# Controlling New Animals in Rust How Enardo and LucasBattle use admin powers to control Rust's new animals, troll players on a one grid server, and pull off weeping angel scares.

Rust's admin tools let a server owner possess and pilot any animal in the game, so a cow, bear or chicken can be steered straight at unsuspecting players instead of wandering on its own AI. Enardo and LucasBattle built a whole trolling session around exactly that on Enardo's one grid random farming server and a 10x server, using the new animal models to confuse, chase and ambush players. The pair also leaned on the Displate sale page at [the Enardo Displate link](https://displate.com/l/enardo), where 1 displate is 22% off, 2 are 27% off and 3 or more are 33% off. ## What controlling the new animals actually means in Rust Admin possession turns a passive animal into a remote-controlled prop that can walk, stand still, follow a player or block a doorway. In Rust, server owners with admin rights can take control of an entity and move it around the map; applied to the new animal roster, that means a chicken can tail a farmer through his base and a bull can stare down a geared player at a monument. The trolling works because animals in Rust are normally harmless background noise. A player sees a pig near his furnace and ignores it, which is the moment the admin strikes: the pig starts following him, stops when he turns around, or lines up beside him at a workbench. Enardo's session pushed this across the full animal list, from cows, pigs and boars to wolves, horses, sharks, sheep, turtles, squirrels, bulls and frogs, so no creature on the map could be trusted. ## The bits that landed hardest Ten cows spawned together was the moment viewers kept repeating, because the absurdity scales fast. A single cow acting strange is a curiosity; ten of them standing in a field, all facing the same player, is a scene that breaks the normal rules of the game and forces a reaction. The same logic drove the smaller bits: a frog used as a joke about a French-speaking player, and a turtle that became a running gag when the admin kept asking it who it was. The weeping angel concept was the most creative idea in the session. The animal moves only when nobody is watching it, freezing in place the instant a player turns his camera toward it, which turns a farm animal into a horror antagonist. It is cheap to set up, needs no custom plugin beyond admin control, and produces genuine panic in voice chat, which is why several viewers suggested the same behaviour could be built into scarecrows. ## How to run this on your own server 1. Give yourself admin rights and enable the entity possession tools available to server owners. 2. Pick a target: a solo farmer at his base is easier to toy with than a roaming group. 3. Start small. One animal following a player for a minute is funnier than twenty animals spawned at once. 4. Escalate only when the player notices, then switch animals so he cannot predict the next one. 5. For the weeping angel bit, move only while the player's view is pointed away, and freeze the moment he looks back. 6. Keep it short. A bit that runs too long turns into griefing rather than a joke. The most common criticism of this style of video is volume: spawning a huge herd at once gets a laugh but kills the slow burn. Weirding a player out with one odd animal, letting him doubt what he saw, and only then adding more is the version that holds up in a real session and in a recording. ## What the new animal models add The new creatures are detailed enough that close inspection is part of the joke, down to anatomy nobody expected a developer to model that carefully. A cow standing still in front of a player is now a rendered object worth staring at, and that detail is what makes the stare-downs and the slow follow-cam moments work. Rust has been steadily expanding its wildlife beyond the original bears, boars, wolves and chickens, and each addition gives admins another tool. Cows, sheep, bulls and horses fill the farm role; frogs and turtles add small, harmless bodies that are inherently funny when they behave with intent. The practical effect for server owners is variety: a troll session no longer has to rely on the same bear chasing the same player. ## Typical viewer questions about admin trolling Viewers regularly ask whether this is possible on official servers and the answer is no, since possession requires admin rights on a community or privately hosted server. Others ask if the animals can damage players; the trolling value comes from behaviour and surprise, not from combat stats, so a controlled chicken is a psychological weapon rather than a threat. A third recurring question is how players react once they realise an admin is behind it. In practice most take it well when the bit is short and clearly a joke, and the ones who do not are usually the ones who got a twenty-animal stampede instead of a single strange cow. The balance between funny and annoying is the whole craft. ## Enardo's links and where to find the servers Everything used in the session is public: the servers are at https://enardo.gg, merch at https://enardo.store, the community at https://discord.gg/enardo and live streams at https://www.twitch.tv/enardo. The Displate discount is at https://displate.com/l/enardo. ## Final thoughts on the animal trolling session The video works because it treats Rust's new wildlife as a comedy tool rather than a survival mechanic, and the ten-cow moment and the weeping angel bit are the two ideas most likely to be copied by other server owners. Enardo, with LucasBattle alongside, keeps the pacing tight and lets the players' confusion carry the humour instead of scripting every reaction. Anyone running a community server now has a template: pick an animal, follow a farmer, and see how long it takes him to question reality.

On official servers the wildlife runs on its own AI and cannot be possessed by a player. **How does the weeping angel animal trick work?** An admin-controlled animal moves only while the player's camera is pointed away from it and freezes the instant he looks back. The result mimics the weeping angel monster: the creature closes distance in the gaps between glances, which is far more unsettling than a straight chase. **Is admin trolling against the rules?** On your own server it is a choice you make as the owner, and short, clearly comedic bits are generally accepted. On someone else's server, using admin powers to harass players or interfere with their progress can get your rights removed. **Which new animals appear in the session?** The roster covered includes cows, pigs, boars, chickens, wolves, horses, sharks, sheep, turtles, squirrels, bulls and frogs. Cows got the most screen time, including a ten-cow spawn that became the most quoted moment.
