Ossimian

Ossimian is a hostile mob. This mob has several unique characteristics:

1.) Ossimian will spawn wherever the character is located (outside) on the first game night and can be either scared away with fire, killed or fled from.

2.) Ossimian tend to follow the player, sometimes great distances but can easily be outrun.

3.) Ossimian will often be spawned into the world, after the first night. They will not spawn randomly/spontaneously, other than the ones generated by the world.

4.) Ossimian will cause direct physical damage only. 5.) Ossimians can be combated against, a shell knife, spear or Iron Sword can be used. Spear is vastly superior to the shell knife in combat statistics and the Iron sword is better still.

6.) Once the player causes enough damage to the Ossimian it will flee a short distance and crouch. The player should run in and finish the beast off as it will regenerate health while crouching.

7.) Upon examination of the Ossimian's corpse you will unlock the Ossimian Autopsy research.For Dissection of an Ossimian, see Astrobiology.

8.) Dissecting the Ossimian will give the Ossimian Fur item and the Ossimian Bones item. Using the Shell knife on the corpse you may get both, only one or none of the items. You can dissect one by first removing the legs, then head, followed by the body, then the organs, and finally, the skeleton.
