How to Get Antlers, Snail Shells, and Other Animal Drops

Naturalist adds several unique drops that are not food and not blocks — they come from specific animals and are used for decoration or crafting. Knowing which animal gives what saves a lot of guesswork.

Common Drops and Their Sources

• Antler — dropped by deer (and similar antlered animals). Deer shed antlers naturally over time, so check your enclosure periodically rather than killing them.
• Snail Shell — dropped by snails. Snails also lay Snail Eggs, which you can collect and hatch.
• Lizard Tail — dropped by lizards. Lizards can regrow their tails, so a single lizard can supply multiple tails if you are patient.
• Glow Goop — associated with glowing creatures like fireflies; useful for light-related crafting.
• Chrysalis — produced by caterpillars as they prepare to become butterflies.

Farming Drops Safely

1. Pen the animal in a small enclosure so drops land in a known spot.

2.

3. For egg-type drops (snail eggs, tortoise eggs, alligator eggs, ostrich eggs), collect the egg and place it where you want it to hatch.

4. Store drops in a labelled chest; antlers and shells are easy to confuse with junk otherwise.

Uses

Antlers and shells are primarily decorative and crafting ingredients. Glow Goop ties into light sources, and Chrysalis is part of the butterfly lifecycle.
