The **Forest** biome, also sometimes known as **Timberland**, is a sub-biome in Mope.io that is within the Land biome. It is chiefly characterised by its darker green appearance in contrast to Land's ground, and an abundance of trees. The Forest was added on March 3, 2020. In the "*Season 2*" update on February 1, 2022, the Forest biome was expanded to cover 1/3 of the Land biome rather than its previous ~1/8.

## Technical

* The Forest takes up 1/3 of the Land biome, and is normally located between the Volcano and Desert, with a river dividing it from the former. However, in some servers, the Forest biome is located on the northernmost side of the Land biome in between the Arctic and Volcano instead. For the majority of servers, though, the former situation applies.
* The area contains a lot of trees, and the ground is a darker shade of green than the rest of Land.
* All elements that spawn in the Land biome also appear in the Forest. The only exceptions are hills and rocks, which never spawn there.
* Once animals enter the Forest, their physical size appears to decrease by 20%, as does all general terrain and food forms. The size returns to normal when one is outside of the Forest's boundaries.
* While any animal that is part of the Land food chain can spawn by pure chance in the Forest, the Kakapo, the Raven, the Turkey and The Bigfoot are the only four animals that are exclusively a part of the Forest (they will only ever spawn in the specific area upon upgrading).

## Animals

*Main article: Tiers*
Though these animals are considered to belong to the Land biome, when selected on the upgrade menu they will specifically spawn in the Forest. To see the full food-chain in the Land biome, refer to the Land article.

### Notes

1. ↑ The Forest biome was originally called such when it was first added in the March 3, 2020 changelog entry. However, the October 2 changelog entry as well as a YouTube post from KOA referred to it as "Timberland". However, this biome is currently called "Forest" in the game files and on the upgrade menu.
2. ↑ Exceptions to this rule are the Cobra, Blackwidow Spider and Giant Spider, all of which are able to use small hiding holes despite being above tier 6.
