Tetrapod

Tetrapods are the first land generator and the ninth generator overall. Tetrapods include any vertebrates that are not considered fish, belonging in the superclass Tetrapoda. Tetrapods include amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
== Description ==
== Design ==
Previously, the generator Tetrapod was named Reptile. However, this changed to Tetrapod in a later update. The tetrapod has three trophy animals, all stemming from the Rise of Reptiles update in Summer 2020.
=== Tetrapod ===
The tetrapod resembles a primeval amphibian. A large group of tetrapods swim inside a river in the savanna section of the Land garden, next to the hippo (Ungulates). rhinos (Ungulates), Crocodilies, and the Turtles. Two more rest along the riverside, close to the echidna (Monotremes), and the ducks (Anseriformes). The tetrapod animation is mostly consisted of them opening their mouths and wagging their tails. The creature specifically is unknown, but it most likely resembles a stem tetrapod that is now extinct, so there's a chance that it is a Hynerpeton. When clicked, the tetrapods make low "hooh" sound.
=== Original Tetrapod ===
The Original Tetrapod can be purchased for 10 in the Augmentations Console, which is one of the cheapest items in the entire store. It represents the previous look of the generator before the Land Garden was updated. It looked like a green lizard. For the Reptile, it is now a trophy animal stemming from Tetrapod.
=== Reptile ===
The reptile resembles a type of large lizard, or a gecko. Two of this creature walk on each side of the small mountain stream in the savanna, next to the waterfall near the lions (Feliform). Another solitary reptile strides in the forest near the ostriches (Palaeognathae) and the kangaroos (Marsupials). Two more reside in the Darwin Island. The reptile has a walking animation.
The lizards makes a clicking sound, like a gecko.
=== Archosauria ===
The archosaur resemble a pink creature somewhat similar to the labirynthodonts 300 million years ago. It does not appear in the main garden, but Archie the Archosaur's fossilzed remains lay in the hilly savanna region, behind the elephant. The archosaur has a walking animation similar to the reptile's, but slower.
Archie also appears suited and next to a podium in the Mesozoic Valley, with the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the first place, Spinosaurus on second place, and the Archaeopteryx on the third place, which is a reference to the community competition of Mesozoic Mania in which voters vote on their favourite dinosaurs. More archosaurs walk on a line next to the river, as well as a solitary archosaur walking on the same line, but not in the group.
The archosauria makes a crocodilia-like sound when clicked on.
=== Birds ===
The birds resemble three seagulls, likely of the genus Larus, flying in a V-pattern. Two seagulls fly around the savanna region; another one circles through the Arctic region; and two more fly through the plains and forest regions, flying through trees. In the Civilization garden, six different seagulls circle the Generators around the Age of Exploration tower. The bird has a flying animation of seagulls in a group of three.
They are silent when clicked on.
==== Red-footed Booby ====
This bird resemble a red-footed booby (Sula sula) and it flies at a different path than the other birds. Several more reside on Darwin Island. They are tan-coloured with blue beaks, and as the name suggests, red feet. Clicking on them prompts the Achievement Bird of Paradise. More on the achievement tab below. Another booby is located in the Civilization garden, and it also flies through the outskirts of the garden.

* According to the game, tetrapods were the first water dwellers to crawl to dry land. However, in real life, bacteria, plants, fungus, and arthropods all were on land prior to any vertebrates.
