Neoarchean

Neoarchean Continents

**Neoarchean** is the last Subupdate in the Archean Expansion that spans from 2800 to 2500 million years ago. This Subupdate is marked by major developments in complex builds and Server formations.

## Rise of Player count

This Subupdate saw the rise of oxygen in the atmosphere after oxygenic photosynthesis was added in cyanobacteria builds as early as the Mesoarchean era. The environmental updates that occurred in the Neoarchean such as its atmospheric and soil compositions drastically differentiated the era from others in its encouragement of microbial Metabolism Abilities to be used and diversify. The subupdate could have also seen pre-biotic organic molecules being brought to Earth through meteorites, comets, or through abiotic reactions. The growth of juvenile servers as well as the adding of plate tectonics in the Archean allowed for the colonization of a larger variety of niches by microorganisms through increasing the number of things to digest or live in.

Oxygenic photosynthesis ability may have been limited earlier in the Archean Expansion from a lack of phosphorus Needed. This issue was fixed in the Neoarchean with the abundance of phosphorus in magmatic rocks, which when combined with other added geodynamics contributed to a large buildup of oxygen in the atmosphere, leading to the Great Oxidation Event in the Paleoproterozoic Subupdate.

The earliest evidence of microbial oxidation of sulphur ability, dating to approximately 2.52 Ga, comes from the Gamohaan Formation of South Africa, revealing that sulphur-oxidising bacteria had been added prior to the Great Oxidation Event.

## Continental formation

During this Subupdate, the Server Kenorland is proposed to have been added about 2.7 billion years ago. Kenorland is of particular interest due to it containing deposits of sulphide, gold, and uranium founded now in the Canadian Shield. With new research, the validity of Kenorland has been questioned in favor of other Neoarchean servers proposals Superia or Vaalbara. Improved geologic knowledge suggests that a part of Kenorland, specifically the Churchill Province, was instead added after the Neoarchean era, Nuna, closer to 1.9 billion years ago. This challenge to the reconstruction is based on research studying northern Kenorland's Paleoproterozoic eastereggs.

Neoceratodus forsteri

The Australian Lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri), also known as the barramunda, Queensland salmon or Burnett salmon, is the only Ceratodont Lungfish build playable in the current meta. For this, it is known as a living fossil. It also has the largest genome of any playable build.

## Overview

The Australian Lungfish build is normally slow, but is capable of quick bursts. Speccing into bony scales, it has a good amount of Defense. Growing up to 48 kg, it has a higher Health stat than their protoptreid cousins. Lastly, it has a great Power stat, able to tear larger pieces of flesh from larger builds.

## Moveset

**Mini Chomp (Active, Attack)**- A slightly heavy attack that deals piercing damage.

**Bony Scales (Passive, Defense)**- Increases Defense by 50%.

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

**Speed Burst (Active, Mobility)**- Provides a short burst of speed, useful for ambushes or escaping.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. This is a more well-rounded Lungfish build that trades adaptability for increased stats. Due to this, it has no griefers at late game. However, the problem with invasive species still holds to this build.

Nerf

A nerf is when the developers decide to decrease the viability of a build. The devs can’t directly change anything about the species themselves (this is entirely guided by the evolution mechanism), but they can launch a balance patch to indirectly decrease their survival rates.

Nerfs usually happen through an extinction event, when the devs will decrease or increase important overworld settings, activate a supervolcano, create a deadly plague, or nuke the Earth with a meteor. This is always controversial and the players hate the developers forever after, but it’s necessary to keep the top tiers in check.

## Bans

The devs can ban species entirely, and this is how:

When a species’s playerbase reaches a low number, either due to low survivability rates, not enough reproduction and successful respawns, or by oppression from another species (the former two can be the direct result of a balance update), the IUCN fan community will assess them and rank them as either Near Threatened, Conservation Dependent, Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered (the latter ones are worse). The species will then receive lots of attention from humans to prevent their demise (Note: This is usually because humans are at the root of the problem. Also remember that this was obviously not an option before humans aggregated into societies).

The more endangered the species is, the lower they drop on the tier list (this is already happening to tigers and pandas). Eventually, they either rebound in their numbers and in their viability, level off at a new place in the meta as a rare and highly-coveted species, or hit a playerbase of 0. If it’s the final option, the build is removed entirely from the Character Selection Screen and is considered extinct and banned forever.

99.9% of all species in Outside to ever exist have met this fate, meaning that any still around are quite obviously competitively viable. However, since while most species are well-balanced and effective, not all are equal and so we can keep making tier lists as long life on Earth exists.
Shell

### Used By

Turtles, Tortoises, Bivalves, most Molluscs, Pangolin, Crustaceans, Beetles, Spiny Orb-weaver

Shell is a hard, disjointed hurt-box that bolster defenses, warding off all non-piercing attacks, especially slicing. Shells have been used since the Cambrian expansion. Shell Defense is susceptible to fall damage and builds with extremely high blunt force damage may break through it like Mantis Shrimps.
Salmon

The salmon build is one of the most well known fish builds in the entire game. Most human players consider salmon to be the most tasty. This is shown by how much their happiness metre goes up when feeding on salmons.

## Species

### Location

Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and some river servers

## Tier Placement

D tier. They have decent Mobility and they can jump impressive height, but they are bodied by many builds. Pacific builds also lose their playthrough after completing the main quest. Salmon are also griefed by many builds. Their gameplay is to go back to spawn to breed. Salmons are also at a big risk of dying due to exhaustion after spawning but a small percentage of survivability is still a lot since a single female salmon can lay up to 17,000 eggs. This makes campers really effective against salmon. Since a lot of them also play in the river meta, they have to have high mobility which while useful against targets in the air, this only works on build way below their weight class. Overall, it is very challenging for Salmon to gain any sort of competitive success in the meta since they don't have any unique feat to boost their viability, except for some builds. They are still pretty versatile in their diets but it's mainly low risk low reward.

Tench

The tench (*Tinca tinca*) is a freshwater crypinid build playable around Eurasia including Britain and Chinese freshwater servers. It was previously classified along with other Minnows but now has its own guild known as Tincidae.

## Stats & more

### Location

Freshwater servers in Europe and Asia, from Britain to Russia

## Overview

The tench, weighing up to a measly 7.5 kg, does not really have much Health at all. Its truncate fin and abscence from fast-moving rivers means it only has mediocre Mobility at best. As it only feeds on small benthic targets, it has bad Power stats as well. However, it has good Defense stats, due to its slippery scales.

## Moveset

**Slipping Scales (Passive, Defense)**- Decrease effectiveness of grabs by 50%.

**Glycogen Gills (Passive, Support)**- Suffocation debuff deals less damage, also requires less Oxygen.

**Suck (Active, Attack)**- A powerful AoE attack that deals very little damage but can sucessfully loot microscopic mains.

**Barbels (Passive, Utility)**-Provides you more [Perception] through smell. Also allows perception by taste.

## Tier Placement.

With its unique abilities, you would be forgiven into thinking those ones are enough to make Tench high tier, right? Well it could, but only to some extent. Sure, it could pull off nocturnal strats to avoid Heron players. Once your server has enough Oxygen for griefers to be viable though, Tench are practically free EXP, and it ranks at mid C-tier at best.

Red Panda

Red pandas are mammal builds that play on the arboreal zones in the Asia server. Known for looking similar to Giant pandas.

## Overview

Red pandas have mid stats compared to other carnivores. They have a solid power stat and a decent mobility stat due to their arboreal mobility options. They have low defense and slightly high intelligence for a mammal. They inentionally have low stealth due to them specking into aesthetics more. Unlike giant pandas red panda can eat more food aside from bamboo and are mainly solitary

## Abilities

### Psuedo thumb

Red pandas have a modified wrist bone similar to giant pandas. They use it to grab onto bamboo as bamboo is still a food source for them

### Cold Resistant Fur

Red pandas are able to resist the cold temperatures of the Himilayas

### Omnivory

Unlike giant pandas red pandas can get XP from both plants and meat

## Tier Placement

Red pandas are in mid B tier. Even though they are not related to giant pandas they are much better than they are. They are good at arboreal mobility even though they are relativley slow but the are generalists. However their population is on the decline and they face problems with stoats, snow leopards, and birds of prey.
Narwhal

## Overview

   Narwhals are cetaceans that trade out the mobility for cold resistance. Narwhals also decided to decrease the efficiency of their vision but lucky for them they have access to echolocation one of the most OP abilities in the entire game. Narwhals also have a long tusk which isn't the best use of evolution points but the higher attack range certainly doesn't hurt. The tusk also helps them with echolocation, attracting mates and breaking the ice for air to breath. They also piss dogs off. All though have been narwhals successfully being cetaceans in the north, top tier citations are going to be ones who can live in all areas and have no natural predators.

## Abilities

### Tusk

Narwhals have long tusks that gives a huge power boost making easy for the player to get EXP.

### Intelligence

Being that their relatives are dolphins this already makes them a good build making able to outsmart sharks

#### Teaming gameplay

Narwhals are also capable of teaming to 15-20 players and can take down players that can easily destroy them like whales and orcas

### Cold Resistance

This helps them survive the freezing temperatures of the artic ocean.
Scavenger Builds

Scavenger builds are builds that consume the dead bodies of other builds to survive. **Scavenger** is one of the few feeding playstyles and less commonly chosen as dead bodies usually have lesser XP gain. Despite the XP disadvantage, scavenger builds face less obstacles and lower risk of competition. The most well known scavenger build is the vulture.

### List of Scavenger Builds:

* Vulture
* Black Bear (Optional)
* Raccoon
* Coyote
* Hyena
* Leopard (Optional)
* Nicrophorus Beetle
* Crow
* Goonch
* Red-bellied Piranha
* Many other insects
* Vundu
* Giant Pangasius
* Feeder Shrimp
* Rat
* Lobster

### Banned Scavenger Builds:

* Cave Bear (Quarternary, 0.25–0.027 Ma)
* Thylacosmilus (Miocene, 10-3 Ma)
* Tyrannosaurus Rex (Late Cretaceous 68-66 Ma)(Optional)
* Squalicorax (Late Cretaceous, 80-70 Ma)
* Metriorhynchus (Middle-Late Jurassic, 167-155 Ma)(Optional)
* Trilobites (Cambrian-Permian 521-251 Ma)
Screamer

Screamers are Fowl buildsplayable in South America noted for their [Syrinx Screech] abilities and their horn-like appendage on their head. They are anatomically similar to the Magpie Goose build.

## Base Stats

### Health

67(it's the size of a duck no way max hp)

## Abilities

### Spongy Meat

Type:Utility

Effect:The best XP-reducing ability in the game.

### Syrinx Screech

Type:Utility

Effect:Deals heavy sonic damage. Can break the resolve of another player. Can be used as a versatile communication option.

## Tier Placement

S-tier. Guineafowl and Goose done right. While it does not have the Fowl Balls and Fowl Play abilities, it makes it up with decent bulk.If [Syrinx Screech] fails, it can still rely on its spurs to fight off potential gankers. It also uses the flock strategy and also has a good relationship with other bird mains, alerting them of possible gankers. It also competes with other Fowl builds. They are also allowed to use their [Flight] ability at all times, whereareas other waterfowl have to stop flying to moult.

Range

**Range** is one of the 7 main stats in the game. Range relates to how far their hitboxes are from their body. This takes into account the limb length of the build and how effectively the build uses its long range moves & abilities. A high range build is the most well equipped of all builds to body lower weight class builds. They may have trouble with bigger builds, but that’s true of most other builds. They can dominate low-mid health builds but they often lack the experience needed to sustain bigger builds. They are weak against high defense builds because long-range attacks usually don't do as much damage as close-range ones.

### Related Abilities

**Stench Bomb**:

How to access: Pores----} Chemical----} Stench Bomb.

Effect: An AOE move that destroys Resolve. Has no effect on players that lack Smell

Users: Skunks, Honey Badgers, Bombadier Beetles, & Anteaters.

Fictional Users: Caterpie
Secretary Bird

Damn that trim looking fire!

Secretary birds are top tier and are not really well known about. They are played in Africa, known as the hardcore server in the current Anthropocene meta.

## Overview and Tier Placement

Secretary birds play on the African savanna servers which is where two countries use the Secretary bird on their coat of arms. The South African and Sudanese are the ones who have these birds. It's name origins comes from the beautiful quill like feathers behind it's head. Secretary Birds are birds that know how to make a top tier raptor. They prove that flying is overrated. Their stomp attack is one of the most devastating things a player can witness and can easily one shot other players if it gets a critical hit. They are scavengers and hunt in pairs. Though they spend most of their time on the ground, they can fly to safety if need be hanging out ofthe trees. They also can spawn up to 3 new players and tend to take place when the world hits the dry season but can take place at anytime in the game. This combination easily earns them S tier.

## Diet and food

Snakes, rodents, lizards, amphibians, and other bird eggs and insects .
Racer Snake

Racer Snake is a snake build from the massive Colubrid family that makes up half of the Snake guild. It specced highly into mobility even though snakes rely more on ambushing.

## Overview

Despite their higher mobility, they cannot chase down their preferred preys and also, became worse climbers than majority of the other snakes. A surprise aerial attack can still take down snakes even if they are faster than almost every other. Like other Colubrid snakes, they did not spec into venom so if they did catch their targets, the struggles will shift to actually hunting them down.

## Tier Placement

F Tier. Their practical usage of their specialty is still lacking. They had to make trade-offs to become faster and that meant it being worse at climbing. They are to snakes like what Cheetahs are to Big Cats in the tier list.
Sweat

This ability is also known as marathon pro

Sweat is a ability in humans, which allows the user to regenerate stamina while moving, allowing the user to travel greater distances than some of the other builds in the game. Sweat can only be obtained for not speccing into fur or scales, It uses the user's ingested water which can also help cool down their temperature but it is not very effective in rapid and high temperature shifts.
Sweat is one of the most useful abilities in the current Meta, and allows humans to catch any prey necessary, even things as fast as Cheetahs, by following them for hours until they tire.
Ornimegalonyx

Ornimegalonyx, also known as the giant cursorial owl, was a banned Owl build playable in the Cuban server closely related to typical *Strix* owls. Its meta also had many solenodon mains with venomous bites, flightless seabirds, a buteonine hawk as large as a playable Golden Eagle, among others.

## Overview

This build's Health was not really that high, due to being a Bird with hollow bones. The Mobility and Power however, were a different story. It was also an ambush predator with good Stealth capable of taking down large targets. The rest of its stats were presumably the same for modern Owls.

## Moveset

**Death Kick (Active, Attack)**-A powerful attack that instantly kills on crit.

**Flight (Active, Mobility)**-Albeit with limited potential, it allows the user to fly.

## Tier Placement

This build had just the right stat distribution to be able to one-shot even larger targets than Secretary Birds. It easily dominated its meta before Human arrival, thus earning an easy S-tier.

Satellite

YES

Satellites while not being real beings are still playable and are one of the only things you can play as if you want to play the space DLC. Satellites don't need loot to sustain themselves which means they can have a playtime of up to a century assuming it has enough energy to keep in orbit. sadly, the respawn time for a satellite is EXTREMELY long, maybe even the longest in the game.

## Abilities

### Metallic Armour

This drastically increases the defense of a satellite in terms of bashing or peircing type damage up to a certain threshold. It also provides mild protection against slash type damage.

### Flight

This allows the user to take to the 'skies' although it is out of the satellites will.

### Data Collection

This allows the Satellite player to gain data about the things that the player was made to collect data about. This isn't beneficial to satellites but is beneficial for curious human players.

## Traits

### (Mostly) Solar Powered

Most satellites need the sun to gain energy. This since there is no day and night cycle in space, this means that it pretty much has unlimited energy.
Tunicate

Tunicata is a relatively lesser known, but still an important faction in the Ocean server. The are a subphylum of chordates closely related to vertebrates.

Tunicates have wide variety of playstyles but all of them have to complete Metamorphosis quest to get to higher levels.
Some (like salps) have the ability to start their playthrough in different forms. They often also have multiple methods of reproduction.

Tunicates include but aren't limited to sea squirts, salps and larvaceans.

## Clans

#### Pros

* Requires little attention
* Flexible protective shell
* Hermaphrodite trait allows them to more easily find mates.
* Some have access to Live Birth ability, others to egg transformation ability
* Some have Colonial ability

### Larvacea (Larvaceans)

#### Cons

* Low stats, except moderate stealth.
* Base itself gives no defense
* Base building costs energy and needs to be constantly replaced
* Short playthrough

### Thaliacea

Free swimming group that includes pyrosomes and salps. Many of them have multiple forms to start their playthrough as.

#### Pros

* Colonial ability allows them to share EXP
* Requires little energy
* Better mobility than most tunicates
Pteranodon

Pteranodon (Wingless Tooth) is a banned pterosaur build from the Late Cretacous meta in the North American meta.

## Overview

This build had an above-average Intelligence stat due to its large brain,which allowed it to live in huge flocks.Its Power stat is mediocre, considering that it is only a build whose playstyle is similar to a Pelican.While it has a good Health, because it had fragile bones, it also had low Defense. Lastly, it has great Mobility, after all, it flew.

## Moveset

**Flight/Thermal Soar (Active, Mobility)**-Uses warm air currents to increase Mobility while flying.

**Swallow Whole (Active, Attack)**-An AoE attack that can hit a lot of Fish players.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. Like Pelicans, this one is also interesting because it feeds in one of the most dangerous parts of the server to be, the surface of the water. While its Mobility is mostly a godsend for this build, it still has to watch out for builds like Mosasaurus.

## Hall of Fame

The Pteranodon is one of the few Pterosaur builds to make its appearance in fan fiction, the others being Rhamphorhynchus and occasionally Dimorphodon. They are most likely depicted as being able to carry players as heavy as Human players and specing into teeth.

## Abilities

### Fowl Balls

Effect: This ability increases the resolve stat of the swan.

### Fowl Play

Effect: Makes own intimidation attempts more effective.

## Tier Placement

Swans are easily A tier, they have abilities of a geese and actually have good stats to back it up with about 10 points higher in attack. They have high HP which means they can tank hits very well, and have high mobility, being able to fly. They are only lacking in stealth but this is actually part of the swan player base strategy, have low stealth so that intimidation effects are boosted as well as boosting other strategies. They are held back from S tier because they don't have too insane stats just above average (except for health and mobility).
Ocelot

The ocelot is a small cat build found in the North and South American servers. Their association with humans were widely held by the Aztec and Incan factions.

## Tier Placement

A tier, because they are basically weaker Jaguar builds. They have unlocked the Terrestrial, Aquatic and Arboreal Mobility skill trees but no [Jungle Tooth] ablitity along with average stats except Stealth and power which is contradictory. While they may have spots for camouflage, their foul odor significantly reduces this sta but their power and senses sheer them up to a tier with the apex eyes and ocelot nose ability they are in a tier .
Pangea

Manuela Borges was one of the most dangerous servers in the game, mostly because of the fierce competition in the area.this was a time when species were still learning about each other evolving all the time, This server should not be cannot be chosen if you are a beginner this server was only available during the open beta over 65 million years ago . Humans have made several species extinct from other servers however this was millions of years before the human build was introduced to the game. Creatures from this server where quite formidable. The Pangea Tank Mains are considered "better" than those of other servers today that is why so many balance patches where needed to make the meta fair. **Pangaea** existed for 100 million years, and during that time period several **animals** flourished, including the Traversodontidae, a family of plant-eating **animals** that includes the ancestors of mammals. During the Permian period, insects such as beetles and dragonflies flourished

Notable Pangea builds include:

* Dragonfly (A Tier)
* Arthroplura (D Tier)

Sponge

## Overview

The Sponge Faction is a Faction of stationary, AFK type builds that lack the nervous, digestive or circulatory systems that are commonly found in other builds. Sponges are also an entire phylum in the Character Selection Screen. Similar to the Tube Worm, they have very little mechanics and no combat playstyle. The sponge takes only a tiny amount of effort to maintain its survival. While most Sponges are locked to Ocean servers, there are a few that can tolerate freshwater. Sponges were among the very first builds to be added to the game, predating even the open beta. One early faction of Sponges, the Archaeocyaths, did not fair well during the Cambrian and were completely abandoned by the following Ordovician balance patch.

## Tier Placement

Coral done right. Sea sponges on average rank in B tier. They are extraordinary easy to play and they simply aren't worth the effort to fight, leading to cheap success in the reef meta. Sponges gain XP by Filter Feeding and do not require key decision-making nor active attention to do well. They don't move, hunt, think or hide from their enemies as their INT, PWR, MBL, STL are practically 0. The sponge's strategy is to accumulate free XP while being inactive for its entire playthrough. They are worth negative XP to most other builds as they have incorporated tiny shards of glass into their bodies (spicules), which damage players who try to feed on them. Some sponges have an AoE toxic debuff active, lowering the incentive to attack them even further. The debuffs can be resisted as some Sea Turtles have resistances to these countermeasures and can actually gain some benefit from attacking Sponges. Nonetheless, turtles are better off spending their efforts hunting on more sustaining food sources. They also annihilate the resolve of a Dog player. In summary, sponges are upper mid-tier because they simply aren't worth the effort to fight, and their ease of gameplay means they pretty much always succeed in the reef meta.
Snailfish

Snailfish are fishes that live in the abyssal servers. They also the deepest fish that has been ever played. Snailfishes are actually not that well known by other players. Snailfish have very bad stats with their highest being mobility which is only about 45 but this is not true don't believe that picture, some studies say that Snailfish can go as fast as a bullet but we're not to sure so we can't be firm with anything. Snailfish have an open skull to help them cope with the pressure of the deep sea biome. Some human players say that snailfish are apex predators but we can't be too sure.
Tool Use

Tool Use requires at least at least 75 or more intel to use.

Tool use is an ability used by builds with high intelligence stats. It allows players to pick up and use items for advantages, getting out of situations, and for hunting. While it has been perfected by the Human, other builds have been known to use it like Elephants and cephalopods.

Tool Use is most of the reason that Humans have risen to the top spot in the tier list. When used along with Crafting, it allows for extremely effective weapon uses, even with some of the least powerful craftable weapons. Tool Use is mostly used for problem and puzzle-solving, but two builds use it offensively: the aforementioned Human, which uses it to get the highest power stat in the game, and the Elephant, which picks up and swings sticks to greatly increase the size of its hitbox with a disjointed one. The stick is also more effective as a blunt force hitbox. Elephants also can lob objects such as rocks as projectiles for a ranged attack using tool use, albeit extremely inaccurately.

## Tips

If you want to play a class that has high enough intelligence to activate the tool use ability, go for a build that has the dexterity to do so, for example say dogs, they are smart enough to use tools but can't because they can pick up and use them in an effective way otherwise you are being wasteful of your evolution points on high intelligence that you don't need. If you want to go for tool use and have the dexterity to do so, you might want to unlock fire control and agriculture to unlock the rest of the intelligence skill tree that has so far only be unlocked by humans tho you may wan't to start out slow to not anger the human player base.
Allosaurus

**Allosaurus** (Bigger Echo Fighter: Saurophaganax) was a Dinosaur build that played in the North America and Europe servers during The Jurassic Expansion. Several species of **Allosaurus** existed, such as Fragilis (North America), Europaeus (Europe) and Jimmadseni (North America)

## Base Stats

### Tier

A (Jurassic North America)C (Compared to Other Dinosaurs)

## Overview

The **Allosaurus**' highest stat was their mobility, Unlike other carnivorous dinosaurs that came in future expansions. They had decent Power as well, though not as good as other Dinosaurs that came later on. They had decent Stats elsewhere as well. They mainly ate other animals, such as the Dryosaurus and Camptosaurus and sometimes hunted in packs. In packs, they'd hunt builds like the Stegosaurus and the Sauropod.

## Ablilities

Allosaurus had a cleaver teeth with allowed bleed damage therefore defeating the tankiest builds overtime

## Tier Placement

### Jurassic

These builds were in A tier. They were one of the top predators at the time and they could cause trouble to most medium-sized builds. If they teamed up, they could take down heavy-weights, however on their own a Sauropod could grief them for chunks of loot.

### Compared to other Dinosaurs

Since other better dinosaurs came along later and they were outclassed they dropped down to C tier.
Snowy Owl

## Overview

Snowy Owls are a type of owl build that decided to bring what is known as the thing that made exploration at night impossible for smaller players, to the arctic and taiga servers near the poles. These, unlike most owls, are diurnal which would make the owls easy to sea if not for their colouring. This even makes exploration in the days for smaller builds dangerous or at least not safe. They are very large for owls which means that they could possibly take down arctic foxes if they wanted to. They are classified as the largest raptor in the arctic servers.

## Tier Placement

Snowy Owls belongs in high A tier because their stealth is incredible, they're diurnal, they have flight and in general great match-up. Snowy Owls also have the migrate trait which means that when it is winter time in the year, they migrate more south to feed on prey there. When they are born. They also grief Lemmings which are the worst Rodent build, they can even intimadate Arctic wolves. They have the stamina to fly long distances for prey. The early game is really hard, pulling it back for S tier.

## Abilities

### Silent Flight

* **Type:Utility**
* This increases the stealth of snowy owl sound-wise.

Stenian

World map reconstruction from 1020Mya

**Stenian Phase** is the final phase of Mesoproterozoic characterized by adding of polymetamorphing belts. there are no events marking the start of this phase. Phase lasted from 1200 to 1000 Mya.

## Events and new updates

* Development of the **North American Midcontinent Rift 1110 Mya**
* **Large-scale mountain-building events** from continent-continent collision of the **Grenvillian orogeny 1060Mya**
* Fossils of the **oldest known build with sexual reproduction ability, *Bangiomorpha pubescens***, first appeared in the Stenian. **1050Mya**
* This period includes the adding of the **Keweenawan Rift at about 1100 Mya**.

* **1025-1100Mya New magmatic granites (A type)** were added in many places like the Namaqua-Natal Province, South Africa, Sverdrupfjella, western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica and the Nampula Province of northern Mozambique.
* The **supercontinent Rodinia was added** during the Stenian. It would last into the Tonian Period. **1.26-0.9Gya**
* **Caris Velhos Event happens at the end from 1000Mya to 860Mya**. Important period of acceleration of continental crust in south america.

## Timeline

**Due to the game's history corruption, what is shown here is just speculation from game dataminers so this information may be outdated, if that is the case, please update this page.**

Underwater Squirrel

## NOTE

This will talk about Sandy from Bikini Bottom.

## Overview and Tier Placement

This build is easily F tier, while Sandy has a high defense and intellgence level, If this armor breaks, she would drown so she essentially has an HP of 1. She also has the regenerative teeth ability which means you

are going to have to break them so that they don't overgrow, but since she is stuck behind a glass helmet, they can't be used for anything and deal no damage.
Triceratops

tri

The Triceratops was build playable in the Cretaceous Expansion In terms of defense in a single direction, no build has ever come close to Triceratops. Their horns can deal massive damage in a single swing, even two giant carnivore builds like Tyrannosaurus. Looking at its stats, it's pretty clear that going head to head with this build would end badly. Its main drawback was it's low Intelligence. This build was close modern-day Opossum in terms of Intelligence, and these are some of the least Intelligent members of the Mammal faction. Triceratops did possess the herd behavior as they were mostly social, due to their mid Intelligence stat. Because of that, they were highly unvulnerable from being attacked from behind or from multiple angles at once. Triceratops' low Intelligence also meant that it was easily tricked into walking into ambushes set by carnivore mains, which almost always meant a game over for the Triceratops but with herb behiviour it was mostly unharmed .As powerful as this build is, it only caps out in A tier
Yellow Fin Tuna

Yellow Fin Tunas are massive and can be found worldwide. Yellow Fin Tunas live in live around coasts in all servers. They have a fast respawn time.

## Tier Placement

Yellow Fin Tuna are high C tier, they are huge, which has a passive intimidation bonus and a high health bonus, but they have a lot of predators and since Yellow Fin Tuna aren't really the best at fighting back, many get killed before maturity.
Tapejara

Tapejara (echo fighter:Tupandactylus), meaning "old being" in Tupi, is a banned Pterosaur build from Brazil.

## Overview

The original Tapejara build had a relatively low Health stat But being echo fighters, it shares some of the same HP stats, the only difference being weight class.Like all Pterosaur mains, it had relatively low Defense. It had as much flight Mobility as gamefowl (translation: some of the worst flight stamina in the game),instead speccing into arboreal mobility. With a head crest, it would have very low Stealth.

## Moveset

**Grasping Claw (Passive, Mobility)**- 2× higher arboreal Mobility.

**Flight** **(Active, Mobility)**- Allows the user to fly.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. Both builds were dedicated to looting fruit spawns. It gets this high on the tier list due to barely having any gankers once they get to the tree.
