Vlambeer

The **Vlambeer** is the eighth bear. Like all endangered animals it can only be found on random days, meaning that it can only be found on certain random days. Its match can be found on random days after the player tames it.

## Appearance

The Vlambeer is completely black, with only its eyes being coloured otherwise (white). It has a pixelated aura of yellow flames flashing out of it, flickering wildly. The flames also have a red layer and two translucent red layers around the yellow area.

	+ Ride past 800m in Mountains.
* After it is matched it can be found permanently in the stampede.

**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 800m.

## Baby Vlambeer

* Eating animals is 10% more effective
* *Rare animals appear 1% more often (passive)*

## Trivia

* The Vlambeer references Vlambeer, a Dutch independent mobile game developer. "Vlambeer", when translated from Dutch, means 'flame bear', which is reflected in the logo.

Surfer Manta

The **Surfer Manta** is the eighth manta ray in the game. It was first released as a part of the The Stampede.

## Appearance

The Surfer Manta is identical to the Manta Ray, albeit instead of a plain body, it wears an orange saddle that covers the middle part of its body. The saddle has a large, white "8" embedded on its sides, with a dark brown outline. The Surfer Manta wears white and purple bands on its pectoral fins (side fins, like arms, unlike most other ocean animals who have dorsal fin bands). On its cephalic fins (near the mouth) it also has the same white and purple coloured halters. At its side ends is a grey hinge that connects to a purple rein (rope) which loops back on the Surfer Manta's neck.

## Description

*One of the widest sentient surf board! Great for gliding above oceanic ranges.*

## Requirements

* Ocean Zoo unlocked.
* Manta Ray tamed.
* Purchase for 30 in the PvP store in The Stampede.
* Once obtained, ride past 1500m in Ocean.

**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 1500m.

## Trivia

* The Surfer Manta is a play on a surfboard, and compares it to a manta ray's large size.

## Notes

* The Surfer Manta was released in version 2.15.0 on the 17th of February 2023, as a part of the The Stampede Season 2.
* The Surfer Manta has multiple errors in its description where there should be a comma after "widest", and "surf board" should be connected as it is a compound word, and "surf board" should be pluralised.

Water Dragon

The **Water Dragon** is the sixth Chinese dragon in order in the zoo. It is a secret animal, meaning that the player has to complete a secret mission to see and tame it.

## Appearance

The Water Dragon has the same base appearance as the Chinese Dragon, although it is predominantly bright green or aqua in colour. The Water Dragon has several additions that suit its aquatic nature, with a dark green tailfin, fish-like in appearance, webbed, fin like ears, with green bones and a beige membrane, and webbed claws. Lined up the whole way down its body is a row of dark green spikes, each curving slightly backwards. Its jaw, teeth and whiskers are coloured a ghostly cyan, while protruding from its mouth is a forked red tongue. The Water Dragon also has red eyes.

## Requirements

* Great Wall 1 unlocked.
* Chinese Dragon tamed.
* Ride a single monkey for 24 seconds in Great Wall.
	+ The player must restart the 24 seconds if they crash before completing it.
	+ A tip is to use a baby animal that either boosts riding speed, to reach obstacles faster and prevent the monkey from getting angry earlier, or makes animals get angry slower, allowing the monkey to get to the obstacle before it gets angry.
		- Some good options are the Baby Bufferrari and Baby Skyunk which are both relatively easy to get and employ both attributes, increasing riding speed highly.

**Note:** Due to it being a secret animal, it will appear **every time** the player completes the above requirements.

## Baby Water Dragon

* Missions give 15% more coins
* Animals are 15% faster in water

## Trivia

* The Water Dragon is a reference to Jiaolong of Chinese mythology. "Water Dragon" is a generic, rough translation of "Jiaolong".
	+ This is supported by the Chinese name in-game (蛟龙), and its Chinese description, which translates to "Said to be a dragon but is also not a dragon. If there is a flood, go and ask the dragon about it."
	+ The Baby Water Dragon's ability where animals are 15% faster in water references to how it's related to water.
* The game drops a hint about how to get the Water Dragon. Every now and then, the message "Monkeys love to throw you off, but how long could you hold on to one for?" will appear, however it would no longer appear once the player has tamed the Water Dragon.
* There is a popular myth that the Water Dragon can be discovered by vaulting 12 times on a single monkey.
	+ This can be proven to be time based.
	+ The myth can be proven true as long as you vault once every 2 seconds.

## Notes

* The Water Dragon was released in version 1.22.0 on the 28th of January 2019 along with Great Wall and the first five Great Wall species.
* The Water Dragon is one of many animals that has bugged textures, in this case, the inside edges of its eyes.

## Appearance

The Stormy Kirin notably has a jagged bright cyan/mint green mane and beard, featuring prominent spikes. Its feet and tail are also coated in similarly coloured fur, its tail fur being especially long. Its body is covered in dark grey scales, a distinct contrast from its furry features. Antlers resembling lightning bolts dart from its head, coloured white, which is also the colour of its mouth and whiskers.

## Requirements

* Kirin tamed.
* Kirin habitat upgraded to level 5 or higher.
* Ride past 1800m in Great Wall (found sitting on a cloud off the side of the stampede).

## Baby Stormy Kirin

* Rare animals appear 8% more often
* *Lasso starts 1% larger (passive)*

## Trivia

* The Stormy Kirin's description relates directly to the storm theme of the animal, in the pun "shockingly".

## Notes

Smelliphant

The **Smelliphant** is the former fourth type of elephant in the game, only available in the soft launch beta.

## Appearance

The Smelliphant is very similar to the Psychedelephant. However, there are some differences. Instead of the Psychedelephant's colourful gradient, the body is a dull-brownish color, with multi-coloured pastel-tone flower patterns all over it. It also seems to lack the peace symbol on its forehead.

## Description

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

## Requirements

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

**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 1000mm.

## Trivia

* The Smelliphant is basically an early version of the Psychedelephant, being very similar in appearance and theme. The description is also the same as the Psychedelephant's.
	+ Its appearance likely relates to the nice smell of flowers.

## Notes

* The Smelliphant was added in the soft launch of the game, namely version 0.1.0. It was replaced by the Psychadeliphant in version 0.2.0.
* The Smelliphant did not give XP due to being available only before the release of hats.
T-Hex

The **T-Hex** is the fifth tyrannosaurus rex in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their tyrannosaurus rex habitat to level 2 or higher.

## Appearance

The T-Hex resembles the Tyrannosaurus Rex, albeit coloured midnight blue fading to a lighter shade on its snout and limbs. The T-Hex also has a gold chain on its neck, a black witches' hat and a black cloak. Held between its arms is a brown broom with beige-coloured straw on the end.

* Tyrannosaurus Rex tamed.
* Tyrannosaurus rex habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 1600m in Jurassic (must be riding an animal slower than a wild tyrannosaurus rex).

## Trivia

* The T-Hex's name is a portmanteau of the words "T-Rex" and "hex".
* The T-Hex's description references its small arms, an iconic characteristic of all tyrannosaurus rexes, and its own name, with the word "hex" being a synonym for the word "curse".

## Notes

* The T-Hex was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
* The Baby T-Hex appears to wear a navy blue hat and cloak on the screen where it hatches, but these appear pitch black when seen in the Space Zoo.
Threenix

The **Threenix** is the sixth phoenix. It is a secret animal, requiring the player to complete a secret mission to befriend.

## Appearance

The Threenix has a similar shape to the Phoenix, however, it most noticeably has the addition of two heads branching out from its body, just to the side of its original head. The Threenix's main colour scheme is reddish-orange and dark magenta, with dark magenta making up a circle originating from the centre of its back, which fades into the reddish orange. Each of the spikes on its head and its beaks are also coloured magenta, with reddish-orange making up the rest of its body.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Olympus 3 or greater.
* Eat three phoenixes with griffins in one run.
	+ The player is recommended to wait and allow the griffin to fly up so as to avoid being at ground level when a phoenix does appear on the screen.
	+ The player can use multiple griffins in one run to do this, as well as use a continue/revive.

**Note:** Due to it being a secret animal, it will appear **every time** the player completes the above requirements.

## Baby Threenix

* Flying animals swoop 5% slower
* Fire burns 20% slower

## Trivia

* The Threenix is a rhyming play on 'phoenix', with 'three' and 'phoe-' rhyming.
	+ The Threenix may also be a subsequent play on another secret bird, the Threecan.
	+ The description carries on the three theme, playing on the saying "two heads are better than one".
	+ The secret mission also plays on the three theme, with three phoenixes being required to be eaten.

## Notes

* The Threenix was released on the 18th of August 2017 in version 1.10.0 along with Olympus and the first five Olympus species.
* The Threenix's XP changed in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March. The original XP value was 12.
Species: Trout

**Trout** are the seventh species of animal available in the Ocean Zoo. Trout are darting animals. There are 7 different types of trout.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Trout move relatively slowly.
* **When ridden:** Trout move at a fast pace (however, slower than most other Ocean species), slightly wobbling.
* **When angry:** Trout dart forward every 0.5 seconds.
* **In habitat:** Trout swim around, and hop once from time to time.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Trout spin around themselves one time.

## Tips

Trouts are ubiquitous above 2000m, and their darting ability can be used to get to the next oxygen bubble faster. Their level 3 upgrade allows them to be easier to control when angry. However, at level 7, angry trouts sacrifice some speed in exchange for more control, which, while, it's easier to avoid obstacles, it is harder to get to the next oxygen bubble faster.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Ride for an extra 1.5s before a trout gets angry
* **Level 2** - Get bonus coins for riding a darting trout
* **Level 3** - Trouts are easier to steer while darting
* **Level 4** - Takes 10% less time for the Ocean zone to recharge
* **Level 5** - Gain 50% more ticket money from trouts
* **Level 6** - Ride for an extra 1.5s before a trout gets angry
* **Level 7** - Angry trouts dart slower
* **Level 8** - Oxygen depletes 5% slower
* **Level 9** - 2x more rare trouts in the stampede

## Trivia

* Upon release, all trout did not have a swimming animation when in their habitat.
	+ This was fixed in version 2.16.0.

## Notes

* Trout were released in version 2.8.0 on the 19th of September 2022.
T-Flex

The **T-Flex** is the sixth tyrannosaurus rex that can be found. It is a secret animal.

## Appearance

The T-Flex is a red base coloured version of the Tyrannosaurus Rex with the bottom of the whole body being an orange and yellow fade. The T-Flex dons a black headband on the very top if its head. It also holds two metallic blue dumbbells (one in each arm) and a white singlet covering the body from the arms to its midsection.

## Description

*Never skips leg day. A pity it skipped arm day.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 2 or greater.
* Tyrannosaurus Rex tamed.
* Collect 5 eggs in one run in Jurassic (must be riding an animal slower than a wild tyrannosaurus rex).
	+ The T-Flex will not appear if there is another tyrannosaurus rex on the screen or spawning behind the player.

**Note:** Due to it being a secret animal, it will appear **every time** the player completes the above requirements.

## Baby T-Flex

* Jump from animals 6% faster
* Rare animals appear 6% more often

## Trivia

* The T-Flex is a play on flexing, meaning working muscles. This is also reflected in the appearance and description.
	+ The description plays on a real life tyrannosaurus rex's short arms and leg strength.
* The game drops a hint every now and then on how to get the T-Flex. The hint is "Grabbing a lot of eggs might anger a certain Tyrannosaurus Rex".

## Notes

* The T-Flex was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
* The T-Flex's XP changed in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March. The original XP value was 12.
Species: Shark

**Sharks** are the eleventh species of animal available in the Ocean Zoo. Sharks are eating animals. There are 8 different types of shark.

* **When ridden:** Sharks move at a fast pace, being able to eat most animals. After upgrading, they can smash coral (level 8) and eat other sharks (level 7).
* **When angry:** Sharks slow down and flick the player up in the air, before swallowing them whole.
* **In habitat:** Sharks swim around, and hop once from time to time.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Sharks rear up slightly and chomp once, before nodding their head slightly.

## Tips

Sharks are the primary eating animal in the Ocean, and after being fully upgraded, are very useful for getting through short bursts in the stampede while being invincible to most obstacles. However, even fully maxed sharks cannot eat blue whales.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more sharks in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Increased riding speed on sharks
* **Level 3** - Get bonus coins for eating other animals on sharks

The **TIME LOCKER DOG** is the seventh wolf in the stampede, requiring the player to upgrade the wolf habitat to level 9 to unlock.

## Appearance

The TIME LOCKER DOG is coloured bright lime green with a polygon style body. It has four small legs, and a small sharp tail. Its ears are made up of pyramids. What sets it apart from other wolves is how it is much smaller in size compared to all others. Finally, it notably does not possess any eyes or a mouth.

## Description

*A visitor from another game - check it out on the store!*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Mountains 2 or greater.
* Gray Wolf tamed.
* Wolf habitat upgraded to level 9.
* Ride past 1500m in Mountains.

**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 1500m.

## Baby TIME LOCKER DOG

* Missions give 15% more coins
* Taming animals is 12% quicker

## Trivia

* The TIME LOCKER DOG is a feature character from the game TIME LOCKER, along with the TIME LOCKER BEAR, which it is the sidekick of.
* When the TIME LOCKER DOG crashes, it will have no effect on the animal itself, staying still even as it hits the obstacle/animal.

## Notes

* The TIME LOCKER DOG was released on the 8th of September 2016 in version 1.2.0, along with all other Savannah, Jungle and Mountains level 9 animals.
Taming and Lassoing

## Taming

New animals can be tamed by riding them for a certain period of time. Directly after taming them, the player must take a photo of them riding the animal in a photo menu. Then, the player must name the animal. Afterwards, the player promptly returns to the stampede to continue riding and taming animals. It is possible can go back to the photo menu manually through a purple button in the pause menu, where it is also possible to rename the animal. Once tamed, the animal will go in either the Sky Zoo, the Space Zoo or the Ocean Zoo, depending on what zone it is from, and generate income during cruises.

There are generally 8 to 12 animals of each species to tame. A few can be spawned through completing hidden missions in the stampede (see secret animals here), or upgrading the respective animal habitat to level 9. Others can be bought during special limited time events, and some can be bought with real money from the store.

Since all animals become angry when riding them, they can be difficult to tame. Buffalo, boars, goats and the like will generally become angry during taming. Because some animals will launch you forward when angry, they will not do this before they are tamed. Lions, tigers, and other eating animals can eat the player before they have been tamed, so players should upgrade their habitats so that eating other animals keeps them happy for longer.

## Lassoing

To move from one animal to the next, lift your finger up off the screen to jump off your current animal. How far you travel forward depends on your speed while you were riding the previous animal. Hold your finger down when you are hovering over an animal you want to ride to lasso it and ride it. The animal that you can currently lasso will be gold in colour. Each jump decreases lasso size by **5%**, however certain animal habitats can be upgraded to not decrease lasso size when landing on that animal.

Taming or lassoing wild animals gets you XP, which can be seen by a small blue hat icon appearing upon landing. Rarer animals are worth more XP, while Base animals earn no XP, meaning that the hat icon does not appear. When you get a certain amount of XP on a single species of animal, you will advance an XP level on that animal species. The levels are advanced like this: Novice to Wrangler to Champion to Master. When you advance, a random clothing item (Hat) will be unlocked for the player to wear.
The Love of our Fans

The **The Love of our Fans** is a limited time event in the game that lasted from the 10th of May 2023 to the 30th of May 2023.

## About

The gameplay format requires the player to complete missions to finish a puzzle consisting of 42 pieces. The player is able to watch an ad to add 2 more missions, and an ad to change the available missions. Milestones at collecting 14, 28, and 42 pieces gave the Clown Ant-eater, the Vermillion Phoenix, and the Elegon respectively.

Species: Hippo

**Hippos** are the eleventh animal species available to the player. Hippos are charging animals. There are 9 different types of hippo that can be tamed. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Jungle 2.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Hippos move slowly in a forward direction.
* **When ridden:** Hippos charge forward as soon as they’re lassoed (level 5 habitat required), and are able to smash trees and rocks (at level 6). When in water, hippos charge and the player can ride them for longer.
* **When angry:** Hippos slow down, buck the player up and sit on them.
* **In habitat:** They graze the ground, occasionally wagging their small tail.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They wiggle around like jelly and open their mouth very wide, showing their teeth.

## Tips

Hippos are difficult to tame in the first place, with it being recommended to move in as straight a line as possible and only move to avoid contact with other animals or to make contact with water, to extend the length in which the player can ride the hippo for. Hippo charges can smash trees and any other Jungle animals, and can also smash rocks when the habitat is upgraded to level 6. The reason for hippos being underrated is that once the player passes around 3000m, water patches are closer together, and play speeds up so that in the same amount of time, a hippo is able to travel further, maximising the chance of reaching the next patch of water. In addition, every time a hippo enters water, they charge for a short amount of time, making them invincible. This means that it is unlikely for the player to die, and consequently they can get a high score (10000m plus) with ease. However, hippos make bad starting animals outside of the jungle due to low amount of water in other areas.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more hippos in the stampede
* **Level 2** - After leaving the water, hippos energy lasts 30% longer
* **Level 3** - Longer charges when a hippo has full energy
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from hippos
* **Level 5** - Starts with enough energy to charge
* **Level 6** - Charging hippos can now smash rocks
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins while in the water on a hippo
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare hippos in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Hippo to the stampede (Taweret)

## Notes

* Hippos 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 2 habitat upgrade has a punctuation error in that "hippos" lacks an apostrophe after the 's'.
* The distance which hippos were found changed from past 1000m to past 0m in update 1.7.0 on the 23rd of March 2017.
* In the soft launch, hippos were unable to smash rocks at any level, with the level 6 upgrade allowing the player to smash trees.
Species: Eel

**Eels** are the tenth species of animal available in the Ocean zone. Eels are wobbling animals. There are 8 different types of eels.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Eels move relatively slowly.
* **When ridden:** Eels move at a faster pace, being able to bump small fish if the player has upgraded their eel habitat to level 4.
* **When angry:** Eels, exactly like hydras, speed up slightly, and their side-to-side swimming movement becomes gradually wider, making it very difficult for the player to steer and determine their jump direction.
* **In habitat:** Eels swim around and look side to side from time to time.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Eels spin rapidly twice on the spot in an anti-clockwise motion.

## Tips

Eels offer good agility when not angry. They have a lot of weaknesses though, being very prone to crashing due to their side-to-side motion and not being able to bump into many animals in the Ocean. When angry, they become virtually uncontrollable and impossible to jump off without dying or latching onto another animal luckily.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Ride for an extra 1.5s before an eel gets angry
* **Level 2** - Get bonus coins while travelling at top speed on eels
* **Level 3** - 2x more eels in the stampede
* **Level 4** - Allows eels to bump into small fish without crashing
* **Level 5** - Gain 50% more ticket money from eels
* **Level 6** - Oxygen depletes 5% slower
* **Level 7** - Ride for an extra 1s before an eel gets angry
* **Level 8** - Eels wobble less when angry
* **Level 9** - 2x more rare eels in the stampede

## Trivia

* Eels, giraffes and manta rays are the only animals that don’t make a sound when ridden.

## Notes

* Eels were released in version 2.16.0 on the 16th of March 2023.
Skeleton Shark

The **Skeleton Shark** is the seventh shark in the game. It was first released as a part of the 2022 Halloween Event.

## Appearance

The Skeleton Shark is a dark grey shark with a white underbelly and has yellow stripes all over it. Its top fin is scarred, and its tail (all of it until the tip of the tail) is completely made of white bone.

## Requirements

* Ocean Zoo unlocked.
* Shark tamed.
* Obtain in events:
	+ Purchase for 130 in the 2022 Halloween Event.
	+ Purchase for 130 in the Dreamy Trip Season 13.

	+ Purchase for 200 in the Badge Shop.
		- Skeleton Shark is tamed immediately upon purchase.
* Once obtained, ride past 1500m in Ocean.

**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 1500m.

## Trivia

* The Skeleton Shark's description is a joke of how scars are notable damaged areas of a body, yet the Skeleton Shark is a literal skeleton, making it a very notable damaged area.
	+ The description also plays on how sharks are lethal predators, and usually have battle scars on their bodies.

## Notes

* The Skeleton Shark was released in version 2.10.0 on the 22nd of October 2022, as a part of the 2022 Halloween Event.
* Upon release, its description was missing a period at the end.
Winter Holiday Event 2016

The **2016 Winter Holiday Event** was a limited time event in the game that occurred from the 14th of December 2016 to the 25th of January 2017.

## About

This event 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.

In the sub-zone, the player had to ride many types of reindeer with many 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. Once the player reached a milestone, the presents would be subtracted from the player's total amount, for example, if the player had 24 in a run and only required 15, in the next run, after receiving the Santa Hat, they would have 9 left over.

Additionally, there were added Christmas decorations and Christmas-themed music in the Sky Zoo.

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

## Hats

 Mrs. Claus | 45 (60)
 Santa | 80 (140)
 Snowman | 160 (300)
 Penguin Suit | 350 (650)
 Reindeer Suit | 450 (1100)
Womcat

The **Womcat** is the third wombat in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Womcat is effectively a recolour of the Wombat, with the addition of three large, white whiskers on both sides of its nose. The nose itself is coloured pink, as is its ears, tail, and arbitrary patches of colour on its otherwise silvery off-white body. Its face is coloured a chocolate brown with a silvery white streak, the same colour as parts of its body, down the centre of its face that ends at its nose.

## Description

*Too proud to chase mice, too bored to play, too hungry to rest and too lazy to care. Dig it.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 2 or greater.
* Wombat tamed.
* Ride past 1100m in Outback.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is medium due to it being a tier 3 animal. It will appear in just over half the runs the player does, and never before 1100m.

## Baby Womcat

* Jump from animals 7% faster
* Jump from animals 7% higher

## Trivia

* The name "Womcat" is a portmanteau of the words "wombat" and "cat".
	+ The description references this in many ways, as cats are known to chase mice, and they are also often portrayed as lazy and bored.
	+ The Womcat is one of three animals which reference a cat, the others being the Feline'o and Prowler.
* Like many other wombat descriptions, the Womcat's description acknowledges a wombat's digging skill.
* The Womcat's abilities regarding jumping is a reference to a cat's amazing proficiency at jumping.

## Notes

* The Womcat was released in version 1.3.0 on the 13th of October 2016 along with Outback and all other Outback species.
Oarfish

The **Oarfish** is the fourth eel that the player can find in the game.

## Appearance

The Oarfish is designed to resemble a typical oarfish. It is mostly grey, with grey spots all over its body, and a long orange fin on its back. It also has barbels under its body.

## Description

*Reaching 10m in length, this wonderful creature is the origin of many tales on sea serpents.*

## Requirements

* Ocean Zoo unlocked.
* Eel tamed.
* Ride past 1500m in Ocean.

**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 1500m.

## Baby Oarfish

* Lasso shrinks 10% slower
* Jump from animals 10% higher

## Trivia

* The Oarfish is based on a real-life oarfish in appearance and description.
	+ In real life, oarfish are more closely related to knifefish than to actual eels.
* The Baby Oarfish's abilities all boosting attributes by 10% relates to an oarfish's length which is 10m, also alluded to in the description.

## Notes

* The Oarfish was released in version 2.16.0 on the 16th of March 2023 along with all other eels.
Sparkosaurus

The **Sparkosaurus** is the eighth stegosaurus in zoo order. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their stegosaurus habitat to level 9.

## Appearance

The Sparkosaurus has a light, electric blue body which fades into a slightly lighter cyan shade of blue near at the bottom. The Sparkosaurus has a meter, with visible increamnts and a longer red needle, and a knob on each side of its torso. On its back are various components of electricity, including propped-up wires and three dimensional octagons with nodes connecting two rows of red wires running the full length of the Sparkosaurus' body. White light with a light blue tinge flickers down the red cables in-game, starting from its tail and moving its way quickly to its front, before dissipating.

## Description

*Commonly used to power most Jurassic home appliances. Shockingly long battery life.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 6 or greater.
* Stegosaurus tamed.
* Stegosaurus habitat upgraded to level 9.
* Ride past 2200m 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 2200m.

## Baby Sparkosaurus

* Jump from animals 15% higher
* *Lasso shrinks 1% slower (passive)*

## Trivia

* The Sparkosaurus is a play on sparks, with the name being a portmanteau of 'spark' and 'stegosaurus'.
	+ The description plays on the lack of power during prehistoric times, and contains a pun on electricity: "shockingly".

## Notes

* The Sparkosaurus was released on the 22nd of June 2017 in version 1.9.0 along with all other stegosauruses.
* The Baby Sparkosaurus's abilities appeared to be a mistake, due to rarer animals being stated in-game to have better sidekick abilites, and the Baby Sparkosaurus' abilities not being very strong, despite the Sparkosaurus being the rarest stegosaurus. Comparatively, the Baby Stegosaurus had much better abilities, which suggested that the two abilities were likely to have been switched.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March. The previous abilities were "Animals get angry 5% slower" and "Lasso shrinks 1% slower".
* The description contained a minor error in that the 'J' in "Jurassic" was not capitalised, which was incorrect.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
* For a period of time, the Sparkosaurus was bugged so that it would appear purple in the habitat, identically to the Stegosaurus. This occurred when the player moved too far away from the Sparkosaurus in the zoo so that it un-loaded. Then, when they returned, it reloaded, however with the Stegosaurus' skin texture.
Thesaurus

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

## Appearance

The Thesaurus uses the appearance of the Stegosaurus as a base to add features. Its head, tail and limbs are coloured a yellowish-green, and it wears black thick-rimmed glasses and a red bow tie. Comprising most of its body is a thick, nondescript, dark green book with a black top edge and a yellow border. In place of regular plates are yellow sticky notes in two loose "rows". There are a few more sticky notes on its tail.

## Description

*Wants to be your friend, companion, pal, mate, buddy, partner, …*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 5 or greater.
* Stegosaurus tamed.
* Stegosaurus habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 1800m in Jurassic.

**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 1800m.

## Baby Thesaurus

* Animals get angry 5% slower
* Missions give 10% more coins

## Trivia

* The Thesaurus references a thesaurus, a book that lists words with similar meaning to each other.
	+ The Thesaurus' description references the purpose of a thesaurus; to provide similar words to a given word.
* Whether coincidental or not, the Thesaurus incorporates many elements from a stereotypical bookworm.

## Notes

* The Thesaurus was released on the 22nd of June 2017 in version 1.9.0 along with all other stegosauruses.
* One of the Baby Thesaurus' abilities, along with most of the remaining stegosauruses', changed in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March. The original ability was "Bucks are 5% smaller".
Species: Moose

**Moose** are the twenty-first animal species that the player unlocks in the game. Moose are primarily charging animals, but are also speeding animals. There are 12 different types of moose. All moose can only be found from 1000m onwards, and can be unlocked from Mountains 5.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Moose trot in a forward direction.
* **When ridden:** Moose trot at a faster rate, beginning with their head down, antlers prided forwards and dash lines around the antlers. If an animal or obstacle is hit, the moose immediately slows down to the original trotting pace and moves its head back up to the normal position. After 5 seconds the moose recharges its smash ability and returns to its attack position (head down). If the moose "attack position" is still on cooldown upon collision with an obstacle, the normal crash occurs.
* **When angry:** Moose accelerate rapidly, but still return to the original slow pace when an obstacle or animal is smashed when in the attack position before immediately speeding up more rapidly.
* **In habitat:** They walk around, grazing the ground.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They wiggle their body like jelly from their legs.

## Tips

Moose are a good all-round animal. They are good for a short distance run due to their ability to be invulnerable which lasts until something is hit. The ability does return after a short amount of time but on an angry moose it is unlikely that it will recharge in time to be able to survive if an obstacle or animal is hit. Moose do also provide a cash bonus when smashing crates, with crates being worth 3x more (level 3), but more importantly, do not reduce the player's lasso size when the player lands on one, making them excellent for long runs too when the player utilises this and the above smashing ability as a safety mechanism.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more moose in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Jump further from moose
* **Level 3** - While riding a moose, crates are worth 3x more
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from moose
* **Level 5** - Jumping from a moose temporarily increases lasso size by 10%
* **Level 6** - Landing on a moose doesn't reduce your lasso size
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins for smashing things on a moose
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare moose in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Moose to the stampede (Chocolate Mousse)

## Notes

* Moose were released in version 1.1.0 on the 26th of July 2016 along with Mountains and all other Mountains species.
* The level 6 habitat upgrade contained a spelling error in that "doesnt" is missing an apostrophe.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March.
Vampire Bat

The **Vampire Bat** is the fourth flying fox that can be found in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Vampire Bat has a similar main structure to the Flying Fox, however, its body and wing frame is coloured black, and its wings incorporate a white to red gradient. Two pointy white downwards-facing fangs protrude from its mouth, and yellow lines the side faces of its eyes, rather than the usual white. A popped up collar, red on the inside and black on the outside, extends from just behind its head.

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 5 or greater.
* Flying Fox 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 Vampire Bat

* Taming animals is 15% quicker
* *Lasso shrinks 1% slower (passive)*

## Trivia

* The Vampire Bat is a play on real life vampire bats, however its appearance plays more so on vampires and vampire bats in pop culture.
	+ The description is a pun on both how vampire bats feed on blood by sucking and how the expression "it sucks" is used to express dislike for something. The Vampire Bat does not "suck" in the way of being bad.

## Notes

* The Vampire Bat was released in version 1.3.0 on the 13th of October 2016 along with Outback and all other Outback species.
Spider

The **Spider** is the first spider that the player can find in Garden.

## Appearance

The Spider is completely black, although it is light enough for features to be visible. It has a set of jaws which is comprised of two pointy, downward-facing parts and two parts which are like short arms. It has eight legs, each with a small amount of patterning around the joints, and six eyes shrinking in size away from the centre. Its body is made up of two main segments: its head and its abdomen, both of which have lighter texturing on top. The Spider's abdomen ends in a white point.

## Description

*Voted least popular bug 2017. And 2016. And 2015. And 2014. And...*

## Requirements

* Garden 1 unlocked.
* Ride in Garden (must run through web on ground-level animal and be riding an animal slower than a wild spider).

## Trivia

* The Spider is not based on a specific spider, hence the description referring to spiders in general being considered as frightening, dangerous and unsightly.
* The Spider's predatory behaviour in-game and in real life is reflected in the Baby Spider's ability.

## Notes

* The Spider was released in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018 along with Garden and the first five Garden species.
Species: Octopus

**Octopuses** are the ninth species of animal available in the Ocean zone. Octopuses are vaulting animals. There are 8 different types of octopuses.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Octopuses move relatively slowly and vault over coral and rocks.
* **When ridden:** Octopuses move at a faster pace, vaulting over coral, and rocks if the player has upgraded their octopus habitat to level 3.
* **When angry:** Octopuses throw the player off with their tentacles.
* **In habitat:** Octopuses swim around, and hop once from time to time.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Octopuses jump and twirl around in a circle.

## Tips

Octopuses, like manta rays and dolphins, can be used to avoid the stampede, by vaulting over coral and rocks. However, this comes at a cost. Octopuses cannot smash anything, so the player can also crash on one mid-air. They also share the same weaknesses as manta rays and dolphins, being that they can miss oxygen bubbles. Octopuses do not have the same oxygen bonus that manta rays and dolphins do, so octopuses must be ridden carefully.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more octopuses in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Ride for an extra 1s before an octopus gets angry
* **Level 3** - Allows an octopus to vault over rocks
* **Level 4** - Landing on an octopus does not reduce your lasso size
* **Level 5** - Gain 50% more ticket money from octopuses
* **Level 6** - Better steering while gliding down on octopuses
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins by vaulting on octopuses
* **Level 8** - While you are in the air, octopuses move towards your lasso
* **Level 9** - 1x more rare octopuses in the stampede

## Notes

* Octopuses were released in version 2.14.0 on the 14th of January 2023.
* The level 9 octopus habitat upgrade is an error, with its effect being trivial.
* Upon release, the level 7 octopus upgrade did not give coins when the ridden octopus vaults over an obstacle.
Species: Pillbug

**Pillbugs** are the fourth species of animal available in the Garden island, and the twenty-first in the Space Zoo. Pillbugs are speeding animals. There are 8 different types of pillbug. Like all Space Zoo animals, more pillbugs are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the pillbug habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Garden 2.

## Pillbugs

**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:** Pillbugs plod along mostly alone in the stampede, moving at a very slow pace.
* **When ridden:** Pillbugs continue scuttling along, this time at a faster pace.
* **When angry:** Pillbugs jump up, wrap themselves into a ball and roll forwards, taking the shape of whichever object they are based on (e.g. Sushi Bug, a sushi roll). They accelerate faster and faster when angry and have poor steering, until upgraded to level 4.
* **In habitat:** Pillbugs scuttle awkwardly, occasionally having a look from side to side.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Pillbugs move their body from side to side.

## Tips

Pillbugs are okay animals to use, being serviceable with their abilities such as being able to smash things that the player crashes into when angry (level 6), which makes the player more inclined to use pillbugs for longer. They offer stability when not angry, and can act like a running animal, like an ostrich when angry.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Ride for an extra 1.5s before a pillbug gets angry
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare pillbugs to the stampede (Medical Pillbug, Gear Bug)
* **Level 3** - Energy drains 10% slower in the Garden
* **Level 4** - Turn faster when riding on rolling pillbugs
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare pillbugs to the stampede (Tyre Bug, Armapillo, unlocks Sushi Bug mission)
* **Level 6** - When rolling, pillbugs will throw you clear if you crash
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins while travelling at top speed on pillbugs
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare pillbugs in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Pillbug to the stampede (Frillbug)

## Notes

* Pillbugs were released in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018 along with Garden and other original Garden species.
Species: Boar

The **boar** is the eighth species of animal the player finds in the game, and usually the first in Jungle. Boars are bucking and speeding animals. There are 10 different types of boar. They are unlocked at Jungle 1.

## Boars

**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:** Boars move slowly in loose packs.
* **When ridden:** Boars hop up and down rapidly but move at a slow pace.
* **When angry:** Boars accelerate rapidly when angry and buck at a rapid speed, making them close to uncontrollable.
* **In habitat:** Boars walk around, occasionally sniffing the ground of their pen.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They sniff two times in front of them, on their left and on their right.

## Tips

Boars are not a very useful animal, as they are hard to befriend without crashing into a wall or an obstacle. They are solid money-makers, though, if the player has upgraded their habitat to level 7, as they earn  per buck when angry, and they are also a decent safety animal as they move towards the player's lasso, although they do reduce the player's lasso size when ridden. They can only be ridden for a short time though, as it is easy to die from hitting obstacles and walls.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Ride for an extra 2s before a boar gets angry
* **Level 2** - Ride faster through water on boars
* **Level 3** - Angry boars accelerate slower
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from boars
* **Level 5** - While you are in the air, boars move towards your lasso
* **Level 6** - Ride for an extra 1s before a boar gets angry
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins while bucking on boars
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare boars in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Boar to the stampede (Wild Snore)

## Notes

* Boars 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.
