The **Falcon** is a tier 11 Land animal in Mope.io, and equivalent of the Crocodile, Lion, Octopus, Polar Bear and Vulture. It was added in the "*Invasion of the Birds*" update on May 13, 2018.

## Technical

* Upgrades from the Bear, Tiger, Swordfish, Pelican, Wolf, Hyena or Gobi Bear at 90K XP.
* Upgrades to the Eagle, Rhino, Shark, Wolverine, Markhor or Bison at 145K XP.
* It can climb Hills.
* Pressing `W` enables Falcon to use its "Sky Dive" ability. The Falcon will start to fly, and a target will appear. When the target is locked onto a spot which is done by pressing `W` again, the Falcon will dive onto that spot, damaging prey and stunning any animal it comes into contact with, knocking it back. The Falcon will land normally if the target is not used for the ability's duration.
	+ The speed of the dive increases the further the crosshair is away from the player, although the actual time it takes to land does not change. Because of this, aiming toward the corners of the screen provides the fastest dive speed.
	+ The dive itself is uncontrollable, causing the Falcon to fly straight toward the crosshair. However, the landing(indicated by when the Falcon begins to flap its wings, after the swoop) can be steered but has little forward movement.
	+ The Falcon runs out of water faster while flying.
	+ The ability cannot be used when on low water. If the player begins to fly, they will automatically land and receive a message if their water becomes lower than 25%.
	+ The player can boost during their flight to go faster.
* Can eat all food types except for berries, Cacti, Dates and Cactus Pears, and can eat all animals below it from Bear to Chicken tier.

### Predator Falcon

* All of the above criteria, except for special abilities and health bar, applies to the Predator Falcon.
* It is slightly enhanced according to the Changelog; probably meaning that its ability and health bar are buffed.
* It has a 50/4000 rarity.
* Can eat the same food types and animals as the Falcon.

### Shaheen Falcon

* All of the above criteria for the regular Falcon, except for special abilities and health bar, applies to the Predator Falcon.
* It has a superior health bar and flight duration.
* The ability is buffed.
	+ The Shaheen Falcon takes a small amount of damage if it does not dive onto an Animal, unlike the other variants.
* It has a 1/4000 rarity, and is considered a Pakistani Animal.

## Appearance

### Falcon

The Falcon is one of the more complex animals in the game. It is a cedar brown animal, with large wings that have lighter feathers in the shape of crescents and dark gray tips. The Falcon's head is relatively small, with tiny bared eyes in narrow yellow eye sockets. It has a broad tapering black beak that's yellow at the start. A small lighter patch can be seen above its beak and the sides of its face are white. The underside of the Falcon is white. Its tail is fan-shaped with additional feathers and a lighter tip.

While diving to its ability's target, the Falcon's wings swing back. Before landing, it will flap its wings and reveal yellow legs with hooked talons.

### Gold Trim Falcon

The Gold Trim Falcon’s darker brown feathers turn gold, as well as its belly and tail tip feathers. Its beak turns to the sane color as its eye sockets.

### Predator Falcon

The Predator Falcon possess all the features a normal Falcon has. However, the whole animal is a bluish shade of gray and it has bared eyes. It has small white eyebrows. The beak of the Predator Falcon's black tip is also smaller.

### Shaheen Falcon

The Shaheen Falcon has the same overall body shape and most of the features a Falcon possesses. However, the dark-gray feathers on the wings and body are replaced with light-gray feathers. It also has bared eyes, gray eyebrows, and darker tail feathers. Instead of having lighter lines for the feather pattern, it has darker triangular lines. Its body is a little shaggy. The Shaheen Falcon's beak tip has a smaller black patch, like the Predator Falcon.

### Classic Falcon

The old Falcon is primarily gray with a white belly. It has white crescents on its large wings, similar to the old Golden Eagle, and has a white margin before its black feather tips. Its head is small with a wide black beak and small eyes in yellow-green eye sockets. Its beak starts off with a narrow yellow bit. The Falcon's tail has more crescents and ends with a white line.

## Strategy

### As a Falcon

* When you press `W` and fly, you should see a cross-hair. Even though it is tricky to aim it accurately, a good tip is to observe where the prey is going then place the cross-hair slightly ahead of the animal. This will make you dive very fast, probably able to reach your target. Plus, the co-dev has revealed a "Treasure" (a secret trick to use in game) that says that Falcon can be used to bite tails by aiming your cross-hair at a predator's tail.
* Another strategy is to find an animal close to lava, and dive into it in a way that knocks it into the lava. If you knock in prey, it becomes an easy meal, if it is a predator, wall it a bit, and then go away, and try to get a tail-bite in.
* If you're not playing in full screen, beware of moving your mouse out of the game area while flying(i.e on the search bar), as it will cause you to dive at the furthest extent the mouse was. This can potentially place you in a risky situation, so it's better to play full screen.
* Bears and Gorillas are both easy targets, because their abilities are limited and only hit animals in front of them, so get them from behind. Chase them down and eat them, if your ability is recharged, do the same thing and make sure there are no predators, holes or interference.
* Get toucans too. If they fly away, fly too and kill it in mid-air. Cobras are also easy, as you can use abilities when poisoned. If you find a Pelican on shore, fly over it right above the ocean, turn around and claw it onto land. The Pelican's inability to use its ability on land should make it an easy kill.
	+ Particularly target prey that has low health. If you're lucky, you can use both the damage from your ability and the stunning effect to finish the animal off.
* When a Black Dragon or any other high tier animal is getting harassed by other people, use your dive to get to it's tail and bite it to death when it has very low health. Make sure it has low enough health to kill it in a single bite. Also, make sure the victim is directly running away so you can aim more easily.
* A good and reliable way to level up quickly is to hang around Trees and Bushes where Bananas, Coconuts, and Pears will be abundant. You can also go to a Beehive, and eat the bees that will be there.

### Against a Falcon

* Falcons are extremely hard to kill; their ability allows them to instantly fly, being a handy and unpredictable escape method. If you're a predator to the Falcon, utilize the time after the Falcon lands on the ground. Since its sky attack has an average reload time, bite it as much as possible before its take-off.
	+ Note that Falcons move very slowly in mud and water, so try eating one if you see one in either of those environments. Make sure to guard your tail if you see one diving/flying. Wherever the Falcon lands, swing around so that your tail is facing the opposite way.
* If you're the Falcon's prey, be very strategic about how you avoid the bird. Anticipate where you think it will sky-dive, and move as far away from that location as possible.
	+ Hang around water spots; when you see a Falcon sky-diving, dive so that you won't be stunned or damaged.
	+ Another strategy to evade them is just hide in a hiding hole. If your animal moves fast in mud or water, go to either of those places, as Falcons aren't as strong in there.
	+ Tigers and Bears will be its main source of food.
		- As a Tiger, you can leap away when the Falcon sky dives with your ambush ability, or flee to the ocean.
		- Bears will have a harder time running away, as their swiping ability only really stuns Falcons for a few seconds. If you're a Bear, flee to a hiding hole or the ocean where you can dive for ages.

## Trivia

* Including abilities and terrain factors, the Falcon is the fastest animal in Mope.io when flying and aiming for a corner of the player's screen (excluding abilities and terrain factors, the fastest animal is thought to be the Ostrich).
* Its ability used to damage predators too, making the Falcon very powerful and good for trolling. However, it was later nerfed to only damage prey.
* It used to be called Peregrine Falcon, but is now simply called Falcon.
	+ However, its upgrade button only said "Falcon," but the upgrade message along with a video released by the developers confirmed it was "Peregrine Falcon."
* Even though a Falcon can't climb trees manually by pressing the `S` key, they will be on top of a tree if they land on it with their ability. Notably, this is not a glitch.

### Glitches

* The Shaheen and Predator Falcons currently have the normal Falcon HP, as part of a bug.
