System answer
Wolves, bears, and tigers can threaten the player in the untamed wilderness. If a wild animal catches the player, collected items can be lost and the player is sent back to the farm.
Confirmed mechanics
Wolves appear outside Bloomfield Village at night.
The opening story involves an attempt to tame the wolves and a rumored guardian wolf.
The penalty affects expedition planning because newly gathered items may be at risk.
Future database structure
Players should treat long collection runs as risk-management trips. Exact detection ranges, escape actions, protected inventory, and safe zones must be verified from gameplay before adding tactical instructions.
Known boundary
The announcements do not confirm combat, health damage, animal defeat, item-loss selection, or difficulty settings.
