Evolve: Wildlife and Buffs Quick Reference Guide

Knowing the wildlife, and buffs that they give, in Evolve is just as important as knowing your class. Wildlife gives food to the monsters to allow it to evolve. Certain monsters also give buffs to both the monster and the hunters.

There are 19 creatures/wildlife in Evolve and trying to remember them all is hard. That’s why I made this reference guide. You can come here at anytime to check on the buffs of the wildlife and how much food they give monsters.
