Star Levels

The 34 Valheim creatures that can spawn with stars, and what that actually changes. Health multiplies by the level, so a two star creature has three times the health rather than four. 29 of them also have drops that scale, and those multiply differently again, doubling per star rather than rising with it.

Each star doubles the multiplier (×1, ×2, ×4), and it applies to the drop chance as well as the amount. Rows that do not scale are marked. No stars ×1 amount and chance · 1★ ×2 amount and chance · 2★ ×4 amount and chance

Health scales with the star level: a creature’s base health is multiplied by its level, so one star doubles it and two stars triple it (the bestiary lists both). The damage bonus per star is not quoted here, because no value for it could be read from the game files. Drop scaling is exact and shown in full above.

Valheim Star Levels: 34 Creatures

Valheim can spawn 34 creatures with stars. Each star adds the creature’s base health again, so a two star creature has triple the health, and for some creatures stars also multiply the drops. The damage bonus per star is not stored as readable data, so this page does not invent a number for it.

Valheim Star Level FAQ

What do stars mean in Valheim?

A star means a stronger variant of the same creature. 34 creatures can roll stars, and 29 of them also multiply their drops: each star doubles the amount, so a 2-star kill yields four times the base.

How much stronger is a 2-star creature in Valheim?

Its health is three times the base, because health is multiplied by the level and a 2-star creature is level 3. Drops are exact too: each star doubles both the amount and the drop chance, so a 2-star creature gives four times the base. The damage bonus per star could not be read from the game files, so this page does not quote a number for it.

Do starred creatures drop more in Valheim?

29 of the 34 creatures scale their drops with stars, so for those a starred kill is worth materially more than a plain one. For the rest the star adds health and damage without adding loot, which makes them a cost rather than an opportunity — and the table marks which is which.

Which creatures can have stars in Valheim?

Not all of them. The list here is the full set that supports star levels at all, drawn from the game files rather than observation, so a creature absent from it will never appear starred however long you farm it. Bosses in particular do not star.

Can you tame a starred creature in Valheim?

Yes, and it is usually worth the extra trouble: a starred tame keeps its multiplied health, and the offspring can inherit the star. That makes catching one starred animal a better long-term investment than catching several plain ones, because the pen does the rest of the work for you.
