down and try to attack you until you either die or exit their detection radius. They can spawn in the forest if you have a level three or higher and five or higher campfire, and will also spawn at the locked caves and the cultist hunter camp.

Polar bear

Behavior: hostile

HP: 500

Damage: 50

Walkspeed: 28

Drops: seven to eight morsels, three to four steaks, and up to one polar bear pelt

Spawn location: the polar bear cave in the snow biome

Taming cost: five ribs, five stew, and five swordfish

The polar bear is a more powerful version of the regular bear. They wander around the snow biome until they detect you, then begin to pursue and attack you until you either die or exit their detection radius.

Arctic fox

Behavior: hostile

HP: 80

Damage: 12

Walkspeed: 27

Drops: one to two morsels and up to one arctic fox pelt

Spawn location: snow biome

Taming cost: three steaks and three chilli

Arctic foxes are hostile entities that often hunt in packs of two to five, though they do occasionally spawn alone. If you damage one or enter its detection radius, it will run towards you and attack until all players have left its detection radius. When in a pack, they will team up on their targets.

Frogs

Behavior: hostile

HP: TBC

Damage: five (plus additional poison damage over time)

Drops: one morsel and up to one frog key

Spawn location: by ponds and the frog cave in the forest

Taming cost: two mackerels

Frogs are hostile entities that arrived during the Frog Invasion Update. They aren’t guaranteed to spawn every run. If they do spawn, they emerge from the ponds ten minutes after the start of the match, using their tongues to attack and inflict the poison effect. There are four different types of frog, with some stronger than others. When you kill a frog, it spawns two frogs of the next weaker type.

Here are the different types of 99NitF frogs, from strongest to weakest:

• Frog king / orange frog (strongest)
• Purple frog
• Blue frog
• Green frog (weakest)

Once you’ve collected eight frog keys – either by killing frogs or through 99 Nights in the Forest’s fishing system – you can then enter the frog cave, where you must face many waves of frogs in order to get to and open the special frog chest.

Scorpion

Behavior: hostile

HP: 50

Damage:20 (plus additional poison damage over time)

Walkspeed: 20 (30 if from the scorpion nest)

Drops: up to one morsel and up to one scorpion shell

Spawn location: the volcanic biome

Taming cost: two steaks and two morsels

Scorpions are hostile entities that chase and attack you if you enter their detection radius or deal damage to them. They will stop their pursuit if you get out of their detection radius or too close to a campfire. Like frogs, scorpions are capable of dealing extra damage through poison, and they can spawn in both the scorpion nest and the scorpion pit in the volcanic biome.

Mammoth

Behavior: neutral

HP: 800

Damage: 30

Walkspeed: 20

Drops: eight or nine steaks, two ribs, and up to one mammoth tusk

Spawn location: the snow biome

Taming cost: ten pumpkins and five cakes

The mammoth is a rare neutral enemy. They won’t attack unless you deal damage to them, at which point they charge at you and attack whenever you’re in range. They also have the ability to knock players away.

Hellephant

Behavior: hostile

HP: 500

Damage: 30

Walkspeed: 20

Drops: eight or nine cooked steaks, up to two cooked ribs, and up to one mammoth tusk

Spawn location: the hellephant ritual circle in the volcanic biome

Taming cost: ten pumpkins and five cakes

Sometimes referred to as the ‘lava mammoth’, the hellephant looks very similar to the mammoth, but red. It acts similarly to other hostile entities, wandering aimlessly until you enter its detection radius or deal damage to it. After this, it will chase you down and deal damage when in range. Due to its size, the hellephant can get caught on objects like trees and buildings and lose interest, even if you’re still in its detection radius.

Meteor crab

Behavior: hostile

HP: 75

Damage: TBC

Drops: one or two morsel?, up to two meteor shards, and up to one gold shard

Spawn location: a meteor crater or the meteor tool workshop

Taming cost: N/A

Meteor crabs are hostile entities that spawn alone or in pairs, emerging from grey crystals around meteor craters. Up to seven of these craters appear when the game displays the message ‘the sky is on fire’, which has a chance to happen during night at the three-day mark around the level one to two campfire area. Alternatively, meteor crabs may spawn in the meteor tool workshop (otherwise known as the damaged tool workshop), which replaced the normal tool workshop during the Meteor Shower Update.

Meteor crabs drop the unique item ‘morsel?’ on death, which is an alternative version of the standard morsel. However, other than the name and unusual, purple-ish color, they’re exactly the same as a regular morsel, so don’t be scared to use them.

Other 99 Nights in the Forest entities

The main monsters and aggressive animals aren’t the only foes you’ll face in 99NitF – there are also several different human enemies and extraterrestrials that you may encounter while combing the forest for clues.

Here are all of the other 99 Nights in the Forest entities:

Aliens

Behavior: hostile
Max health: medium
Damage: 10+
Walkspeed: 16
Possible weapons: raygun, laser sword, or laser cannon (mothership raid)

Aliens are entities that can spawn on the second night of a 99 Nights in the Forest run. You’ll know they’re coming, as the game will inform you that “something mysterious is flying above you.” After that, multiple UFOs fly over you, with some flashing red and crashing nearby. During this event, two to four crashed UFOs will appear on your map, and several normal aliens will appear around them.

One of the crashed UFOs will glow green, which indicates that you can use it to access the mothership. If you enter this ship, the door on the right opens, allowing you to hop on a teleport pad and enter the mothership. Inside the mothership, you’ll find several large, grey-skinned aliens known as alien elites, which have higher health and damage than regular aliens. After killing one, you can hold up its dead body to a scanner to unlock the next room. Only one can spawn in each room except the final room.

Cultists

Cultists are the supporting antagonists of 99NitF, and seem to worship the Deer. You can often find them in buildings that contain valuable items. You can also encounter them during the cultist raids that occur around every four nights, during which they attack the campfire.

The first raid always happens on the fourth day/night cycle. You’ll know it’s coming as a red info bar pops up at the top of your screen. If you click on it, the game will notify you that “something evil is approaching your campfire… it arrives tonight.” After that, your usual “night is approaching” message will instead say “you will be attacked tonight, return to your campfire.”, and you’ll get a final message reminding you shortly before the cultists and the Deer arrive.

After the first raid, a new raid occurs every 20 minutes or so, and comes with stronger cultists. After you’ve survived all 99 nights, you must survive one final raid. Killing the last cultist during the final raid earns you the gem of the forest item.

There are several different types of cultists, and they can wield four different weapons, each dealing a different amount of damage.

Here are the different types of 99 Nights in the Forest cultists:

• Melee – the most common form, melee cultists wear brown jackets and can carry old axes, spears, and morningstars
• Crossbow – the second most common, crossbow cultists wear red jackets and, as the name suggests, always carry crossbows
• Juggernaut – a rare type of cultist, juggernauts wear a red metal helmet, a red shirt, and a black jacket. They exclusively wield morningstars, but deal far more damage and are much tankier than normal cultists
• Mega cultists – a rare, larger version of the standard melee cultist, mega cultists have red skin but otherwise look the same as their normal counterparts. Only admins can spawn these in, most commonly during update parties. They carry morningstars, and are generally very strong, taking multiple laser cannon shots to kill

When you defeat a cultist, there are a variety of different items that they can drop. Here are the basic cultists’ possible drops:

• Up to one revolver ammo
• Up to one rifle ammo
• Up to one mossy coin

Here are the possible drops you can get if you kill the last cultist in a location or raid:
