Forest Animals

Forest Animals is a scrapped concept from the early days of Knock on Wood. They were Collectibles/Characters that Woodrow can find abandoned in every world.

Background
The Forest animals were animals who didn't General Ryvok's taxes and were kidnapped and dropped in the middle of nowhere and left for dead.

Usage
Each Forest Animal was a playable character, which can usually do things Woodrow couldn't do on his own.

Known Forest Animals

 * Picidae: A middle-aged Woodpecker, who Woodrow can sometime seek for advice. Can Glide and Break through wood panels.
 * Otto: A Possum with a typical New York accent. Can Play Dead, and fit in small holes.
 * Muffin: A short-tempered flying squirrel with a high-pitched Jersey Accent who thinks he's cool.
 * Byron: A dimwitted fruit bat. He can walk on ceilings and any other netting.
 * Toby: An generous otter with a Scottish accent who can swim fast and breath forever.
 * Razor: A patriotic commando porcupine who can shoot quills like a gatling gun.
 * Klaus: An intelligent Owl with a German accent. He can use his vision to detect caterpillars.

Trivia

 * Outsider Entertainment scrapped the concept as it would make the worlds too easy to navigate and explore.
 * Although most of the animals have been scrapped, Picidae and Otto are still in, and playable from the tutorial.
 * Some characters have been reused as NPCs. Like Toby, who is a sailor in the Mystic Woodlands.
