This guide will specifically focus on everything you need to know about the Zoologist in Terraria 1.4, Journey’s End.

Who is the Zoologist?

The Zoologist is a NPC vendor that sells various items and vanity items that have an animal theme.

In order to get the Zoologist to arrive players must complete the following conditions:

  • A suitable house must be available for her to move in.
  • The Bestiary must be at least 10% filled out.

What is the Bestiary?

The Bestiary is also a new gameplay addition to Journey’s End. In the Bestiary (located next to the Inventory interface) there are a number of enemies and NPCs listed that players will encounter in the world. The Bestiary is tied to the world and not to the character. Once players see or defeat enemies and NPCs there will be a entry in the bestiary that describes that entry.
