Open grass and the only ground in Valheim that is not actively trying to kill you. Everything you build first goes here, and the reason to leave is copper. Meadows is tier 1 of Valheim progression, home to 13 creatures and 14 gatherable resources. Defeat: Eikthyr. Everything below is read from the game files: what spawns here, what you can harvest, and the structures that generate in the biome.

Meadows FAQ
What creatures live in the Meadows in Valheim?
13 creatures spawn here. Each has its own resistances, so what you bring matters as much as your gear tier.
What resources are in the Meadows in Valheim?
14 distinct resources generate here. Worlds are seed-generated, so the biome and altitude are fixed but the exact positions are not.
What do you need before entering the Meadows?
The gear tier from the biome before it, fully upgraded rather than freshly crafted, and the resistance the biome tests. A fully upgraded set of the current tier beats the first unupgraded piece of the next one, every time.
What can you gather in the Meadows?
14 distinct resources spawn here. They are what the next crafting tier is built from, which is why a biome is usually visited for materials long before its boss is attempted.
How many creatures live in the Meadows?
13 of them, counted from the spawn rules that are not gated behind a boss kill. That distinction matters: several late-game creatures start appearing in early biomes once the world changes, and those are not natives.
