d100 - Wilderness Fauna

As part of my Preparation for a new Wilderness Stocking Resource (an Overland version of my Dungeon Stocking – Expanded) I’ve identified a few potential d100 Tables that I would like to add to the pile. Although I have plenty of tables concerning Trees, Flora, and even Fruit/Berries, I noticed that the ones that I have made in the past for Wildlife are generally pretty specific (Fantastic Fish, Remarkable Birds, etc.) I wanted to something a little more generally applicable: A kind of Outdoor Companion to my Dungeon Fauna table.

So here are a hundred ideas to add some more Critters to those Wildernesses. I don’t view these strictly as Encounters per se: More akin to a bit of decoration or embellishment when portraying an area as we Journey through it. These can serve as a source of small vignettes, just to make those places feel a little more alive. Of course, that doesn’t mean that they won’t sometimes spur choices or interaction by more inquisitive Players, or even potentially serve as some entries to sprinkle in a Hunting or Regional Rumor Table. I have some more fully-fledged ideas for Hunting/Foraging in my Forest Farragoes.
