Raccoons are an uncommon species of wildlife in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West, typically found in wooded areas. When killed, they drop loot vital for several crafting recipes.
Description[]
In the Old World, this creature was called the North American Raccoon, Procyon lotor, the largest of the Procyonidae family. Native to the North American continent, this scavenger thrived wherever humans lived and continues to do so in the New World.
Raccoons will not attack or cause any harm to Aloy. Rather, they will run away quickly when Aloy gets close unless undetected. They usually take one arrow to kill.
Loot Acquired []
When killed, raccoons will drop crafting items such as various types of meat and items useful for trading with merchants. In Zero Dawn, they will occasionally drop Raccoon Skin or Raccoon Bone, while in Forbidden West they will drop either Raccoon Bone or Raccoon Hide.
Best place to find Raccoons[]
The best place to find raccoons is in a small birch forest, just across the westernmost of the rivers that surround Devil's Thirst bandit camp.
