Space Giraffe-Tick-Penguin-Whale Thing



The Land Whale is the unofficial name given to a creature found throughout the satisfactory world. Referred to as "Space Giraffe-Tick-Penguin-Whale Thing" in the official patch notes for the launch of Early Access.

Appearance/Sounds
The Land Whale looks like a whale from a distance (hence the name) however a closer look reveals a bird-like beak and head with small eyes, indicating that it may not have poor eyesight. It has 4 very long legs which it uses to move, since they can often be found wallowing in one of the many lakes dotting the map, it is thought that they use their long legs to hold themselves out of the water while they explore these lakes. The land whale will occasionally make noises that sound similar to water dwelling whales found on earth.

Behavior
The Land whale is a docile, harmless creature that wanders slowly around the world. It will not attack the player and will not run away when approached. Occasionally it will raise itself onto its hind legs and then drop back down.

The only way that it will react to the presence of the player is if the player tries to attack it, at which point it will attempt to gallop away from the player before settling down again a short while after. The Land Whale has a very large amount of health so it is not recommended that a player actually attempt to kill it. If it is killed, however, the corpse will act like a jump pad if jumped upon.

Bouncy!

Drops
The land whale does not drop any items when it is alive or when it dies.

It does drop "alien carapace".
