== Strategy ==
The Ugly tag are five Animals that mainly provide a lot of Gold and some Food to cities that work them. The key bioticum in this set is Marabou, which not only buffs itself the more Ugly biotica you have, but also makes the other Uglies significantly stronger. Without Marabou, it isn't worth it to gather more Ugly biotica unless you plan on matching them with another set. It's important to note that four of the five Ugly biotica possess the Scavenger tag which makes leaning into that tag set very easy. Drafting Spotted Hyena, Marabou, and Titan Graveyard will get you all five Ugly biotica and a powerful pair of biotica that support Scavengers in Titan Graveyard and Vermiculite. This provides a good mix of Food, Science and Gold that can be placed across the savanna accordingly. From there, it depends on wider synergies and how much biodiversity you have available, but drafting Cape Buffalo to give extra food to your Animals (which will get buffed on the Uglies by Marabou), or Secretary Bird which is buffed by the two Birds in the Uglies are both good options. Secretary Bird also lets you draft the last Scavenger: Serval, which is also useful if you're leaning towards that set.
== Notes & Trivia ==
* The idea for this tag came from the South African term 'The Ugly Five', which lists these animals as the ones that no one wants to see. This a parody of the famous 'Big Five' (African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Lion, and Rhino), the animals most highly sought after by both hunters and tourists on safari.
