## Appearance

The Pandering Princess wears a baby pink garment, with golden sleeves around its hind legs, and red cuffs at its front paws. Its face is white and covered in red blemish around the cheeks, with red circles around the eyes and a wing flicked towards the centre of its face. Its major feature is its headwear, with a thick golden stem, black 'hair' fashioned in a wide bulbous manner, a red flower with yellow pollen and a white centre, and traditional frayed red hanging decorations, attached to the corners of the 'hair' with golden strands.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Great Wall 2 or greater.

## Trivia

* The Pandering Princess is a play on a princess in Chinese culture, with "Pandering" also serving as a pun on 'panda'. Pandering is defined as being gratified, usually in terms of physical objects or gifts.

	+ The Baby Pandering Princess also references the pampered princess theme, in its abilities relating to mating animals.
* The game drops a hint about how to get the Pandering Princess. Every now and then, the message "A pretty panda prefers privacy behind a particular tower" will appear, however, if the player has tamed the Pandering Princess, the hint will no longer appear.
	+ This hint employs alliteration of the letter 'p'.

## Notes

* The Pandering Princess was released in version 1.22.0 on the 28th of January 2019 along with Great Wall and the first five Great Wall species.

Mountains

**Mountains**, previously known as 'Mountain', is the third zone in the Sky Zoo and the fifth unlocked in Rodeo Stampede, and introduces the new challenges of cliffs and jagged walls. It can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship from Jungle 5 to Mountains 1. The overall colour scheme is mainly a greenish-greyish colour to make it look like a mountain, but turns a richer green and lighter grey between 1000 and 2000m and purplish after 2000m. It has rocky walls, making simply going near a wall a risky ploy, and features sections without walls on both sides at a time which the player can fall off, as well as extremely narrow sections. A few metres away from the edges which the player can fall off are tall rocks which eagles can be found perched upon.

For specifics on each part in Mountains, see the table below.

## Tips and Strategies

Upon release, Mountains was designed to be the most difficult map and a challenge to even the best players, hence, the animals in Mountains were specifically designed to be slightly nerfed, and overall difficult to use. There have been many strategies to get high scores, but what is recommended is to use a flying animal up until 2000m to avoid the majority of the narrow sections and the danger of walls. From there, it is recommended to use slow animals, in particular bears and goats when not angry. Llamas and moose can also be utilised as they do not reduce the player's lasso size when their habitats are upgraded. Occasionally, if seen, eagles can be ridden after 2000m to increase the player's distance by at least another 500m. Yaks, angry wolves and angry moose are not recommended for high distances as they are difficult to control due to uncontrollable bucking movement and speed respectively. However, yaks and moose can be useful in an area with many obstacles.

## Trivia

* The icon for Mountains is shaped somewhat like Europe.

## Notes

* Mountains was released in version 1.1.0 on the 26th of July 2016 along with all Mountains species.
* The name of the island Mountains was changed after version 1.3.1, on the 20th of October 2016. The original name was "Mountain".

It also has two maroon antennae, as well as five short, maroon legs on each side of its body. When angry it curls up into a cylindrical shape, resembling that of a medical pill. It has an embossed circle on both sides with a prominent split through the centre, to complete the "medical pill" look.

## Description

*Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, headaches and vertigo.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Garden 2 or greater.
* Pillbug tamed.
* Pillbug habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 400m in Garden.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is high but not guaranteed due to it being a tier 2 animal. It will appear often but not necessarily in every run, and never before 400m.

## Baby Medical Pillbug

* Jump from animals 5% faster
* Eating animals is 5% more effective

## Trivia

* The name "Medical Pillbug" is a portmanteau of the words "medical pill" and "pillbug".
	+ When the Medical Pillbug is angry and spinning, it looks like a white medical pill, as the name suggests.
	+ The Medical Pillbug's description references its medical theme, as well as the fact that a pillbug's behaviour when angry is to curl up into a ball and roll at a fast pace, with all "symptoms" listed being related to headaches and being dizzy from spinning.

## Notes

* The Medical Pillbug was released in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018 along with Garden and the first five Garden species.
Psychedelephant

The **Psychedelephant** is the fourth type of elephant that the player can obtain.

## Appearance

The Psychedelephant is distinctly coloured in a multi-coloured gradient pattern with colours going from orange to red to purple to blue to green to yellow. Its upper torso and back have many flowers almost painted on, similarly to those of hippies. It has a large golden peace sign above the trunk between the eyes. Large flowers with thick bright green stems, the right one being pink and the left being purplish blue, each with yellow pollen centres, replace its tusks. Lastly, the Psychedelephant has a gradient from orange to purple on it's tail and a dark grey tip.

## Description

*This elephant never let the man keep it down.*

## Requirements

* African Elephant tamed.
* Ride past 1000m in Savannah.

## Baby Psychedelephant

* Ridden animals are 3% slower
* Mating animals appear 6% more often

## Trivia

* The Psychedelephant's appearance is based on hippie culture, with the peace sign, rainbow colours and flowers.
	+ The hippie reference is related to the Psychedelephant in that hippies often took psychedelic drugs which caused hallucinations similar to the colours of the Psychedelephant.
	+ The description references how hippie culture is signified by independence and living by their own rules. Hippies wear bright colours and have a lifestyle that is different from normal society, which others can't "keep down".
	+ The Baby Psychedelephant's ability "Mating animals appear 6% more often" references another trait of hippies, a prominent sex life. It also reflects the 'love' part of 'peace and love'.
	+ The Psychedelephant is one of three animals that reference hippie culture, the others being the Hairodactyl and Hippiepotamus.
* The Psychedelephant was available in the soft launch of the game, under the name "Psychadeliphant". Its appearance was slightly different, with a dark grey back, grey on its trunk, and lacking the flowers that the current Psychedelephant has.
	+ The description was also slightly different, being "This elephant never let them man keep it down."

## Notes

* The Psychedelephant was released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all other original Savannah animals, Jungle and all original Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.
* The Psychedelephant had a spelling mistake in that it was spelt "Psychadelephant", with the 'e' instead of the 'a' being the correct spelling for 'psychedelic'.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.

Podiatrist

The **Podiatrist** is the fourth centipede in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their centipede habitat to level 5 or higher.

## Appearance

The Podiatrist is quite similar to the Centipede in terms of shape, however, apart from this, they share little in common. Its main theme colour for its body is pink, however it is wearing a white coat, with an embossed red cross on the back, over the first few sectors of its body. The legs are a lighter, duller pink than the rest of it body, and happen to be the same colours as its antennae, each of which possessing a red and white pill at the top. Its head is coloured purple, with a dark purple strip near its eyes, and one, being far thicker, at the top of the white vest. Attached to the thicker strip is an octagonal light lens, similar to that of a doctor. Its back legs can be seen to have been replaced with mock-band aids, coloured peach. Finally, a clipboard, with a red backing and white 'paper', with a silver clip, is held by the left side of its head.

## Description

*With so many legs it can be hard to foot this doctor's bill.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Garden 5 or greater.
* Centipede tamed.
* Centipede habitat upgraded to level 5 or higher.
* Ride past 1200m in Garden.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is low due to it being a tier 4 animal. It will appear randomly but not often, and never before 1200m.

## Baby Podiatrist

* Animals handle ice 20% better
* *Energy drains 1% slower in the Garden (passive)*

## Trivia

* The Podiatrist references, as obvious, a podiatrist, which is someone who is a foot and ankle medical specialist (doctor).
	+ This is a play, like many other centipedes, on a centipede's many legs.
	+ The description contains a pun on a foot in two separate sayings:
		- The saying "hard to foot", meaning hard to take in.
		- The saying "foot the bill", meaning to pay the bill. This references how having so many feet means that a podiatrist would be expensive if a centipede needed one.
	+ The Baby Podiatrist's ability "Animals handle ice 20% better" may refer to the fact that ice packs are usually placed on bruises and places of injury, which is what a podiatrist would probably use to treat a patient.

## Notes

* The Podiatrist was released in version 1.16.0 on the 8th of May 2018 on Android and on the 10th of May 2018 on iOS, along with beetles, all other centipedes and butterflies.
	+ Like all beetles, other centipedes and butterflies, the Podiatrist was bugged on iOS and would not appear up until the release of version 1.16.1 on the 14th of May 2018.
Olympus

**Olympus** is the seventh zone released in the game, in version 1.10.0 on the 18th of August 2017. It is the second Space Zoo zone, requiring missions to upgrade the ship and habitats, and  to play. It is unlocked when the player reaches Mountains 3 in the Sky Zoo, or can be unlocked prior to this via purchase in the Shop. Its new features include lightning being zapped from the sky with a pre-warning, with the player being burned upon indirect impact, or instantly killed upon direct contact with lightning, vases to collect and classic Greek structures around the map. Other features include walls which are jagged in appearance, but are programmed so that the player can run along them without dying, and small pools of water around similar to Outback.

For specifics on each part in Olympus, see the table below.

## Tips and Strategies

Olympus animals are all useful in some way, despite lacking habitat upgrades which improve the animals' physics compared to Sky Zoo animals. Before 2000m, it is recommended to use a phoenix as they move fast and grant the player a chance to survive if it hits an obstacle or an animal. After 2000m, where there are many groups of lightning strikes, it is best to jump from hind to hind, particularly after the hind habitat has been upgraded to level 3 as the player's lasso size will not be reduced and it is easier to run through water pools if hit indirectly by lightning. Dragons are an extremely good choice, as they can be ridden for a good amount of time when vaulting, and are indestructible even when they aren't vaulting. However, dragons can miss water pools when vaulting, which, at times, can ruin your run.

## Trivia

## Notes

* Olympus was released on the 18th of August 2017 in version 1.10.0 along with the first five Olympus species.

## Appearance

The Puzzle Whale's appearance is similar to the Tyrannosaurus Bricks, both having the same textured pieces, but has a white lower jaw.

## Description

*Its body is made out of puzzle pieces. We have a hard time calculating how many pieces there are.*

## Requirements

* Ocean Zoo unlocked.
* Blue Whale tamed.
* Ride past 1500m in Ocean.

## Trivia

* Upon release, the description was missing a period.

Peglegasus

The **Peglegasus** is the fifth pegasus that can be found in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their pegasus habitat to level 2 or higher.

## Appearance

The Peglegasus' upper half is coated in light brown, and its lower half is coated in a rich dark wood colour.

## Baby Peglegasus

* Animals are 10% faster in water
* Bucks are 8% smaller

## Trivia

* The Peglegasus is a play on peglegs, wooden prosthetics used to replace a missing leg, commonly associated with pirates or sailors.
	+ The description reflects the theme of piracy, referencing the figurative definition of the phrase "the grass is greener on the other side", which is relevant as pirates always looted others to get more and better gold and treasure, and mentioning sacrifice, which in this case is physical.
	+ The Baby Peglegasus' abilities "crates give 10% more coins" and "animals are 10% faster in water" both reference the pirate theme, referencing looting and how pirates travelled in ships on the water.
* The Peglegasus is one of seven animals that look like and play off pirates, the other six being the Sea Lion, One-eyed Wolfbeard, Anne Bunny, Captain Bananarrrrr, Blackfin, and the Caliblow Jack.

## Notes

## Baby Minotaur Matador

* Ridden animals are 5% slower
* Taming animals is 10% quicker

## Trivia

* The Minotaur Matador plays on a matador, a bull fighter.
	+ The desciption reflects this, playing on how the minotaur is also half bull, meaning that a Minotaur Matador would fight itself while also trying to escape to survive, hence feeling "conflicted".
		- This is similar to the BuffaloBQ's description.

## Notes

* The Minotaur Matador was released on the 18th of August 2017 in version 1.10.0 along with Olympus and the first five Olympus species.
