Titanichthys

Titanicthys was a arthrodiran placoderm build,playable in the present meta Sahara.Placoderms were a group what was banned during the Late Devonian balance patch. It was a filter-feeding build.

## Tier Placement

B-tier Filter-feeding Tank 2:Electric Boogaloo. As with many filter-feeding tanks, this build evolved from a build that normally is able to body builds their own weight class. It was really sluggish. Luckily, its only bad matchup is the Dunkleosteus build. There would not be another filter-feeding tank for 195 million years.

Vulture

scavenger

## Overview

Vultures are a guild of birds that, like Monkeys, are split into 2 categories: New World (players playing on the Africa, Asia and Europeservers) and Old World (playing on both Americas). They use their Soar ability to find carcasses, one of the most contested points of interest in the game.

## Tier Placement

B Tier. They are highly specialized in scavenging, often being the first to find them due to their excellent eyesight and acute smell. Vultures play a vital role in ecosystems by helping to prevent the spread of diseases from decaying carcasses.They haven't quite perfected the build, but they function decently as tanks. A good tank build needs to be able to accomplish two requirements, area denial and soaking up damage. For area denial, Vultures do it quite well. A few of them can easily lock down a carcass, some of the most contested points-of-interest on the map. They can do this because of their large size and food distraction projectile attack. The other thing a tank must be good at is shrugging off hits. And this is where Vultures fall short. Their thick feathers shield them completely from smaller attacks but because they need hollow bones to be able to fly, blunt force can easily crush their defenses and take them down in only a hit or two.

While they can defend a carcass from a hoard of smaller scavengers, they don't have much counter-play towards bigger, more aggressive builds. If they could, they could potentially even steal kills. And at that point, they'd be really overpowered.

## Abilities

#### Olfaction

Effect: Good perception bonus through smell.

### Food Distraction

Gives the opposing player the Disgusted de-buff, intimidates the player as well.

### Soar

Have high Aerial Mobility without using much Stamina
Urchin

Urchins are a playable class in the ocean biome. They are part of the kingdom Animalia although they don't look like it. They have low stealth and low health, but they have took a page from Hallucagenia and included spikes into their defence. Sea urchins are herbivores but if there are no food, they can turn into a scavenger. Urchins can (surprisingly) move relatively fast in short bursts.

## Abilities

* Quills
* Regeneration
* Suction Cups
* Ejectable Stomach

### Tier Placement

Due to their ability to warp the meta without S Tier builds like Dolphins & Sea Otters to keep them in check, they are good examples of what an A Tier build is.
Tackle

A cheetah main using tackle on an antelope player. The cheetah main will probably fail.

### Damage type

Blunt

Tackle is a basic move used by many predator builds to take down another player. It doesn't do much damage on its own, but it can easily combo into other more damaging moves such as Bite once the opponent is on the ground. Even though it has significant end lag, it's safe because it's hard to punish on the rare occasion it misses.
Zebra Shark

Zebra Sharks are Carpet Shark builds playable in coral reefs. It is often confused for the Leopard Shark build with its markings.

## Tier Placement

C-tier. They are a decent Shark main well suited to the reef meta, being able to breathe while remaining motionless.Its flexible body allows it to target hidden players in crevices. It also specced into barbels and crushing teeth to body many invertebrate builds. It is also one of the few Shark mains to be a support class for Human mains. Despite having only a few bad matchupsit only manages to cap out at C-tier due to not being very dominant in ther server and also refusing to abuse the regular toolkit available to other Shark mains.

Spit

Spit is a projectile move that uses saliva. It is mostly used to lower opponents resolve, causing debuffs. The effectiveness of the move can vary. On one end, spit moves can cause devastating damage (as for some Cobras). At the other end (like for Humans), it is so weak that it is used mainly for taunting an opponent unless they have powder in their mouth to blind or stun their opponent. Llamas are known to be on top in spitting, dealing some damage. Alpacas are less aggressive with it.
Stethacanthus

Stethacanthus was a shark build during the Late Devonian and Late Carbeniferous. They are well known for having spikes or thier head on spikes on their dorsal fin. Stethacanthus can range from surprisingly small to medium-sized, which is 70 cm-2 m long. These build belongs to a group of chimaera builds that had decided to copy a page from the Shark book.

## Overview

As stated above, this build has mediocre Health. Its Power stat is not that much, due to being able to body only small builds. It usually has a low Mobility stat but can resort to speed bursts if the situation calls for it. It can also defend itself with its spines should the situation call for it.

## Moveset

**Spikes (Passive, Defense)**-As mentioned before, Stethecanthus had spikes that played a part in the mating quest and hade a passive intimidation bonus, and can even be used for defensebut the small size makes this less effective.

**Speed Burst (Active, Mobility)**-A short burst of speed. Good for taking down builds in ambush range or running away from gankers.

## Tier Placement

C-tier. This build does not have many good stats at all, relying on its habitat and abilities to ward off most gankers.

## Summary

### Pros:

* Mostly well-rounded stats.
* Shallow coastal servers makes this build vulnerable to a few gankers.
* Decent at bodying bottom-dwelling builds.
* Spikes on head and dorsal fin provide an intimidation bonus.

### Cons:

* Spines only available if spawned as Male.
* Below-average stats overall.
* Makes barely any impact on the meta.

War

War is a type of PvP playstyle that can be defined by conflicts involving multiple players on each side. This is often a strategic gameplay which often favours intelligence players.

While war is most commonly known in Human mains, war playstyle between Ant mains is more common along with other eusocial mains like termite, bees etc. Chimpanzees occasionally use this playstyle, like in the famous Gombe chimpanzee war.
Spiny Dogfish

Range: 30

The spiny dogfish is one of the most common Shark builds in the game. Its unique ability is [Venom Spine], which it activates by arching its back to ward off predators.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. This Shark build is a pack hunter and can body builds multiple times their size and have been known to tear fishing nets and grief lightweight fish players caught in them. while [Venom Spine] is good at fending off predators, it does not actually deal a lot of damage and if the predator can tank the damage without losing Resolve, they are basically sitting ducks due to their low Health.

Troodon

Troodon was one of the many builds that decided to go for an intelligence playstyle. They used strategies like bait, stashing, environmental hazard checks, stuff like that. Since it takes a lot of calories to sustain a high intelligence, they don't have the Megafauna/Gigantism trait that most dinosaurs do. While this does seem OP, it has low power, stealth, and defense which means if they don't see and enemy coming, most of the time it is game over.

## Tier Placement

   As previously mentioned, Troodon has its playstyle centred around the intelligence stat. They have all the previously mentioned thing as well as gigantism/megafauna. So instead of powerful dagger-like claws, Troodon opted for smaller but opposable claws that could be used to pick up objects. This severely cut its potential in combat but gave it a lot of options in terms of manipulating its environment. It's very possible that if non-avian Dinosaurs weren't banned in a meteor strike balance patch, Troodon players would have eventually level up their intelligence enough to become top tiers similar to humans. But even though it was starting to gain the power to dominate its environment, it still had no way to combat the other top tiers aside from just running away, so it definitely wasn't S tier. One last thing to note is that since data miners named Troodon after a single tooth, it is now properly referred to as Stenonychosaurus, an name seen in older game guides but don't use this name most of the time because it's awful.
Wasp

A **wasp** is any insect of the narrow-waisted suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera which is neither a bee nor an ant; this excludes the broad-waisted sawflies (Symphyta), which look somewhat like wasps, but are in a separate suborder. The wasps do not constitute a clade, a complete natural group with a single ancestor, as bees and ants are deeply nested within the wasps, having evolved from wasp ancestors. Wasps that are members of the clade Aculeata can sting their prey.

The most commonly known wasps, such as yellowjackets and hornets, are in the family Vespidae and are eusocial, living together in a nest with an egg-laying queen and non-reproducing workers. Eusociality is favoured by the unusual haplodiploid system of sex determination in Hymenoptera, as it makes sisters exceptionally closely related to each other. However, the majority of wasp species are solitary, with each adult female living and breeding independently. Females typically have an ovipositor for laying eggs in or near a food source for the larvae, though in the Aculeata the ovipositor is often modified instead into a sting used for defense or prey capture. Wasps play many ecological roles. Some are predators or pollinators, whether to feed themselves or to provision their nests. Many, notably the cuckoo wasps, are kleptoparasites, laying eggs in the nests of other wasps. Many of the solitary wasps are parasitoidal, meaning they lay eggs on or in other insects (any life stage from egg to adult) and often provision their own nests with such hosts. Unlike true parasites, the wasp larvae eventually kill their hosts. Solitary wasps parasitize almost every pest insect, making wasps valuable in horticulture for biological pest control of species such as whitefly in tomatoes and other crops.

Wasps first appeared in the fossil record in the Jurassic, and diversified into many surviving superfamilies by the Cretaceous. They are a successful and diverse group of insects with tens of thousands of described species; wasps have spread to all parts of the world except for the polar regions. The largest social wasp is the Asian giant hornet, at up to 5 centimetres (2.0 in) in length; among the largest solitary wasps is a group of species known as tarantula hawks, along with the giant scoliid of Indonesia (*Megascolia procer*). The smallest wasps are solitary parasitoid wasps in the family Mymaridae, including the world's smallest known insect, with a body length of only 0.139 mm (0.0055 in), and the smallest known flying insect, only 0.15 mm (0.0059 in) long.

Wasps have appeared in literature from Classical times, as the eponymous chorus of old men in Aristophanes' 422 BC comedy *The Wasps*, and in science fiction from H. G. Wells's 1904 novel *The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth*, featuring giant wasps with three-inch-long stings. The name 'Wasp' has been used for many warships and other military equipment.
Styxosaurus

Two Styxosaurus hunting for fish with two Dolichorhynchops players

Styxosaurus was a Plesiosaur build that played during the Cretaceous in the former Western Interior Seaway. Known for their special teeth and long neck

## Overview

Styxosaurus had overall good stats. Their power was good especially for builds under their weight class. They were not very mobile, stealthy, or intelligent but they didn't use those stats very much however, they do sometimes sneak up on fish from behind. They had great health but only mediocre defenses. They mainly preyed on fish and squids.

## Abilities

### Long Neck

Similar to other Elasmosaurs Styxosaurus had a very long neck giving it extra range for catching fish underwater. This did give them a long hitbox though

### Special Teeth

With teeth that interlocked Styxosaurus could firmly grasp on fish and squids before swallowing them.

### Gastrolith Use

Styxosaurus used Gastroliths to properly grind up fish when they were inside their bodies so they could get as much XP as possible

## Tier Placement

Overall Styxosaurus may be the best plesiosaur in Outside. With everything that makes plesiosaurs great plus special teeth gives them a high A tier. Kept out of S tier due to their poor Mosasaur and Cretoxyrina matchup and their long neck, which a ganker could just easily snap to get a free kill.
Squirrel

The Squirrel (echo fighter:Chipmunk) is any of the 268 playable builds, which can also include Marmots, Flying Squirrels and Prairie Dogs. However, to most players, Squirrels refer to tree squirrels. The name "squirrel" comes from the Greek word "*skiaoros*" where "*skia*" means "shadow" and "*ouros*" means "tail". These builds are known for hoarding nuts through the winter.

## Species

### Location

Americas, Eurasia, Africa and introduced in Australia

### Relatives

Groundhogs, Prairie Dogs, Flying Squirrels

## Tier Placement

In A tier, there is a build very similar to the Rat but with higher Mobility and better resource-gathering skills: the Squirrel. Squirrels are some of the best Arboreal builds in the game, having the highest Arboreal Mobility bonus of all time. This enables them to evade attacks with ease and  lets them access loot that's normally tough to reach without the Flight ability. They are B tier in the City biome.

Southern Ground-Hornbill

Southern ground hornbills are bird builds that play on the Africa server. The ostrich is another build that plays on the Africa server and spends lots of it's time on the ground but they get bodied by pretty much every predator.

## Overview

The ground-hornbill decided to trade some of the mobility the ostrich had with pure bulk, intimidation, and the ability to fly. Although they spend most of their time on the ground their flight ability can get them out of tough situations. The ground-hornbills wattle is great for intimidation and if that doesn't work their bulk can take a hit or two. Ground-hornbills are a great counter to the snake guild because of their venom resistance and high enough power stat, with their sharp beak these builds can body the snake class they also eat other small animals and if they can't find food they can just scavenge. Lastly they live in groups which gives them safety in numbers. These builds make it into A tier kept out of S tier because they are not as mobile as the secretary bird and leopards and grief them

Vine Snake

Judgemental Stare

Vine Snake is a member from the colubrid familiy. Like most others in the group, it is low-tiered and lack front fangs for efficient venom secretion. It is also one of, if not, the smallest build in the snake guild.

## Tier Placement

D Tier. Vine snakes are pretty much spaghetti-sized snakes that have very low hp, defense and power stats. This did allow it to develop a really strong camouflage near plants. However, if it is faced with an opponent in a larger weight class, it resorts to using their subpar intimidation ability. Their venom's lack of potency certainly does not help it to use for defense.
Snakehead

The snakehead build is a fish build introduced since the Eocene expansion. They are distinguished by their heads, which resemble Snake builds. These builds have surprisingly been introduced elsewhere and have caused massive powercreeps.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. These builds have good Power and Health stats. The schooling behaviour has been observed in this build. They also surprisingly have the [Amphibious] trait, thus allowing them to spread to other servers. Coupled with their astonishingly high respawn rate, they have caused many powercreeps in servers. Unlike the Arapaima build, these builds also retains the ability to breathe underwater. The best builds are the Giant Snakehead (high Power and Health) and the Northern Snakehead (easily causes powercreeps in servers and are very difficult to spawnkill), both of which are A-tier.

Titanis

Titanis is one of the many Terror Birds in the history of the game, It was the last terror bird in the game, and one of the most famous. It is also closely related to Phorusrhacos.

## Overview

Titanis had a "killer" power stat, one of the highest for a bird in the history of the game (not counting the dinosaurs). It also had a even better mobility stat, faster than any other flightless bird build currently available. It was not the bulkiest terror bird, but it was pretty tanky compared to current builds.  This build did not have the best stealth due to its large size, but it didn't really need it, as it lived in the tall grasslands.

## Abilities and Skills

### Long Legs

With long legs Titanis got a boost in perception, speed, and had a higher chance of shorter builds missing their attacks.

### Hooked Beak

Grants this build higher damage with peck attacks. It also makes it easier for this build to tear meat with its head.

## Weaknesses

### Eggs

Since this build is a bird it laid eggs. But since it could not fly it had no real safe place to lay its eggs. This makes the eggs vulnerable to raids from other players.

### Hollow Bones

The hollow bones did allowed Titanis to have a high mobility, but it cuts down the defense stat of this build. Making it easier to deal a critical blow.

## Tier Placement

This build is great due to the high speed to catch fast moving prey and power to kill large tanks, but the heavy competition in the meta drags it down. But in a 1v1 Titanis can easily take down a majority of the builds in the server. It would've risen much higher if it spent points into team strats. Either way it sat in high C tier. But currently it is unknown why or how this build and its cousins got banned.
Woolly Rhinoceros

Range: 78

The Woolly Rhinoceros is a stronger version of the modern day Rhinoceros build that played during The Ice Age. It is now banned

## Overview and Tier Placement

Modern rhinos were hyper-aggressive, often attacking anything they detect in their territories which can include ridiculous things such as trees, rocks and termites mounds. Because of that, modern rhinos aren't any higher than D tier.

But the Woolly Rhinos, despite having the same issues, made up for it with their higher Power and Defense. With the power creep starting to reach Dinosaur levels, Defense was very critical. Because of their power and their weaknesses combined, they are B tier.

## Abilities

### Horns

While these aren't really horns, they are intimidating gear nonetheless. These could eliminate the groups of attacking Neanderthals and Wolves these guys had to deal with.

## Weaknesses

The weaknesses of a woolly rhino are similar if not the same as the modern day rhino but we will relist them.

### Poor Eyesight

This means that they couldn't really tell if there was an enemy nearby or that was a teammate. This really damaged their viability, but wait, there's more,
Vendotaenid

Easteregg showing group of Vendotaenid players.

There were several Genera in this family but we don't know much about them. we thought that Vendotaenid were a member of Brown Algae but now we think that they are a Bacteria players.

## Overview

Stats are nothing special because of no evolution pressure. It was Reducing Sulphide to Live. they are 1 millimeter (0.039 in) in width and characteristically are commonly preserved as unbranched red or black ribbons. The remains are often curved and have been found twisted or untwisted but tend to be untwisted.

## Abilities and Skills

### Sulphide-reduction

This Family reduces Sulphide and releases Hydrogen.

Zebra

Zebra's base stats

The Zebra is the only build of the Equine guild that did not become a Human support class. They were playable after the Neogene expansion. Zebra mains are found in herds, giving them moderate INT and DEF. The most defining feature of this build is their stripes, which gives them a stealth bonus against parasitic debuffs. This build is exclusive to the African server. During The Ice Age,  however,  it could be found in the North American server.

## Abilities

### Hypnotic Stripes

These stripes (when in herds) can make it difficult to tell where your hitbox starts and ends which gives it a boost to stealth.

## Tier Placement

It has a strong argument for B Tier because of their large population which is only getting stronger each generation and offensive capabilities, but even healthy adults are defenseless against a lion pride or a hyena ambush. It has a moderate intelligence level, enough to form herds. However, they have low Resolve and tend to flee from predator builds like Lions. Zebras, unlike most other prey animals do not possess horns may seem defenseless, but instead have the strongest kick in the game, being easily capable of knocking out a fully grown lion in a well-placed blow, along with a somewhat impressive bite power. This, along with their superior size makes smaller builds like Cheetahs and Leopards only hunt foals, but are still targeted by lions.

Zebras are also tank builds, no horns but great at defending themselves, particularly stallions. Stallions from a young age fight each other for mating rights to lead a harem of over 6 females and young, through doing this it trains them for when they might get in trouble with a predator. This, along with their high stamina, allows them to take a grip to the neck by a lion. When gripped, they are in no spot to actually unleash a kick, but instead use brute force to loosen their grip and escape. Even sick stallions may put up a fight but in their prime are a threat to solo lion hunters.

Despite being great at self-defense and attack, they are very defenseless to prowling crocodiles when crossing rivers due to crocodiles having many advantages like camouflage, having the most powerful bite in the game and a water based animal. A crocodile's bite force is nearly twice as powerful as the already deadly zebra kick.

Zebras are intelligent in some ways and not so much in other ways. Zebras will run in a zig-zag fashion to confuse a lion in pursuit and typically aren't going to submit when their neck is being gripped, but when a old or sick zebra is being attacked, other zebras do not come help, unless it is a foal in which case the mother mare may come to save them. They are very similar to buffaloes in most ways, but buffaloes possess slightly more intelligence; enough to come to help a friend being attacked by predators, which is why buffaloes are more successful than zebras.

Zander

The zander (echo fighter:walleye) is a perciform fish build specialized for taking down lightweights.They can be found in the European and North American servers.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. These builds have decent eyesight and favour turbid water, where most fish mains would have a Perception debuff.Despite being named as pike-perch, these builds use a different strategy to grief lightweights, actively pursuing them.

## Trivia

* A Pike main has been found choking on a Zander player.
* Despite the name pike-perch, this build is not a hybrid build of Pike and Perch.

Syrinx Shriek

A parrot using Syrinx Shriek on a tiny human player

The Syrinx Shreek is an ability that makes the user have one of the most effective intimidation abilities ever. The user creates a large screech up to as loud as a gunshot which means it could make the opponent deaf as well making them run for the fields. This is also buffed by having bright colours that stand out.

## A bit of lol for all of us

Apparently, Parrots can use it, so that's why I keep hearing bird-like screams from my son's friend's house which has parrots living in it. It can also be used by Screamers and Guineafowl.

Tiger Keelback

Tiger Keelback chilling on a rock

The Tiger Keelback is a semi-aquatic snake build in the Colubrid (non-front fanged) family. It is distinct with it spending some evolution points for poison.

## Tier Placement

C Tier. The problem with no front fangs or fangs that even help inject venom is that it would have to chew on a target for some time for the venom to take effect. Defensively, Tiger Keelbacks offset that with poison and their bright colours to help boost their intimidation. Their bright colours, however, would decrease their stealth stat. Being semi-aquatic also gives them more availability to a wider range of preys. Their venom is obviously less powerful and they are still smaller than the average snake build.

## Abilities

### Poison

Effect: Damage opponents with toxic chemicals gradually

### Intimidate

Effect: Reduces target's resolve (with Aposematism)
The Archean Expansion

One of the only players that took a screenshot of the scenery, good job to them.

### Version

0.2

The Archean expansion also known as the version 0.2 of the game, was where the devs decided that they would cool down the earth so that the conditions wouldn't be so harsh and that way players could actually play. This is the first registered spike in the playerbase but most of the 'players' were still NPCs. The Archean Expansion's atmosphere contained heavily of methane, ammonia, hydrogen and carbon monoxide which means that you couldn't get out of the sea. There were 4 sub updates, the Eoarchean, Paleoarchean, Mesoarchean and the Neoarchean.

* The earth finnaly cooled down, making the game easier for the players.
Toad

## Common Toad

The Common Toad is a C tier amphibian that is more sturdy than your average amphibian. Toads have thicker skin, which also gives them more resistance to dehydration meaning that they can live far away from water sources. Toads had their stats buffed in exchange for their jump but since toads are more sturdy, jumping to safety isn't as crucial. Some toads also contain chemical defenses to help them defend themselves. However, their buffed defense does not completely offset the lack of offensive capabilities, even with poisonous secretions.
Sylviornis

Sylviornis was a banned Fowl main that was playable on the New Caledonian Server.It is actually a stem-Fowl build, colloquially known as "Du". It is formally referred to as a megapode or Ratite build.

## Overview

This build was the largest Galliform build ever playable. Its island playstyle resulted in a reduction of stats, especially Mobility. All other stats are mediocre compared to the Fowl build. Being an omnivore, it has mediocre Power

## Moveset

**Dig (Active, Misc.)**-Use to find legendary loot.underground.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. It has a decent strategy for a Bird build, being similar to Dodo mains. Before the Human mains arrived its only bad matchups were i the form of Monitor Lizards. With the arrival of Human mains, along with other Mammal mains, it sustained them for a while, but them became unviable, dropping to D-tier.

Tribu des Plaines d'Acier

La Tribu des Plaines d'Acier est un groupe d'Humains qui vit à l'écart du royaume de Dolinrod.

## Histoire et Origines

La Tribu des Plaines d'Acier a des origines profondément ancrées dans l'histoire pré-synchronisation de Dolinrod. Bien longtemps avant l'époque de Penesus, un groupe de colons s'est établi au Nord de l'île, loin des zones plus civilisées. Ces colons étaient des individus fuyant la société naissante, préférant la liberté des vastes étendues et des plaines du Nord.

Loin de la capitale, ils ont commencé à vivre de chasse, de cueillette et de pêche, développant des compétences de survie alors transmises de génération en génération. Ils se sont adaptés à un mode de vie semi-nomade, se déplaçant parfois au Sud pour suivre les troupeaux de gibier.

## Mode de Vie et Culture

La Tribu des Plaines d'Acier est connue pour son mode de vie à la dure. Communiquant à l'aide de leur propre dialecte ; le Dialecte d'Acier ; ils préfèrent rester loins de la civilisation. Le combat et la chasse sont des compétences valorisées au sein de la tribu, et les jeunes membres sont initiés à l'art de la guerre dès leur plus jeune âge. La tribu vit constamment dans la crainte qu'un jour, le royaume se retournera contre eux afin de les faire disparaître.

Leurs armes et armures sont principalement fabriquées à partir de matériaux locaux, tels que le métal trouvé dans les montagnes du Massif de Tibur, ou bien les os d'animaux qu'ils chassent.

## Organisation Sociale

La tribu est dirigée par des chefs de guerre. Ils sont simplement les membres les plus forts et les plus respectés au combat. La hiérarchie sociale est basée sur la force, l'expérience et le courage au combat. Au-delà de leurs fonctions de guerrières, les femmes ont la responsabilité de s'assurer de la santé des membres de la tribu. Elles ont aussi, la plupart du temps, des fonctions médicales.

Les décisions importantes sont prises lors de rassemblements tribaux, où les chefs de guerre discutent des stratégies, des déplacements de la tribu et des conflits éventuels à régler. Les disputes peuvent être résolues par des duels, renforçant ainsi la notion de force comme critère de leadership.

## Relations avec le Royaume

Bien que les Plaines d'Acier soient indépendantes du Royaume de Dolinrod, une relation complexe existe. La tribu ne reconnaît aucune autorité royale, mais elles ont des échanges commerciaux occasionnels avec les villages plus proches de la capitale. Les habitants du Royaume les considèrent souvent avec méfiance en raison de leurs manières directes et de leurs coutumes considérées vraiment rustres.
Narluga

The narluga, which is a hybrid of a Narwhal and Beluga main is a hybrid build that is currently playable in the Arctic Ocean. Due to the Global Warming patch, more and more players want to play as a Narluga main. Since the parent builds are karyologically uniform (2n=44), the narluga can still do the main quest, something hybrid builds usually can't do.

## Overview

Most of its base stats are similar to its parents. Like Belugas and Narwhals, their lack of a dorsal fin reduces their Mobility significantly. Due to adapting to bottom-feed from its teeth, it had even less Power than these two. On the other hand, it has aslightly higher Health stat than either of these two.

## Moveset

**Echolocation (Avtive, Utility)**- Allows a build to detect a user in front of them.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. Due to its ability to still reproduce, it is one of the few viable hybrid builds in the wild. Additionally, they can also pull off a playstyle different from its parents, as a bottom-feeding build. However, it is outclassed by better Arctic bottom feeders like Walruses.

Tiktaalik

Tiktaalik (Burbot) was the prototypical tetrapodomorph Sarcopterygiian build, known to be the ancestor of all tetrapod builds. It was playable during the latter part of The Devonian Expansion in the Canadian server.

## Overview

This build is a decent pursuit build capable of terrestrial access, thus the high Mobility. Being capable of sucking and biting also gives them a sizable Power stat. It had great Defense in its scales and mediocre Health from its size.

## Moveset

**Modified Swim Bladder (Passive, Utility)**- Allows you to take in oxygen spawns.

**Hybrid Jaws (Passive, Attack)**- Allows you to suck prey as well as deal a good amount of bite damage.

**Landlubber Limbs (Passive, Mobility)**- Allows you to spend a good amount of time on the terrestrial server.

## Tier Placement

High A-tier. Tiktaalik was one of the more viable fishapods. Its scales protected it from most attacks, and it can bite and suck its targets at the same time. It had nearly no predators other than Sharks and Rhizodonts. Regardless, the ability to play in terrestrial servers was a huge milestone in the game, allowing it to avoid many of its dangerous predators. Eventually, they specced into several adaptations that ecame the currently playable Tetrapod builds in the game.

The Jurassic Expansion

The Jurassic Expansion (201.3 MYA - 145.0 MYA) was a semi-major expansion. The Earth’s single landmass, Pangaea, had begun to divide into two supercontinents - Laurasia, in the north and Gondwana in the south. This did not affect the dinosaur’s reign significantly. During the late triassic and early jurassic update, the conifers’ biodiversity was rising. Early Jurassic still had an abundance of insect mains.

## Start of Jurassic

Ornithischian dinosaurs have their pubis (pair of bones that makes up the pelvis) reversed to allow a bigger gut cavity, helping them gain greater XP from some of the toughest plants. They also specced into chisel-like teeth. This group diversified and became many of the most viable groups of dinosaurs like ceratopsians and armoured dinosaurs. Megazostrodon, a tiny, nocturnal insectivore, would be the first true mammal appearing at the start of the Jurassic. Mammals would later diversify to include guilds that can glide or swim.

## Changes

1. Boosted the Dinosaur guild (e.g. Sauropods and Stegosaurs emerging).
2. Nerfed most other animals.
3. Mammal guild updated with Live Birth groups (Therian mammals and Multituberculates).
4. Pangea starts to separate again to bring more temperate and tropical forests and land.
5. Rise of avian dinosaurs and marine reptiles
6. Increase in temperature, nerfing swamps and marshes
7. 3 minor extinction events
Sugar Glider

The sugar glider is a omnivorous marsupial. This marsupial is nocturnal and arboreal meaning that when they sleep during the day, they are prime targets for other arboreal builds that are dinural and non-nocturnal. Sugar gliders can glide and they can do for for a pretty long distance. Sugars gliders have high intelligence (impressive for a marsupial) and below average health and defence. They have higher attack than you might

expect and is even known to prey on birds.

## Tier Placement

Sugar gliders are around A- tier because they have some downsides like, low defence and health and nocturnal. But they also have a lot of advantages including, a glide, sharp teeth, high intelligence, decent arboreal mobility and cute which means that human players are not likely to attack sugar gliders. But you can't ignore the downsides which makes it only low A tier.

## Don't Believe Everything.

The sugar glider's intelligence is pretty high no doubt there. But how high it is debatable. The in game stats say it's around the same as a rat, but some say that it's simply not true. Some human players even found them trainable and some compared intelligence to a dog, one of the most intelligent classes in the game.
Sonic Blast

**Sonic Blast** is a ranged water move that deals high damage with long range.

SANIC BLOSTER

This move is the signature move of the Pistol Shrimp The user uses their claws to make a small bubble that shoots forwards. The bubble is super hot, and can one-shot most players in its weight class. This move however, cannot deal damage to larger builds such as large fish players and Cephalopods. This move is very expensive to unlock, needing the maximum amount of power to unlock it

*Funny sound bubble go brr*
Slime Mold

dizgustin

## Overview

Slime Molds are a quirky Eukaryotic Faction that can either be unicellular or multicellular. A new Slime Mold player starts off unicellular but can use the Grouping strategy to become multicellular. Slime molds only have around 900 playable classes. This sounds like a lot but really compared to animals or plants, it's like comparing the earth to a bacterium.

## Tier Placement

C-Tier. Some slime molds have a pretty high intelligence stat for a fungus, being able to cross mazes and doing it in the shortest path possible. In the early stages of Outside, the Slime Mold Faction was part of the Fungi Faction, but was later separated for an unknown reason. A special advantage (not unique to the slime molds) is the ability to start with the Disgust ability, which prevents low-level players with the Feelings attribute from getting close. This isn't very effective, however, it can be intensified when the player gains higher levels, which allows them to gain the Pulsating skill, which usually allows other types of players to gain the **[Disgust]** ability as well. They can move but very slowly by altering its shape with pseudopodial (cytoplasm protrusion) locomotion. They also do not pose a threat to plants as they are decomposers but they cannot thrive in dry conditions

Water Buffalo

The **Water Buffalo** (Echo Fighter(s): Tamaraw, Banteng) is a bovine native to the Asian server. These builds rely on water holes to cool down. These builds have the [Amphibious] trait, which gives them no Mobility penalty in water or land.

## Tier Placement

Next in A tier is the **Water Buffalo**. A build similar to regular Cattle but with more Power and a Mobility boost in shallow water which is a good ability to have. They can fight off Tiger mains pretty well, and Human mains in the Indian server are much friendlier towards builds like the **Water Buffalo**.
Squalodon

Squalodon is a banned Whale buildrelated to modern river dolphin builds despite being completely marine. The biggest builds were the size of Orca.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. Like Orcas, they could tank a good amount of hits. They could still echolocate, though not in the level of modern Whale builds. Unlike modern Whales that specced into simple teeth, Squalodons specced into serrated teeth for inflicting the [Heavy Bleed] debuff. It also travels in pods to easily deal with an otherwise unwinnable matchup, the Megalodon.
