Real config values: health and head zone from the damage system, attacks from the melee ammo of each predator.

Skinning yield counted the way the game script does it, with a link to every item in the item database.

Spawn events, territories and zones per map straight from the vanilla mission files, Nasdara included.

Where the data comes from

Health, head zone, attacks and skinning yield come from the config.cpp of each animal in DayZ 1.30. Attack damage is read from the melee ammo the animal uses (MeleeWolf, MeleeBear, MeleeBearShock).

The skinning yield follows the game script: if the config splits meat or pelts by body zone, each zone gives its share depending on how damaged it is. The page shows the maximum with an undamaged body.

Spawns come from events.xml and cfgenvironment.xml of the official Central Economy files for Chernarus, Livonia, Sakhal and Nasdara. An animal counts as spawning when its event is active and the map has territories for it.

Frequently asked questions

Which animal is the most dangerous in DayZ?

The brown bear. It has 800 health and a head zone with 250 hitpoints. Its own attacks (MeleeBear and MeleeBearShock) deal 25 health and 100 blood damage, with 35 or 110 shock. Wolves and the two dog breeds have 200 health and bite with MeleeWolf for 20 health, 100 blood and 12 shock.

Which animal gives the most meat?

Cows and bulls, red deer and reindeer give up to 18 steaks each, the brown bear up to 16. A pig gives up to 14, wild boar, sheep and mouflon up to 13. Damaged body zones reduce the yield.

Where do the new Nasdara animals spawn?

Doberman and German Shepherd share one dog event with 17 territories on Nasdara, the mouflon has 18 territories there, and the desert monitor lives in an ambient territory with 171 zones. In the vanilla files they spawn on Nasdara only.

Can you get sick from animals?

Skinning leaves you with bloody hands. For every animal except the Christmas reindeer, the config sets a salmonella chance of 40 % for them, so wash your hands before you eat.

Why do some variants not spawn?

The spooky goat and the Christmas reindeer exist in the game files, but no event of the vanilla mission files uses them. They only appear when a server adds them to its events.
