The **Desert Chipmunk** is a tier 2 Desert animal in Mope.io, and equivalent to the Rabbit, Pigeon, Trout, and Arctic Hare.

## Technical

* Upgrades from the Mouse, Desert Rat, Shrimp or Chipmunk at 150 XP.
* Upgrades to the Meerkat, Mole, Chicken, Penguin or Crab at 400 XP.
* The Desert Chipmunk can consume berries, carrots, honeycomb, plankton, dates, and small meat. Prey of the Desert Chipmunk includes all tier 1 animals (Desert Rat tier).
* Predators of the Desert Chipmunk includes all animals within the range of tier 3 to tier 7 (Meerkat to Warthog).
* The Passive Ability of the Desert Chipmunk is to climb on trees.
* The Special Ability of the Desert Chipmunk is to Spit Food; boosting it forward and producing either combination of the following:
	+ 1 Date.
	+ 2 Dates.
	+ 3 Dates.
	+ 1 Date and 1 water pod.
	+ 2 water pods.
	+ 1 water pod.
	+ Nothing at all.
		- If an animal comes into contact with the food that the Desert Chipmunk has spit, it will be momentarily stunned, and will have consumed the food even if it is too high a tier to normally eat it.

## Appearance

### Chipmunk

It has a light-brown body with 3 white stripes on its back. It also has 2 stripes by its nose and 2 round ears. Of course it has an tail on the back. When its using its ability, the eyes go in derp mode and its cheeks will puff up.

### Gold Trim Chipmunk

The Gold Trim Desert Chipmunk is a Chipmunk that additionally has golden stripes.

### Velvet Chipmunk

The Velvet Chipmunk is red with white stripes and claws.

### Old/Legacy

The old Desert Chipmunk has much larger eyes and darker larger ears. It has no visible head and no fluff on its tail. The stripes are skinnier.

## Strategy

* The most fulfilling food source is dates; they are most commonly located at the edge of hills in the Desert. However, they are also scattered all around the Desert.
* An alternative is to stray outside of the Desert, and into the Land biome. Spit water into mushrooms by pressing `S` 4 times, to produce berries. However, try to stay away from water as you will be frozen by it.
* Healing Stones are also a useful resource that is worth investing time into (note that they also spawn in the desert).
* Chasing after prey is pointless at this stage, as it would be quicker just to farm up to tier 3.
* If chased by a predator, the 'Spit Food' ability should be used to speed ahead and stun them. The food from the ability stuns any animal that is impacted by it.
	+ Even if not being chased by a predator, the ability should still be used simply for eating dates that could potentially be spat out.
	+ Another option is to climb a tree, as Desert Chipmunks are able to do so. Simply wait there until the predator leaves, as most Desert predators around this animal's end of the food chain cannot climb trees.
