Raccoon

Raccoons are a species of wildlife in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West.

Raccoons seen in the Horizon series appear to be common raccoons, a widespread species found across North America, and has been introduced to Japan as well as northwest and southeast Europe.

History[]

In the Old World[]

Raccoon zygotes were among the animals that were successfully collected before the Faro Plague eradicated the species and stored within ARTEMIS for later use in Project Zero Dawn.

In the New World[]

Despite not being among the animals listed by Charles Ronson as a pioneer organism,^[1] raccoons were released into the wilds, becoming common in the forests of the Sacred Lands, the Valleymeet and the Sundom, being most common in a small birch forest just across the westernmost of the rivers that surround the Devil's Thirst Bandit Camp. Whether they are indeed pioneer organisms and were released under GAIA's orders or were released by ARTEMIS during its independence is unknown.

Behavior[]

Raccoons are docile and quick to flee upon detecting Aloy, never turning aggressive. They tend to run among tall foliage, which can make them difficult to keep up with.
