The **Walrus** is a tier 8 arctic animal and the Arctic equivalent of the Snowy Owl, Cobra, Giraffe, Stingray and Camel. It was introduced on December 26, 2016.

## Technical

* Upgrades from the Muskox, Donkey, Zebra, Turtle or Warthog at 25K XP.
* Upgrades to the Snow Leopard, Cheetah, Gorilla, Toucan, Pufferfish or Rattlesnake at 40K XP.
* It can consume most food sources in the game. The only food it cannot consume is the conch, clam, cactus, whole aloevera, coconut, banana, and large meat.
* Prey of the Walrus includes all animals within the range of tiers 7 to 3 (Muskox to Penguin).
* Predators of the Walrus includes all animals within the range of tiers 9 to 17 (Snow Leopard to Black Dragon).
* The Special Ability of the Walrus is "Slide On Ice". This ability allows the Walrus to be boosted on ice by holding `W` whenever it is on a patch of ice, though it will still have less control over turning. As this ability only works when the Walrus is on ice, it technically has no cooldown.
* The Passive Abilities of the Walrus include being able to climb on hills and rocks, as well as faster movement on all water sources.
* With the exception of the small hiding hole, the Walrus can use all other types of Hiding Spots.

## Appearance

### Walrusmelon

The Walrusmelon is the 2021 Summer skin of the Walrus. It is dark green with even darker stripes. It has prominent lighting on its head and body, making it seem globular; its body is supposed to be a whole watermelon. Its muzzle is a little darker with light yellow tusks. Its eyes are purple with some lighting. The Walrusmelon has red-violet watermelon slices for fins and two long wavy leaves for its tail. The body shape is more similar to the Gold Trim version rather than the original Walrus.

While sliding on ice the Walrus's expression appears to gain a smile. Its side flippers will tuck closer together.

### Candy Rus

The Candy Rus is the 2020 Halloween skin of the Walrus. It has a very similar body shape to the Gold Trimmed Walrus, but it is bright pink with a hot pink swirl on its body. It has highlights to the upper left of its body. Its underside is darker. The Candy Rus has darker circles around its eyes stretching downwards to the snout. Its snout is vibrantly pink, and two lighter tusks are located beneath it. The body shape is more similar to the Gold Trimmed version rather than the original Walrus.

### Gold Trim

The Gold Trim Walrus is paler, with much larger eyes and a smaller muzzle. The muzzle is coated with ice. Two golden tusks peek out from underneath. It has gold splattered on its underside and flippers that point downwards. The small amount of webbing on the flippers is also golden. Its tail is more U-shaped than the normal Walrus.

### Old (S1)

The high-definition Walrus is a decently sized maroon animal with a small head and a pair of webbed long flippers facing towards the back of its body. Its head has two small beady eyes, a muzzle, and two short yellow tusks curving inwards. The Walrus has folds and rolls of fat behind its head. The body is smaller toward the the tail, resembling a pear. Its tail is a large v-shaped tail flipper.

### Classic Skin

The Classic Walrus has a circular maroon body with two side flippers and a V shaped tail. It also has two dots as nostrils on the front of its face, large black eyes, and two long canary yellow tusks.

## Strategy

Go to lakes and eat Ducks there. Use your passive ability to move fast in water to get rid of any competing animals, or evade predators. Ideally, eat Geese. They will try to attack you, but lose their health in the process and be eaten by you. An alternative is to eat red mushrooms, Arctic Nuts and Pears. Either of the three will help you level up very fast.

At this tier, prey isn't really worth going for. Seals are potential sources of prey, since they have the same capabilities, except climb slower on hills. Muskoxes will provide the most substantial XP, but can be harder to catch since they turn better on ice. However, by all means chase one if one is on low health, or if you work together with another Walrus/Snowy Owl to eat them.

If a predator does try to eat you, either go to ice and outrun them, seek refuge on a rock (hardly any Arctic animals can climb rocks), or go to a lake where most animals are slow in water. Beware of the Markhor, as they can climb rocks and their ability can be deadly and cause bleeding.

### Against a Walrus

The Walrus can be a hard target, if not pursued in the best way. Since they do well on ice and water, they are equipped well for hunting and fleeing.

If you are prey to the Walrus, climb Trees since they can't get there. Almost all other alternatives will do no good, except fleeing to a Mud patch in the Land biome. If your animal has good grip on ice, evade the Walrus by constantly turning/chanigng directions. Don't move straight as they can slide to catch up to you easily!

As a predator, you need to limit the options for them. Steer the Walrus away from rocks and ice, and closer to lakes. You'll have the most chance of catching them in a lake, where they can be overcome by climbing trees and out-swimming them if your animal is a good swimmer.
