Quintessential Creatures Mod adds several creatures like the Octopus, Tortoise, Angler, Armadillo, Blowfish and troll, among others.
Screenshots:
Octopus: When attacked, the octopus will try to flee and squirt a cloud of ink that cannot be seen through.
Tortoise: The tortoise can be somewhat tamed by feeding it flowers, in exchange for a free meal, the tortoise will gladly shoulder the burden of a chest, increasing your mobile inventory! Plus, they’re cute as hell!
Troll: The troll is a terrible beast that comes out at night to hunt. It fears the sun, which turns the troll in to stone! Beware the rocks that it throws!
Angler: The angler is a frightening creature that lives in the dark depths of the ocean. It lashes out to everything that comes near, attracted by its lure.
Armadillo: To protect itself from predators, the armadillo has a thick armor plating all along its back and it will roll into a nice ball when attacked. This makes them difficult to hunt, but a persistent hunter will claim his prize. When killed, the Armadillo drops a section of his armor.
Blowfish: If bumped into or attacked, the blowfish puffs into it’s larger form and it will deal contact damage like a cactus.
