Mars Fauna
Mars Fauna
Mars is the planet with an environment closest to Earth's, featuring a wide variety of animals to interact with and crops to feed them (and yourself) with... outside of the huge desert, where almost nothing lives.
Mars is a Cold planet, meaning animals from Hot or Temperate planets will not normally survive.

The Sandworm
Sandworms are alerted by player ground movement. They are the reason almost nothing else lives in the desert.
SHAI-HULUD
SHAI-HULUD
The Sandworm is more of an environmental hazard than a boss to kill, so your best way of surviving it is to run away! If you manage to hit its head enough times with explosion damage, it will leave you alone... for a while.
Thankfully, the Sandworm can only damage entities, not buildings, and is only attracted to player ground movement, so any way to keep yourself off the ground won't anger it. The atmosphere is too thin for airplanes and hang gliders, but there are other ways...
Sniffers
Sniffers are domesticatable animals found between -30 and -102°C. They require a Large Nest to lay their eggs and can be shorn for Sniffer Tufts. Their eggs can be cooked or extracted for Cream. They eat any Mars crop.
A sniffer.
Wraptors
Wraptors are domesticatable animals found between -15 and -100°C. They require a Large Nest to lay their eggs and can be shorn for Wraptor Feathers. Their eggs can be cooked or extracted for Wraptor Sugar. They eat any Mars crop.
A wraptor.
Glacian Sheep
Preferring extremely cold environments below -108°C, Glacian Sheep are domesticatable animals. They can be shorn for Glacian Wool, an amazing insulator. They eat any Mars crop.
Need to transport them a long way? Consider using an AE2 Spatial Storage Cell to carry them around in your pocket.

Snatcher
Snatchers are passive animals that like to steal your stuff! Attack them to retrieve your items, or feed them Raw Fish to tame them.
Once tamed, you can carry them on your back and equip them with a wooden chest. Press Habilidade Especial to throw them, and they will steal the contents of a nearby chest and bring it to you.
A snatcher.
Charger
Chargers are semipassive animals. You can tame them with any Mars crop to use them as a combat land mount.
Press Habilidade Especial for a headbutt attack, or press and hold Spacebar for a charge attack.
They can also be equipped with dyeable armor.
Chargers have a natural rivalry with Raiders. They will attack each other on sight.
Soarer
Soarers are passive animals found above -106°C. You can tame them with Raw Fish to use them as a flying mount.
They can't fly forever though, indicated by the wing icons on the top left, and will need to land occasionally. (You can feed them more Raw Fish to speed up their recovery.)
They're a great option for long-distance travel, and won't upset the sandworm either!
Surfer
Surfers are semiaquatic passive animals. You can tame them by sneaking up to them while they're lying on the shore, and feeding them raw fish. Once tamed, you can equip them with a saddle to swim quickly underwater too.
This doesn't sound particularly useful on Mars, but remember that you can transport entities around through AE2's Spatial Storage Disks, and there will be a certain oceanic icy moon in the future...
Surfers come in a variety of colors.
Pentetic Jellie
Pentetic Jellies spawn in Mars' Deep Desert and Martian Mountain biomes. They passively absorb radiation from players.
Eater
A top predator, Eaters are hostile animals found above -109°C. If you can manage to take one down, they can be eaten.
Cruncher
Crunchers are territorial miniboss predators. Feed them meat to stop their regeneration. They can also be eaten.
Glider
Despite their name, Gliders cannot be tamed or ridden. They are passive and live in areas above -105°C. They enjoy music and can be eaten.
Crusher
Crushers are semihostile animals found in herds in areas above -100°C. They can be killed for their meat and hard spikes.
Springling
Springlings are wild animals found above -108°C. Feeding them Saplings will let you ride them and extend their extremely long necks. They can also be eaten.
Goober
Goobers are lazy wild animals found above -109°C. They are passive and can be eaten.
Walker
The gigantic Walkers inhabit areas above -97°C. They are passive and can be eaten.
Raider
Raiders are hostile animals found above -109°C. They have a natural rivalry with Chargers. You can make them neutral by feeding them Raw Meat.
Toxlacanth
Toxlacanths are aquatic prey animals. It is recommended to kill them from a distance and cook their meat before eating.
Stackatick
One of the few animals that can survive the Martian desert, Stackaticks are passive prey animals. They can also be eaten.
Quake
Quakes are capable of absorbing large amounts of damage before releasing it back in a burst. Wait until they're recharging to attack!
Endermen
Mars has its own selection of Endermen species. All are passive except the one found underground.
Skeletal Raptor
An undead dinosaur. They can be found underground.
