Water Beefalo, also known as Ox, are the Shipwrecked version of Beefalo. They have the same characteristics as the Beefalo, with the only differences being that the Water Beefalo do not drop wool if killed, and they drop Horns instead of Beefalo Horns. They are native to the Mangrove biome and are usually found with a small herd. While they spend most of their time in water, they can also walk on land.

Water Beefalo herds will spawn at semi-corner islands, which has 2/3 of Mangrove and 1/3 of Forest Biome.

Similar to Beefalo, Water Beefalo will periodically drop Manure. When one of them is attacked, the entire herd will rush to their defense. They will huddle together at Dusk and sleep through the Night.

Fighting Strategy

Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill a Water Beefalo when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. The Weather Pain is not included due to the random nature of its projectile.

It takes 3 blasts to freeze a Water Beefalo with an Ice Staff. It takes 3 Sleep Darts to put Water Beefalo to sleep.

Tips

• An entire herd of Water Beefalo can easily be killed by attacking with a Boat Cannon while they huddle together during the Night. It should be noted that any meat dropped will be cooked.

Trivia

• Currently Water Beefalo can not be shaved with a Razor, meaning there is currently no Water Beefalo Wool or similar to obtain. This feature might be available in the future though, as in the game files graphics for the "shaved" Water Beefalo can already be found.
