So you want to play an herbivore! You're more than welcome to. If you want to play an herbivore, all you need to do is show interest to me and make your application. Herbivores that players use as characters have different stats than normal prey animals. This is to make sure they're equal and balanced (Where prey NPCs are intentionally not so). I will not make stats for herbivore playing species until someone requests to be one.
Eating
Eating will be a lot easier for you than it is for any predator. Since all you need to eat is plantlife! We will be respecting your herbivore's specific diet however. If your animal eats grass then you'll have to actually go to a place to that has enough grass to feed your animal (aka not the Endless Wasteland or Drylands). If you play a giraffe and you eat leaves, then you'll need to go to a place that actually has plenty of trees to eat (aka not the Watch or Hunters Paradise).
Overall, eating isn't challenging for you. Refraining from being eaten is your challenge!
Attributes and Flaw Restrictions
You cannot have attributes (or flaws) that are clearly meant for carnivores or ones that would be cheaply in your advantage. Also note that you'll start as a Solitary animal, even if your species is normally a social one. This will remain until (if) an herbivore faction is established. As such, you cannot have attributes/flaws intended for faction-based animals.
Attributes you cannot have are: Cannibal, Satiated, Scavenger
Flaws you cannot have are: Picky, Cold-Blooded, Glutton, Withering
Some Attributes/Flaws are flipped if you pick them. For example Hunter. Instead of hunter working on prey animals like zebras, it works on predatory animals like lions.
There are also Herbivore only attributes including Sheilding, Flight Instinct, Keen senses & Rut
Herbivore only flaws are: Featherweight, Sunken
For the sake of your safety, I would suggest NOT picking Enticing or Delicious as your flaw. That's really asking for trouble.
