I mean, adding the "terrain" field to all NPCs is as simple as loading this extension and then write in chat:
/bulkchange npc source Terrain
???

You'd want /bulkchange npc terrain Temperate/Coastal or something like that. I'm not sure thats what you want. It wont make that field show in the 5E npc view or anything, but the data will exist on the NPC record and Encounter Safari will see it.
I suspect you want a more precise way to set these... This is just a example of how an extension works and flipping through npcs for you to get started.---

Thank you for the input!
What I’m looking for is an extension that adds a field called “Terrain” to the NPCs sheet. After that,I can manually populate each NPC with different values, hopefully from a drop down menu or something like that.
After this, I can use the amazing Encounter Safari to filter.
I have no idea where to start from though. I hope I can some instruction manual somewhere.

Ah, ok I misunderstood but I know what you're talking about now.
Something else you should have is:
Climate (temperate, ocean, fresh water, desert, etc...)
Frequency (common,uncommmon,rare/etc)
Diet (Carnivore,Herbavore/etc)
Activity (day/night/any)
Organization (clan, solitary, pack)
NumberAppearing (3d12+5)
That sorta stuff---

Celestial, you understand me now!
I wan to to be able to have fields that I can populate, so I can more easily filter and prepare for random encounters. Chief among them will be "Terrain" or "Environment", but the fields you suggest are absolutely important too. If you have any idea how to easily do this, drop me a line!
