Team Comps

Team Comps are when two or more players of different species team up with each other for numerous reasons.

Here are some examples

Egrets and Water Buffalo

This team is tank healer combo functioning with the egret picking harmful insects off the water b

   uffalo whilst the water buffalo protects the egret.

Feel free to add other comps found while playing.

Team comps can rank from f tier to s tier
Tarantula

The tarantula is considered a top tier spider build and is amount the top of the arachnid meta.

## Matchups

For a bug it has a lot of good matchups. There are few bugs that can defend. The ones that can include mantises and scorpions since they have long reach attacks to defend from the overall size. Even the most can be taken out. The reason there able to do this is by overpowering and tanking moves despite being a spider.

## Abilities

### Venomous Fangs

despite not as high as other bug builds, it’s still there and lethal.

### Arachnophobia

Tarantula’s have a ability to intimidate humans making them fair better then most arachnids against humans

### Quill Attack

Tarantula can throw hairs from its back, causing blind and stun debuff to attacking players. Can be used a few times before needing to recharge.

## Tier placement

Due to evolution points being placed in size, power and endurance equally instead of Wasting it on one allowed them to rank high in A tier.
Stubbs (Cat)

## Overview

Stubbs was a Domestic Cat player, who started his gameplay on April 12, 1997. Originally a stray cat, he was found in a box of other low-level cat players by Lauri Stec, who owned a store in Talkeetna, Alaska, the state and town where Stubbs spawned in. On July 18, 1997, after numerous votes from the citizens, he would become the honorary mayor of the town. After this, he would become very popular with most players worldwide, with numerous players sending him mail and letters literally every day. He was an outdoor cat, meaning his playstyle was very flexible and he could roam wherever he wanted in the town. His career was vast and expensive, as he held this Mayor role for more than 20 years of his gameplay.

## Injuries

Due to Stubbs' popularity, and due to other animals in the server, he was prone to being attacked, and injured. Stubbs was often prone to being shot by other Human mains, although he came out fine through all attacks. Stubbs was also often attacked by Domestic Dog mains and Wolf mains, although one day, on August 13, 2013, Stubbs was attacked by a Dog player, and was brutally injured, for almost 2 weeks he was healing before resuming his role as mayor of the town. Another incident is him coming scathed on top of a garbage truck by a Wolf player after trying to run away from them. He would receive medical care immediately after.

## Passing

On July 21, 2017, Stubbs stopped breathing and was pronounced dead, ending more than 20 years of gameplay. After Stubbs passed, no one replaced his role as Honorary Mayor, although his owner gave hints that his other cat, Denali, might take over his duties as Mayor of the town. His record time as the Domestic Cat was 20 years, 3 months, and 21 days. It is suggested that the player's save might have ended it itself due to Stubbs long completing his mating questline and moving on to Denali's save file. As of August 2023, they are 6 years into their gameplay as Denali.
Space Resistance

**Space Resistance** is a joke Ability put in by the devs.

## Effect

Space Resistance is an ability that will nullify any damage by the vacuum of space. Even though Space won't instant-kill you with this ability like Supernova Resistance or Gamma-ray Burst Resistance, nonetheless it is still one of the most useless abilities in the game as no players will ever be into space without a Human mains support.

Even as a useless ability the Tardigrade has specced into it along with other some other bacteria and fungi can not only survive but thrive in the vaccum of space.

* Radiation Resistance
* Supernova Resistance
* Meteor Impact Resistance
Temnodontosaurus

Temnodontosaurus was a removed icthyosaur build from the early Jurassic. Its name means "cutting tooth lizard". This build had one of the largest eyes of any build ever in the history of the game.

## Tier Placement

The Temnodontosaurus was an S-tier build because of its high Power and Mobility. Its giant size also gave it a lot of Health. This build also had no losing matchups, even matchups against smaller icthyosaur and plesiosaur player were readily won by this build. Its large eyes also gave it a lot of Perception. Later, ichthyosaurs were F tier due to the OP build that is the Mosasaurus and other competition and predators, however in the early Jurassic, Temnodontosaurus was a great build and the peak of the icthyosaur playerbase
Tonian

Map of overworld recreation from late Tonian 750Mya

**Tonian period** is the first phase of Neoproterozoic subupdate it lasted from 1000 to 720Mya. The **Tonian** is preceded by the Stenian Period of the Mesoproterozoic Subupdate and followed by the Cryogenian. Start and end instead of being based on rocklayers, these dates are defined by the ICS based on Radioactive impurities in them.

## Playerbase

see also: Huainan biota

The first Animal build is dated to middle or late tonian 760Mya and its called Ottavia Antiqua, which has been described as Sponge like after being discovered in game files. Some dataminers think that even earlier animal is possible dating to 890Mya but its identity is highly debated . This dating is consistent with molecular data recovered through genetic studies on modern metazoan Builds (Metazoan- Basically Animalia on character select screen); more recent studies have concluded that the base of the animal character select screen is in the **Tonian**.  The first large evolutionary points usage rates among acritarchs occurred during the **Tonian**.

## Timeline

**Due to the game's history corruption, what is shown here is just speculation from game dataminers so this information may be outdated, if that is the case, please update this page.**

Giant Anteater

The giant anteater is an anteater build found in South America. This is the largest current build in the Pilosa guild. Anteaters are a class known for their [Sticky Tongue] ability, which helps them AOE loot lots of Ant and Termite players

## Abilities

### Sticky Tongue

Type:Attack

Effect:Allows the player to AOE defeat Ant and Termite players.

### Huge Claws

Type:Attack

Effect:Very high slash-type damage.

### Fowl Play

Type:Support

Effect:Intimidation scales with opponent's size.

## Tier Placement

S-tier, because of their good Power stat from its claws, which can damage or even defeat Jaguar players. It relies on a loot source that is widespread using its [Sticky Tongue] attack. It also had moderate Health and great Intimidation tactics It's ability to ahe monsterous claws allows them to defeat jaugars
Tanystropheus

## Tanystropehus

Tanystropheus were reptile builds that played on the European and Asian servers during the Triassic. Infamous for having a very long neck

## Overview

The Tanystropheus stats are not very good with a very low mobility and mediocre stats across the board. The Tanystropheus mainly ate fish using it's long neck. This build was known for being very janky which is to be expected after the Permian Extinction event.

## Abilities

### Long Neck

This build mainly specked into a very long neck that was even longer than it's body and tail. The neck was used by catching unlucky-based prey or fish by the shore.

### Teeth

Tanystropheus has sharp teeth in it's mouth, perfect and effective for grinding up fish and other prey.

## Tier placement

When the Triassic started Tanystropheus was fine and was actually pretty viable. But as the expansion rolled along builds came along and were able to wipe it out. It didn't swim very much, had low mobility, and low power to builds above it's weight class. This build was placed firmly in F tier by the end of the Triassic
Tortoise

Tortoises are a superguild known as Testudinoidea.Normally, this term is used to refer to the entirely terrestrial Turtle mains.The terms "tortoise", "turtle", and "terrapin" are all common names and can have their definitions vary depending on what English is used.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. Next is a Turtle that abandons the aquatic playstyle for a terrestrial one, the Tortoise. Tortoises take the characteristically high and low traits of a Turtle to the absolute extreme. Their Defense is through the roof to the point where blunt force is almost completely useless. It can even block attacks from all types of cats, which are some of the most overpowered builds in the game, nevertheless smaller turtle builds are vulnerable to being picked up and dropped by aerial builds that can utilize the game's physics engine. Their high defense is the reason that these players dominate the high scores for total game time on a single character. This level of Defense comes at a cost, and in this case, it's a severe reduction in Mobility, but even more so a reduction in Intelligence. Because of this, most can't do well as hunters and have to go for the herbivore playstyle, but they still have the same powerful Bite attack that other Turtles do, and they can do a surprising amount of damage to any player who underestimates them.

The Human Meta

## Welcome to Adventure (Years 0-18)

Humans, also known as Homo sapiens and Mankind, are simultaneously the most beloved and hated build in all out Outside™. Ever since they began to use their first basic weapon, the spear, through Crafting and Tool Use, humans have defined the meta. They continued advancements, such as the creation of fire [Reminder, add something about controversy of dev intervention], the creation of the "Gun," or being the only known build to enter the "Space" server. The first 18 years as a human are spent getting an education. This power levels you to the point where you are leagues above builds even 10 times your age. Once you are 18, you can seek further education for a more specialized build, or head out in to the wide world.

## Out of the frying pan... (Years 18+)

[TO DO: Write up something about the pros/cons of a higher education, traveling, etc.]
Vaalbara

Vaalbara scenery

**Vaalbara** is a hypothetical Archean testing place for terrestrial servers added during Paleoarchean or Mesoarchean consisting of the Kaapvaal Craton (now in eastern South Africa) and the Pilbara Craton (now in north-western Australia). The two cratons consist of crust dating from 2.7 to 3.6 Gya, which would make Vaalbara one of Earth's earliest servers.

## Tests for terrestrial life

The Pilbara and Kaapvaal cratons are some of the oldest rocks in the world and they contain well-preserved Archaean microfossils. A series of datamining projects have revealed traces of microbial life and photosynthesis from the Archaean. The oldest widely accepted evidence of photosynthesis by early life forms is molecular fossils found in 2.7 Ga-old shales in the Pilbara Craton. These fossils have been interpreted as traces of eukaryotes and cyanobacteria, though some dataminers argue that these biomarkers must have entered these rocks later and date the fossils to 2.15–1.68 Ga. This later time span agrees with estimates based on molecular clocks which dates the eukaryote last common ancestor at 1866–1679 Ma. If the Pilbara fossils are traces of early eukaryotes, they could represent groups that got removed before modern groups emerged.

## Removal

The server was removed at start of version 0.3 to propably give place for new modern testing places like Ur and signalise that new changes are coming.

## Fun Facts

Name of This Server is deived from four last letters of Pilbara and Kaapvaal cratons

See also: Removed servers list
Thorny Devil

Thorny devils are reptile builds that play on the Australia server.

## Overview

The Thorny Devil's best stat is their defence due to the spines covering their bodies. They also have high stealth due to their skin colour matching their environment. Their mobility is very low and their intelligence isn't amazing. Lastly, their spines give them a good power stat, the thorny devil mainly eats ants.

## Abilities

### Spines

The thorny devil is covered in spines that are used for defense for builds in and above its weight class. If a build does decide to try to swallow the thorny devil it will be near impossible. The spines are also used to absorb water

### Puff Up

The thorny devil can appear to be larger than it actually is by using the puff up ability making it hard for a predator to swallow

### Blood-Shot

Blood-shot is an ability that allows you to use your own HP as an attack. This is really costly as it uses HP to use and the Thorny Devil could go for other abilities.

## Tier placement

C tier. Overall a good lizard build with its spines and puff up ability. The only downfall is their low mobility and builds like the goanna and wild birds like the magpie can grief them and their blood-shot ability isn't the best of abilities.
Zones

The games zones are the the parts of the map distinguished by different types of playstyle based on the surroundings and also the altitude. There are 3 main zones on the earth server which can be further split into subzones:

## Aquatic zone

- Abyss

- Midnight zone

- Twilight zone

- Sunlight zone

- Freshwater

## Land zone

- Underground zone

- Surface land zone

- Mountain zone

## Aerial zone

- Troposphere

- Stratosphere

- Mesosphere

- Thermosphere
The Spawning screen

The spawning screen is where you are spawned certain area will be locked off depending on what build you are.

## Humans

The ones in green are the places where you should probably spawn off but a lot of them are shout off because of population control if that’s the case then you can also go to the yellow area but be aware that there very tough and take a lot of skill to get by just try try to avoid red areas these areas are either really poor, really weak or really dangerous to stay in. The Middle Eastern server is pvp zone and the North Korea server is a private server just be aware that the admins are toxic and you can’t leave the private server once you join unless you are a pro. Many people get a game over when trying to escape from North Korea.

## Marine Builds

Marine Builds spawn in aquatic servers so they don't spawn on the major continents but instead in oceans lakes, ponds and rivers etc. Like on terrestrial servers, conditions can vary as well as they builds that spawn. There is a Starting Region map and a brief description of several places. Keep in mind that there are also the abyssal servers which is region locked. In the abyss, there is also no light, not much naturally spawning loot or many mobility builds. This is also a great place to become a scavenger. You can either spawn in fresh-water or salt water. Salt water regions of the overworld are way more common than fresh-water. Freshwater servers also usually have smaller builds but that is also because of how little freshwater there is. Near the polar regions, you can still play but the ice sheet means that breathing holes are less common if you're playing a marine mammal. This ice sheet is also a nice protection against aerial builds.
Thalattoarchon

Thalattoarchon was a banned Icthyosaur build which emerged very early after The Permian-Triassic Balance Patch.While most Icthyosaur mains went after fish players, this one took a different route, speccing instead into razor-sharp teeth to deal damage to builds its size or greater.

## Tier Placement

S-tier. This build can body any build it wanted to, including the similarly sized Cymbospondylus, thanks to its razor sharp teeth. At 8.6 meters in length, it was also really tanky. The only builds that this build cannot body is the also top-tiered Shastasaurus. And they do this without sacrificing what makes their guild good in the first place.

Tree Frog

Tree frogs are amphibian builds closely related to other frogs. The play on servers worldwide

## Overview

The tree frogs highest stat is their mobility. Unlike other frogs they don't speck into aquatic mobility and instead speck into arboreal mobility. Their attack is pretty low which is true amongst most other frogs same with their HP, defense, and intelligence. Lastly their stealth is not as high as other frogs. They mainly eat plants as tadpoles and insects as adults.

## Abilities and skills

### Clingpads

Similar to geckos tree frogs specked into cling-pads instead of webbed feet. This gives them very good arboreal movement even though they are not very fast compared to other arboreal builds such as monkeys and jaguars.

### Teeth

The Guenther's marsupial frog is the only frog build that specked into teeth. The teeth revolved after being missing for millions of years

### Webbed feet

Some tree frog builds specked into webbed feet along with cling pads which gives them aquatic movement and also gives them resistance towards fall damage. Some of them use it to glide similar to gliding lizards. They also use their webbed feet to better catch insects.

## Weaknesses

### Fall damage

Tree frogs live in arboreal enviornments so if they need to escape the normally just jump down so they take fall damage. The ones who specked into webbed feet take less fall damage though.

### Enviornmental hazards

Similar to most amphibians tree frogs are very prone to enviornmental hazards. The new climate change DLC is putting tree frogs under intense pressure. They also are very vunreble to disease.

## Tier placement

These builds are not viable having low stats, many predators, and vunrability to enviornmental changes. These builds are one of the worst in the frog guild being in low F tier. As for the tree frogs that specked into webbed feet these frogs have it better but still not very good due to the same reasons above plus the fact that they don't really swim with their webbed feet so they are in D tier

Specialised Stats

This page is about those builds with very high stats in a category. This can include more than one category but is only if that they have a high stat depending on the category. Some stats can be affected by other factors for example.

Larger builds have more hp but less stealth.

smaller builds have more stealth but less hp.

resolve can be buffed by the users own intimidation/intelligence.

some abilities can certainly change stats. For example: armour
The Cretaceous Expansion

Ray-traced scenic picture

The Cretaceous Expansion (145 MYA - 66 MYA) was where the dinosaurs' reign was at its peak. However, at the expansion’s end they would be banned from the game. This was the longest period of the Mesezoic era and the most diverse. This is also the expansion where birds and mammals began to diversify, and the first flowering plants were added.

## Notable Builds

### Tyrannosaurus Rex

Tyrannosaurus rex is by far the most well-known dinosaur. There were known for their crazy high damage bite attack and was given the unofficial title as the king of the Dinosaurs.

### Triceratops

Triceratops had the best single-direction defense. Its front facing horns could one- shot any carnivore player that attacked it. However, they were vulnerable to team strategies, and there was nothing they could do against a player who attacked them from behind.

### Troodon

Troodon was one of the few dinosaurs who specced into intelligence as their core strategy. They required a lot of EXP so they couldn't rely on being big. This meant that they had a lower defense and power stat than many of the dinosaurs. This means that if they were forced to engange in PvP, their only method of escape is intimidation or outsmarting the opponent with Troodon's high intelligence and mobility which means that they can set overworld traps.

### Birds

The first 'bird' build was Archaeopteryx which was introduced in the Jurassic period, but birds really came to shine in the Cretaceous period. In the Cretaceous period many more 'bird' builds were introduced like Fukuipteryx. At the end of the Cretaceous, these 'bird' builds were now different enough from dinosaurs that they had a new guild name, birds.

## End

Following the Cretaceous period, the devs finally put an end to the dinosaurs’ reign and gave way for many new builds. Some dinosaurs remained and eventually changed their build so much that they had a new guild name, Birds. The K-Pg extinction patch is probably the most well known extinction patch. The patch involved a giant meteor colliding with the overworld that led to a cascade of other events like earthquakes and tsunamis which alone banned many builds. Then since the spawn rates for plants was reduced, so large herbivores couldn't find enough EXP, and the carnivore players that fed on them couldn't find any EXP either, which led to smaller builds surviving into the Paleogene.
Updates

Throughout Outside's history, the developers have constantly added new expansions, or updates, to the game. Here is a list, and short description, of each update. Everyone is welcome to add more info of updates!

Regular text-written updates are normal or minor updates.

**Bold** updates symbolize more important updates that helped shape the game.

***Bold, italic*** updates symbolize major turning points in the meta and game, and without these updates Outside as we know it would have been drastically different.

## Human Expansion Packs

The dominant build at the time, Humans, have progressed their own exclusive tech tree for quite a long time now, and this table is here to show the expansion packs released to the Humans.

 Classic Wonders
 Medieval Ages
 The Rennisance
 World Wars
Wolf Eel

Wolf Eels are a build known for their horrible aestethics by the playerbase. Despite their name, these builds are not actual eel builds. These builds are also known as wolf fishes, perciform fish builds completely unrelated to the characiform Traira, also known as wolf fish

## Tier Placement

A-tier. Along with the Pufferfish, this build is among the best tankbuster builds available. This build can easily body high Defense builds due to its ability [Hyper Fang] which can easily deal more damage to armor. It also has decent Intelligence. Held back from S-tier by poor matchups against Sharks and Seals

Egg

Eggs are an ability that many animals posses. Their purpose are is to allow new players to spawn by providing them a safe capsule where they can plan their gameplay and customize their character before being spawned into the game. There are several types of eggs:

### Amphibian Eggs

Amphibian eggs have a gelatinous structure and can be laid in the water. The offspring hatch as tadpoles that will slowly develop into adult forms over time.

### Amniotic Eggs

This eggs where developed by amniotes during the carboniferous period. They have strong shell that provides better protection and can be laid on land. The offspring then hatch into baby forms that will develop further over time.

Tank

These are builds that don't focus on scoring eliminations or avoiding predators using mobility but mainly have gone for the might glacier playstyle, slow, large, bulky, and strong. This not required but is the most common. Tanks also have to be good at area denial. They also are in the herbivore faction because they're so large/bulky that they can't sustain themselves with only meat. There are a couple of exceptions though they aren't really talked about.

## Notable Builds

* Hippo
* Elephant
* Hog
* Goose
* Swan
* Screamer
* Vulture
The Arctic

The **Arctic** server is one of the hardest regions to survive in as it is the coldest server in the current meta and to add to the challenge, it also has a low plant spawn/respawn rate and the server area is slowly decreasing due to the shifting climate. The Arctic is a polar region located at the northernmost part of Earth. scarcely populated with builds strong enough to survive the 2nd toughest server in the game, only to the antarctic server.

   Builds in the Arctic server are region-locked meaning when the Arctic sever melts these builds will have no where to go and it's advised that players in this server move to another server if they want to keep their build alive. to do this they must speck into a different variety of camouflage and remove points from dense fur.

## The current Meta

This server is un-viable in the current meta for new players as the server will be banned in an upcoming update and it's advised that players in this server move to another server if they want to keep their build alive. to do this they must speck into a different variety of skills.

## Hazards

Cold, Blizzards, Avalanches, Minimal food sources, Predators, Melting ice caps, Drowning hazard

## Survival

To survive in the Arctic, builds should spend points into dense fur to avoid the passive debuffs given by the environment.

* Land herbivores aren't that useful due to the low plant spawn rate.
* Sea Creatures such as Orcas and Whales thrive in the arctic
* There are a few region locked animals.
	+ Some region-locked animals in the Arctic server include; Polar Bear, Narwhal, Walrus, Muskox , Lynx and some 'nearby' such as Reindeer and Moose.
Sun Bear

The sun bear is a small bear which gets its name from its orange to cream colored, cresent-like patch that resembles the sun. It is playable in the Asia server. They are vulnerable as they have been hunted by Human mains.

## Tier Placement

Sun Bears are generally regarded as being C Tier. Even though they use their great Mobility stat to climb trees, their weakness to the fire type destroys their habitats. Sun Bears are also noted for their low intelligence, attacking the S-tier humans for no reason and getting eliminated in the process. Compared to other bears, their tier placement is similar to the Kemodo bears such as how the Sun Bear specializes in climbing. As the smallest of all bears, they far outclass pandas, but remain weaker than other bears such as grizzly bears and polar bears. As they live in the tropics of Asia, they always face the [Heat] debuff, but their fur prevents much of the damage. However, they have a terrible matchup against humans. In order to be top tier, they must be able to either relocate their home server away from humans, develop a higher fire resistance skill, or develop higher intelligence so they don't attack humans.
Tyrannosaurus Rex

## Tyrannosaurus

Everybody respect the dinosaur species please.

Tyrannosaurus was known as the king of the dinosaurs, also the name of these species means “Tyrant Lizard King”. It had the strongest bite on land ever at over 3 times the bite force of a saltwater crocodile.

## Tier Placement/Overview

Tyrannosaurus Rex is the strongest theropod dinosaur build of all time. It’s immensely large robust body gave it the highest raw strength stat of any terrible carnivore on land ever. But the strongest weapon of this build was it's jaws, which could bite down with pressures up to 12,815 pounds square inch. Enough to crush bones. This could allow them to weaken and slow down it's prey, it's strong teeth could also aid in doing this, as they could cause immense scars. Which could cause immense bleeding. They struggled to take down larger Triceratops and Ankylosaurus, however, nothing was not always an option and they could still take down the majority of their prey by ambush. They we're also very intelligent for a dinosaur, with some studies claiming they had intelligence comparable to a chimpanzee, this would give them a placement of B-A tier. Despite its low speed, Tyrannosaurus was still very agile, meaning that it was able to make sharp turns thanks to its long tail, tall ilia bones (part of the hip), which provided plenty of room for huge leg muscle attachments that gave the power needed for rapid turns and pivots. Tyrannosaurus also had great vision thanks to its foward facing eyes, and a strong sence of smell.

## Weaknesses

Despite their very high power, Tyrannosaurus still had weaknesses, it’s arms were small and could not reach most things that carcharadontosaurids and spinosaurs can reach, though they were very strong able to carry 600 pounds on each arm. It wasn't also very fast, as most could run up to 12 miles per hour. Any faster would cause it to shatter some bones.

### Modern Metagame

D Tier. Even though its BST is continental, it Mobility & Stealth are too subpar to catch modern Tank builds like, Cattle, Elephants, & Rhinoceroses. Its high Intelligence does not help, as the bigger your brain, the more loot you need. It's kept out of F Tier as its overkill bite is able to access Carcesses.
Swell Shark

The Swell Shark is a catshark build playable in kelp beds and algae-covered bottoms. They are playable around the California server and are named for their ability to swell, making them difficult to grief. They also surprisingly specced into bioluminiscence.

## Overview

Being mostly solitary, it has low Intelligence. It also has wide mouth. However, this only equates to moderate Power due to their small teeth. It has low Health due to its small size. However, its swelling gives above-average Defense due to making it harder to swallow. Lastly, it has a deceptively high Stealth stat.

## Moveset

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

**Bloodsense (Passive, Utility)**- Builds with less than 90% HP lose all Stealth bonuses.

**Swell Up (Active, Defense)**- Provides a moderate Defense boost and makes it harder to wedge a player out of crevices.

**Bioflourescence (Active, Utility)**- Allows you to glow in the dark, thus being able to get a Stealth boost and an Intimidation boost.

## Tier Placement

Mid D-tier. On the outside, its active abilities might seem really great for countering griefers. But in practice this did not quite pan out, with them being doomed if a build speccs into having jaws strong enough to negate the Defense boost from [Swell Up] or a build strong enough to pull a player out of crevices. However, [Bioflourescence] is only a liitle bit more practical. While it is still decent against smaller players, it cannot do anything much.

Wildebeest

## Overview

The wildebeest is a build invested mainly in mobility and is found in the African server, mainly in the Serengeti plains. Scientific name: Connochaetes.

## Tier Listing

Wildebeest, or also called gnu land themselves in C tier due to their ability to easily avoid a predator with high mobility which they seem to be investing a lot into and their very stable population but being checked or countered by predators like solo-hunting hyenas. Wildebeest have the ability hypnotic stripes, while not as specialized as the zebra in this department, this still wards off parasitic bugs, preventing certain diseases. Wildebeest are recognized as one of the most popular builds in the meta with about 1.3 million individuals and due to their fairly quick respawn rate. Wildebeest won't usually have to worry about predators like lions and hyenas because they spec mostly into mobility.

As mentioned, wildebeest do have a very quick respawn rate with about 500,000 individuals born per year. However, starting your playthrough can be hard due to being ez xp for a predator, you should be staying with an experienced main at all times while you level up.

Despite these advantages, wildebeests are very light compared to predators and aren't amazing at self defense to the point where a single hyena could take down a healthy adult, although occasionally you may manage to get a hold on your predator using their main form of defense which are horns. While not as powerful as a buffalo, escaping the battle grants a lot of experience points and you'll learn from last time; this is assuming you got very lucky.
Wolverine

Wolverines are the largest terrestrial Mustelid build currently playable. The build is also called as a "carcajou" and resemble small Bear builds more than actual Mustelids.

## Tier Placement

The Wolverine is the strongest of all Mustelids. It is also perhaps the most effective intimidation build in the game. Because while it can deal enough damage to bring down prey on its own, its primarily a scavenger that uses its extreme durability and power to scare more conventional predators away from their own loot. Birds, Wolves, and Panthers all get their kills stolen from Wolverines quite frequently. One Wolverine allegedly even bested a Polar Bear in battle. They also have wide feet that allow them to negate the Mobility reduction caused by deep snow. They also have access to the same Stink Bomb AOE move that the Honey Badgers do. In addition, wolverines have the Intelligence to burry their prey under the snow and dig up later unspoiled and have a special tooth allowing them to crush armour All this combined makes the Wolverine a S tier tundra survivalist class.

Venomous Frogs

Venomous Frogs are a type of frog players that decided that poison is not as good as venom is and specked into venom. They injected venom through headbutting their targets and injecting the venom. They also have higher stealth as they didn't speck into aposematic colours like the poison dart frog. These players also have the same attributes as poison dart frogs. This is enough for them to be placed in to A tier.

### Full Credit Goes To...

LeScraf on Reddit, all credit goes to him for doing the research.

the species is known as greening's frog.they specked into venomous spines.
Yeti crab

The yeti crab (Also called yeti lobster or Kiwa hirsuta) is a build in the crustacean family. It has hair on

its arms. The "hairy" pincers contain filamentous bacteria, which the creature may use to detoxify poisonous minerals from the water emitted by the hydrothermal vents where it lives.

## Refferences

Sperm Whale

The sperm whale is a cetacean playable in the deep sea server. Sperm Whales take on some of the most fierce enemies; the colossal and giant squid. Even though the squid has all it's abilities, the sperm whale wins almost every time. When sperm whales are washed up shore players can see the scratches that the squids makes.

## Abilities

### Echolocation

This allows the user to detect any user directly infront of the player.

### Sonic blast

Type: Offensive

Description: This ability allows the user to stun nearby players, immobilizing them for a short time.
Snapping Turtle

snip snap

## Overview

Snapping Turtles are some of the most well-known turtle builds in the game. This is because of their bite that does crazy high damage. Their bite can crush a human finger's bone! They have a long lifespan which extends to over 100 years like other turtles, although this is not saying much considering it has low intelligence. They are one of the larger turtle builds with its shell reaching up to 75cm and the width of the shell being up to 25cm. On top of that, they weigh about 90kg which makes them pretty much immovable to players in lower weight classes although their armour and bite usually can do that themselves.

## Tier Placement

The Snapping Turtle build (as previously mentioned) is one of the few Turtle builds that can deal massive damage. They break into A tier by opting for a high Power level (again as previously mentioned). They aren't as slow as Tortoises are, but they are not speed demons by any means. So in order to eliminate their targets, they opt for the bait and punish strategy. They have solid Stealth, but what really helps them is their Lure ability. This rare and powerful ability allows the user to disguise themselves as loot. Because they function as ambush predators with great offense but have low to medium mobility, they occupy a similar niche in water as Vipers do on land. And so, they earn the same rating of low A tier.

## Abilities

### Shell Defense

The user hides their in shell to avoid predators.

### Loot Lure

The player disuses themselves with loot waiting for smaller fish players to run into the bait.
Tiger Shark

Tiger Sharks are the largest ground shark builds in the game.They are playable in coral reef servers.

## Species

### Location

Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean

## Tier Placement

S tier. First up, there is the Tiger Shark. Tiger Sharks have higher Stealth than most of the well known Shark builds, and also have uniquely shaped teeth that make them more effective at cutting through armor and bone. Similar to actual Tigers, the main strategy of a Tiger Shark is to get close to it's target with it's high Stealth, and then use a quick burst of speed to snatch it before it can react.

Trilobozoa

This is a phylum of banned, sessile (Don't moving) Marine animals. The body of trilobozoans is a tri-radial or radial sphere-shaped form with lobes coming from its centre.

## Overview

Stats of this phylum are very good in the standards of Ediacaran meta. Members of this Fraction are Sessile and live in deep water biomes. Trilobozoans had a tri-radial shield-like body that had three antimeres which consisted of a cluster of grooves on their outer surface and within their inner cavity.  Most of the members of the Trilobozoa possessed bifurcating concave areas internally that were all separated by sharp ridges.  They developed some resistance and defence.

## Members of Faction

* *Albumares*
* *Anfesta*
* *Gehlingia*(?)
* *Hallidaya*
* *Rugoconites*
* *Skinnera*

Star-nosed Mole

The Star-nosed Mole is a very unique build in the mole class with one of the strangest skins in the game, the Star Nose. Like other Moles they are known for being the biggest griefers of Earthworm players.

## Overview

The Star-nosed mole is a very unique mole build, with its most famous trait being its Star Nose which make the Star-nosed Moles have some of the best feeling abilities in the game, and like it’s relatives they have the ability to swim quickly. They also have huge craws that can be used offensively and defensively killing worms, and defending against its overground competitors, like birds of prey and coyotes. Like most of the builds in its Oder its intelligence and defenses are pretty weak but even more is their HP, this keeps most of them like Shrews to be bottom tier. They also are almost entirely blind but instead of sight it utilizes scent and touch. But the Star-Nosed Mole breaks the mold and opts for a bunch of crazy abilities.

## Abilities And Skills

### Star Nose

A unique ability that can sense microscopic changes in any surface it comes in contact with, negating every stealth ability that any player near it has. This is even better considering that Moles have a great sense of smell.

### Fast Feeding

This allows the Star-nosed mole to eat super fast, the fastest of any mammal.

### Worm Attract

Worms, the Star-nosed moles main source of food is very unintelligent and can be attracted to the pink worm like, nostrils that the Star-nosed Mole has. Leading to a easy win.

### Underwater Smell

Like its relatives, the Star-nosed Mole can smell underwater, giving it a huge advantage to stealth builds.

## Tier Placement

Definitely S Tier in the underground servers as they pretty much rule their territory, because no competition is there. They may be A Tier when overground but are a well rounded and successful build. Being the best of its relatives like Other Moles, Shrews and Hedgehogs.
Thalassodromeus

Thalassosromeus (Sea Runner) was a banned Pterosaur build notable for its head crest accesory which resembles Seth's Crown. It was playable during the Early Cretacous in Brazil. Its skull was more heavily built than that of Tupuxuara and is also one of largest Pterosaur skulls ever found.

## Overview

As a hypercarnivorous Pterosaur build, a running predator build specialized for taking down builds similar in weight class to it, Its Mobility is great, even when on land. Its Health is nothing to scoff at either, and its Power stat is really great, comparable to Azdarchids larger than this build. Because of Pterosaurs' adaptation to flight, they have to specc into [Hollow Bones], which significantly lowers Defense and a larger brain, thus providing higher Intelligence.

## Moveset

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

**Concave Jaw (Passive, Attack)-** Allows you to swallow larger players. Also improves effectiveness of bite attacks.

## Tier Placement

Overall, a very powerful terrestrial stalker capable of digesting even larger targets than Azdarchids its size, this build is perfectly capable of holding its own in the Brazillian Cretacous Server. It has a good combination of stats and easily deserves to be an S-tier in its meta.

Thrash

A seal player using thrash to deal damage to a blue penguin player

Thrash can be used either as an attacking move or a move to escape from a grab. As an attacking move, it should only be used against relatively light opponents, as you need to thrash hard to deal damage. As a grab escape, it should be used regardless of weight, but if the opponent is too strong, your attempts may fail. Thrash has very little end lag and can be performed continuously as long as you can handle the shaking motion.
Spur-Winged Goose

The Spur-Winged Goose (*Plectopterus gambensis)* is a large Fowl build playable in the African wetland servers. They are some of the largest waterfowl builds in the game, with some male players weighing more than 10 kg. It is also one of the few Bird mainscto specc into the [Poison] skill tree.

## Overview

Like all Fowl builds, this one is solitary, giving it a good Intelligence stat. It has a good Health stat, spurs that can be good for high Power, even though they usually use it in fights against other waterfowl. and among the highest Mobility stats among Fowl builds. Lastly, it has high Defense from speccing into Poison.

## Moveset

**Fowl Balls (Passive, Intimidation)**- Extremely high resistance to Intimidation.

**Fowl Play (Passive, Intimidation)**- Intimidation scales with opponent's weight class.

**Poison Resistance (Passive, Support)**- Allows you to survive poisoning and also allows users to gain the ability to poison from loot.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. Like Swans, these builds have spurs that allow them to fight off potential predators. Although they lack in Health, they make it up with high Mobility. This allows them to fend off most predators well, as in its server, there are some of the most powerful predator builds in the game. The ones in the Gambian server take this a step further and enter-S-tier status due to the potent venom (10 mg can deal enough damage to kill a Human). Unlike Poison Dart Frogs, these builds have enough HP to make use of their venom effectively.
