Creature Event: Emerald Cockroach Wasp

The Creature Event: Emerald Cockroach Wasp was the 11th Creature Event in Pocket Ants.

## General information

The Creature Event: Emerald Cockroach Wasp, also known as a mini-event, is a short event that is intended to give players the chance to get special creatures from the past or fuse the ones they have. Unlike major events, these don't include unlimited sources, daily rewards, re-spawn timer reductions, ant skins nor visual changes of any type. Getting creatures in these Events is harder because the red ants and aphid farms re-spawn time isn't reduced, thus they won't give as much activity points per day as they do on major events.

## Editions

There have been one editions of this Event, each occurring after the Summer Events.

Uncommon Creatures

Uncommon creatures appear less frequently than common creatures. There is a better chance of attracting them with higher ranking pheromones.

## Obtaining

### Defeating

The player ant recruits soldier ants and send them in to attack. There is no way to prevent some soldiers from dying so be ready.

## Battles

The Emperor Scorpion is one of the strongest melee creatures. Its high health and fast attack rate allow it kill soldiers very quickly and deal lots of damage to enemy creatures. It is a very strong creature in battle. This makes it good for both attacking and defense. The high health allows it to withstand a lot of hits from enemy creatures.

When attacking, be careful with ants around the Emperor Scorpion. The fast attack rate means ants will be killed quickly. A better tactic is to kill or distract them with other creatures before bringing ants in to attack.

## Trivia

* The Emperor Scorpion is the first Event Creature that was revealed by the developer before its event started.

* The Emperor Scorpion is the first Event Creature that changes color during nighttime.

* Emperor scorpions glow under ultraviolet light not during the night like they do in the game.

Summer Event 2023

The Summer Event 2023 is the 17th Major Event to take place in Pocket Ants, and the 2nd annual edition of this event. It was announced on 13-Aug-2023 on Discord.

## Duration

The event began on 18-Aug-2023 at 0:00 UTC and ended on 04-Sep-2023 at 23:59 UTC, having a duration of 18 days.

## About the festivity

This event celebrates the summer months in the northern hemisphere which is where the developer is located.

## Special Creature

Trilobite Beetle

This event's creature was the Trilobite Beetle. It's the second special variant of the Centipede, having higher stats on Speed and Health. It acts as a melee attacker, damage dealer and sniper unit on battles.

It could be attracted with a limit of two creatures per day.

## Activity Bar

The activity bar could be filled with 1000 Activity Points that are received from the following activities:

 Processing Pineapple pieces into food.
 Obtaining Honeydew from Aphid Farms only.
 Gathering from Acorns.
 Getting Pheromones by attacking other players or Dr. Zany.
 Watching ads for Battle Tokens.

## Purchasable Items

### Unlimited Source

The 24-hours Unlimited Source for this Event was the Pineapple, which is located like the rest of Unlimited Sources: at the north of the player's Colony, next to the Tree. All players get one for free, and it could be purchased unlimited times on the Event Menu with a cost of 650 Gems.

The Pineapple disappears 24 hours after activation. It's activated by gathering from it or selecting it as a source. Once activated, the 24-hours timer in the Event menu will start.

Worker ants can gather Pineapple pieces to process them into food, and Leaves to store them in the Leaf Storage. Seeds can't be gathered from the Pineapple. It's recommended to log in often as the infinite food allows for quick soldier ant regeneration. It will also allow players to build colony upgrades easily.

Since it's a source of activity points, it is recommended to delay its activation by an hour or two after the game reset (0:00 UTC), so it can last for two days, allowing players to get 4 creatures easily.

### Ant Skins

This Event included **three** new, limited summer-themed ant skins: the **Surfboard skin**, **Marine Animal skin**, and **Tropical Drink skin** which could only be purchased during the event with 500 gems each one in the Ant Skins shop.

## Daily Rewards

This event included Daily Rewards that players could claim by logging in every day. Skipping a day did not reset the progress.

## Timer Reductions

The Respawn Timers that were reduced in this event are:

* Red Ants timer, from 12 hours to 6 hours.
* Aphid farm timer, from 6 hours to 4 hours.

## Visual changes

In this Event, acorns received a special green texture.

## Trivia

* This is the first edition of this event and the first event that does not feature a known festivity but instead celebrates a time of year.

Capturing

*Gotta catch em all!*

Capturing Creatures is essential if you want to progress in the game. Whether you need them for offense or defense creatures are extremely useful, if you want to raid other player bases for resources and pheromones, or if you simply want to protect your own.

Now, keep in mind that some Creatures are rarer than others. Every Creature has different stats, so some are stronger, faster, or more useful than others.

Creatures will appear every 24 hours, or when you use 3 pheromones. Different creatures will appear in different times of the day. The weather also plays a part in summoning rarer creature. Day is where you can find the most common creatures, night and rain have a higher chance of rarer creatures appearing.

Below is a chart regarding Creatures, their rarity, and their best summoning times.

## **Creature Chart**

Main article: Conditions to Attract

Common & Uncommon Creatures
 Mantis | Common
 Tiger Beetle | Uncommon
 Scorpion | Uncommon
 Butterfly | Uncommon

Rare Creatures
 Rhinoceros Beetle | Rare
 Dragonfly | Rare
 Asian Giant Hornet | Rare
 Centipede | Rare

To Capture a creature, the player needs to defeat it by having the soldier ants attack it until it withers into a corpse. Once defeated, a menu will pop up, featuring two options: **Kill** or **Capture**. Killing the creature will close the menu, leaving the creature's corpse on the ground. Capturing the creature will close the menu, displaying the message **The ants carried the creature to the Slaves Chamber**. Keep in mind that you can't capture the creature if the Creature Army & Creature Storage is full. Attempting to capture the creature when both are full will display the message **Creature Storage is full**, forcing you to kill it.

They have a lot more health than a rhino beetle and a bit more speed.

They are neutral creatures and will not attack unless something is attacking it.

It is **highly recommended** not to kill these creatures.

Mecynorhina torquata ugandensis. This beetle, known for its flower diet, is a vital pollinator for many plant species, contributing to a healthy ecosystem and biodiversity.

## Stats

Main article: Creature Stats

Flower Chafer Beetles are pretty tanky even when they are 1 star, although they are a bit faster than the rhinoceros beetle. At 4 stars it is tied with the Christmas Beetle for the highest health of any creature in the game, higher than a 4-star rhinoceros, golden 4-star bombardier and golden 4-star rhinoceros.

## Obtaining

### Defeating

When fighting the beetle, send soldier ants to attack, then when its body turns red, click 'retreat' and the soldier ants will go out of the beetle's range before it attacks. Then click 'attack' again. Do the same over and over until it is defeated (make sure to keep out of its attack range, as being caught in its devastating attack results in annihilation).

## Battles

Flower Chafer Beetle, like the rhino beetle, is used as a tank in attacking and defense. When attacking, it can be placed in the middle of enemy creatures to lead them away from an area or distract them to allow attacking creatures to attack without taking damage themselves. It can also be place near enemy soldiers to take huge amounts of them in one swipe.

In defense, it can be attacked for a long time and will either distract enemy creatures or lead them through a swarm of ants or to the Venus fly trap.

Good as support vs creatures, although it has a lot of health.

## Trivia

* This creature is tied with Christmas Beetle for the most health in the game.

* Mecynorhina torquata is among the largest flower beetles in the world, only surpassed by the goliath beetles. The game depicts a male of the subspecies Mecynorhina ugandensis as only male beetles have horns.
Resin Shop

## General information

The **Resin Shop** is an area that is accessible by clicking on the Shop logo located above the Battle button, and then navigating to the Resin tab. Permanent bonuses can be bought here using Resin. Players can view the name, bonus, and cost by clicking on a bonus before purchasing it. There is a purchase button that must be pressed in order to buy the upgrade.

*\*Bonuses of the same type are not cumulative.* This message at the bottom of the shop means that each bonus upgrade replaces the previous. A player who has a 10% speed upgrade and purchases the 20% speed upgrade, will now have 20% speed.

Creature Event: Halloween Pennant

The Creature Event: Halloween Pennant is the sixth Creature Event in Pocket Ants and the second involving a creature from Halloween.

## General information

The Creature Event: Halloween Pennant, also known as a mini-event, is a short event that is intended to give players the chance to get Special Creatures from the past or fuse the ones they have. Unlike Major Events, these don't include Unlimited Sources, daily rewards, re-spawn timer reductions, ant skins nor visual changes of any type. Getting creatures in these events is harder because the Red Ants and Aphid Farms re-spawn time isn't reduced, thus they won't give as much activity points per day as they do on major events.

Getting creatures in these Events is harder because the red ants and aphid farms re-spawn time isn't reduced, thus they won't give as much activity points per day as they do on major events.

## Editions

There has been one edition of this Event, each occurring after the Anniversary Event.

Creature Storage

Creature Storage is a way to store extra creatures that the player does not immediately need.

## General Information

Creature storage is an important aspect of the game. The main use of gems  in the game is opening up storage slots.

The creature army has space for 12 creatures to be used in battles and defense. When first starting in the game, storage isn't used much because it is easy to fuse creatures and keep spots available. As players progress in the game they start to collect golden and special creatures that may not need to be used. They also often have a defense set of creatures and an attacking set of creatures. This type of gameplay requires a lot of storage slots to keep the extra creatures until they are needed.

Creature Storage is designed to store extra creatures that the player does not immediately need. For example: creatures that have too few stars, creatures that the player does not want to discard (event creatures or creatures that are sometimes switched out), freeing rooms for other creatures if needed for PvP, or for fusion.

Creatures recently captured will go straight into the storage if the creature army is full and spaces are available. If there are no available spaces in the storage tab or army tab the player will be forced to kill the creature. The player must ensure there is free space in either the army tab or the storage tab if they are planning to capture a creature. This is very useful for capturing and fusing late-game as there is no need to discard a creature to capture another for fusion.

## Tutorial

#### **To transfer a creature to storage:**

The player must go to the army tab and click on the box icon on the left. The player starts with 3 free storage slots. The player must click on a creature that's in the army tab. The player must click on the red arrow on the left to transfer the creature to storage.

#### **To transfer a creature to the army tab:**

The player must click on a creature in the storage tab. The player must click on the green arrow on the left of the storage tab, there must be free space in the army tab for this process to work.

## Cost of slots

There are 78 storage slots available currently in the game. Every player starts with 3 creature storage slots, the rest must be unlocked with the use of gems. The slots in the first two rows (excluding the initial three that are unlocked for free) cost 200 gems each, all these slots combined cost 1800 gems. The slots in the next eleven rows cost 400 gems each, all these slots combined cost 26400 gems. The total cost of all the slots combined comes up to 28200 gems.
Update 0.07/Version 0.0718

Version 0.0718 is the sixth update of 0.0710, released 6-Jun-2022, that fixed some bugs.

## Additions

With wide, almost saucer-like eyes the Theran’il are the most alien-looking of all the elves, matching the Sadrath’il in lack of typical proportions.

While all elves may be found in Wyth Tyr'il, the Theran’il claim no homeland as their population is typically seen in all climates and in all lands. They are few in number, however.

*Pathfinder 2E players should use the Whisper Elf  heritage for Theran’il*.
Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede

*For the normal variant, see Centipede.*

The Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede is the 8th Special Creature to be added into the game.

## General Information

The shocking pink dragon millipede has similar attributes to the centipede. However, it has much faster speed than its regular counterpart.

It is **highly recommended not** to kill these creatures.

## Description

Desmoxytes purpurosea has glands that produce hydrogen cyanide to protect itself from predators, which causes it to smell like almonds. Its toxicity is advertised by its aposematic color.

## Stats

Main article: Creature Stats

Shocking pink dragon millipede has high attack rate and good health.

It can be upgraded a max of 60% each stat in the Creature Lab.

## Obtaining

### Events

 Creature Event: Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede | 1000

### Defeating

The player must get close and press the attack button without getting caught by the millipede.

If player speed has been upgraded enough, the player can let the millipede target them and run around the map while soldiers attack. This makes it so no soldiers die while defeating it.

## Battles

The shocking pink dragon millipede acts like a normal centipede but faster.

It is one of the strongest melee creatures. Its high health and fast attack rate allow it kill soldiers very quickly and deal lots of damage to enemy creatures. It is a very strong creature in battle. This makes it good for both attacking and defense. The high health allows it to withstand a lot of hits from enemy creatures.

When attacking, be careful with ants around the millipede. The fast attack rate means ants will be killed quickly. A better tactic is to kill or distract millipedes with other creatures before bringing ants in to attack.

## Trivia

* The millipede was originally released with low increasing (2%) Creature Lab upgrades but was changed to high increasing (5-10%) after many complaints on Discord.

* The shocking pink dragon millipede in the game is based off the *Desmoxytes purpurosea* species of millipede.
