Experience

All Pets use experience in order to level up. When an animal is first purchased, it starts with 0 experience. It will require 2 experience points for Level 2, 3 for Level 3, totaling to 5 experience points.

Experience can be received by merging copies of a Pet or by outside methods such as feeding a pet a Chocolate or using a Sleeping Pill into a Blobfish.

Merging one copy of a Pet with another gives the first Pet 1 experience point, as well as a +1/+1 stat boost. Merging a Pet that has higher stats with a Pet that has lower stats will result in the higher stats being chosen before applying the +1/+1 boost. For example, merging a Pet from the shop with another will give the Pet 1 experience. When Pets are merged, their experience is also combined. For example, merging two Level 2 Pets will produce a Level 3 Pet, merging a Level 1+1 5/5 with a Level 2 3/3 will result in a Level 2+2 6/6 Pet.

Please note that the aforementioned methods do not count as buying a pet and therefore will not trigger any buy abilities.

There are additional methods to obtain experience outside of merging.

* Chocolate
* Hatching Chick
* Caterpillar
* Pug
* Blobfish
* Crow (indirectly)
* Alpaca
* White Tiger
Pig

The **Pig** is a  Tier 1 Pet, available in the **Turtle Pack**. When sold it will grant the player extra  Gold. Levelling up the Pig increases the amount of gold granted upon being sold.

Selling a level 1 pig will reward you with 1 gold for the pet, and 1 extra from the ability, but a level 2 pet will sell for 4 gold because it is level 2, but 2 extra from the ability, and in the same way, selling a level 3 pet will give you 6 gold in total.

## Strategy

The Pig is a high-risk, high-reward pet. On one hand, it can take out dangerous 4-health opponents (most commonly being a  Cockroach in the earlier rounds). On the other hand, it loses badly to  Mosquito and  Cricket due to its low health.

Of course, the Pig is not the only such pet, and is mostly outclassed by its peers. The  Chinchilla sells for the same amount of gold as pig for every level, but the chinchilla can be sold once or twice, making it better for buy/sell triggers. The  Ant is arguably better, not only increasing trading power but having a better long-term ability. The  Bluebird's permanent buff can create 4-attack pets without poor HP, and is quite useful in the long term. The  Beaver is also comparable in that it can take out almost any Tier 1 pet with base stats but won't be countered by Mosquitos or Crickets.

If you are going to buy and not sell a Pig in early rounds, having it positioned at the front of your team is generally the best play because most players have their best (and therefore highest health) pet at the front, allowing the Pig to get the most use out of it's high attack.

Overall, the Pig is usable. Buying a Pig isn't a bad idea if you have nothing else and sets you up for future rounds when you sell it.

## Version History

### 10th May 2022

* Changed the Pig's base stats to 4/1 from 3/1.

## Trivia

* The scientific name for pig is "Sus scrofa domesticus".

Beluga Sturgeon

The **Beluga Sturgeon** is a  Tier 2 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack**. When the Beluga Sturgeon faints, it summons a 2/3 level 1  Dolphin with  Rice at the very back of the team. Leveling up the Beluga Sturgeon increases the amount of Dolphins summoned.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* The Beluga Sturgeon is added into the game as part of the reworked **Puppy Pack**.
Melon

The **Melon** is a  Tier 6 Food, available in the **Turtle Pack** and the **Puppy Pack**. Feeding a Pet a Melon gives that pet the Melon perk. The first time a pet with Melon perk takes damage, the damage is reduced by 20, to a minimum of 0.

## Strategy

Melon is a very strong and efficient defensive perk that's used to keep your pets alive longer. If you're not looking for synergy perks like  Mushroom, it's always good to give your pets Melon.

It shouldn't be treated as simply 20 extra health, since the longer a pet survives, the higher is its damage output and the more chances it have to trigger its ability. A 35/31 pet with Melon perk can go toe-to-toe against a max stat enemy at 50/50 with common defensive food perks. Melon can also protect your pets against high damaging snipers like  Leopard, or against instant knockouts by the  Scorpion.

On the other hand, it also shouldn't be treated as a stronger version of  Lemon or even  Garlic, they all have their unique strengths and weaknesses. Melon only works once and can be easily countered by "spammy" sniper or summon builds, while Lemon and Garlic will work much better against these teams. Reducing the damage to 0 might not always be ideal, since you can lose out on Hurt triggers from pets like  Peacock or  Camel.

## Version History

### 17/08/2021

* Melon can now block opponents peanuts if it has less than 20 attack

## Trivia

The Melon was once called the shield and functioned like the melon we have today.

Raccoon

The **Raccoon** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in **Puppy pack** but still available for free in **Custom Packs**. When the Raccoon attacks, it steals held food items of the opposing pet, with a limited number of triggers per battle. Levelling up the Raccoon increases the number of times it can use its ability per battle.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Raccoon's ability to "**Before attack**: Steal food perk from target. Works 1/2/3 time(s) per battle." from: "**Before attack**: Steal food perk from the nearest enemy ahead. Works 1/2/3 time(s) per battle."
* Changed the Raccoon's tier to  Tier 3 from  Tier 2.

Musk Ox

The **Musk Ox** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Golden Pack**. When the nearest Friend ahead faints, it gains a buff to its stats. Levelling up the Musk Ox increases the amount of stats it gains per friend fainted.

## Strategy

There aren't many hard mode strategies in animal descriptions, but this is one of the exceptions. Pairing Musk Ox with a Paper Shredder effect on Hard mode effect could potentially allow for a 50/50 Musk Ox in excruiciatingly early turns. Place a pet in front of the Musk Ox, have it faint from the Hard mode ability, and watch the stats roll in. Even better if you use it behind pets with summon abilities like the  Slug, since it will give the Musk Ox 3 triggers for stats.

## Version History

### 9th January 2023

* The Musk Ox is added into the game as part of the Golden Pack.

## Gallery

Mouse

The **Mouse** is a  Tier 1 Pet, available in the **Turtle Pack** and the **Star Pack**. When sold, the Mouse will stock the food shop with a free  Apple. Leveling up the Mouse will increase the stats that the free Apple gives.

## Strategy

The Mouse fits into two categories: Food Pets and Buy-sell Pets. It synergizes most effectively with the  Jerboa which will buff all other friends time every time it eats an  Apple. The Mouse’s ability provides free Apples, so it makes an excellent combo that can contribute towards overcoming some of the Jerboa's weaknesses.

The Mouse can also be used in much the same way as a  Cow for Pets that have abilities that trigger upon eating a food, like the  Seal or the  Rabbit.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Mouse's base stats to 1/2 from 2/1
* Changed the Mouse's ability to "**Sell**: Stock one free Apple/Better Apple/Best Apple." from: "**Sell**: Replace food shop with 1/2/3 free Apple(s) that gives +1/+1.
* Added to the **Turtle Pack**.

## Gallery

Mole

The **Mole** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack** but still available for free in **Custom Packs**. When the Mole faints, if there are at least 3 friendly food perks on the team, it will remove the 3 nearest friendly food perks and summon a new Mole with high stats and at the same level as the fainted Mole. Leveling up the Mole increases the amount of stats the summoned Mole has.

## Strategy

Mole is one of the strongest summoner that can dominate early game simply due to the summoned Mole's high stats. Although the price it must pay is food perks, which can make or break the team. It pairs well with early perk pets such as  Beetle and especially  Beluga Sturgeon, which always puts useless perks at the back of the team for Mole to feed.  Sleeping Pill can be used to essentially boosting the Mole's stats at the cost of 1 gold.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Mole's ability to "**Faint**: Remove the three nearest friendly perks to summon one 8/8, 16/16, 24/24 Mole." from: "**Buy**: Give adjacent friends +1/+1, +2/+2, +3/+3."
* Changed the Mole's tier to  Tier 3 from  Tier 4.
* Added to the **Puppy Pack**.
Gazelle

## Ability

### Level 1

**Start of turn**: Gain +1  attack and +1  health until end of battle for each  Gold over 10.

### Level 2

**Start of turn**: Gain +2  attack and +2  health until end of battle for each  Gold over 10.

### Level 3

**Start of turn**: Gain +3  attack and +3  health until end of battle for each  Gold over 10.

The **Gazelle** is a  Tier 2 Pet, available in the **Golden pack**. At the start of your turn it gains temporary stats equal to the amount of extra gold you have. Leveling up the Gazelle will increase the amount of temporary stats it gains per extra gold.

## Strategy

Although the stats are temporary, due to the high amount of gold generators in Golden pack, Gazelle can work as a pseudo-self scaler. It pairs well with  Magpie,  Weasel,  Manta Ray and so on. One big enabler is  Avocado, which can maintain a high amount of gold at the start of turn. A high leveled Gazelle with maxed out gold (30) can stay permanently at 50/50, as long as you can find enough Avocados.

However since Gazelle relies heavily on having excess gold, if you ever get unlucky with the Avocado rate, it can completely lose all of its momentum. Avocados become harder to find the longer the game goes, and due to their snowbally nature, they're also harder to find the less gold you have, which will result in you having even less gold in the future. Once the Avocado economy crumples, it's extremely hard to come back from.

It's not recommended to dump all of your gold onto Gazelle's ability. By late game, there are plenty of more reliable sources for stats, such as  Bird of Paradise. If you're bringing Gazelle until the end of the game, its ability should only be treated as an added bonus, and not your main scaling.

## Version History

### 9th January 2023

* The Gazelle is added into the game as part of the Golden Pack.
Puppy

The **Puppy** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack**. When bought the player will be given an option between two Toys:  Oven Mitts and  Toilet Paper. Oven Mitts will stock a  Lasagna in the shop when it breaks. Toilet Paper will make the first enemy  Weak at the start of battle. Levelling up the Puppy increases the level of the Toys that the player can choose between.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Puppy's base stats to 3/3 from 1/2.
* Changed the Puppy's ability to "**Buy**: Choose one level 1/2/3 toy from tier 3." from "**End turn**: If you have 2 gold, gain +2/+1, +4/+2, +6/+3."

### 7th September 2022

* Changed the Puppy's ability to "**End turn**: If you have 2 or more gold, gain +2/+1." from "End turn: If you have 2 or more gold, gain +2/+2."
* Changed the Puppy's base stats to 1/2.

### 8th December 2021

* Changed the Puppy's ability to " "**End turn**: If you have 3 or more gold, gain +2/+2." from: "**End turn**: If you have 2 or more gold, gain +2/+2."

### 4th August 2021

Roll Chances

The following table will depict the chances of seeing Pets appear in the shop. Every pet has the same chance of appearing per shop space.

**Single Space Chance** indicates the chance that a pet will appear in any *SINGLE* space of your shop for the given tier.

**Entire Shop Chance** indicates the chance that a pet will appear in *AT LEAST ONE* space of your shop for the given tier.

**Note: Each chance stands for a single Pet, not the entire Tier.**

This example will use the probabilities of Turtle Pack. The probabilities of other packs change slightly given that each pack has a different number of pets per tier.
Bird of Paradise

The **Bird of Paradise** is a Tier 6 Pet that is found in the **Golden Pack**. Every turn after you spend 7  Gold, the Bird of Paradise buffs three random friends in your team based on its level.

## Version History

### 26th January 2023

* The Bird of Paradise's ability is changed to "Spend 7 gold: give three random friends +1/2/3 attack and +1/2/3 health." from "Spend 8 gold: Give all friends +1/2/3 attack and +1/2/3 health."

### 9th January 2023

* The Bird of Paradise is added into the game as part of the Golden Pack.

## Trivia

* There are around 45 different species of Birds of Paradise, Super Auto Pets depicts the Greater Lophorina doing its mating dance.
Lemur

The **Lemur** is a  Tier 2 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack**. When a Lemur is bought the player will be given an option between two Toys:  Radio and  Garlic Press. Radio gives all friends a buff to their  health when it breaks. Garlic Press gives the right-most friend  Garlic at the start of battle. Levelling up the Lemur increases the level of the toys the player can choose between.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* The Lemur is added into the game as part of the reworked **Puppy Pack**.

## Gallery

German Shepherd

The **German Shepherd** is a  Tier 6 Pet that is found in the **Golden Pack**. When a friend is summoned, the German Shepherd gives it an attack buff equal to a percentage to its attack until the end of battle. Leveling up the German Shepherd increases the percentage of its own attack it gives to the summoned friends.

## Strategy

German Shepherd is a big  Horse from Turtle pack. At base stats, it gives each summoned friend 2 attack until the end of battle, comparable to  Turkey and  Vulture. However once scaled and leveled up, it's the scariest supporter in the game that can shred through 50/50s like nobody's business. A level 3 German Shepherd at 50 attack will give each summoned friend a whopping *37 attack*.

It's best paired with summoners like  Slug,  Wolf,  Beluga Whale. And while giving temporary stats is mostly useful during battle, it can still be devastating for the turn the summoner is bought.

Scaling the German Shepherd isn't as hard as it might seem. A front German Shepherd with  Onion will automatically move to the back-most position at the start of battle, allowing it to be scaled by  Manatee,  Monkey and still be in the correct position during battle.

It's not without weaknesses however. Even with the crazy amount of attack, since the summoned tokens are never given any health, they're very weak to snipers.  Royal Flycatcher,  Nurse Shark,  Cobra and  Grizzly Bear are all capable of disarming a German Shepherd team. It might be beneficial to pair the team with a high leveled  Sea Turtle to keep the tokens healthy.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the German Shepherd's ability to "**Friend summoned**: Give 25%/50%/75% of attack to it until end of battle." from "**Friend summoned**: Give 30%/60%/90% of attack to it."

### 26th January 2023

* Changed the German Shepherd's base stats to 10/4 from 8/5.
* Changed the German Shepherd's ability to "**Friend summoned**: Give 30%/60%/90% of attack to it." from "**Friend summoned**: Give it 20%/40%/60% of this pet's attack."

### 9th January 2023

* German Shepherd is added into the game as part of the **Golden Pack**.
Pelican

The **Pelican** is a Tier 4 Pet which can be found in Expansion Pack #2 and Custom packs, but not weekly packs.

## Strategy

Pelican is a usable unit, with several strengths and several flaws. The main draw of the pet is it's end-of-turn scaling, as providing a +2/+1 stat bonus at start of battle is generally negligible. Pelican's key strength as a scaler is it's low requirements. Most scalers in Super Auto Pets either require themselves or their targets to be in a specific position, such as Giraffe or Monkey, or for the team composition to meet certain criteria, such as Dragonfly or Poodle. Pelican, however, requires neither, making it less of a headache to fit into a team. Pelican is also the earliest form of reliable end-of-turn scaling in Star Pack that isn't either self-targeted or inconsistent, giving it a usable niche.

However, Pelican's requirement becomes an increasingly harsh burden to bear as the game progresses. Generally, a high-stat unit should be given some sort of defensive food, such as a Lemon or Pepper. If your strongest unit has a Strawberry in the later turns of the game, it'll be vulnerable to other high-stat units using more defensively- oriented equipment, and the buff Pelican gives at the end of turn is not high enough to replace a Pepper or Melon.

Pelican also has the major disadvantage of being completely outclassed, in every way, by the Shoebill, a pet that's available a mere 4 turns later. Shoebill is, at minimum, just as good as a Pelican, and can potentially distribute 4 times as many stats. This makes it hard to not immediately swap your Pelican out once a Shoebill is available.

## Version History

### 14/04/2022

* Changed Pelican to give +2/+2 to a random strawberry friend.

### 22/04/2022

* Changed Pelican to give +2/+1 to a random strawberry friend.
* Pelican now triggers on End of Turn & Start of turn

#### 29/04/2022

* Changed the base stats of the pelican to 2/3
Chipmunk

The **Chipmunk** is a  Tier 1 Pet, available in the **Golden Pack** and the **Puppy Pack**. When it is sold, it stock the food shop with a 1-gold copy of this pet's Food Perk. Levelling up the Chipmunk will increase the amount of 1-gold copies of this pets food perk that will be added to the shop food upon being sold.

## Strategy

The Chipmunk has power in that it is an investment into Food Perks that can then be acquired for cheap later when needed on pets that you have just pivoted into. Tier 1 foods are generally never worth duplicating due to their relative ease to find during early turns as well as their low impact. Chipmunk shines in that it can instantly duplicate a food once you've unlocked it in the shop.

Foods commonly used with Chipmunk are  Cherry and  Banana due to their strong synergies within Golden Packs summon archetype as well as most  Trumpet builds. In most packs it can sometimes be worth keeping a level 2 or 3 Chipmunk up until Tier 6 so that you only need to find 1 of the desired food perk to be able to give it to most of the team and don't need to waste gold rolling for more.

In

If the player is planning on using the Chipmunks ability it is essential to have it be at least level 2 before selling it for the Food Perks. A level 1 Chipmunk does very little in terms of gold efficiency.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Chipmunk's ability to "**Sell**: Stock one/two/three 1-gold copies of this pet's food perk." from: "**Sell**: Replace shop food with one/two/three free copies of this pet's food perk."
* Added to the **Puppy Pack**.

### 9th January 2023

* The Chipmunk is added into the game as part of the Golden Pack.
Crocodile

The **Crocodile** is a Tier 5 Pet, available in the **Turtle Pack** and **Puppy Pack**. At the start of each battle, the Crocodile deals 8  damage to the Pet at the back of the enemy team. Levelling up the Crocodile will increase the amount of times it deals damage to the backmost enemy pet.

## Version History

### 12/08/2021

* Crocodile's ability damage was increased to 8 and scales with each level accordingly.
* Attack and Health were changed to 8/4.

### 10/05/2022

Broccoli

The **Broccoli** is a Food item, only obtainable in pack #2. It gives a Pet -1  / +3 .

## Strategy

The **Broccoli** can be given to Pets which desire more health, you can feed the *Broccoli* to the Pet in front of a Leech or Yak for example.

## Version History

### 05/05/2022

* Effect changed from: "Give a pet -2  and +4 " to: "Give a pet -1  and +3 ".
Anteater

The **Anteater** is a  Tier 4 Pet, available in the **Star Pack**. Upon faint, the Anteater will summon 2  Ants. Levelling up the Anteater increases the level of the summoned Ants.

## Strategy

The Anteater is mainly used in summon builds, summoning two pets on faint while giving out decent buffs to the rest of the team. It's considered as an upgrade to the  Sheep due to its more versatile summons.

Anteater pairs best with  Vulture and  Spinosaurus, giving them three guaranteed faints for only one slot. The summoned Ants can also be buffed with  Turkey to do more damage and have a better chance against  Hippo and  Boar.

In terms of appropriate food perks a  Mushroom may be tempting but care should be taken to not waste any summons, as you'll need 4 spaces to fit them all.  Popcorns or  Banana may be easier to make use of if the player is purely looking for more summons but doesn't wish to drastically restructure their team as much.
Mandrill

The **Mandrill** is a  Tier 2 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack**. It breaks toys on faint.

## Strategy

It is good to use it with the  Mosasaurus to trigger it's ability during battle. You can also pill it to activate a toy ability in the shop early.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* The Mandrill is added into the game as part of the reworked **Puppy Pack**.

Mongoose

The **Mongoose** is a  Tier 6 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack**. When a Mongoose is bought the player will be given an option between three Toys:  Peanut Jar,  Air Palm Tree and  Television. Peanut Jar gives the right most friend  Peanuts at the start of battle. Air Palm Tree gives the right most friend  Coconut at the start of battle. Television gives a buff to all friends  attack and  health when it breaks. Levelling up the Mongoose increases the level of the toys the player can choose between.

### Level 2

**Start of battle**: Give adjacent friends +2  attack for every 3  gold spent this turn.

### Level 3

**Start of battle**: Give adjacent friends +3  attack for every 3  gold spent this turn.

The **Meerkat** is a Tier 3 Pet that is found in the **Golden Pack**. At the start of battle the Meerkat will give adjacent friends a buff to their attack. The amount of attack given is multiplied for every 3 gold spent that turn and the attack given before multiplication is increased by levelling up the Meerkat.

## Version History

### 26th January 2023

* The Meerkat's base stats is changed to "1/3" from "2/1".
* The Meerkat's ability is changed to "**Start of battle**: Give adjacent friends +1/+2/+3  attack for every 3 gold spent this turn." from **Spend 12 gold**: Give one random friend +1/+2, +2/+4, +4/+6."

Owl

The **Owl** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Puppy pack**. At the start of turn, the Owl summons a  Mouse. Leveling up the Owl will increase the summoned Mouse's level.

## Strategy

Owl is an extremely flexible pet that acts as a combination of  Swan and  Giraffe from Turtle pack. The Mouse it summons each turn can be sold for gold, the free  Apple can then be fed to any pet on the team, and this is simply a free sell trigger for pets like  Shrimp and  Buffalo.

Owl's only downside is requiring an empty space when going into battle. This is well worth the values that Owl brings, and it also allows for synergies with other pets that require empty space such as  Llama.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Owl's base stats to 1/2 from 5/3.
* Changed the Owl's ability "**Start of turn**: Summon one level 1/2/3 Mouse." from: "Sell: Give one random friend +2/+2, +4/+4, +6/+6."

Emu

The Emu is a  Tier 5 Animal, which pushes the nearest friend ahead to the front, whenever the front is empty, and gives it Health. Leveling the Emu will increase the health buff. Contrary to the wording of the Emus ability, the ability only works during the battle. This is the case for all **Empty Front Space** pets.

## Ability

### Level 1

**Empty Front Space**: Push nearest friend ahead to the front and give +4

### Level 2

**Empty Front Space**: Push nearest friend ahead to the front and give +8

### Level 3

**Empty Front Space**: Push nearest friend ahead to the front and give +12

## Strategy

The Emu can allow multiple pets to trigger the ability of a single **Friend ahead attacks** or **Friend ahead faints** pet. Position the Emu in the back and the **Friend ahead** pet behind the front pet. After the front pet faints, Emu will push the second-to-last pet to the front. Using this strategy, it is possible for three pets to trigger the **Friend ahead** ability.
Porcupine

The **Porcupine** is a  Tier 3 pet, available in **Custom packs** and sometimes available in the **Weekly Pack**. When hurt, it deals damage back to the pet that hurt it. Levelling up the Porcupine increases the amount of damage dealt back when hurt.

## Strategy

Reading the Porcupine's effect, you may expect it to be a good tank unit. However, you'll find that the Porcupine's ability rarely gets to take effect when attacking. The Porcupine's real strength is in being an anti-sniper unit, and particularly counters pets like  Blowfish or  octopus. In a weekly pack or custom meta where these units are popular, sticking a Porcupine on your team with a  Garlic or  Lemon can prove powerful; Whenever the Octopus or Blowfish (or any other one-time snipers, such as the  Lynx or  Leopard) shoots one of your units, it has a good chance of hitting the Porcupine and dealing significant damage back to itself. Against one-time snipers like the Lynx and  Hawk, which tend to not have a lot of health when at or near base stats, the Porcupine will likely knock them out with just its ability.

The Porcupine is also one of the few pets that is able to take advantage of the  Blueberry's effect of drawing random abilities towards the pet holding the perk. This will more often than not be a snipe ability that will deal damage to the Porcupine instead of other pets and then allow it to hit back where it might otherwise not. While good on paper the synergy forces the Porcupine to forgo protective food perks like Garlic and Lemon to have only a chance at value - use the Blueberry accordingly.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Porcupine's base stats to 2/6 from 3/6
* Changed the Porcupine's ability to "**Hurt**: Deal 3/6/9 damage directly back." from: "**Hurt**: Deal 6/12/18 damage back to the pet that hurt this."
* Changed the Porcupine's tier to  Tier 3 from  Tier 4.

Ox

Ox
--

The **Ox** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Turtle Pack**. When the friend ahead of the Ox faints, the Ox gains attack and  Melon Perk . If there is no friend ahead of the Ox when it spawns, its ability will not activate.

## Strategy

The ox can work with other faint synergizes like the  Shark,  Spinosaurus, and  Praying Mantis, units like  Mammothare also good with the Ox as they give stats to your team.

 Sleeping Pill can also be used to raise its stats by killing the pet in front of it outside battle.

## Version History

### 07/04/2022

* Changed base stats of Ox to 1/3 from 1/4.

### 14/04/2022

* Changed the ability of Ox to Gain Melon and +1/+2/+3 Attack instead of Gain Melon and +2/+4/+6 attack.

## Gallery

Mammoth

The **Mammoth** is a Tier 6 Pet in the **Turtle Pack** and **Puppy Pack**. When the Mammoth faints, it gives all of its friends an increased stat boost. Levelling up the Mammoth will increase the stat boost it provides to all friends.

## Strategy

The Mammoth is generally outclassed for its tier. Using a  Sleeping Pill on a Mammoth is pretty solid, but the  Tyrannosaurus's ability is 1  Gold more efficient. Or, if you have 3 Gold and an empty slot, you can buy it and then hopefully use the pill on it next turn. Overall though, the T-Rex and the  Dragon are a lot better for wide scaling over a long period of time.

Since the Mammoth has a faint trigger, it may be beneficial to put a  Mushroom on a Mammoth as it will buff the team twice and potentially knock out a  Melon,  Pepper or even a  Coconut from the first opposing unit. The faint trigger can also be well utilised by a  Shark and or  Spinosaurus +  Praying Mantis where even more stats can be gained for a lower cost because the Praying mantis removes the need to buy a Sleeping Pill.

## Version History

### 8th December 2021

* Attack and Health were changed to 3/10.

Grapes

The **Grapes** is a held Food item available in the **Star Pack**. It grants the player 1  Gold at the start of every turn. Multiple Grapes will work, meaning the player can technically receive up to 5 Gold at the start of the turn - 1 for each team member.

It has the same effect as a level 1 Swan.

## Strategy

The **Grapes** is best given to Pets that you would intend on keeping for a long time that do not need or benefit from other food items. Due to the scarcity of Pets that fit these conditions, Grapes aren't a super viable held food and most other options are usually better.

Most Pets that give themselves a held food in battle are good targets for Grapes as the effect will still be there at the start of turn despite being overridden in battle. Examples being the  Reindeer and  Ox which will give themselves melon during battle. Another use the Grapes have is for the  Panda, which won't benefit from many other held food items as it dies at the start of battle.
Eel

The **Eel** is a Tier 4 Pet, available in the **Star Pack**. At the start of battle the Eel will gain a percentage of bonus Health in addition to its original Health. Levelling up the Eel will increase the percentage of its original Health that it gains as bonus Health.

Note that the Eel, just like every other Pet, is limited to 50 total health (and attack).

## Strategy

The **Eel** is usually an underwhelming pet, but when obtained and levelled early, it can turn into a real threat for the opponents. At Level 2 it doubles its health, which makes it a powerhouse in the mid-game.

The most effective way to use **Eel** is to focus on increasing its Health until it starts reaching 50 Health at the start of battle. This is usually achieved by feeding it Peach and Broccoli and using a scaling pet like Tropical Fish. **Eel** should be paired with a pet like Moth and Dodo to increase its Attack and make it have good trades, occasionally even creating an early 50/50 pet. Fortune Cookie can be used instead of those pets, but it's unreliable and the extra damage is sometimes not enough.

Levelling up an **Eel** to level 3 usually isn't necessary unless trying to get the Achievement - it's not worth it because at level 2 you only need 25 Health to reach the maximum of 50 Health.

If your **Eel** has low base health, beware of it getting sniped by a Hawk or Lynx before it gains the bonus health. This can be prevented by giving it Pepper or Melon.

If it's turn 9 or later, it's not recommended to buy **Eel**. It's too late to scale/level it and there are a lot better options at tier 5.

## 24th October

* Changed the base stats of the Eel to 5/4 from 5/2.
Pretzel

### Ability

Give one pet +2  attack and +2  health. Double if all pets are Tier 4 or higher.

The **Pretzel** is a  Tier 6 Food, available in the **Golden Pack**. Feeding a Pet a Pear increases its stats by +2 attack and +2 health permanently. However, if all pets currently on the team are at least Tier 4, it will instead give +4 attack and +2 health permanently.

## Strategy

With Tier 3 or lower pets on the team the Pretzel is essentially a  Pear but without any of those pets it becomes even better than a  Chicken Leg. This makes it a very efficient stat boost to any desired pet - especially when used with  Cat,  Fox,  Seal or  Worm.

Beluga Whale

## Ability

### Level 1

**Eats food**: Swallow the left-most shop pet and release it as level 1 after fainting.

### Level 2

**Eats food**: Swallow the left-most shop pet and release it as level 2 after fainting.

### Level 3

**Eats food**: Swallow the left-most shop pet and release it as level 3 after fainting.

The **Beluga Whale** is a Tier 5 Pet that is found in the **Golden Pack**. Giving foods to the Beluga Whale during shop phase will remove the left-most pet in the shop. Then when the Beluga Whale faints, it will summon a copy of that pet with the same level as itself.

Summoned pet's stats will be their base stats multiplied by the Beluga Whale’s level.

Beluga Whale is *not* considered a Faint pet, and does not synergize with pets that call for Faint abilities.

## Strategy

Beluga Whale is a unique summoner that can target any pet of its choosing to summon on faint. This strong ability comes with an equally hefty downside: It's very hard to scale, level up, or simply giving food perks to, since each food will overwrite the swallowed pet.

You need to be extra careful every time you feed the Beluga Whale, or even when feeding other pets with random food like  Lettuce. Due to this weakness, you'll oftentimes lose gold on rolling just to make sure that when the Beluga Whale is given food, it'll swallow something useful. Alternatively, it might be ideal to never feed it again once it has swallowed a good pet.

Pets to look for swallowing are summoners like  Slug and  Wolf, or high base stats pets like  Warthog and  Cobra. It also pairs well with pets that want multiple faints or attacks like  Poison Dart Frog,  Cobra and  Grizzly Bear.

## Version History

### 26 January 2023

* Changed name to Beluga Whale from White Whale

### 9th January 2023

* The White Whale is added into the game as part of the Golden Pack.
Microbe

The **Microbe** is a  Tier 4 pet, available in the **Puppy Pack**. When the Microbe faints, it makes all pets - including its friends -  Weak.

Leveling up the Microbe doesn't change its ability.

Weak makes pets take 3 extra damage.

## Strategy

* A Microbe is strong when paired with a  Turtle. Once every pet is weak, a Turtle can faint to pass on  Melon to units in the back. This removes Weak, even after the armor is broken.
* Microbes can be good with pets that can summon others, such as the  Deer. The summoned units will not be Weak, and will do extra damage to the enemy.
* The Ox is also good with the Microbe as it gains Melon, removing the Weak.
* The Microbe is best placed at the front of your team because it will give Weak to the most amount of enemies.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Microbe's tier to  Tier 4 from  Tier 5

### 9th January 2023

* Changed the Microbe's tier to  Tier 5 from  Tier 4.

### 8th December 2021

* Changed the Microbe's tier to  Tier 4 from  Tier 3.

## Trivia

* The Classic Microbe has the same sprite as the Classic Weak sprite. The same goes for the Standard sprite save for the eyes.

Bear

The **Bear** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in **Custom packs** and sometimes available in the **Weekly Pack**. Before the Bear faints, it gives  Honey perk to adjacent pets. Leveling up the Bear will increase the number of pets that receive  Honey.

## Strategy

Bear is very similar to  Rat, but somehow worse. Since Honey is given to both your pets and the enemy's, which will then summon 1/1  Bees on both sides, Bear effectively contributes nothing to the battle, and is almost never worth buying. The Bees can't be "wasted" like Dirty Rats can, and Bear is very unlikely to turn draws into losses like Rat. But because the enemies have to be knocked out *again* to summon Bees, it's much less effective than Rat which summon Dirty Rats immediately.

Let's try to at least go through its potential usage:

* **Replacing food perks**: It can be used similar to  Microbe to disarm  Melon,  Peanut and others. You can then pair with something that reapply food perks onto your team like  Turtle, except that this is less reliable than Microbe Turtle, because the Bees can accidentally break the Melons. Furthermore, rather than replacing enemies' food,  Raccoon may work better as it steals foods instead. Additionally, pairing this pet with the Axolotl to give permanent scaling to pets given the Honey perk is a strong strategy.
* **Summons for your team**: There are many better summoners that also don't summon for the enemy. On the same tier - tier 3,  Sheep is literally just a better summoner, and Sheep is as basic as it can get.
* **Summoning weak enemies for Hurt/Knock out triggers**: Doesn't really work. The Bees only show up *after* the enemies are knocked out, so the Hurt/Knock out pets still have to deal with big enemies before getting to weak ones.
* **Summoning weak enemies for anti-summon pets**: Only  Aardvark and  Royal Flycatcher benefit from this. It can be better than Rat for this purpose, since each Honey is a guaranteed trigger for Aardvark/Flycatcher.

Egyptian Vulture

## Ability

### Level 1

**Knock out**: Activate **Faint** ability on the nearest friend behind. Works 1 time a turn.

### Level 2

**Knock out**: Activate **Faint** ability on the nearest friend behind. Works 2 times a turn.

### Level 3

**Knock out**: Activate **Faint** ability on the nearest friend behind. Works 3 times a turn.

The **Egyptian Vulture** is a Tier 4 Pet that is found in the **Golden Pack**. When it knocks out an opposing pet, it activates the faint ability of the nearest friend behind up to three times depending on its level.

## Strategy

The Egyptian Vulture synergizes notably well with **faint** activated  Trumpet generators.

## Version History

### 9th January 2023

* The Egyptian Vulture is added into the game as part of the Golden Pack.
Baboon

## Ability

### Level 1

**End Turn**: Give one random friend from the current shop tier +1  attack and + 2  health.

### Level 2

**End Turn**: Give one random friend from the current shop tier +2  attack and + 4  health.

### Level 3

**End Turn**: Give one random friend from the current shop tier +3  attack and + 6  health.

The **Baboon** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Golden Pack**. When you end your turn, the Baboon buffs a random friend from the current shop tier. The amount of stats given is increased when levelling up the Baboon.

*Note that the Baboon does **NOT** buff shop pets and if no pet on your team has the same tier as the current shop tier the Baboon's ability will not work in any way.*

## Strategy

The main way to utilize the Baboon is by isolating one pet from the current shop tier so it will always get buffed by the Baboon, for example: Have only 1 Tier 4 friend on the team when at Tier 4.

At tier 6, The Baboon will always buff Tier 6 pets going forward. Keep that in mind if your going late game.

## Version History

### 26th January 2023

* The Baboon's base stats changed to "1/2" from "2/3".

### 9th January 2023

* The Baboon is added into the game as part of the Golden Pack.
Kangaroo

The **Kangaroo** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Turtle Pack**. When the friend ahead of the Kangaroo attacks, the Kangaroo gains a buff to its stats. Leveling up the Kangaroo increases the buff it receives each time its ability is triggered.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* The Kangaroo's base stats were changed to 2/3
* The Kangaroo's ability was changed to "**Friend ahead attacks**: Gain +1/+1, +2/+2, +3/+3." from: "**Friend ahead attacks**: Gain +2/+2, +4/+4, +6/+6."
* Changed tier to  Tier 2 from  Tier 3.

## Gallery

Dog

The **Dog** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Turtle Pack**. Whenever a friend is summoned, the Dog will gain a stat buff. However, the stat boost will only last until end of battle. Levelling up the Dog will increase the amount of stats gained for each friend summoned.

## Strategy

The Dog has mediocre stats. It can be a heavy hitter for a few turns early on if you're buying and selling lots of pets, but tends to fall off quickly unless supported by a summoning team featuring units like the  Sheep and the  Fly. Even then, its ability is weak compared to that of pets like the  Hippo and the  Kangaroo.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Dog's base stats to 2/3 from 3/4
* Changed the Dog's ability to "**Friend summoned**: Gain +2/+1, +4/+2, +6/+3 until end of battle." from: "**Friend summoned**: Gain +1/+1, +2/+2, +3/+3 until end of battle."
* Removed from the **Puppy Pack**.

### 17th August 2022

* Changed the Dog's base stats to 3/4 from 3/3

### 15th August 2022

* Changed the Dog's ability to "**Friend summoned**: Gain +1/+1, +2/+2, +3/+3 until end of battle." from: "**Friend summoned**: Gain +1/+2/+3 attack or +1/+2/+3 health."

### 10th May 2022

* Changed the Dog's base stats to 3/3 from: 2/2

### 12th August 2021

* Dog was changed to begin appearing at Tier 3.

Buy-sell Pets

Buy-sell pets are pets that can be used together to form buy-sell teams. These can be pets who give stats when a friend is bought or sold, pets whose ability is triggered when they're bought or sold, and pets that enable a lack of a fifth pet so that it's slot can be used for buy-selling. Buy-sell teams are based around buying and selling pets to gain stats.

Gold pets work especially well with buy-sell - allowing more pets to be bought and sold each turn. These pets are not included here to avoid bloat.
Hammerhead Shark

The **Hammerhead Shark** is a Tier 6 Pet, available in the **Star Pack,** as well as Custom Pack. At the start of turn it will gain Gold  if there is at least one level 3 Pet. Levelling up the Hammerhead Shark will increase the amount of Gold gained at the start of turn.

## Strategy

the Hammerhead Shark is a decently strong Tier 6 units. Since it doesn't have an active ability, it is best gotten early from a level-up, when there's lives to spare and time to get value of its ability. Alternatively, if there's 3 gold left and nothing better in the shop.

To get the most value from the extra gold, use pets that gain more value if more money is spent during the turn: the best examples are buy-sell teams and food teams. On the contrary, scalers like  Penguin,  Monkey, and  Giraffe get little use out of the extra gold.

Since the Hammerhead Shark requires a level 3 pet, it can be effective with pets that are easier to level up. The best strategy is to keep a tier 1 pet for a long time, until you level-up a pet that gets high use from a level 3, and is worth keeping around for the rest of the game. Additionally, since the  Bison also requires a level 3 pet, using both may be a good way to earn value from the "useless" level 3 pet.

Good pets to get to level 3 with Hammerhead Shark are  Starfish,  Seal,  Swan and  Gold Fish.

If used with the  Puppy or the  Tyrannosaurus, the extra gold can make a bigger difference every turn.

You can use the extra gold to get the shop bigger with the  Chicken.

Since the Hammerhead Shark doesn't get value from its stats, keeping it weak and pivoting to stronger pets later might be wise.

## Version History

### 10th May 2022

* Changed ability to "Start of turn: Gain 3 gold if there is at least one level 3 friendly pet" from: "Start of turn: Gain 2 gold per level 3 pet".

## Trivia

* Before being released, the Hammerhead Shark's eyes were much more lopsided.

Ostrich

## Ability

### Level 1

**End turn**: Gain +1  attack and +1  health for each tier 5 pet or higher in the shop.

### Level 2

**End turn**: Gain +2  attack and +2  health for each tier 5 pet or higher in the shop.

### Level 3

**End turn**: Gain +3  attack and +3  health for each tier 5 pet or higher in the shop.

The **Ostrich** is a  Tier 6 Pet, available in the **Star Pack**. At the end of turn, the Ostrich will gain a small amount of stats that will be multiplied by the amount of tier 5 or higher pets in the shop. Leveling up the Ostrich will increase the amount of stats that will then be multiplied.

## Strategy

Ostrich is one of the fastest self scaler in the game that can gain massive amount of stats per turn. It's best utilized by keeping the entire shop frozen with tier 5 and up pets to guarantee a big buff. A more flexible way to do it would be keeping only 2 or 3 pets frozen, and unfreeze the remaining slots for next turn so you can find new pets or level ups before going back to freezing tier 5 and 6 pets.

While the shop usually only has 5 pets at maximum, with good use of  Chocolate into level ups, it's possible to increase this amount up to *9 pets*. If they're all frozen, a level 2 Ostrich can gain +18/+18 per turn, and at level 3 it'll be +27/+27.

## Version History

### 14/04/2022

* Changed Ostrich to gain +1/+1 for each tier 5 pet or higher in the shop
