Gazelle

Range: 56

Gazelle are mobility-based Bovine builds that can be playable in the African and Asian servers. They have keen senses that help spot predator builds. Their main playstyle is using their high mobility stat to outrun or/and dodge the predator builds like Lions, Leopards, and Cheetahs.

## Overview

This build gave up some of their HP in order to pursue a more mobile build. They have an amazing mobility stat, which they use to evade predators. They also have decent intelligence and stealth. Which is needed to spot predators, and hide in tall grass.

## Abilities and Skills

### Long Legs

Increases the mobility stat of the build, and increases perception.

### Horns

Males and Females both have horns. This increases the amount of damage from head attacks, and increases intimidation.

### Keen Eye

Increases the chance of detecting predators, which is needed in the grassland of Africa

## Tier Placement

Gazelle are the premier runner of the Africa server. They can run for long distances because of their high stamina and also have some camouflage abilities that prevent carnivore players from detecting them. Additionally, Gazelle have keen senses to detect potential threats. They have a major downside, their little bulk makes them unable to take hits from predators and cannot easily detect crocodiles in the waterhole, so they get B tier.
Gamertag

Gamertags are the name of the Species , or genus of Animals.
The Gamer tag is also known as the name for Guilds . For example, Amphibians , are a guild.
Therapsids are an example of a guild changing their gamer tag. This happened during the Cretaceous, when the Therapsid guild changed their name to Mammals, after the final non-mammalian therapsid was eliminated.
Gambian Pouched Rat

The Gambian pouched rat (mirror builds: Southern giant pouched rat, Emin's pouched rat and Kivu giant pouched rat) is a Rodent from the African server. The build is so named because of its characteristic cheek pouches. This is also among the largest Rodent builds.

## Tier Placement

A-tier, because of better stats than Rat players and their alliance with Human players to detect game-ending landmines and [Tuberculosis] debuff.
Gorgonicthys

Gorgonicthys was a banned arthodire Placoderm build. It was playable during The Late Devonian Expansion in present meta Ohio. It reached 6 meter in length, making it one of the largest "conventional" Placoderm builds. It, along with the entire Placoderm faction, were banned at the end of The Devonian Expansion.

## Overview

Gorgonicthys once reached 6 meters in length. However, it had less HP than builds of its own size, not to mention the rework of finding the HP of arthrodires has also reduced this build's size. It has greater Mobility due to its slimmer shape compared to Dunkleosteus. Like other Placoderms, it had a decent Defense stat due to the bony plates. Lastly, it has a strong bite Power, but not as strong as Dunkleosteus.

## Moveset

**Larger Eyes (Passive, Utility)**- Allows better vision, allowing you to see and hunt deeper and at nighttime.

**Vortex Chomp (Active, Attack)**- A very heavy-hitting attack that does piercing damage and can rip out flesh.

**Bony Plating (Passive, Defense)**- Negates critical hits. Also increses maximum Stamina and EXP.

**Monstrous (Passive, Misc.)**- Provides a massive Resolve debuff to all builds smaller than it.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. It was a formidable ganker, allowing it to body Fish mains quite easily while being formidable in a fight as well. Its only bad matchup however, was its contemporary Dunkleosteus.

## Summary:

### Pros:

* High Power and Defense
* Above-average Health
* Powerful attacks that can rip off pieces of flesh, thus eliminating the need for bigger sizes, and discouraging the use of piling up Evolution Points on HP.
* Powerful Intimidation debuff.
* Powerful night vision.

### Cons:

* Can be griefed by Dunkleosteus.
* Lacking in other stats.
* Large size requires high EXP upkeep.

Electric Catfish

Electric Catfish (Malapteuridae) are a family of Catfish builds playable in the Nile River server. These builds are an example of miror speccing (convergent evolution), where builds from different guilds, factions or classes make builds with similar playstyles. This build can generate up to 450 volts of electricity and is a nocturnal build.

## Overview

The Electric Catfish has a high Power and Defense stat due to their electric abilities. It does not have much Health compared to other Catfish build, weighing only 23 kg. Being solitary, it does not have much in terms of Intelligence. It is also rather sluggish.

## Moveset

**Electroreception (Passive, Utility)**- Motion shown on minimap.

**Discharge (Active, Attack)**- An AoE attack that deals moderate damage with the chance to combo into [Cardiac Arrest].

**Barbels (Passive, Utility)**- Allows you to detect other players through taste. Also augments your [Olfaction].

## Tier Placement

A-tier. It can swallow builds up to half its size. It might not hunt in packs and it might have a weaker electric attack, but it has a rigid hitbox, barbels and a larger mouth compared to the Electric Eel.

Giant Cichlid

Boulengochromis microlepis is a build commonly known to the playerbase as the giant cichlid.It is the only member in its genus. It is known for its habit of respawning in respawn points used by other builds. While this build can rival the Peacock Bass in size, the latter is much heavier, being 12 kg. Neverethless, it is still viable.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. These builds have above-average Health for most cichlid builds sincè the maximum weight they can achieve is only 4 kg.They also die upon completing their main quest, like salmon. However, it makes up for what it lacked in Health with Mobility.

Gaboon Viper

Gaboon Viper is a deceptively bulky viper build with one of the fastest striking speed, the longest front fangs of up to 2 inches and the highest venom yield.

## Overview

Gaboon Vipers have the highest defense stat of any venomous builds and near unbeatable stealth. A great venom dose is enough to take down medium-large targets despite the underpowereed toxicity. They are patient builds with little aggression, making them better ambushers. The long fangs can deal even more physical piercing damage than any other vipers too.

## Tier Placement

A Tier. Its lack of versatility and low aggression hinders their supremacy in the meta but it is still very successful in the jungle maps of the African server. They can still be outmaneuvered by other builds as their normal moving speed is standard.
Laika

## Laika the dog main

Laika was a dog main who became the first non-human player/robot player in the space server, and the first to orbit the Earth Server.

Born 1954, Laika was roaming the streets of the Moscow server. Just three years later, she was the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into outer space on 3 November 1957.

Sadly, Laika's game play ended in November of 1957 when the cabin of Sputnik 2 overheated. However, her legacy lives on and she is fondly remembered by many human mains to this day.
Edaphosaurus

The Edaphosaurus was a banned pelycosaur build similar to the Dimetrodon build, apart from its diet. The name of this build means "pavement lizard". This was one of the builds in the herbivore faction. Edaphosaurus got EXP from foraging, not PvP.

## Tier Placement

C-tier. Similar stats except Power with Dimetrodon builds. It also boasts the same advantages and disadvantages of its sail.

**Warning: Edaphosaurus alongside other non-mammalian sinapsids have been known by the community as "mammal like reptiles". Data miners have recently said that they are no longer considered reptiles but rather stem-mammals due to the fact that reptiles are exclusive to the sauropsid group. So stop referring to Edaphosaurus and other non-mammalian sinapsids as "reptiles" cause they aren't reptiles.**
Leptoptilos

Leptoptilos, which includes the adjutants and the marabou stork, are large tropical stork builds found in the African and southern Asian servers. Their name means thin (*lepto*) feather (*ptilos*). These Bird builds are known to play as scavengersexcept for the lesser adjutant, which is made as a wetland build in mind.

## Overview

These builds, while normally scavengers (except for the Lesser Adjutant), has quite a good Power stat. Its Health stat is also quite great for a Bird build. It is also capable of soaring, a trait usually reserved for high Mobility aerial builds. Being solitary, it also does not much in the way of Intelligence.

## Moveset

**Flight (Active, Mobility)**- Allows the user to fly.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. This build has enough stats and survivability to make use of its generalist loot sources, unlike Vultures who are specialized for eating defeated players only. They can also hold their ground against all but the deadliest of players.

## Leptoptilos robustus

In the island servers of Flores, where downgraded Human builds called "Hobbits" lived, there was once a playable powerful Adjutant build called Leptoptilos robustus. It could barely make use of its flight capabilities, but that did not stop this build from having overpowered stats, allowing it to body anything in its island home, even the aformentioned Hobbits. It was so OP that the devs have to throw in a volcanic eruption to ban this build and its entire server, as it can easily make the game unplayable for Flores players.

Largemouth Bass

Largemouth Bass is a carnivorous freshwater bass with many regional names and represents the state of Georgia, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama. It is popular for recreational fishing for human mains. Largemouth Bass are known to be often invasive outside of captivity, being able to adjust their feeding habits. With their large mouth, they are able to engulf prey that are more than half their body length.

## Overview

On average, the bigmouth bass grows up to almost half a meter in three years. It has above average HP for a fish. Their mottled greenish coloration helps them blend in submerged vegetation for ambush attacks. However, their teeth are neither big nor very sharp. They can only make short, quick bursts of speed of up to 18-20 mph and their top swimming speed caps out at 11.8 mph.

## Tier Placement

B tier. They are specialised ambush predators that can maintain viability within freshwater servers and cause decline or extinction of species in several areas like a Canadian province and Japan. Their lack of power and standard defense for a fish while not being one of top in terms of the other stats meant that this build is not too dominant. They can certainly grief lower tiers like Salmon.

Heron

Herons are tall, carnivorous bird builds playable in pond servers worldwide. They vary in different sizes varying in different tier depending on the sizes but the average is B tier. They are known to be aggressive predators and territorial.

## Tier Placement

They have specked into a snake like neck that is useful for grabbing enemies in the pond. The only bad matchup is the human build but this is more or less not much of a concern. Smaller ones because of their small neck are less viable while larger Heron are more viable due to their longer neck, even breaking into S tier. They have a versatile carnivorous diet, being able to feed on fishes (primary food source), amphibians, reptiles, insects and etc. Herons are also great hunters of small aquatic creatures. They stand patiently in shallow water or on the shoreline, keeping very still until their prey comes within striking distance. With their sharp beaks and long necks, they can swiftly snatch fish and swallow them whole. Great Blue Herons typically hunt voles in meadows with short grass with this tactic. They are also able to use their feet to grab small prey. Some herons may also employ tools like baits to attract prey.

Jaguar

The Jaguar's base stats

**Jaguars** are a build that have debuted in the middle of the Pleistocene. They have been playable ever since.

## Overview

Jaguars are a powerful build from the family Felidae. they made their first debut in the mid Pleistocene, cementing their placing as one of the most powerful cat builds, with incredibly high attack and stealth stat.

Thanks to their ability, Jungle Tooth, if a Jaguar scores a critical hit, such as on a target build's neck, the damage pierces all armor, making criticals unresistable.

## Tier Placement

As an S tier, jaguars are virtually unchallenged by lower builds, and are top predators of their environment, because of their high attack and stealth stat. Though otters and caimans do often bully them, jaguars can still defeat them 1v1; thus, they have cemented their place in S Tier. Furthermore, because of their powerful bite, and not absurdly large size they can eat anything they want. Unlike leopards, which only eat small to medium large sized prey, and tigers which cannot eat small animals, the jaguar can kill animals as big as domestic cattle, but is small enough to fall back on smaller prey without starving to death.

## Moveset

1. **Roar** - Intimidates other builds causing their resolve to be crippled
2. **Apex Eyes** - Negates all stealth bonuses and can see through camouflage
3. **Jungle Tooth** - Guaranteed critical hit, bypasses all armor
4. **Amphibious** - Can swim in water with no problem while killing other amphibious builds such as caimans and anacondas

## Trivia

-At one point the Jaguar was considered to be the Lion's closest living relative before a new study revealed that the closest living relative of the Lion was the Leopard.

-According to various studies, Jaguars hybridized with Lions at some point in the Pleistocene. This gave Jaguars better optical nerves and a stronger bite.

Fossa

Fossas are builds native to the Madagascar server, which is also home to lemurs, sifakas and the removed Elephant Bird. This build superficially resembles Cat builds, but are actually part of the Viverid class.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. These builds are efficient DPS-dealers, easily defeating the lightweight builds and also banded together to take down midweights. These builds also had no unfavourable matchups but what brings them down to B-tier is their suspectibility to disease debuffs.
Heat Death

The Heat Death is a theory developed by Human Dataminers which is how the game will become unplayable and you can't spawn in the game even if you have a Super-Intelligence build which can take over the whole entire game and started at the very beginning of the game before the Earth Server was added and traveled at the speed of which the Graphics engine takes to run. Humans can not take over the entire game because of the fact that the game is being added stuff at a increasing rate(probably more devs being hired).
Kangaroo

Kangaroos are mammals that play on the Australia server. They belong to the marsupial guild which normally fail into lower tiers due to their lack of intelligence, but mostly their failure to keep up with many invasive builds which took over their server recently. However, kangaroos are on of the few Australian builds which mostly benefitted from this shift in the meta. Currently they are an absolutely broken build in their server because all of the shifts benefited them, although it is like they are playing on easy mode right now as their are almost no notable predatory builds within their server. This is to the point of human players having to cull them to keep their numbers in check. As of a result the kangaroo build ranges from a high B to A tier ranking. They are held back because they could easily fall off if a proper predatory build was introduced into their server.

## Abilities

### Semi-Prehensile tail

Acts as a third limb which they can stand on to deliver brutal kicks that can disembowel enemies.

### Drowning status

Can drown enemies, most notably canine players, underwater with little effort

## Notable Builds + Matchups

Grey kangaroo - most generalist, widespread and successful kangaroo build - A-

Red Kangaroo - Successful and most powerful kangaroo build. The strongest males have zero non-human predators and can body dingo players.

Tree Kangaroo - An arboreal kangaroo build which is low tier trash with a tiny playerbase

Procoptodon

**General Matchups (best to worst)**:

Fox (prey on joeys)

Perentie

Wedge-tailed eagle

Dingo

Saltwater crocodile (not a widespread playerbase but a completely one-sided matchup)

Human (hunting, vehicle collision)
Evolution Point

A Evolution Point (often abbreviated as as EP, EVO Points, EVO Genes, EVO Exp or EVO and sometimes called DNA Points) is a numerical representation of an organism's potential to evolve and a unit of measurement used within Outside to quantify a Faction, Clan and/or Guild’s collective experience and evolutionary progression through the game.

While having a similar function to EXP Points in other tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) and role-playing video games, major different is that Evolution Points are used to unlocking new cosmetic options, body parts, traits, perks and abilities within the Creature Editor. Allowing players to evolve their creatures by introduce a new skin color, body parts, traits, perks and abilities within their player characters, becoming what many players coined a "mutant".

If enough players within a guild and respawns also become a "mutant" it become permanent feature within their species and/or guild. However, some of these colors, limbs, traits, perks and abilities might determinantal effects on your player character making more excitable to disease debuffs or make them a less then desirable mate.

While it might be a cool idea of give your player character two heads or a fifth leg, however this severally lowers your survival chances within the game.

Evolution Points are generally awarded for the completion of missions, overcoming obstacles and opponents, and for successful role-playing.

## Purposes

Evolution points are used for many things, such as:

* Speccing into traits
* Speccing into abilities
* Speccing into resistances
* Creating new builds
* Creating new guilds
* Creating new factions
* Creating new clans

Evolution Points will never create useless builds, as every build is actually good in its right, even Tardigrades (which, 99.9% of the fanbase here in Outside is currently bashing).
Humphead Wrasse

Humphead Wrasse, also known Napoleonfish are heavyweight builds in the coral reef meta, so named because their notable feature, the bump on their forehead, resembles the hat, paid in real-life currency used by the legendary Human PvP veteran player Napoleon Bonaparte. They are the largest wrasse mains in the game.

## Overview

Reaching up to 191 kg in weight, it has a high Health stat. Its ability to make team combos with Groupers and Moray Eel players as well as tool use give it a great Intelligence stat. It also had great Power, allowing it to dispatch armored players rather easily.Its Mobility is rather low, considering its swimming-style, however, it uses less EXP.Its Defense stat is above-average, speccing into thick scales.Stealth for this build is rather low.

## Skillset

**Armor Crusher** **(Passive, Attack)**-Attacks ignore 80% of Armor.

**Poison Resistance (Passive, Support)**-Grants immunity to Poison Damage over time effects.

## Tier Placement

A-tier.This build takes a class normally known as Support players and turn it into one of the best anti-tank builds in the game, able to destroy builds with both high-tier armor. This build has the [Armor Breaker] ability in addition to being resistant to poison.

## Summary

### Pros:

* Can make team combos with Groupers and Moray Eels.
* Can use tools.
* Mostly high stats.
* Above-average Defense.
* Immune to most Poison-type attacks.
* Can crush armored builds and body them easily.

Irrawaddy Dolphin

The irrawaddy dolphin build is a euryhaline Whale build commonly thought of as a river dolphin build. It is found in coastal areas around South and Southeast Asia.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. Basically, it is to Whales what Bull Sharks are to Sharks. It can easily switch between freshwater and saltwater servers. It has decent Intelligence, thus allowing for complex team strategies. It is normally a slow swimmer, but when threatened, they can use the [Speed Burst] ability. Despite being obsolete to other dolphin builds they are still effective in their area as they don't have many predators.

Mangar

The mangar is one of the largest predatory Carp builds (The Giant Barb is bigger, but is a filter-feeder

## Tier Placement

A-tier. An apex predatorwhich still retains the [Barbels] ability. Also has decent Health and is also built to farm off easy loot. It also has high Mobility (The buils tested here is not a Mangar, but still related)

Drab Sole

Drab soles are surprisingly one of the few flatfish builds that can enter freshwater.They weight at least 1 kg, enough to avoid them from getting bodied by other lightweight predators, while at the same time, being unviable as a loot souce for Human mains.

## Tier Placement

Mid C-tier. This build is totally unviable as loot so they became support classes instead. They still have the high Stealth typical of flatfish mains.Unlike hogchokers, this build still maintains some bulk, reaching 1 kg in weight. This build can also access freshwater servers as well as marine ones due to their [Adaptive Gills].

Four-Eyed Fish

Four-Eyed Fish is the largest fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes. It also has one of the weirdest eyes in the game. Having the pupil split allowing it to view above the surface, and below without the water refraction in the way.

## Overview

This build being the biggest of its group has a small health stat compared to the rest of the fresh water builds. But it makes up for it with great mobility, intelligence, and the ability to give birth to live young. These builds take an exclusive niche in its server, where it camps the water's surface as it eats insect builds that fall into the water or in jumping range, smaller aquatic builds, or algae. These fish mainly group up. But some players prefer solo, as they get a higher chance of getting food. For most builds camping the surface is very dangerous, as you can be attacked by larger aquatic builds from below, and flying builds from above, but unlike them Four-Eyed Fish has special eyes that allows them to see both underwater and above. So as long as they see an attack coming or a possible threat, they will easily evade and dodge attacks. Detecting predators isn't that hard as they live in groups.

## Abilities and Skills

### Split-Eyed

This build is the only build in the game to have eyes that split apart to form two pupils, one that sees above the water, the bottom part looks underwater. The eyes sit on the top of the build.

### Greater Perception

This build spent points into greater perception, this allows it to easily see other builds. This helps this build to detect any threats and exp sources.

### Brackish

This fish can populate a mixture of salt and fresh water. But cannot handle just pure salt water or vice versa.

### Air Resistance

This ability increases the amount of time out of water for an aquatic build. This allows this build to survive low tides of the server it populate.

### Amphibious

This build can move around on land and can swim, this allows them to search rocks for insects and hidden sources of exp. But these fish can not breath air so they usually stay in wet areas.

### Live Bearing

This build spent points into live bearing. In which this build instead of laying eggs, holds them in a small pouch. When the fish hatches, they are released having grown much larger then newly born fry.

## Tier Placement

This build is one of the few good live bearing builds. With high speed and amazing perception. This build can evade attacks from a lot of builds. Because of this Four-Eyed Fish have no major predator. They are sometimes attacked by pelicans and other birds. This build overall gets into low B tier. This build really doesn't do much besides eating small builds. If it specked into teeth and larger size it would be top tier.
Homo Erectus

"**Homo Erectus**" is an banned Homo build that existed about 2 million years to at least 250,000 years ago. Many players will point to this as one of the species where the Homo genus starts to gain its "broken" status.

## Overview

Homo Erectus has min-maxed stats with nearly unmatched intelligence with a slight physiological advantage over modern day humans due to them being more active. Stone tools were already being made by the time Homo Erectus arose and there are evidence for the earliest discovery of fire happening in up to 2 million years ago. It is widely approved by data miners and scholars that the first instance of control use dates back to roughly 1 million years ago.

Their stealth and defense lacks as they already evolved to have no fur for sweating. This boosts their stamina and mobility stats.

## Taxonomy and evolution

It is the overall first species in the genus Homo. Being ancestral to all known Homo species, including humans. Its believed to have originated in Africa and likely evolved from Australopithecus Africanus.

## Subspecies

Homo Erectus Erectus (Java Man)

Homo Erectus Ergaster

Homo Erectus Pekinensis (Peking Man)

Homo Erectus Lantianensis (Lantian Man)

Homo Erectus Nankinensis (Nanjing Man)

Homo Erectus Soloensis (Solo Man)

Homo Erectus Yuanmouenensis (Yoanmou Man)

## Fossil Record

Homo Erectus was first discovered in 1891 by a Dutch surgeon, Eugène Dubois in Indonesia. He would name it 'Pithecantropus' and later, the genus would be renamed into Homo.

Lobster

lobster

The **Lobster** is a more offensive take on the crustacean build, having claws that can deal devastating damage in a single pinch or swing. In raw power and for its size, the lobster is the strongest crustacean build. While the lobster ranked about the same as the Crab and Copepod on the reef tier list, it would say to say the lobster would win most frequently in a duel with the other crustaceans.

## Abilities and Moves

### Active

● **Shedding-** After some time you need to shed (Abandon old Exoskeleton and make new) to grow bigger. for some time after shedding you will have minor defense weakness, but after that you will have pernament HP boost. during shedding some species change color.

● **Antenae Sensing-** Shows what is the surrounding element made of. Mainly used when in murky water.

● **Abdomen curl-** By curling and uncurling your abdomen you gain incredible speed.

### Passive

● **Cannibalism-** If nessecary can Kill and Eat another player from the same build.

● **Compound Eyes-** 360° vision made of many small Ommatidia . can hide eyes if in murky water.

● **Hemolymph-** Your defense is scaled with atmospheric oxygen Level.

● **Sea Floor Coloration-** Increased Stealth. Sometimes lobsters have other colors but they can be explained by "Natural" mutations or Players that removed this ability on purpouse and spent evolution points for other color.

● **Telomerase-** Enzyme that repairs your DNA. Encreases your Playtrough time.
Groundhog

The groundhog, or woodchuck, is a rodent build that lives in the Eastern and Midwest North America server. It is also a meme symbol of Groundhog Day, where a groundhog player tries to predict the end of the Winter world event, and the beginning of the Spring world event, according to Human mains. If a groundhog player sees its shadow, Winter will last for the next 6 weeks. If it doesn't, the Spring world event is coming early.

## Tier Placement

Groundhogs are just Prairie Dogs that sacrificed Mobility for Health. They are a burrowing build. Therefore, they spend most of their gameplay underground. They don't tend to focus on PvP, but on survival, since groundhog mains are a source of XP for Raptors, Dogs, Cats, and Humans. Despite being called ground squirrels, they can get to the safety of being in the trees, or Arboreal Zone, where their gankers can't reach them. The only exceptions are Raptors, who make their home there. They can also retreat to their burrows, where almost nothing can hurt them (with the exception of snakes, who are able to enter burrows, but they don't usually gank groundhogs). The coyote and badger team combo is useless against them because they are too big for badgers and too alert for coyotes. They also troll Human mains by ruining homes and yards. They can have crops as a source of EXP. Groundhog players also have the Hibernation ability. This allows them the skip the devasting Winter world event (in certain servers, as some servers have season world event weather effects reversed) and wait until Spring comes and the difficulty drops back to normal. The groundhog seems OP, but it has an almost unwinnable match up against Raptors and other Intelligence builds, so it is A tier at best.
Kea

## Overview

The Kea is a Parrot build that specked into omnivory and region-locked themselves to the New-Zealand server. It is also known for not going for colors that stand out making its Syrinx Shriek less effective.

## Abilities

### Sharp Beak

Keas have very sharp beaks, they used this to eat the fat stores of Moas, but once those were banned they turned to the next best thing, Sheep. Unfortunately, sheep don't have the HP to withstand these attacks, not helped by their terrible intelligence. Like most parrots, Keas can use their Bite attack to do damage. Keas also eat insects, Rabbits, human scraps, and Shearwater chicks.

### Aggressiveness

Considering that Keas often scare away mid-sized builds like Dogs and even large ones like Horses, it is no doubt that something must be going on. This is helpful because it allows it to steal loot.

### Curiosity

However, they aren't as aggressive to Humans. Rather, they funnily socialize with them. This has its pros and cons. They will either get loot, or will be eliminated.

## Tier Placement

On island servers, S tier. Despite having dull colors on the outside, the underside of their wings have bright colors that make their Syrinx shriek even more effective since it surprises the attacker. Use group strategies to chase away birds of prey.

Mainland servers, D tier (on average). The Kea has S tier base stats and an excellent flexible playstyle by any standard, but outside New Zealand, it has two critical flaws relating to its island server origins that drag it down. First, while their aggressiveness and coloration can allow Kea to intimidate larger builds, Kea are aggressive to a fault. In environments with high tier predators, this is a high risk low reward strategy. Second, Kea are extremely vulnerable to any small predators at the start of their playthrough. Kea nest at ground level under tree roots, and can't fly until they're about four months old.

For these reasons, Kea have started to have viability problems, even in New Zealand, since recent patches have brought stoats to the island.
Giganotosaurus

I eat Top-tiers everyday

Giganotosaurus (Echo fighter: Mapusaurus) was a South American therapod build. It was the apex of its server, bringing down even some sauropods, the top-tiers of their time.

## Overview

Gigantosaurus used a special way to hunt sauropod builds. First, it would close the distance. Then, it would use its powerful bites and serrated teeth to bring the sauropod down. It didn't help that it had the HP to withstand a tail attack, and the mobility to dodge a stomp.

## Ablities and Skills

### Serrated Teeth

Much like a close relative, the Carcharodontosaurus build, Giganotosaurus had serrated teeth. It used these teeth to rip chunks out of herbivore builds with its powerful bite. They inflicted the {Heavy Bleed} debuff, which bled out and elimianted prey if they escaped the bite.

### Ambush

Gigantosaurus lived in swampy forests, where ambush was key to getting loot. This was to help with the Gigantosaurus' abysmal stealth.

## Tier Placement

The Giganotosaurus build was an S tier. It could grief sauropods quite easily. It also didn't have to worry about competetion, since the other therapods in its server were much smaller than it. However, compared to other dinosaurs, it was only A tier. It invested so much in power that it stealth was greatly reduced. When the devs decided to dry up the swamps where it played, Giganotosaurus lost its element of suprise. New predators like the Mapusaurus build outcompeted it with ther pack-hunting skills. Thus, Giganotosaurus was banned.
Lynx

## Lynx's stats

The Lynx has high medium stats across the board with the exception of Health, and they do possess one relatively useful abilities, Snow Paw and Lynx Ears which allows them to move silently through the snow and can dectect any build with the lowest quiestest sound .They're best at taking out small prey using Stealth, but there are better choices for this playstyle such as the Owl or the Viper. While they don't get griefed nearly as badly as Cheetahs,but they do have to watch out for Cougars,and Wolves, but can escape into the arctic which it has almost no bad matchups

## Best Uses

To be very honest, there is really practical reason to play as a Lynx. But, if you want to play as a lynx here are some tips. Focus on taking out D Tier builds and scavenge what you can. Rodents, songbirds, and especially Hares can be builds that you can eliminate easily with Snow Paw and Lynx Ear. In all, expect larger kills to be stolen or scare scavengers ,territory not to be taken and above all Cougars don't fight because we all know how that ends. They can defeat lone wolfs and this menas they are B tier
Great Auk

The great auk (*Pinguinius/ Alca impennis*), also known as the "garefowl" in Icelandic, was a banned flightless Bird build native to the northern hemisphere. Its closest relative was the Razorbill, which still specs into flying. It was not related to actual Penguin builds, although they derived their name from this build.

## Overview

The main selling point of this build was how it lost its [Flight] abilities in exchange for better aquatic Mobility. However, this made its land Mobility terrible. Its Power was only so-so, as it ate only small fish and crustacean players. It weighs 5 kg which, while weighing as much as a Goose, is still quite low. As what usually happens with insular builds, it had very low Intelligence. Its Stealth and Defense were typical for a Bird.

## Moveset

**Cold Resistance (Passive, Support)**- Reduces damage taken against cold debuffs.

**Penguin Wings (Passive, Mobility)**- Locks out all flight-related options, but increases aquatic Mobility.

## Tier Placement

Similar to the Southern Hemisphere's Penguin builds, this build gave up its flight capabilities in order to pursuit a life of being an underwater predator of small players. Their high aquatic Mobility made them capable hunters, also able to avoid most of their predators. However, their land Mobility was terrible, a trait exploited by Eagles, Polar Bears and Humans. And its not like they could tank their damage either, thus before Human settlement, Great Auks were only considered to be D tier. When the aforementioned Humans and their support arrived, their island tameness meant that they could not deal with them, and the last of their playerbase was decimated by a few Fishermen support classes strangling the remaining veterans and destroying their last few respawn points under their foot.

Fowl Play

FEAR THE GOOSE!!!!!

**Fowl Play** is one of the unique abilities of the Goose, the other being Fowl Balls.

## Effect

Fowl Play causes the goose's Intimidation attempts to scale with the opponent's size, which causes larger builds to lose more Resolve than smaller builds which can create some hilarious scenes. This can result in giant or dangerous builds that can oneshot a goose fleeing.
Laccognathus

Laccognathus is a banned build from The Devonian Expansion which was playable along with the fishapod main, Tiktaalik. It was considered to be a porolepiform build, closely related to playable Lungfish builds.

## Overview

This build had moderate Health, growing up to 6 feet long. It specced into powerful jaws, giving it a high Power stat. Its ambush tactics give it a decent Stealth stat. However, as a porolepiform, it is rather sluggish. Lastly, its thick scales would have gave it mediocre Defense.

## Moveset

**Adaptive Gills (Passive, Support)**- No penalty for switching between freshwater and saltwater servers.

**Modified Swim Bladder (Passive, Utility)**- Allows you to get oxygen spawns from the air.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. In addition to these powerful stats and abilities, this build also had decent senses. It can easily be a Psammolepis main and Tiktaalik main's worst enemy.

Krill

One in a Krillion

Krill are microscopic crustaceans that live in the ocean that moves in swarms.

## Overview

Krill are a tiny aquatic arthropod build that wander the Arctic ocean sections of the ocean maps. They also wander into open oceans, deep parts of the ocean and most commonly reefs. They are a harmless build that feed on phytoplankton players (tiny mindless plants floating in the ocean and other bodies of water). They have generally low base stats, and gameplay as them is risky when venturing into the Arctic or open ocean maps of the aquatic biomes. Krill spawn very quickly and easily, so their build should be kept up a decent pace unless the devs nerf, buff or ban them.
Mako Shark

The mako shark is a shark build in A tier.

The mako shark has the highest speed out of any other shark. Because of this Mako shark players decided to go for warm blood for faster stamina regeneration. Its intelligence might be simple but because of its speed they can be able to break into A tier whats holding them back is that their health and attack is low and is to weak to fight agiants other sharks and other speed demons like sail fish and marlin can grief them.

## Traits

### Warm Blooded

Faster Stamina Regenration, no cover for heat vision, higher food cost
Ectasian

Overworld map with reconstruction of server distribution.

**Ectasian Period** (from Ancient Greek "extension") is the second period in the Mesoproterozoic Subupdate and lasted from 1400 Mya ago to 1200 Mya (million years ago). The start and end of this period aren't marked by major events.

## New Content

This period is interesting for the first evidence of sexual reproduction ability. The 1.2 billion years old Hunting Formation on Somerset Island, Canada, dates from the end of the Ectasian. It contains the microfossils of *Bangiomorpha pubescens* (type of red algae build), the first taxonomically resolved eukaryote fraction build. This was the first build that used sexual reproduction ability, which is an essential feature for complex multicellular builds. Complex multicellulari builds are different from "simple" multicellular builds, such as colonies of players living together. True multicellular players have cells that are specialized for different functions. This is, in fact, an essential feature of sexual reproduction ability as well, since the male and female gametes are specialized cells. players that reproduce sexually must solve the problem of generating an entire organism from just the germ cells.

Sexual reproduction and the ability of gametes to develop into an organism are the necessary step to true multicellularity. In fact, we tend to think of sexual reproduction and true multicellularity as occurring at the same time, and true multicellularity is often taken as a marker for sexual reproduction.

During this phase devs also continued adding new Platform covers.
