you gonna find some and you might wanna buy some

Wild Animals

some are very similar but different

Carnivorous Animals

These animals will eat nearby unconscious characters. Characters may be awakened from unconsciousness in a desperate attempt to save their lives, but often characters remain unconscious throughout being eaten alive.

Territorial Animals

These animals are either patrolling an area or are nesting animals which will become hostile if characters enter their territory.

Hungry Animals

These animals may choose to eat growing crops at a player outpost, which triggers the player characters to fight them. Often these animal Base Assaults can be prevented by clearing out nearby Nests before they seek out an outpost's farms. These animals usually do not initiate combat with other groups, but Swamp Raptors will eat corpses when given the opportunity.

Apathetic Animals

These animals will primarily roam in groups and will not initiate combat with characters on sight.

Relics and Robots

Many regions of Kenshi are heavily damaged environmentally. In these areas, Relics and Robots take the place of wildlife.

Mega Animal Variations

Mega Animals are rare versions of regular animals and comparatively have very high stats, especially body part health. Mega Animals can be found in a single set location.

Purchasable Animals

You can buy these and play them like regular characters! While they are rated in every skill—just like typical humanoid characters—they can't actually use very many (eg. Goats can't use Armor Smith, even if highly proficient).

Bulls

All 3 can be purchased. Wild Bull and Pack Bull from Nomads and Domesticated Bull from Holy Farms.

Dogs

Bonedog can be purchased.

Garrus

Called "pack beasts" when purchased, Garru can wear special, high-capacity backpacks.

Goats

The common Goat is widely available; if you're lucky, you might find Cornelius.

Animal Taming

The Kenshi Development Team has hinted that the ability to raise certain animals and tame them into being Player Characters could be added to the game. It hasn't been confirmed and if it is to be added, it would be a luxury feature. There are bits and pieces in the FCS which hint that it might still be in the works. Stay tuned.

Animals which would be tamed in this way would likely be Beak Things and Crabs, since they already have eggs in game. These Beak Thing Eggs and Crab Eggs can be found in the Nests of the relevant animals, but are currently only used for trade.
