Sniffer

A sniffer is a passive animal that digs seeds out of the ground and loves to sniff.

Spawning

 * experience points, if killed by a player or a tamed wolf.
 * 10% chance of dropping a if killed by a player or tamed wolf. Looting increases the chance by 2% per level, for a maximum of 16% with Looting III.

Behavior
Sniffers wander aimlessly, avoiding hazards and obstacles. They occasionally smell their surroundings and track seeds by pressing their nose to the ground and when they find a seed, they drop to the ground and use their noses to dig into the ground until they get torchflower seeds.

The following blocks are diggable by the sniffer:

Breeding
The player can feed the sniffers using torchflower seeds. When feeding them, the adult sniffers breed to create a snifflet. Parents have a five minute cooldown before they can breed again.

Healing
Sniffers are healed by health points each time they are fed a torchflower seed.

Snifflets
A baby sniffer is called a snifflet and they have a bigger head $$ than they do $$.

Sounds
Sniffers use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.
