    There is a perfect way to do this and you can do it right away, in a few hours.

    Couple of small tips.
    Obviously, the stronger you are the better.
    I'd say bring a Melee weapon so you don't run out of ammo. Investing in the Dueling skill is helpful but not necessary.

    Anyway, let's get to it.
    We will be visiting the Jemison planet in Alpha Centauri System. That's where New Atlantis is but we're not going there.
    Instead, just find any place on the planet where the destination will read Mountains.
    We don't want Deciduous Forest, we need Mountains.
    The reason we are choosing Jemison is because it's a set planet (always the same) and because it's a lvl 1 planet, which is the lowest in terms of difficulty.

    We are going to find 4 species of creatures here.
    Out of these we want to farm just one and that is the Herding Cutterhead Herbivore
    Like the name suggests, they won't attack unless provoked but thankfully they are complete pushovers.
    Even better they are always in packs of 5-10 so this method is going to net you the achievement in a few hours.
    Even the hardest ones will fall in a matter of a few stabs.
    If you are having trouble you can also lower the difficulty to Very Easy when doing this.

    Out of the remaining three, there's a frog type creature called the Hunting Tuskfrog that you won't see much of.
    Feel free to kill it.
    And then there's Pack Coralbugs and Apex Parrothawks.
    The former can be very dangerous when in packs but relatively safe to kill if alone.
    However if you spot more than one, better leave it alone.
    The Apex Parrothawks are, by far, the worst.
    Not only are these guys really dangerous, they can and will steal many Herding Cutterhead Herbivore (HCH) kills.
    They are also really agile. Honestly, these guys make Cliff Racers look like a Sunday stroll.

    Regarding HCHs, their attack is laughable and they might even try to run away but you can catch up to them with your booster pack.
    If you are starting to see the bodies of the creatures you have killed, just jump to another Mountains spot in Jemison and do it all over again.

    You can view how many you have killed in the Pause menu, then Y and under Combat you'll see how many creatures have been killed.
    NG+ does not reset kills.

    One last tip that is extremely important.
    Because you will be on one planet for a long time, this means no fast traveling and no screen loading.
    So no auto-saving.
    Absolutely make sure to save your game every once in a while because you don't want to have to do this more times that you need to.

    Happy hunting!

    drownedLTspeirsJust wanted to add instead of a melee weapon I used the cutter to save ammo. Takes out even strong creatures pretty easily on hard difficulty.

    Maxumilli0nAlien Reanimation power helps if you have it. You can just revive the animals, kill, rinse and repeat instead of running around the planet.

    xxHANCHOxx386 creatures killed and no achievement... Anyone else had issues?

    Now 1093 creatures killed, no achievement.

    CosmicRunawayI'm having the same problem as xxHANCHOxx, where my stats say I've killed over 300 creatures, but the achievement hasn't unlocked. I wonder if only certain creatures count?

    xxHANCHOxxDon't think it's certain creatures Cosmic, I have many friends all with the achievement doing pretty much same thing and same creatures. TA has marked the game to have buggy achievements and there are threads on reddit for bugged achievements. Will just have to wait till they patch it, maybe in NG+ or "mAkE a NeW cHaRaCtEr" as we're being told to do... Which is not the point nor should be the solution.

    D0NTMoCKMeI'll be doing this one soon. My Fixer achievement didn't pop right away, but when I went into the app it showed it as unlocked and also when I was scanned it was there.

    creech42Just got this achievement. I had the same problem as some others with it not popping after killing 400+ "creatures." I decided that I would try out some of the new game plus stuff and when I went in to the SPOILER and the credits started the achievement popped. Might be worth a try for some to save the grind.

    I also waited until I was level 50, but I don't think it's related (just adding for full disclosure).
