Other mobs crossed my mind, depending whats near by, may account for the missing ones, I have a bunch of basic wolves wondering around my perimeter, still only playing with 1st boss defeated. And when the 'Forest moves', brutes can claim the odd wolf.

I have to say 'us271', I like your style of play, just peeped your review, gave a thumbs up etc, I too have been enjoying the same freedom Valheim allows, by trying my best to avoid spoilers, and play at a low level, as far as I can. In my troll hide armour I have been going places I really shouldn't be. Absolute hoot, and loving the ability to freely explore, build and poke scary, more dangerous things.
