About this Mod
A rare variety of sheep that lives in the mushroom forests and barren sand biomes of the nether. Referred to in game as Ovis Atre, the animal produces wool and milk.
The Atre subsist off fungi of various types but are primarily carnivores and to that end are hostile to many types of animals. They will pursue prey opportunistically.
This is a stand alone feature from the larger survival mod Primal Core.
