World Turtle

The **World Turtle** is the fifth type of turtle by zoo order. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their turtle habitat to level 2 or higher.

## Appearance

The World Turtle has deep blue flippers and a deep blue head. Its shell, however, differs from all other turtles, with its sea blue and green painting, representing sea and a continent. Trees similar to those in Mountains, albeit coloured a deeper shade of green, sit on the green coloured parts of its shell, sized variously. Faint silky white marks are also present on its shell, possibly representing clouds.

## Description

*A massive turtle who carried the entire world on its shell. That's a lot of pressure.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Olympus 5 or greater.
* Giant Turtle tamed.
* Turtle habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 1000m in Olympus.

**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 1000m.

## Baby World Turtle

* Ridden animals are 6% slower
* *Energy drains 1% slower in the Olympus (passive)*

## Trivia

* The World Turtle references the World Turtle, a mytheme from Hindu, Chinese and indigenous American mythology.
	+ The description humorously references the huge amounts of pressure that a planet's core must support, which the World Turtle would have to sustain if it was practical.
		- It also plays on the mental meaning of "pressure", with the mental burden of carrying the whole world on one's back being extreme.

## Notes

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

The **Warmer Bear** is the tenth polar bear in the game. It was first released as a part of the 2021 Winter Holiday Event.

## Appearance

The Warmer Bear is identical to a Polar Bear, albeit it wears a variety of warm winter clothing. A woolly-looking vintage red sweater, that features embossed snowflake decals amongst other patterns, covers its body. Around its neck is a bright green-and-red striped scarf. The Warmer Bear wears a green beanie with a white triangle pattern around the brim on its head, complete with brown antlers sprouting from the top and small bits of string hanging from either side. Its ears poke through said beanie. Its snout is slightly darker in colour, and features a large round red nose.

## Description

*Never worry if a polar bear is cold in winter, it has its way to keep warm.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Tundra 5 or greater.
* Obtain in events:
	+ Purchase for 350 in the 2021 Winter Holiday Event.
	+ Purchase for 300 in the Badge Shop.
		- Warmer Bear is tamed immediately upon purchase.
* Once obtained, ride past 2000m in Tundra.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 2000m.

## Trivia

* The description plays on the fact that polar bears are adapted to live in the polar regions, and have their own ways of staying warm in extremely low temperatures.

## Notes

* The Warmer Bear was released in version 1.51.6 on the 19th of December 2021, as a part of the 2021 Winter Holiday Event.
Taurodactyl

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

## Appearance

The Taurodactyl mostly resembles the Pterodactyl with a few differences. It has been coloured dark brown all over, fading to beige around its face. Its red wings have black spots on them, and it has a large gold ring hanging from its beak. The Taurodactyl also has a pair of wide black horns on its head.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 5 or greater.
* Pterodactyl tamed.
* Pterodactyl habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 200m in Jurassic.

**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 200m.

## Trivia

* The name Taurodactyl is a portmanteau of the words "Taurus", which is Latin for 'bull', and "pterodactyl".
	+ The description further contributes to the bovine theme, being a pun on 'high stakes' meaning a lot is at risk, and "steak", meat from a bull or a cow.
	+ The Baby Taurodactyl's ability where bucks become 10% smaller also contributes to this theme, with bulls being known to buck when ridden.

## Notes

* The Taurodactyl was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
Social Events

**Social events** are events hosted by Rodeo Stampede developers. These are usually hosted on KTplay, but may also be hosted on Facebook and Twitter. They usually involve some rewards to the player, such as the ability to win a free epic animal and free .

Most social events have the secondary motive of promoting Rodeo Stampede and increasing players and retention rate. Many involved sharing on social media to promote Rodeo Stampede to a wider audience, while others encouraged players to play more to earn better rewards.

## Types of Social Events

* Sharing
* Art and design
* Challenges
* Other gameplay events
White Lion

The **White Lion** is the former second lion type in the game.

## Appearance

The White Lion is effectively identical to the Lion, except it has light grey, almost white fur, and a light, dusty brown mane.

## Description

*White lions are a rare genetic morph, unfortunately they can't dance.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Savannah 5 or greater.
* Lion tamed.
* Ride past 1400m in Savannah.

**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 1400m.

## Trivia

* The White Lion is based on real-life white lions, which, as referenced in the description, are a rare colour mutation of the Southern African lion.
* The description also references Alex the Dancing Lion from the *Madagascar* movie franchise.

## Notes

* The White Lion was released in the soft launch of the game only, in versions 0.1.0 and 0.2.0. It was replaced by the Dande Lion in the main release.
	+ The appearance of the White Lion changed from version 0.1.0 to version 0.2.0. In version 0.1.0, the White Lion was completely white, including its mane.
* The White Lion did not give XP due to being available only before the release of hats.
Speeding Animals

**Speeding animals**, also called **speedsters** or **runners**, are animals which are classified as speeding based on their angry behaviour: continually speeding up attempting to crash the player. There are currently 15 speeding animals.

## Habitat Upgrades

Most speeding animals share similar habitat upgrades which helps in identifying the speeding animals. These are:

* At high speeds (species) will throw you clear if you crash
* Get bonus coins while travelling at top speed on (species)

## Special Cases

### Pillbugs and Pangolins

Both pillbugs and pangolins act as speeding animals by gradually speeding up, but they have one special addition; they are the only animals to "roll." When a pillbug or a pangolin gets angry, it jumps up then wraps itself into a ball, taking the form of whatever object the animal is based on. Afterward, it starts rolling like a sphere and acts like a common speeding animal, but has poor steering.
Species: Squid

**Squid** are the third species of animal available in the Ocean Zoo. Squid are speeding animals. There are 6 different types of squid.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Squid move forwards with a pumping motion, appearing mostly alone. With each pump, the tentacles fan out and lurch back, propelling the squid forward.
* **When ridden:** Squid move at a faster pace, with the same jerky pumping motion.
* **When angry:** Squid accelerate dramatically.
* **In habitat:** Squid gently float around in the habitat, moving with the same pumping motion.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Squid 'charge' slightly, before spinning rapidly twice on the spot in a clockwise motion.

## Tips

Squid move very fast when angry, making them ideal for getting to O² bubbles in time. However, they come with the drawback of slightly clunky motion, especially when coupled with a large hitbox.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Jumping from a squid temporarily increases lasso size by 30%
* **Level 2** - 2x more squid in the stampede
* **Level 3** - Ride for an extra 1s before a squid gets angry
* **Level 4** - Takes 10% less time for the Ocean zone to recharge
* **Level 5** - Gain 50% more ticket money from squid
* **Level 6** - Jump further from squid
* **Level 7** - While you are in the air, squid move towards your lasso
* **Level 8** - Get bonus coins while travelling at top speed on squid
* **Level 9** - 2x more rare squid in the stampede

## Notes

* Squid were released in version 2.0.0 on the 14th of April 2022, along with the Ocean Zoo, Ocean and all original Ocean species.
Species: Raptor

**Raptors** are the second species of animal available in the Jurassic zone and the Space Zoo, and possibly the first that the player can find in the stampede. Raptors are speeding animals. There are 10 different types of raptor. Like all Space Zoo animals, more raptors are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the raptor habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Jurassic 1.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Raptors walk in a forward direction.
* **When ridden:** Raptors speed up slightly from their wild pace.
* **When angry:** Raptors accelerate dramatically.
* **In habitat:** Raptors walk around, and occasionally tilt their head and look around curiously.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They snap their jaws twice and move their heads side to side.

## Tips

Raptors are capable of getting the player from the start to 2000m very quickly and easily. They are easy to control and run very fast, making it an excellent distance animal. They also offer the ability to possibly survive following a crash, if the raptor habitat has been upgraded to level 6.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more raptors in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare raptors to the stampede (Feathered Raptor, Belleociraptor)
* **Level 3** - Ride for an extra 2s before a raptor gets angry
* **Level 4** - While you are in the air, raptors move towards your lasso
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare raptors to the stampede (Naptor, Wraptor)
* **Level 6** - At high speeds raptors will throw you clear if you crash
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins while travelling at top speeds on raptors
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare raptors in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Raptor to the stampede (Grim Raptor)

## Notes

* Raptors were released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017 along with Jurassic, the Space Zoo and the other species making up the first seven released in Jurassic.
	+ Like all other original Jurassic species, raptors were bugged in that even if the player had not yet unlocked the required level to unlock a regular animal, they could still find all raptors from level 0 upon release.
		- This was fixed in version 1.9.0 on the 22nd of June 2017.
Walrus

The **Walrus** is the first walrus in the stampede, and possibly the first animal the player tames in Tundra.

## Appearance

The Walrus is mainly brown, getting darker near its front and on its top. It walks on four flippers which are the same shade as its body, and has a very dark brown, almost black, nose. However, its most prominent features are its two tusks. They are about the same length as its flippers, and are coloured a metallic grey.

## Description

*Large flippered marine mammals with long tusks which can grow up to 1 meter in length.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Tundra 1 or greater.
* Ride in Tundra (found jumping out of large holes in the side walls).

## Trivia

* The Walrus is based on a real-life walrus.
* The description references some trivia about real life walruses.

## Notes

* The Walrus was released on the 25th of January 2017 in version 1.5.0, along with Tundra and all other original Tundra animals.
* Like most other Tundra descriptions, the description was missing a period at the end.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
Trojan Horse 2.0

The **Trojan Horse 2.0** is the seventh pegasus in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their pegasus habitat to level 5 or higher.

## Appearance

The Trojan Horse 2.0's body is stripy dark brown all over, with reddish-orange accents on its wings, snout and a cog on the base of its tail. The orange accents on its wings also have round bolt-like objects in a row.

## Description

*When the enemy wouldn't open the gates a second time, they had to improvise.*

## Requirements

* Olympus 1 unlocked.
* Pegasus tamed.
* Pegasus habitat upgraded to level 5 or higher.
* Ride past 1800m in Olympus.

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

## Baby Trojan Horse 2.0

* Bucks are 15% smaller
* *Crates give 3% more coins (passive)*

## Trivia

* The Trojan Horse 2.0 references the Trojan Horse, a giant deceptive wooden horse of legend.

Toucan

The **Toucan** is the first toucan that can be found in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Toucan has the same general appearance to a real life toucan. It is mostly dark grey, with a big orange beak and a dark grey beak tip, short wings, light blue feet, and a light underside.

## Description

*A toucan's bill can account to 50% of its entire body surface area.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 5 or greater.
* Ride in Jungle.

## Trivia

* The Toucan is based on a real-life toucan. The species it resembles the most is a Toco Toucan (or Common Toucan).
	+ The Toucan's description is actually a true fact, however, in-game, the Toucan is not portrayed to have such a large beak.
* The Baby Toucan's abilities reference the rarity of a toucan in real life and the Toucan's abilities in game.
* In some promotional image, a Toucan-Hornbill hybrid could be seen. It has the design of the Toucan, but the belly is sligthly paler and the whole body has a sligthly dark blue hue. It also dons a Hornbill casque on its head.

## Notes

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

The **Tapejara** is the ninth pterodactyl in the game. It was first released as a part of the Fourth Anniversary Event.

## Appearance

The Tapejara is one of the most unique pterodactyls in the game. It is coloured mainly bright, electric blue, with electric purple features. The sail-like object on the top of its head is electric purple, with electric blue stripes running across it. Its wings are coloured in a triangular pattern, with darker blue stripes giving way to the same electric purple colour found on the sail.

## Description

*A legendary creature since the Phanerozoic. Its large cranial crest marks its glory.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 5 or greater.
* Obtain in events:
	+ Purchase for 200 in the Fifth Anniversary Event.
	+ Purchase for 200 in the Summer Party.
	+ Purchase for 300 in the Seventh Anniversary Event.
	+ Purchase for 300 in the Badge Shop.
		- Tapejara is tamed immediately upon purchase.
	+ Complete Tapejara boss mission in the Fourth Anniversary Event (tips for completion are below).

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

## Tips for Boss Mission

This boss mission requires the player to ride the Tapejara for an extended period of time, navigating their way through an elevated stampede area featuring rocks scattered around, as well as S-shaped lines of small rocks. Due to the ground being elevated, the Tapejara, which gets angry almost immediately, will only rise a very marginal amount every time it swoops, just enough to fly over a small rock. It is important in this boss mission to judge the landing of the swoops very well, and pinpoint the spot where the Tapejara is desired to land, as when it flies up, it will be unaffected by small rocks.

## Baby Tapejara

* Taming animals is 5% quicker
* Rare animals appear 13% more often
* Mating animals appear 13% more often

## Trivia

* The Tapejara resembles a real-life tapejara, a prehistoric pterosaur.
	+ The description mentions some trivia about the tapejara, specifically mentioning its most defining feature, its crest.
	+ The Tapejara is one of two animals that reference a pterosaur, the other being the Pterodactyl.
	+ The appearance of the Tapejara appears to be based on this image of the mutated X-Tapejara from Genesis DLC pack of ARK: Survival Evolved.
* The spawn rate of the Tapejara appears to be the lowest out of any animal in the game.
	+ Ironically, the Tapejara's rarity is common instead of special.

## Notes

* The Tapejara was first released in version 1.27.0 on the 16th of June 2020, as a part of the Fourth Anniversary Event.
Winter Holiday Event 2017

The **2017 Winter Holiday Event** was a limited time event in the game that occurred from the 14th of December 2017 to the 15th of January 2018.

## About

This event, gameplay wise, was identical to the 2016 Winter Holiday Event and did not include any gameplay changes. Instead, a sub-zone was added, which was separate from regular gameplay. The sub-zone was identical to Mountains although certain graphical elements were changed, with Christmas styled obstacles. The music was also an arrangement of the Mountains theme.

On the sub-zone, the player had to ride many types of reindeer with different behaviours, in which some carried sleds, to collect presents (). The player was required to ride a reindeer for an extended period of time if it carried a sled to be granted . There were 3 different sleds that could be ridden. The brown sled rewarded the player with 3, the purple sled rewarded 6 and the golden sled rewarded 12. Alternatively, the player could collect bouncing Santa sacks with presents in them to collect 1-3. The player could save up presents to trade them in for animals and hats. The outfits and animals from last year were obtainable again, and 3 new outfits were added, however there were no new animals.

Additionally, there were added Christmas decorations in the Sky Zoo.

While these hats and animals have expired, the player can obtain them in the future events.

## Animals

 Reindeer in Training | Moose | Mountains 5 | 250
Species: Tiger

**Tigers** are the thirteenth animal species that the player unlocks in the Sky Zoo. Tigers are eating animals. There are 14 different types of tiger. All tigers can only be found from 1000m onwards, and can be unlocked from Jungle 4.

## Tigers

**Note:** All boss animals can only be found in the stampede and give XP after the player has initially befriended it in a boss mission.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Tigers move at a slow pace.
* **When ridden:** Tigers run at a faster pace than lions and eat small animals that it runs into. Tigers cannot eat hippos, rhinos or other tigers in Jungle.
* **When angry:** Tigers will buck the player straight up in the air and eat them, before promptly falling asleep.
* **In habitat:** They stay curled up in the position as if it ate the player, occasionally yawning.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They go on all fours in lunge position and roar.

## Tips

Tigers are extremely similar to lions in behaviour, the only real difference being that they are slightly bigger, move quicker and cannot eat most big animals, hippos and other tigers. They have some use in Jungle but to ride tigers without crashing, quick thinking is required to go for the animals that can be eaten (alligators, boars, gorillas) and avoid those that can't (rhinos, hippos and other tigers). Tigers are most useful for their ability in which the player's lasso size isn't reduced when they land on tigers if their habitat is upgraded to level 5.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more tigers in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Eating boars keeps a tiger happy for longer
* **Level 3** - Ride faster through water on tigers
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from tigers
* **Level 5** - Landing on a tiger doesn't reduce your lasso size
* **Level 6** - Eating animals keeps tigers happy for longer
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins for eating other animals on tigers
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare tigers in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Tiger to the stampede (Pink Panthera)

## Notes

* Tigers were released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all original Savannah animals, Jungle and all other original Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.
* The level 5 upgrade "Increased riding speed on tigers" was replaced with "Landing on a tiger doesnt reduce your lasso size" on the 14th of December 2017 in 1.13.0, with tigers instead starting faster than previously.
	+ The new replacement level 5 upgrade was included due to the dissatisfaction of the Rodeo Stampede Reddit community.
	+ Interestingly, the new ability contained a punctuation error, with "doesnt" missing an apostrophe.
		- This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 21st of March 2018.
Wild Boar

The **Wild Boar** is the first boar that the player can find in the game, and usually the first animal befriended in Jungle.

## Appearance

The Wild Boar resembles a real life wild boar, light brown fur, four stubby legs with dark brown trotters, and a short tail. Its head has a large, long snout housing two black rectangular nostrils, two long, white tusks extending from the base of its snout, and a dark brown mop of hair covering only the top of its head.

## Description

*Boars remove parasites by rolling in mud, so the mud actually makes them cleaner, not dirtier.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 1 or greater.
* Ride in Jungle.

## Trivia

* The Wild Boar is a representation of a real life wild boar.
	+ The Wild Boar's description references a wild boar's behaviour in real life.
	+ The Wild Boar is one of two animals that reference a real life boar, the other three being the Indian Boar.

## Notes

* The Wild Boar was released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all original Savannah animals, Jungle and all other original Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.
* The Wild Boar's description had the word "infact" [*sic*] instead of "actually" in the soft launch.
Species: Griffin

**Griffins** are the fourth species of animal available in Olympus, and the thirteenth animal species in the Space Zoo. Griffins are eating animals. There are 9 different types of griffin. Like all Space Zoo animals, more griffins are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the griffin habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Olympus 2.

## Griffins

**Note:** All boss animals can only be found in the stampede and give XP after the player has initially befriended it in a boss mission.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Griffins can be found running slightly faster than other animals, occasionally eating one that gets in its way.
* **When ridden:** Griffins can eat animals ahead of them, and jump up and fly if there are no animals ahead. Feeding a griffin more animals will make them stay happier for longer.
* **When angry:** Griffins buck the player up and eat them before falling asleep.
* **In habitat:** Griffins mostly remain curled up, resting. They will occasionally look up and yawn, or stand up to walk around and change position.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Griffins get up onto their feet and roar to the sky, leaning back.

## Tips

Griffins are very useful before 2000m, where griffins' high running and flying speed assist with reaching animals to eat more quickly to keep them happy for longer. Later on, they are still useful, especially when the habitat is upgraded to level 7, allowing griffins to eat anything, although their high speed makes it easy to crash into rocks or trees, particularly when lunging to eat an animal. A griffins' glide is also useful as the player can fly over the sides of cliffs and animals, although the player must be wary of overhanging arches.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more griffins in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare griffins to the stampede (Hippogriff, Manticore)
* **Level 3** - Ride for an extra 1.5s before a griffin gets angry
* **Level 4** - Get bonus coins for eating other animals on griffins (unlocks Riffin mission)
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare griffins to the stampede (Chimera, Spiffin')
* **Level 6** - Energy drains 10% slower in the Olympus
* **Level 7** - Allows griffins to eat anything
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare griffins the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Griffin to the stampede (Griffin Door)

## Notes

* Griffins were released on the 18th of August 2017 in version 1.10.0 along with Olympus and the remaining original Olympus species.
Sheep in Wolf's Clothing

The **Sheep in Wolf's Clothing** is the second sheep that can be befriended in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Sheep in Wolf's Clothing's base body is identical to the Merino Sheep, although to differentiate it from the Merino Sheep, it wears a costume that is mostly grey with dark grey triangles on the back and eyes that slant downwards to give a fierce appearance. The top of its nose is a darker grey colour, as are the two blunted pyramids on its head, representing ears. The costume can be seen to poorly cover its legs, body and head only, and gives it the appearance of a wolf.

## Description

*A brave warrior wearing a trophy, or a playful prankster wearing a onesie…*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 1 or greater.
* Merino Sheep tamed.
* Ride past 400m in Outback.

**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 Sheep in Wolf's Clothing

* Jump from animals 3% faster
* Taming animals is 15% quicker

## Trivia

* The Sheep in Wolf's Clothing reverse plays on the idiom 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. 'Sheep in wolf's clothing' would mean to appear as strong willed, but deep inside be weak and manipulable.
* The Sheep in Wolf's Clothing's description is very similar to the Gryphon's.

## Notes

* The Sheep in Wolf's Clothing was released in version 1.3.0 on the 13th of October 2016 along with Outback and all other Outback species.
* At an unknown date, the description for the Sheep in Wolf's Clothing changed. The original description was 'A brave warrior wearing a trophy, or a coward hiding in fear...'.
Womdrian

The **Womdrian** is the fifth type of wombat in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Womdrian can be seen to have a grid pattern covering its torso, with the top being symmetrical and embodying the colours sea blue, pale red, pale green, off white and yellow, separated by clear black lines. On the sides of its body it has the colours off white, primary yellow, primary red, primary blue and dark green, arranged in the same way. Each of its white legs has black lines running along the edges, and black lines also split its face into three parts, with the lines running on the inside of each eye. Its ears are also cube shaped.

## Description

*This minimal artistic genius crafts universal forms through abstraction, reduction, and dirt.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 2 or greater.
* Wombat tamed.
* Ride past 1800m in Outback.

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

## Baby Womdrian

* Missions give 20% more coins
* Taming mating animals is 10% quicker

## Trivia

* The Womdrian is a reference to Piet Mondrian, a notable artist famous for creating the minimalist abstract design of primary coloured squares separated by black lines.
	+ The description supports and plays on this by referencing a wombat's underground nature.

## Notes

* The Womdrian was released in version 1.3.0 on the 13th of October 2016 along with Outback and all other Outback species.
Species: Dragon

**Dragons** are the sixth species of animal available in the Olympus island, and the fifteenth in the Space Zoo. Dragons are vaulting animals. There are 10 different types of dragon. Like all Space Zoo animals, more dragons are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the dragon habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Olympus 4, however this excludes the Quetzalcoatl, which is unlocked from Olympus 5.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Dragons run in a pouncing manner alone in the stampede.
* **When ridden:** Dragons run faster than when wild and will leap up and jump over trees and rocks, smashing anything upon landing. Leaping over obstacles makes the dragon get angry slower. When running they smash animals normally, similarly to elephants.
* **When angry:** Slows down, bucks the rider in the air and eats them.
* **In habitat:** Dragons will mostly laze around, curled up on the ground. Occasionally, dragons will walk around to change position, or look up and snap their jaw while still curled up.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Dragons will get up onto their feet, lean back and roar to the sky.

## Tips

Dragons are good as they offer a good amount of time of invincibility. They are also fun to use due to their jumping mechanism, which allows for more area to be smashed. Past 2000m, dragons are a luxury, giving the player precious time of invincibility to reach a higher distance. Jumping off dragons is also underrated; the player can jump in excess of 100m off a dragon.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more dragons in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare dragons to the stampede (Colchian Dragon, Nidhogg)
* **Level 3** - Ride for an extra 2s before a dragon gets angry
* **Level 4** - Jump further from dragons
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare dragons to the stampede (Y Ddraig Goch, Cockatrice)
* **Level 6** - Get bonus coins for landing on top of animals or obstacles while riding dragons
* **Level 7** - Ride for an extra 1s before a dragon gets angry
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare dragons the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Dragon to the stampede (Zmey Gorynych)

## Notes

* Dragons were released on the 17th of September 2017 in version 1.11.0 along with turtles and hydras.
* All dragons are based on mythical dragons from different cultures around the world.
* Dragons are the only animals that eat the player when angry that cannot eat animals when ridden.
Velociraptor

The **Velociraptor** is the first raptor in the game.

## Appearance

The Velociraptor is predominantly coloured a bluish teal, with a lighter underside and black feet and hands. It leans forwards and runs on two legs, and has a long straight tail stretching out behind it. Its small teeth are visible, hanging over its bottom lip, and the inside of the mouth can be seen to be red.

## Description

*Velociraptor, meaning "swift seizer" lived in Mongolia around 73 million years ago.*

## Requirements

* Jurassic 1 unlocked.
* Ride in Jurassic.

## Trivia

* The Velociraptor is based on a possible representation of a velociraptor based on fossils and skeletons. However, it is unlikely that real life velociraptors were bluish teal.
	+ It seems to be based on the popular belief that velociraptors were human-sized; this is due to a mix up with another related species, deinonychus, as well as popularisation through the movie franchise *Jurassic Park*. Real-life velociraptors were about the size of a turkey.
* The description references its known characteristics and includes brief information.

## Notes

* The Velociraptor was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
Wombatman

The **Wombatman** is the eighth wombat in the stampede, added as part of the 2016 Halloween update.

## Appearance

The Wombatman has a dark, almost black, navy blue torso, with its legs and bat-styled spiky wings coloured olive. It wings have darker markings on each side, as does its face below its eyes, and its body running straight down the centre. Around its waist is an amber utility belt with a cool grey buckle that is interestingly on the top side.

## Description

*Can't fly but has a cool mask and a fake utility belt.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 2 or greater.
* Wombat tamed.
* Ride past 1300m in Outback.

**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 1300m.

## Baby Wombatman

* Jump from animals 10% faster
* Jump from animals 4% higher

## Trivia

* The Wombatman is a play on Batman, a popular DC superhero.
	+ The description is ironic in how it states how pathetic Wombatman is as a superhero, which is unexpected.
	+ The Baby Wombatman's abilities which boost jumping may reference Batman's superhero abilities, particularly in 'The Dark Knight Rises' where he jumps the ledge which only one person had jumped before in The Pit.

## Notes

* The Wombatman was released in version 1.3.1 on the 20th of October 2016 as part of the 2016 Halloween update as a permanent add-on.
Zoos

**Zoos** are where all collected animals are housed. They are housed in habitats, which are upgradable and change in appearance when upgraded. Every habitat can be upgraded 9 times. Zoos change appearance each time the ship is upgraded. Each zoo can be seen to be on a flying ship of some sort. The player can earn large amounts of money from 'opening for business', with visitors being let into the zoo. When visitors are in the zoo, zoo coins () can be found throughout the zoo. Tapping one of said coins would result in the player earning a very small amount of money. The more animals that the player has on their ship, the more zoo money they get on a cruise. The player can also get more money from cruises if they have upgraded animal enclosures to a specific level. There are 3 different zoos, the Sky Zoo, Space Zoo, and Ocean Zoo, housing different animals and serving as gateways to different zones.

## Zoos

* Sky Zoo
* Space Zoo
* Ocean Zoo
Species: Lion

**Lions** are the seventh animal species in the game. Lions are eating animals. There are 14 different types of lion. They are available from Savannah 5, and can only be found after 1000m.

## Lions

### Deleted

These lions were part of the soft launch of the game, but were replaced in the official release.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Lions run at a medium pace and eat nearby wild animals.
* **When ridden:** Lions run at a brisk pace and eat animals that it runs into (depending on habitat upgrade).
* **When angry:** Lions will buck the player straight up in the air and eat them, before promptly falling asleep.
* **In habitat:** They lay down curled, like when they eat the player when they're angry. They occasionally yawn.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They go on all fours in a lunge position and roar to the sky.

## Tips

Lions are quick, and have the ability to eat other animals. When they eat other animals they get angry slower. When the lion habitat is upgraded to level 5, they have the ability to eat any animal that is on ground level. This makes them useful in that they can travel a decent distance of just over 500m without any danger of dying due to hitting an animal.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more lions in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Eating animals keeps lions happy for longer
* **Level 3** - Allows lions to eat other lions
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from lions
* **Level 5** - Allows lions to eat anything
* **Level 6** - Eating animals keeps lions happy for longer
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins for eating other animals on lions
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare lions in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Lion to the stampede (Maasai Lion)

## Notes

* Lions were released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all Savannah animals, Jungle and all other Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.
Sporeolophus

The **Sporeolophus** is the eighth type of parasaurolophus in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their parasaurolophus habitat to level 9.

## Appearance

The Sporeolophus's main body colour appears to be a dirty or off white, although its other features are what sets it apart from other parasaurolophuses. Its back, the sides of its body, crest and tail are all covered by red mushroom caps, which each have small white spots and are black on the underside. Its other striking feature is its trail of luminous green spores and wavy lines released from around its tail and midsection.

## Requirements

* Jurassic 1 unlocked.
* Parasaurolophus tamed.
* Parasaurolophus habitat upgraded to level 9.
* Ride past 1800m in Jurassic.

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

## Baby Sporeolophus

* Taming animals is 10% quicker
* Bucks are 10% smaller

## Trivia

* The Sporeolophus is a play on spores, which are commonly associated with the reproduction of mushrooms.
	+ The description plays on how vegetarians in real life consider mushrooms a substitute for meat, and how in this case, if the Sporeolophus is eaten, the predator would still be eating meat as they are eating an animal.

## Notes

* The Sporeolophus was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
Species: Owl

**Owls** are the thirty-third animal species in the Sky Zoo and the fifth animal species in Tundra. Owls are flying animals. There are 10 different types of owls. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Tundra 3.

## Owls

**Note:** All boss animals can only be found in the stampede and give XP after the player has initially befriended it.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Owls are found flying smoothly, with long wing flaps, above the stampede, usually alone but occasionally in groups of two or three.
* **When ridden:** Owls fly smoothly but more rapidly than when wild.
* **When angry:** Owls swoop down towards the ground and remain at ground level for around one second, before flapping back up to their original height and swooping again immediately. They are able to smash most animals (small animals) from level 3.
* **In habitat:** Owls walk and stand around with wings folded. They will occasionally twitch their head once to the left and right, scratching their head with the joint of their wing when they twitch their head to the right.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Owls flap their wings rapidly in two bursts.

## Tips

Owls are possibly the best animal that can be ridden infinitely in the game. They can not only carry the player infinitely, but can also smash all animals excluding big animals, if the player upgraded their habitat to level 3. For this reason they are very useful for completing missions requiring animals to be smashed. Their time in the air is less than other swooping animals such as vultures percentage wise, however, their smashing ability counteracts this problem. Owls also earn four times more  per crate, being useful money makers as they are more likely than not to hit a crate due to their long ground-level swoops.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more owls in the stampede
* **Level 2** - While you are in the air, owls move towards your lasso
* **Level 3** - owls can smash small animals
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from owls
* **Level 5** - While riding an owl, crates are worth 4x more
* **Level 6** - Ride for an extra 1s before an owl gets angry
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins by smashing animals on owls
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare owls in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Owl to the stampede (Whooodunnit)

## Notes

* Owls were released on the 25th of January 2017 in version 1.5.0, along with Tundra and all other Tundra animals.
* Upon release, owls were bugged in that they could be found before Tundra 3.
	+ This was fixed in version 1.6.0 on the 8th of February 2017.
* There is an error present in the level 3 owl habitat upgrade, in which the 'o' of "owls" should be capitalised.
Unicarp

The **Unicarp** is the third clownfish that can be found in the game.

## Appearance

The Unicarp has a sky-blue head and fins, and the fins have a thin purple border. Its body and tail are rainbow-colored ranging from red to blue from top to bottom respectively. It also has a horn on its forehead.

## Description

*A creature that is somewhat hard to come by.*

## Requirements

	+ The description references how unicorns are rare and mythical.
		- The Baby Unicarp's "Rare animals appear 8% more often" ability also refers to this.

## Notes

* The Unicarp was released in version 2.0.0 on the 14th of April 2022, along with Ocean and all other original Ocean animals and the Ocean Zoo.
TIME LOCKER BEAR

The **TIME LOCKER BEAR** is the seventh bear in the stampede. Like all level 9 animals, it requires the player to upgrade the bear habitat to level 9.

* Eating animals is 8% more effective

## Trivia

* The TIME LOCKER BEAR is a feature character from the game TIME LOCKER, along with the TIME LOCKER DOG who is its sidekick.

Species: Seal

**Seals** are the thirtieth animal species in the Sky Zoo, and possibly the first species that the player finds in Tundra. Seals are bouncing animals. There are 11 different kinds of seal. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Tundra 1.

## Seals

**Note:** All boss animals can only be found in the stampede and give XP after the player has initially befriended it in a boss mission.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Seals drag themselves forward.
* **When ridden:** Seals bounce on their belly comically and slide on ice, being able to smash small animals at level 5 when sliding.
* **When angry:** Seals have larger bounces, but apart from this they are very much the same as when ridden.
* **In habitat:** Seals will lie around, occasionally twisting their heads to the left and scratching their body with their left flippers.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Seals roll their body to the left, raising their right flippers, then roll to the right for a longer time, waving their left flippers around.

## Tips

Seals are a good Tundra animal. They're fast, they can smash small animals when sliding on ice, do not reduce the player's lasso size and move towards it. When angry, they are still very similar to when ridden, still being easy to control and hence a good animal to ride for a long time.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Seals can turn while bucking
* **Level 2** - Ride for an extra 2s before a seal gets angry
* **Level 3** - While you are in the air, seals move towards your lasso
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from seals
* **Level 5** - Smash small animals when sliding on ice
* **Level 6** - Landing on a seal doesn't reduce your lasso size
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins when smashing animals on a seal

## Requirements
