SeaAnimals

SeaAnimals Description

SeaAnimals transforms Valheim’s oceans into a living, dangerous, and fully explorable ecosystem.

The mod adds a wide variety of marine and coastal creatures, each with unique behavior, biome-specific spawning, custom drops, and full integration with vanilla and modded systems.

Beyond facing new predators, you can tame legendary sea creatures, equip them with a Maritime Saddle, and ride them as fully controllable aquatic mounts.

MARITIME MOUNTS (click to expand)

The following creatures can be tamed and ridden:

• Orca (Taming Time = 1200)
• Dolphin (Taming Time = 1200)
• Crocodile (Taming Time = 1800)
• White Shark (Taming Time = 1800)

Food items for tameable creatures:

• Blue Shark Meat, Crocodile Meat, Humboldt Squid Meat, Whale Meat, Sea Turtle Meat, Shark Meat, Turtle Meat, and Serpent Meat.

Controls

All mounts use a custom control system, independent from vanilla mechanics:

• W / A / S / D – Directional movement
• Space – Jump

Mounted attack – The player can command the mount to attack while riding

• Mouse Click - Attack 1 and Attack 02

This enables true naval combat, underwater chases, and full domination of the seas.
