Animals in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

This article contains information about various animals in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. These animals can be collected in the wilderness. They are different from the animals in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, as they are not used to restore stamina via consumption. Rather, they act as a way to gain up heroism points by rescuing them via either capture cages, directly procuring them, or, if the animals prove large enough, by Fulton recovery. Although some animals are able to be captured without a fight, there are some animals that are significantly dangerous to encounter in open combat.
