Animals

A partially complete Animal Tome.

Animals in Ōkami are part of a gameplay mechanic involving the use of feedbags to feed animals and gain Praise in return. Fed animals are recorded in the Animal Tome, which includes a picture, description, and percentage of animals fed for each type of animal that Amaterasu feeds. While it is not necessary for the Animal Tome to be completed, Amaterasu can collect a great deal of Praise by feeding all of the animals. Completion also grants a bronze trophy and achievement titled "All Creatures Great and Small".

Feedable animals are commonly found throughout all of Nippon, including both during the day and at night (except for sparrows and nightingales during the latter), but only on land. They can be fed by pressing the required button prompt upon approaching them, which then requires the player to select the right type of Feedbag. Types include seeds, herbs, meat, and fish, with most animals taking only one or two at most. Upon properly feeding an animal a short cutscene will play. Note that Amaterasu will use one bag to feed an entire group of animals at once, rather than one bag per animal.

Feedbags are commonly found inside various breakable and destructible objects, but can also be purchased at most merchants for 500 Yen.

The Canine Warriors are the only sapient animals available to be fed.
