Cerastes

The **Cerastes** is the sixth hydra. It is a boss animal, requiring the player to complete a boss mission to befriend. After successfully taming, it can be found permanently in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Cerastes is a navy variant of the Hydra, with one head instead of three, and has two curled horns sprouting from its head. Around where the player sits is a mass of spiky fur, coloured a blue-grey colour. The underside of the Cerastes' body is purple, and similarly coloured stripes run down its body.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 1800m.

## Tips for Boss Mission

The Cerastes mission is one of the most difficult boss missions in the game. The Cerastes' extremely wide slithering makes it tough to control, and tough to manoeuvre through arches and around trees. It is recommended to predict early where the Cerastes will move, and allow as much space as possible to move, but it will take many attempts to complete this mission.

## Baby Cerastes

* Jump from animals 8% faster
* Jump from animals 8% higher

## Trivia

* The Cerastes references the Cerastes of Greek mythology, which, as the description details, is said to have no spine.

## Notes

Charging Animals

**Charging animals**, also called **dashing animals** or **chargers**, are animals which are classified as charging based on their ability to charge forward and smash obstacles and animals for a period of time. Some animals, like buffalo and triceratops charge only once when you first ride it. Hippos also dash once when ridden, but also charge for the duration it is ridden in water. Moose and ankylosauruses stay charged until they smash an obstacle or animal, where the charge will disappear. There are currently 5 charging animals.

	+ The Baby Bangolin's ability "Animals are 20% faster in water" also reflects the naval mine theme.

Its black glasses are thick-framed and square, with the two eyepieces held together by layers of tape. Its clothes consist of a white shirt without a collar and baby blue pants separated by a single black line, probably representing a belt, running all the way around its midsection.

*It was not the coolest piglet at boar-ding school.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded Jungle 1 or greater.

## Trivia

* The Boaring is a play on the word 'boring'.
	+ It is possibly designed to look like a nerd due to nerds being stereotypically considered as boring and uninteresting people to listen to.

	+ The description, in turn, is also a reference to how nerds are considered uncool or unpopular.
	+ The Baby Boaring lacks hair, unlike the adult Boaring.
* The Boaring is referenced in the Borc description.

## Notes

* The Boaring was released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all original Savannah animals, Jungle and all other original Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.
* The Boaring's description was slightly different in the soft launch. It was originally "Was not the coolest piglet at boar school."
Crab

The robe fades slightly into a cool grey towards the hind end, with vertical lines also slowly becoming more evident towards the rear. Its face features white hair atop its head, bushy white eyebrows, a relatively thin white moustache, which is in two pieces, and a trademark Aristotle beard.

## Description

*The famous philosopher turtle that was not shellfish with its knowledge.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Olympus 5 or greater.
* Giant Turtle tamed.
* Ride past 750m in Olympus.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is medium due to it being a tier 3 animal. It will appear in just over half the runs the player does, and never before 750m.

## Trivia

* The Aristurtle is a pun on Aristotle, a famous Greek philosopher.
	+ The description references this, and also contains a second turtle pun: "shellfish" instead of 'selfish'.
* The Philosoraptor is the only other animal that plays on a philosopher.

## Notes

* The Aristurtle was released on the 17th of September 2017 in version 1.11.0 along with dragons, other turtles and hydras.

*This is what really happens when you throw pearls before swine.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 1 or greater.
* Wild Boar tamed.

## Baby Beautiful Boar

* Mating animals appear 12% more often
* *Taming mating animals is 1% quicker (passive)*

## Trivia

* The description is a reference to a line in the bible from Matthew 7:6, in which he said "do not... cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet". The verse can be found here.
	+ This in turn plays on the idea that rather than just destroying the pearls, the pearls actually turn the 'swine' into a beauty.
* The Baby Beautiful Boar's mating abilities reference how beautiful individuals are more attractive, therefore they have a higher chance of finding love.

## Notes

* The Beautiful Boar was released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all original Savannah animals, Jungle and all other original Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.

## Description

*The Cash Cow worked its way out of the bull pen to get to where it is today.*

## Ability

The Cash Cow will double the player's zoo (all three Sky Zoo, Space Zoo and Ocean Zoo) income; that is when the player 'Opens for Business'. That money can be doubled again by watching an advertisement. More specifically, the Cash Cow doubles the price of each individual habitat. The Cash Cow does not double Space Zoo .

If the player obtains the Cash Cow as a part of the Legendary Lion Subscription, the player will earn 4x zoo income instead. However, the Cash Cow will not actually be in the zoo; the player will only receive its effect.

* **When angry:** The Cash Cow, identically to buffalo, bucks jerkily at an even pace.
* **In habitat:** The Cash Cow walks around, occasionally grazing the ground of the habitat.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** The Cash Cow waves its head and moves its body from side to side, with the legs waving like jelly.

## Trivia

* The description is a possible reference to the phrase "breaking out of the pack", which is fitting as in real life Cash Cow is when a company makes a profit far exceeding the money spent and the phrase "breaking out of the pack" is a business term where a business is able to separate itself from its competitors and succeed financially.
* The name, like most other epic animals, incorporates alliteration.

	+ This can be proved by riding one in Savannah to begin with and riding seven different animal species in a row including a buffalo, with the Trojan Zebra appearing.
* The Cash Cow could be obtained for free during the Emu Challenge, in which the top 10 participants would receive one, and in the Raptor Challenge, where the top 70 participants received one.

It also has an ombré of colours on its tail that is intended to appear eye catching and beautiful.

## Description

*From suburban bird to celebrity talk show gigastar, in truth all credit is due to its manager.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 3 or greater.
* Emu tamed.
* Ride past 2200m in Outback.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 2200m.

## Baby Dame Emu

* Crates give 25% more coins
* Missions give 20% more coins

## Trivia

* The Dame Emu is a reference to Australian icon Dame Edna.
	+ The Dame Emu's description references Dame Edna's "manager" actually being the creator and actor of her character, comedian Barry Humphries.
		- When playing as Dame Edna, Humphries does indeed always refer to himself as the manager, never mentioning that he and Dame Edna are the same person.
	+ The Baby Dame Emu's abilities boosting coin income may reference the glitz and glamour of showbiz, especially how the character Dame Edna was created to satirise upper-class snobbishness and celebrity status.

## Notes

* The Dame Emu was released in version 1.3.0 on the 13th of October 2016 along with Outback and all other Outback species.
Damselfly

The **Damselfly** is the fifth dragonfly by zoo order. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their dragonfly habitat to level 2 or higher.

## Appearance

The Damselfly has a deep purple head, covered by short red hair and a comical yellow tiara that looks relatively flat, complete with red edges. The Damselfly's tail can also be seen to be deep purple, with its wings being a lighter hue in comparison. The Damselfly wears a yellow dress over its thorax and abdomen, with a red corset around its 'waist'. Its six legs are coloured a very dark purple.

## Description

*Other insects are distressed by this predator.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Garden 3 or greater.
* Dragonfly tamed.
* Dragonfly habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 1200m in Garden.

## Baby Damselfly

* Taming animals is 10% quicker
* Flying animals swoop 5% slower

## Trivia

* The Damselfly is a play on a damselfly, using the first part of the word, "damsel", a young unmarried woman. A damsel is commonly part of a fairytale quest, with a "damsel in distress" being the young woman that the hero must find and save.
	+ The description plays on both a dragonfly's predatory nature and the saying "damsel in distress".

## Notes

* The Damselfly was released in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018 along with Garden and the first five Garden species.
* The Damselfly was designed by Haley Ashburn and Christopher Ray, Rodeo Stampede fans, in the Insect Contest. The post is here.

Carboarn Crystal

The **Carboarn Crystal** is the second VIP animal.

## Appearance

The Carboarn Crystal shares a body template with the Wild Boar. It has a deep-ish purple coloured body, with many luminous long pointy magenta crystals growing from the top of its head and back. On its snout, it has miscellaneously placed square crystals, coloured a darker purple. The Carboarn Crystal emits a bright pink aura under its body, as well as small pink sparkles.

## Requirements

* Spend enough real money in the game to reach VIP level 2 (amount varies per country and currency).

## Abilities

* Ride for an extra 4s before Carboarn Crystal gets angry
* Ride faster through water on Carboarn Crystal
* Angry Carboarn Crystal accelerates slower
* Get bonus coins while bucking on Carboarn Crystal

1. ↑ **Note:** The ability is an improvement on those of upgraded boars, which the Carboarn Crystal is based on.

## Behaviour

* **When ridden:** The Carboarn Crystal hops up and down rapidly but moves at a slow pace.
* **When angry:** The Carboarn Crystal accelerates rapidly when angry and bucks at a rapid speed, making it close to uncontrollable.
* **In habitat:** The Carboarn Crystal walks around, occasionally sniffing the ground of their pen.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** The Carboarn Crystal sniffs two times in front of them, on their left and on their right.

## Trivia

* The Carboarn Crystal is a pun on 'carbon crystal'. Carbon is the primary element in many popular gemstones and crystals, such as diamonds.
	+ The description is a reference to the James Bond film *Diamonds Are Forever*, as well as the theme song of the same name by Shirley Bassey, which was also notably sampled in 'Diamonds from Sierra Leone' by Kanye West. The song can be heard here.

## Notes

* The Carboarn Crystal was released in version 1.24.0 on the 23rd of October 2019 on iOS and the 25th of October on Android, along with all pangolins, roosters, kirins and other VIP animals.
* In version 1.26.1 on the 17th of February 2020, the Carboarn Crystal gained abilities that made it equal to an upgraded boar, with some improved attributes.
* The ability "Angry Carboarn Crystal accelerate slower" contains a mistake. "Accelerate" should be written as "accelerates".
	+ This may be due to the ability being directly copied from the habitat upgrades of the boar habitat.
		- This was fixed at an unknown date.

Class: Secret

This page contains the full basic information about **secret animals**, including how to get them and how much XP they give. Secret animals are animals that can only be found and befriended when the player completes a secret mission. The player is given hints about secret missions in-game. All secret animals give animal mastery XP, and are classified under tier 5. The full list of secret animals is below, as well as how to get all secret animals.

## Animals

**IMPORTANT:** Tips on how to obtain secret animals are below, however, visit each individual animal page below for more detailed information, tips and tutorial videos.

1. ↑ The Trojan Zebra can only be found from Savannah 4 if the player begins on an epic or VIP animal.
2. ↑ The Anglerosaurus can only be found from Jurassic 5 onwards as the ankylosaurus habitat cannot possibly be upgraded to level 3 before this.
3. ↑ The Cant can only be found from Garden 2 onwards as the ant habitat cannot possibly be upgraded to level 4 before this.
4. ↑ The Pangoalin can currently be found from Great Wall 4 as it is bugged so that it can be found randomly in the stampede.

## Secret Animal Hints

The player, when switching between zoos, entering a zone or in the Zoo/Retry menu when the player crashes, will receive some hints or messages. Some of these are **secret animal hints**, where the player is given a significant clue on how to get secret animals. Each secret animal has its own hint, and the respective hint disappears once the secret animal has been tamed, unless the hint applies to more than one animal. The list is below.

* Animals are 10% faster in water

## Trivia

* The Crookodile is based on a crook, or a thief.
	+ The only other animal that plays on a thief is the Crowbarolophus.
	+ The Baby Crookodile's ability where missions give 15% more coins plays on this too in that a crook's mission would be to steal money.

Cementipede

The **Cementipede** is the sixth centipede in the game. It is a boss animal, meaning that the player must complete a minigame in order to tame it. After successfully taming, it can be found permanently in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Cementipede looks very similar to the Centipede, excepting a few changes. Its main body colour, and the colour of its legs, is slightly duller than that of the Centipede.

## Tips for Boss Mission

The Cementipede boss mission is very simple, being one of the most straightforward in the game. The player must ensure to eat as many ants as possible, while avoiding the minefield of rocks which are all spaced far enough apart for the player to travel through with ease. The player is also recommended to avoid spider webs, as, while the Cementipede can outrun the spider that appears from behind, there is a risk that the Cementipede could become angry and slow down.

## Baby Cementipede

* Eating animals is 8% more effective
* Bucks are 10% smaller

## Trivia

* The Cementipede is a play on cement, and more generally, a construction worker, who tends to work with cement.

## Description

*Will melt your heart and in your mouth.*

## Requirements
