Add some more info on what "monster clashes on swamp" is.

That one's actually correct as a singular

Enumeration of 1) wild, 2) formerly domesticated, and 3) mutated should be "animal"?

"animal spawn" is kinda treated as one thing in this case so the plural would be "animal spawns." Also it just sounds right to me.
Either that or add an apostrophe: "animal's spawns" but that's a little awkward.

I guess this is an error here: duck shouldn't belong to GROUP_POND_FISH.

Please move this to a hidden option and add it as a mod. The options list
is already way too big and tweaking natural animal spawns isn't something
we should be suggesting that players should typically adjust.

Summary
SUMMARY: Features "Add animal spawn setting."Purpose of change
Zombies are main enemies and partially loot source while animals are main meat source.
Increasing monster spawn will increase game difficulty but also increase food abundance, so separate spawn setting is required for better balancing.
Describe the solution
"is_animal" : trueto some json monster groups, these groups will use new spawn rate. Other groups will use base scaling factor.Additional context
There are 2 different code parts which choose monsters from the group, probably they must be merged somehow.
