Land

The **Land** biome is one of the four main biomes currently existing in Mope.io, alongside the Ocean, Arctic and Desert. It is the normally largest biome, typically found at the center of the map, with many sub-terrain that can house many varieties of animals. The Land biome was introduced on October 4, 2016.

* The biome is located around or at the middle of the map on maps 1, 2, and 3. It is found to the left of the Ocean on map 4 and to the left of the Desert on map 5.
* The Land biome is made up primarily of dry land, with a light green color. In some areas of Land, patches of grass appear (visible only if "No Terrain Textures" is toggled off), as seen in the image on the right.
* Lakes and mud patches are two significant terrain forms; about 2-4 lakes are usually found in the Land biome, and typically around 6 to 8 mud patches.
* The most abundant food sources are Mushroom species, berries, and it is also common to see various bushes, Berry Bushes.

* Terrain forms that are exclusive to Land include:
	+ Mud: a patch of brown mud, that is home to multiple food sources. Animals that walk on it will become muddy (with some exceptions), slowing them down. Mud wears off a few seconds after exiting a mud patch, but will wear off a lot faster if an animal is in water.
* Other common features include hills/rocks and trees. Hills are obstacles that only certain animals can use, and the same applies for trees and rocks.
* The Land biome has a darker green strip located inside it. That strip is known as the Forest, a Land sub-biome.
* On maps 1, 2, 4, and 5, rivers intersect the Land biome.
* The Volcano generates in the Land biome on maps 1, 2, and 3.

## Sub-biomes

### Forest

*Main article: Forest*
The **Forest**, also referred to as **Timberland**, is the primary sub-biome within Land, and was added on March 3, 2020. It is distinctively portrayed as a darker green strip in comparison to the rest of the Land biome.

    For the most part, it is identical to the rest of Land except it has a great deal more trees in comparison and no hills or rocks. Trees are typically right next to each other to allow animals to walk from tree to tree in real time. As of now, the only animals that will specifically spawn in this sole area every time are the Tarsier, Chukar, Flying Lizard, Kakapo, Swinehoe, Raven, Turkey, and Bigfoot.

### Volcano

*Main article: Volcano*
The **Volcano** is a biome that generates within the Land biome on maps 1, 2, and 3. It was added on April 9, 2017. On the minimap, it appears as a large brownish circle. It contains dark brownish land, with big lava puddles surrounding the center of the Volcano. The core of the Volcano is an area in which Volcanic-dwelling animals are able to hide, but sometimes the core erupts, causing fireballs to spew out and for the hiding function to be temporarily disabled. Hills, rocks and trees also modestly populate this area. Currently, the Lava Toucan, Phoenix, Land Monster and Black Dragon belong, and will spawn in this biome. Those animals are distinct to the Volcano as they feed on lava in lieu of water.

## Trivia

* The Land biome is the first biome that was added to the game, since it covered the whole Map at the time of Mope.io's release.
* It is the only biome that has a permanent sub-biome on all maps.
* Out of all tiers, the Land biome has the most amount of tiers where multiple animals in one tier spawn in it.

### Notes

1. ↑ It should be noted that exceptions to this rule include the Cobra, Blackwidow Spider and Giant Spider, all of which are able to use small hiding holes despite being above tier 6.
