## Strategies & Tips

### As a Snowy Owl

* To the Arctic you go! This is a very risky and dangerous animal, two choices for gaining exp - either hunt Penguins, which are widely competed by other high-tier animals, or hunt the more exclusive Lemmings. With either choice, you're at risk - nearly all animals that can eat Penguins can eat you as well, while eating Lemmings involves going underground, in a tight space where ambushes are easy. Stay alert, as it is one of the riskiest animals to play as besides Bat (eats in closed areas) and Pigeon (lots of predators)!
	+ With that being said, you should be cautious and know your surroundings, as well as check the map.
* You have three options for XP, all with upsides and downsides. One is the underground in the eastern Arctic (the ground next to the Grassland. This area is the riskiest but has a lot of Lemmings and Penguins just above it, allowing for easy XP as long as there are no predators. The next is the Icebergs. This is not nearly as risky but Penguins here will quickly be eaten up by predators, so it's hard to gain XP here. The last is the Ice Castle's underground. Like all Underground locations, this can be risky, but isn't as risky as the other undergrounds since it's more isolated. It also has a lot of Penguins and a decent number of Lemmings, so all in all, this is probably the best location.
	+ You can also hang around the Iced Cave as there are numerous Penguins and Lemmings and it has meat which is useful for your next tier: the Hawk. Be careful of the Piranhas that guard the Fish and the Water and the Mammoth that guards your food along with some Bread, Meat, Dead Fish and Stones. Also Phoenixes and Dragons will come to eat the Mammoths and Demonic Imps will often come to munch on the Giant Rat, but will be happy to have you as a meal as well.
* If you're going to eat Lemmings underground, then be wary of Lemmings in the dead-ends, which are very risky to enter in. There are two major reasons for this:
	+ Predators that got underground can corner you and eat you, which means you are definitely dead (unless a miracle happens)
	+ Sometimes there are trollers (Hornet, Fly, etc.) that want to trick you, push you inside and let you die by dehydration! If such a thing happens, you must follow these steps to get out;
		- Hold the right or left button (depends on which way the exit is) and jump as much as possible, to get out easier.
		- Don't respond/use emojis, because that will solve almost always nothing, and it distracts you from getting out. If their purpose was not trolling you, then they would have got out and let you go already.
	+ If you insist on eating the Lemmings in those dead-end corners, then you must stay as close to the exit as possible, or you might get trolled or cornered!

### As the predator of a Snowy Owl

* Head to the arctic, this is where its only food is.
* If a Snowy Owl is hunting for Lemmings underground, it is a perfect time to ambush it if you are a predator.
	+ However, the Snowy Owl has a slight vision advantage underground, so if you don't have night vision, it may see you before you can attack it.
* Since there's Penguins in the Ice Castle, you can take a peek in there to try to trap one.
* As a Mad Bat, you deal little damage to Snowy Owls. The only way you'll have a good chance at killing one is in the underground system. If you can, congratulations, they're your best source of XP.
* Remember that it is extremely annoying to the players as they cannot run away due to their limited food locations, so it would be cruel to kill one.
* If you see a Snowy Owl underground in a dead-end, then you can go eat them, beware though, if a troller is not letting them go, and if you aren't a Phoenix (to make them burn and die from further away), then you too could get trolled and that might be a game over to dehydration or to the hands of a Ghostly Reaper that barges in and kills everyone.
