The fauna of Peräjärvi is quite typical for the Finnish countryside. The only sightable animals are the Moose and the Pike while some other animals can be heard. Both the moose and the pike can be used for food.

Moose[]

Main article: Moose

Moose are the only land animals seen around Peräjärvi. They can only be encountered from late evening to early morning. There are certain areas where they cross the roads. There are at least two crossings along the highway and one crossing on the dirt roads. The moose can usually be seen crossing the roads near the warning signs.

A high-speed collision usually proves fatal for both the driver and the moose. The Satsuma will often be greatly deformed after a collision with the moose; they are very sturdy animals and not something the player would want to hit at great speed. Drive carefully at night to leave yourself sufficient reaction time to hit your brakes.


Pike[]

Main article: Pike

Pikes are fish that are found at the lake Peräjärvi, most likely in the waters around the island. Pikes can be caught with the fish trap found on the porch of the cottage on the island. They appear only when caught; they are not seen swimming in the lake.

Birds[]

Some different birds can be heard singing throughout the day. Birds' Finnish names are in parentheses. (list not complete):

  • Cuculus canorus, common cuckoo (käki) - can be heard from midnight until 6 AM.
  • Gavia Arctica, black-throated loon (kuikka) - makes a high pitched wail, can be heard from 6 AM until noon and then from 6 PM until midnight.
  • Fringilla coelebs, common chaffinch (peippo) - can be heard from noon until 6 PM.
  • Columba palumbus, common wood pigeon (sepelkyyhky) - makes a cooing sound, can be heard from 6 PM until midnight.
  • Scolopax rusticola, eurasian woodcock (lehtokurppa) - sounds like a frog.

Dogs[]

Though dogs cannot be seen anywhere, they can be heard barking incessantly at night.

Insects[]

Bumblebees[]

Bumblebees can temporarily blind the player, if he drives a windshield-less vehicle at high speeds (over 72 km/h) without wearing a helmet.

Flies[]

Flies can be heard buzzing around the player when dirtiness gets too high. Use the shower to decrease dirtiness and get rid of the flies.

Grasshoppers[]

Grasshoppers don't exist in a visual form and can only be heard chirping at around the dump next to the airfield.

Mosquitoes[]

Mosquitoes make an annoying high-pitched noise which can be heard every evening. You can get rid of the mosquitoes for a short period by using the mosquito repellent spray, available at Teimo's shop.

Wasps[]

The Wasps is a bee (Hymenoptera) that player character is allergic to wasps, meaning only a few stings cause death.

Wasp nests[]

Wasps come out of nests, of which there are two - one inside the Ruscko and another in the attic of the abandoned farmhouse. The former needs to be destroyed by either dipping the car into a lake or using a fire extinguisher at night, while the latter can be passed by hugging the wall.

Lone wasps[]

Two lone wasps can be found flying around, one each at the strawberry field and the landfill. The chances of crossing paths with one are quite low, though you'd better get away from it as soon as you see it.
