About this mod Author’s original text

Poorilla

Something big, brown and grumpy is knuckle-walking through the Black Forest.

The Poorilla

A mud-caked ape: smaller and quicker than a Troll, it pounds the ground, throws punches, and every hit

splatters you with mud (Wet). Found day and night in the Black Forest, sometimes in pairs.

  • Health: 300 (Troll: 600) - Damage: ~45% of a Troll's - Speed: 25% faster than a Troll
  • Drops: Poorilla Hide (1-2), Leather Scraps (2-4), Coins (50%, 5-20)

Poorilla Nests

Caves in the Black Forest where Poorillas make their home. Each nest guards a single Poorilla Egg.

Nests only generate in parts of the world that haven't been explored yet. Use a new world, or travel to

unexplored Black Forest.

Poorilla Egg & Mini Poorilla

Set the egg down on the ground next to a burning fire and keep it warm. After about two in-game days

it hatches into a Mini Poorilla: a tame little buddy you can pet and command to follow or stay.

Taking the egg away from the heat resets its progress. Hover over the egg to see how far along it is.

Mini Poorillas are messy. Every so often they leave a mud puddle behind them. The mud is purely

cosmetic: it doesn't damage or change your buildings, and it dries up and disappears after a while.

Step in it, though, and you'll be Stinky.

Cape of Stank

Crafted from Poorilla Hide using the Troll Hide Cape recipe (same station and amounts). Same stats and

set bonus as the Troll Hide Cape, plus +25% movement speed. The catch: you are permanently Stinky.

Stinky

  • Stamina regen -10%
  • Any wild Poorilla within 60 m can smell you and will come looking for you

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
