Eleplant

The **Eleplant** is the first VIP animal.

## Appearance

The Eleplant shares a similar body template to the African Elephant, with pale brown skin coated in a green layer of foliage on its torso. Leaves are especially prominent on its legs and back, ruffling outwards. Darker, richer green leaves make up its ears and cover its head. Its tusks are brown tree branches, complete with a couple of small leaves stemming from each. The Eleplant releases a trail of translucent leaf-like particles.

## Requirements

* Spend enough real money in the game to reach VIP level 1 (amount varies per country and currency).

## Abilities

* Ride for an extra 4s before Eleplant gets angry
* Allows Eleplant to smash through rocks
* Get bonus coins by smashing obstacles on Eleplant

1. ↑ **Note:** The ability is an improvement on those of upgraded elephants, which the Eleplant is based on.

## Behaviour

* **When ridden:** The Eleplant moves at a rapid constant rate, and is able to smash rocks and trees. It cannot smash other elephants or similar extra large animals.
* **When angry:** The Eleplant stops and throw the player off using its trunk, sending them approximately 50m in the direction that they were facing.
* **In habitat:** The Eleplant mostly walks around and sometimes uses its trunk to pick up grass.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** The Eleplant moves its trunk in an upward motion and wobbles its body from the base of its legs.

## Trivia

* The Eleplant is a pun on 'elephant', incorporating 'plant' by changing the 'h' to an 'l'. This sets up the overall plant theme of the Eleplant.
	+ The description plays on the dual meanings of "trunk": how it is both a solid central stem of a tree, and an elephant's mobile proboscis.

## Notes

* The Eleplant was released in version 1.24.0 on the 23rd of October 2019 on iOS and the 25th of October on Android, along with all pangolins, roosters, kirins and other VIP animals.
* In version 1.26.1 on the 17th of February 2020, the Eleplant gained abilities that made it equal to an upgraded elephant, with some improved attributes.
Animal Tiers

**Animal tiers** are tiers not explicitly stated in game but are a distinguishing feature between rarity of animals. Tiers can be definitively distinguished by the breeding time in the zoo when a 'match' is found, the one exception to this being the Cape Buffalo and the Zebra, whose breeding times are unique. Other less definitive distinguishing factors include XP given, what class of animal it is, where it can be obtained from and the order in which it comes out in the zoo.

The table of tiers is below.

**\* Note:** The order in which the animals come out of the shelter in the far left corner of each habitat was modified in version 1.7.0. Two random animals will appear in each habitat to begin with, however when the habitat is tapped, all other animals will appear in the correct order.

## Tiers

* Tier 1
* Tier 2
* Tier 3
* Tier 4
* Tier 5

1. ↑ The Trojan Zebra can only be found from Savannah 4 if the player begins on an epic or VIP animal.
2. ↑ The Anglerosaurus can only be found from Jurassic 5 onwards as the ankylosaurus habitat cannot possibly be upgraded to level 3 before this.
3. ↑ The Cant can only be found from Garden 2 onwards as the ant habitat cannot possibly be upgraded to level 4 before this.
4. ↑ The Pangoalin can currently be found from Great Wall 4 as it is bugged so that it can be found randomly in the stampede.

## About

This bonus rewarded players for riding in the stampede more. The game gave rewards for riding 17000m, 35000m and 50000m in total. The main incentive was to win a free animal, which was the prize for riding 50000m in total. The free animal could be any random animal that the player had not tamed before, excluding epic and VIP animals. But these animals **did** include purchase animals, which allowed players to obtain one for free.

	+ The Knightmaratops is one of five animals that reference a knight or a chevalier, the other four being the Ostri Chevalier, the Knight Hawk, the Knight Owl, and the Dolphin in Shining Armor.

* The Legend of Zebra was released on the 8th of September 2016 in version 1.2.0, along with all other Savannah, Jungle and Mountains level 9 animals.
Katydid

The **Katydid** is the third grasshopper in the game.

## Appearance

The Katydid is a pink variant of the Grasshopper, with hot pink wings, a velvet pink body and cool purple as the colour of the tips of its legs. Other than this it remains identical to the Grasshopper.

## Description

*It would look a lot like a leaf if it weren't bright pink.*

## Requirements

* Garden 1 unlocked.
* Grasshopper tamed.
* Ride past 800m in Garden.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is medium due to it being a tier 3 animal. It will appear in just over half the runs the player does, and never before 800m.

## Baby Katydid

* Lasso shrinks 6% slower
* Bucks are 6% smaller

## Trivia

* The Katydid's pink colour, referenced in the description, does exist in real life, with a genetic alteration causing a rare type of katydid to be pink as opposed to green.

## Notes

* The Katydid was released in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018 along with Garden and the first five Garden species.

Hog Rider

The **Hog Rider** is the sixth type of boar. Like all other boss animals, the player can only initially befriend it by completing a minigame called a boss mission, but after it has been befriended it can be found naturally in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Hog Rider has an identical body to the Wild Boar, with its only differences being that its head features a dull deep blue marking on it and that it wears clothes. Its clothes consist of a dusty cream coloured shirt and a dull brown pair of pants. A black line just below the waist of the pants, possibly representing a belt, goes around its body. The Hog Rider's right ear features a silver cowbell-like ear piercing, its right leg has a silver bangle around it and its right trotter looks to be cast in iron.

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 1 or greater.
* Wild Boar tamed.
* Unlock (see how to unlock boss mission here) and complete Hog Rider boss mission (tips for completion are below). From here it can be found in Jungle permanently.
* To be found in the stampede: Ride past 1800m in Jungle.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 1800m.

## Tips for Boss Mission

The Hog Rider boss mission consists of the player riding a Wild Boar and finding the Hog Rider travelling at high speed, with the stampede consisting of some obstacles but mainly water patches with many alligators. First, the player must get close enough (about 15m behind the Hog Rider is recommended) to jump onto the Hog Rider without failing, while evading the jaws of alligators. Then, the player must evade series after series of alligators, with it being recommended to avoid them completely or trick them by approaching by one side and quickly moving to the other when they attempt to eat the player. In some sections, there are almost hallways of alligators, in which the easiest way to avoid those is to go straight in the middle.

## Baby Hog Rider

* Jump from animals 8% faster
* Missions give 10% more coins

## Trivia

* The Hog Rider is a reference to the Harley Owner's Group, or H.O.G., who are a group who are Harley-Davidson motorcycle enthusiasts. "Hog" is also a name given to any Harley-Davidson motorcycles. This plays on a boar in that a hog is another word for a pig, and a boar is similar to a pig.
	+ The description supports this reference, with "hit[ting] the open road" being a commonly used phrase among motorcycle enthusiasts.
	+ The appearance may be a reference to Imperator Furiosa from the film *Mad Max: Fury Road*.
	+ The Hog Rider is not a reference to the Hog Rider from Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, despite popular belief.
	+ The Baby Hog Rider's abilities relating to speed reference the speed of a Harley-Davidson motorbike.

## Notes

* The Hog Rider was released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all original Savannah animals, Jungle and all other original Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.

Dreamy Trip Season 12

Dreamy Trip Season 12 was the twelfth season of the Dreamy Trip. It ran from the 8th of September 2023 to the 27th of September 2023.

## About

This season's theme was about farms. During the run the player had to collect **sunflowers** as this season's token, either by riding on the animals for a period of time or by collecting the tokens on the ground. The season's tokens did not spawn in the normal stampede, and instead, the player had to collect them in the Farmland sub-zone.

## Sub-Zone

In the Farmland sub-zone, the player was required to ride the wild Season 12 animals for an extended period of time to be granted sunflowers, all of which giving the player 1 sunflower when ridden for a period of time. Alternatively, the player could collect bouncing sunflowers with presents in them to collect 1 sunflower. If the player had a Silver Trip, they could only play a total of 5 times, the first 3 for free, the latter 2 requiring the player to watch an ad to play. If the player had a Golden Trip, they could play in the Farmland map infinitely.

## Trivia

* Savannah secret animals could be spawned in this sub-zone.

Durian Beetle

The **Durian Beetle** is the seventh beetle. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their beetle habitat to level 5 or higher.

## Appearance

The Durian Beetle has green legs, antennae and a green face. Its shell is coloured terracotta, with two large, pyramidal spikes on either side. A short stalk that is both darker and thinner at the base sits just ahead of the armoured wing area, which features beige and white segments, representing the inside of a durian.

## Description

*Just beat the stink bug and dung beetle for the "World's Smelliest Beetle" award.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Garden 4 or greater.
* Beetle tamed.
* Beetle habitat upgraded to level 5 or higher.
* Ride past 1600m in Garden.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 1600m.

## Baby Durian Beetle

* Rare animals appear 9% more often
* Eating animals is 9% more effective

## Trivia

* The Durian Beetle is a play on a durian, a fruit renowned for being spiky and incredibly pungent in smell.
	+ The Durian Beetle's description references this, with the scent potentially being able to beat out dung beetles and even stink bugs when it comes to how bad they smell.
* The Baby Durian Beetle's ability where eating animals is 9% more effective is a reference to how durian is a kind of fruit.
* The beetle tough exoskeleton similar to the durian's outer shell may also be why the developers made this reference.
* The Durian Beetle is one of two animals based on a durian, the other being the Pandurian.

## Notes

* The Durian Beetle was released in version 1.16.0 on the 8th of May 2018 on Android and on the 10th of May 2018 on iOS, along with all other beetles, centipedes and butterflies.
	+ On iOS, all beetles, centipedes and butterflies were bugged, not appearing in the stampede up until version 1.16.1 on the 14th of May 2018.
Hydrasaurus

The **Hydrasaurus** is the eighth brontosaurus evident in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their brontosaurus habitat to level 9.

## Appearance

The Hydrasaurus, unlike other brontosauruses, has three heads and necks. Its dominant colour is a dull-ish cool blue, which coats the whole of the Hydrasaurus. Each of the Hydrasaurus' three heads has two wavy horns which stretch backwards, and a webbed fin stretching from just behind the base of its horns to two-thirds of the way down its neck. The Hydrasaurus also sports wings, which do not move. Its wings are bent and have lighter blue webbing, as do its tail spines, similarly to its head fin. A small spine is attached to the end of the Hydrasaurus' tail.

## Description

*They say two heads are better than one. The Hydrasaurus took it to the extreme.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 3 or greater.
* Brontosaurus tamed.
* Brontosaurus habitat upgraded to level 9.
* Ride past 2200m in Jurassic.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 2200m.

## Baby Hydrasaurus

* Ridden animals are 5% slower
* Jump from animals 10% higher

## Trivia

* The Hydrasaurus is a portmanteau of 'hydra' and 'brontosaurus', which is reflected in its appearance.
* The Hydrasaurus plays on the saying "two heads are better than one", as well as the Hydrasaurus and hydras in mythology having three or more heads.

## Notes

* The Hydrasaurus was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
* The Hydrasaurus was originally called the 'Hydra', however this was changed after the release of the Hydra, the base animal of the species hydra, in version 1.12.1 on the 14th of November 2017. The description, however, was not changed and still referenced the Hydrasaurus as the "Hydra'.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.

Evil Dragon

The **Evil Dragon** is the fourth Chinese dragon in zoo order. It can be found in the stampede after the player upgrades their Chinese dragon habitat to level 5 or higher.

## Appearance

The Evil Dragon has a body similar to that of the Chinese Dragon, except its body is coloured in dark purple gradients. Its head is coloured in a lighter purple, and its horns, whiskers and mouth are coloured pink. It has a prominent pair of gargoyle-like dark purple wings that grows from both side of its body.

## Requirements

* Great Wall 1 unlocked.
* Chinese Dragon tamed.
* Chinese dragon habitat upgraded to level 5 or higher.

## Baby Evil Dragon

* Jump from animals 10% higher
* Missions give 10% more coins

## Trivia

* The Evil Dragon does not appear to reference any evil dragons in particular, rather, reflect the general theme of evil dragons.

## Notes

* The Evil Dragon was released in version 1.22.0 on the 28th of January 2019 along with Great Wall and the first five Great Wall species.
Drop Bear

The **Drop Bear** is the first variety of drop bear that is obtainable, and possibly the first animal that the player befriends in Outback.

## Appearance

The Drop Bear is small in size, and is mostly dark grey. It has sharp grey claws on its front paws, and its dominant colour of grey fades to white at the bottom of its arms. It walks on all four legs, with its back legs being longer than its front. It has a white belly and white ears with frills at the end of each. Its head is wide, and features eyes that give a menacing feel, a round nose and a pink mouth with four sharp white teeth.

## Description

*Aggressive carnivorous marsupials that leap from trees and rocks to prey upon unwary tourists.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 1 or greater.
* Ride in Outback (found perched in trees, jumping down towards the player when the player is in range).

## Trivia

* The Drop Bear's name and appearance is based off the myth of the drop bear, rumoured to jump off trees and consume people and animals travelling through the Outback, the harsh desert centre of Australia.
	+ When European settlers observed koalas, they believed that they were the 'drop bears' that had been the cause behind disappearances in the Outback. The description plays on this.
* The Drop Bear appears in the Conan the Baabaarian boss mission.

## Notes

* The Drop Bear was released in version 1.3.0 on the 13th of October 2016 along with Outback and all other Outback species.
Forest Buffalo

The **Forest Buffalo** is the second type of buffalo, and can be obtained after the player befriends the Zebra.

## Appearance

The Forest Buffalo, like the Cape Buffalo, looks like a smaller, regular real-life forest buffalo, with dirty-white horns beginning more vertically and then upwards, a brown body, legs that gradually fade to peanut brown, a brown nose, dark brown hooves and a brown tail with a yellowish-white tip.

## Description

*A leaner breed of buffalo that prefers to hide among the trees.*

## Requirements

* Cape Buffalo tamed.
* Ride past 150m in Savannah.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is high but not guaranteed due to it being a tier 2 animal. It will appear often but not necessarily in every run, and never before 150m.

## Trivia

* The description is a reference to the Forest Buffalo's real life counterpart, an African forest buffalo, and its behaviour.
	+ The Forest Buffalo is one of four animals that reference a real life buffalo, the other three being the Cape Buffalo, the Water Buffalo and the Bison.
* The Forest Buffalo had a different description in version 0.1.0 in the soft launch. It was previously "A smaller variety of buffalo, which is brown like the trees.".

## Notes
