Combat[ | ]

The Black-Backed Jackal is a relatively small animal that can appear alone but more often than not in a small pack. Don't let their size fool you! Care should be taken if you decide to engage in combat with one of these animals as you may be swarmed by a pack of them from all sides. The Jackal uses their small size and sharp teeth to quickly cause damage and can inflict Bleeding. Being a smaller animal, it easier to intimidate a single animal but a pack is harder. It is recommended to do so holding weapons or with a group of hominids.

If you do decide to attack, use the best weapons you can acquire. It is recommended to use Sharpened Sticks first, Sticks next, and as a last resort rocks or hard tools. The more damage you can do from a distance, the better.

Being a smaller animal, it tends to take less strikes with wood weapons to kill this animal but it can take more hits with blunt objects to achieve the same effects.

Carcass[ | ]

The Black-Backed Jackal Carcass provides Mammal Meat and when it is butchered. The carcass can be butchered once.

Interactions With Other Animals[ | ]

When different animals get in close proximity to each other, they can attack and kill each other. Animals can fight each other on their own or you can cause them to move nearer to each other to initiate combat. Some of these methods are intimidation to scare them towards another animal, have them chase you and you run past another animal, or perform a dodge and the animal runs towards another animal.

When animals fight each other, a cut-scene will play showing one animal attacking and killing the other. There are a large number of Evolution Feats that deal specifically with trying to cause animals to fight and kill each other.

The Black-Backed Jacked is relatively weaker alone but in packs it can be an overwhelming foe against the larger animals it interacts with.
