Critter
From Starbounder - Starbound Wiki
Critters are small, passive monsters found on planets. They have a tiny amount of health and can be killed easily by friendly or hostile weapons.
Critters cannot be captured using capture pods, although they could during the early release. Instead, a Relocator is required to capture them. Using this tool, the player can teleport up to three critters into the Relocator, then carry them safely and place them back into a world at a later time. After being released from the Relocator, critters will behave normally. Relocators can capture all capturable types of critters, including ground critters, wild fish, fish caught using a Fishing Rod, and flying critters.
Critters can be spawned with the admin command /spawnmonster [spawn name] [level]
- For example:
/spawnmonster ravencritter 6

Trivia
- The three eyed raven critter is likely a reference to the same creature in Game of Thrones.
- The name "Groop" is likely a portmanteau of "grass" and "Gloop", the name of another critter.
- The three cell critters found on the mission to defeat The Ruin spawn new cells with unique behavior when killed.
- "Cell 1" spawns two cells identical to itself.
- "Cell 2" spawns a fast-moving version of itself.
- "Egg Cell" spawns a flying version of itself.
