Behavior Based on Human Population

Home Hider Behavior
Lightly Populated They are very aggressive, as food sources are more few and far between, which in turn makes them more desperate. In lightly populated areas, they will not give up as easily.
Moderately Populated They are what most consider normal Home Hiders. In moderately populated areas, attacks can persist, but with enough resistance, they will end up searching elsewhere for an easier target.
Severely Populated They are very calm, patient and relaxed. While they are still incredibly dangerous, their attacks are relatively infrequent due to an overabundant source of food. If they end up attacking, it's likely in a scenario where they have you cornered with no escape. Wherever you are, always remember to have at least two escape routes from every place you visit.
Unpopulated WARNING: If there is even one Home Hider in an area generally unoccupied by humans, chances of survival are slim to none. These areas include camp sites, resevoirs, and select national parks. Be cautious as you visit these areas. Any of these areas that have been found to contain Home Hiders have temporarily been shut down and restricted by law.
