Beefalo

Beefalos (alternatively spelled pl. Beefalo or Beefaloes) are passive mobs unless attacked. When one Beefalo is attacked, all others nearby will become hostile to the player. Beefalo deal 33.33 damage with each hit. They drop 3 beefalo wool and 6 meat when killed, even if they have been shaved. Beefalo can be shaved with a Razor while they sleep, which causes them to drop 3 beefalo hairs. They will regain their hair back in a couple of days and can be shaved again at that point. A Beefalo Hat can be crafted with 16 beefalo wool. They also drop Manure (even in Sleep), which is useful for farming. Beefalo are indigenous to the savanna biome, which can be recognised by its yellow grass and grass bushes.

Herds regenerate off-screen (currently with adults).

Beefalo herds become agitated when they go into heat, and will chase away the player if they are not wearing a Beefalo Hat.

Combat
When the player attacks one Beefalo all nearby beefalo will become aggressive. However, every beefalo that was not attacked will lose interest in the player fairly quickly, while the one that was attacked will seemingly chase the player forever. Beefalo are faster than the player, but they must stop for a moment to attack and their attack is not instant, meaning if the player keeps running, they will not get hit. This makes it possible to attack a single beefalo and lure it away from the herd because the rest of the herd will stop chasing. They attack slowly, with multiple seconds between attacks. This makes it easy to "Kite" them. If the player has a herd of Beefalos nearby them and monsters are chasing, it is possible to kite the monster into the herd and they may turn on each other, rendering the player free from peril.

Beefalo Farming
One effective way of easily getting wool without killing the beefalo is to simply shave it with a razor. But you can only do this while the beefalo is sleeping, and shaving them while it is night can be dangerous. An easy alternative to shaving them at night is to first build a couple Pan Flutes. Then, find a herd of beefalo. Then, you have two choices:

1. Play the flute, then simply shave the beefalo while they sleep.

2. Play the flute, then push the beefalo back to your base for easy access to manure and wool. If they wake up, just use the flute on them again.
