Dogs, land, birds, sea, and special forms

Dogs walk with owners around Paleto Bay and Harmony, land animals roam countryside brush, birds cross the skies, sea animals inhabit coastal waters, and special forms include peyote-triggered transformations.

Peyote and activity connections

Land and sea peyote entries flag which animals appear through peyote use, while hunting and wildlife photography fields connect animal presence to story and side activity relevance. Check habitat and behavior before assuming an animal appears everywhere.

Edition matters

Some animals are restricted to Enhanced and Expanded or Enhanced releases. Do not hunt a form on a version that does not include it.
