Introduction

Welcome to your official guide to the Harvest Haven Exotic Animal License (H.H.E.A.) system! This license allows players to house, care for, and in some cases, breed exotic animals within the Harvest Haven server. 

Before applying, it is important to read and understand the following policies, restrictions, and care expectations. The goal of this system is to promote ethical, immersive gameplay where animals are well cared for and enclosures reflect their natural needs.

What is an Exotic Animal License?

The Exotic Animal License is a special permit that allows players to own exotic animals with species-specific needs and behaviors. Each license is issued per species and is tied to a specific property. 

Licenses must be:

• Clearly displayed near the corresponding enclosure

• Issued only after staff has approved the space

• Followed exactly to remain valid

Failure to comply with H.H.E.A. regulations will result in the revocation of your license, the removal of your animals, and the possible denial of future applications.

Application Requirements

To be eligible for an exotic animal license, you must:

• Have a registered property

• Build an enclosure that meets the minimum space and feature requirements for the species

• Submit an Exotic Animal License Application

• Wait for staff approval prior to receiving your animals

Each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Staff will visit your property to confirm the enclosure is safe, secure, and enriching before animals can be delivered. 

If one of your animals dies, you must reapply. A staff member will need to re-verify your enclosure before a replacement can be issued.

Licensing Rules

You may NOT:

• Trade, sell, or forge any license

• Trade, sell, or breed any animal that lacks proper breeding approval

• Capture and domesticate any exotic animal found in the wild

You MAY:

• Purchase licensed animals from the official Licensing Office or approved server breeders

• House multiple animals of the same species (if allowed)

• Include approved companion animals in the enclosure for enrichment

  • Example: A mimic octopus may benefit from small passive fish in its tank.

Breeding & Sales Policy

Only certain exotic species are eligible for breeding. Each species profile will clearly indicate its breeding status and where offspring may be sold. 

Some animals may only be bred and sold to the Harvest Haven Zoo or Aquarium. Others may be bred and sold to other licensed players. 

If a species is not approved for breeding, it cannot be bred under any circumstance.

Selling or gifting animals to players without a valid license is prohibited.

Violating this rule will result in immediate license revocation and forfeiture of all exotic animals on your property.

Farming Exception

While most exotic animals are protected from culling or exploitation, Emus and Ostriches are approved for livestock farming. These two species may be:

• Bred in higher numbers

• Culled for drops

• Housed in functional farm environments (provided all enclosure standards are still met)

They remain under license regulation and must not be sold or traded without proper licensing, but they are the only exotic species approved for meat and material harvesting.

Animal Care & Enclosure Expectations

Each animal in the H.H.E.A. program has its own care profile that outlines:

• Minimum and maximum population limits

• Required land, water, or airspace dimensions

• Key environmental features (plant life, terrain type, heat/cold protection)

• Companionship needs

• Dietary information (for immersion/enclosure design)

• Any special behaviors or enrichment notes
  
  

You must follow these requirements to maintain your license. These profiles can be found in the Harvest Haven Exotic Animal Compendium.

Final Notes

• Exotic animals are not meant to be farmed or traded freely—this system is designed for realism, enrichment, and responsible care.

• Emus and Ostriches are the exception, and may be treated as farm animals within reason.

• Each license is a privilege. Repeated infractions may lead to a permanent loss of access to exotic animals.

• Players are encouraged to make their enclosures not only functional but also beautiful and immersive.

Exotic Animal Compendium

Welcome to the official field manual for the Exotic Animal License Program of Harvest Haven. 

This compendium serves as a practical reference for all approved conservationists, homesteaders, and all those seeking to responsibly care for rare or protected species across Harvest Haven.

Each profile contains: 

• Species overview and temperament

• Proper enclosure dimensions and habitat design

• Enrichment and environmental features

• Dietary notes

• Breeding eligibility and licensing restrictions

• Social grouping needs and isolation flags

This handbook is regularly reviewed by the Harvest Haven Wildlife Council. Your participation in this program helps us preserve biodiversity, educate the community, and create respectful homes for creatures that might otherwise be overlooked or mistreated. 

Remember:

• Enclosures must meet the minimum standards listed

• Licenses must remain visible at all times

• Only approved species may be bred or sold

Do your part. Keep the wild safe and let it thrive beside you.
