36 +**Core Concept:** Each creature type behaves differently under specific conditions and states, depending on what those states dictate. For now, they are categorised into three groups (prey, predators and scavengers). In the future, changes could include additions and updates to these documents. These creatures’ behaviour varies under observable conditions, such as day and weather cycles.
