North America

South America

The cockroach is the largest cockroach found in houses. Despite its name, the cockroach is not native to North America, but was likely introduced via ships from Africa in the 1600s.

## Description

The 'Cockroach' is common name for hundreds of species of insects, all known for their hardiness, foul odor and oval shape. Cockroaches are often carriers of pestilence, spoiling their environments (at least as far as humans are concerned) with their excrement and stench, and their bite can transmit Plague. The filth left behind by these creature's passing can be noxious and dangerous to those who come into contact with it, and any creature without Keen Sense will not detect the presence of this Spoiled Land until they're standing in the middle of it. The large insectile wings beneath the Cockroach's shell allow it to fly short distances every so often as well, making for a quick getaway after laying a trap of Spoiled Land for enemies.
Coyote

The appears often in the tales and traditions of Native Americans—usually as a very savvy and clever beast. Modern s have displayed their cleverness by adapting to the changing American landscape. These members of the dog family once lived primarily in open prairies and deserts, but now roam the continent's forests and mountains. They have even colonized cities like Los Angeles, and are now found over most of North America. populations are likely at an all-time high.

## Description

The is a carnivore closely related to the Wolf and is commonly seen as a pest to be eradicated, usually by shortsighted individuals who cannot see  beyond skin deep. Like an onion, the has many layers. Usually they hunt singly or relays with others rather than in packs. Being a nocturnal hunter in its original form, the has a keen sense ability with which it detects camouflaged units. This combined with its reasonable speed makes the an excellent, inexpensive scout.
Firefly

North America

South America

What’s more magical than a firefly light show on a warm summer night? Just remember that if you catch fireflies, you can keep them in a jar (with a lid punched to let in air and a moistened paper towel on the bottom) for only a day or two before you need to set them free.

## Description

A generic name for any of about one thousand different luminescent beetles, the fire fly uses chemical reactions in its abdomen to create light, the specific pattern of which is designed to attract mates of the same species. This chemical luminescence has a unique practicality in your army, where Fire flies can cause a flash of light with their tail so intense that it temporarily blinds all creatures within a certain distance from the Fire fly. Blinded creatures are incapable of using any ranged or artillery attacks, making the Fire fly a useful defense against such creatures.
Electric Eel

Electric eel is a fish species first described by Linnaeus 1766. The rays are part of the genus Electrophorus, and the family of cutlery. The IUCN categorizes the species globally as least concern.

## Description

The Electrical Eel is an elongated, serpentine fish and one of the 600 diverse species. Of all of the electric fish species, this particular Eel is capable of delivering a devastating lightning attack to its targets. This shock is delivered at a distance, and renders this creature a powerful ranged unit. It inhabits shallow coastal waters throughout the world, but by combining it with ground animals, you can create a strong amphibious unit for your army. Not to be overlooked is the Eel's ability to deliver an intense electrical burst, covering everything within close proximity to it with a discharge of built-up electricity. Keep in mind that this causes enormous damage to friendly and enemy units and structures alike.
Cheetah

The cheetah is the world's fastest land mammal. With acceleration that would leave most automobiles in the dust, a cheetah can go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in only three seconds. These big cats are quite nimble at high speed and can make quick and sudden turns in pursuit of prey.

## Description

The Cheetah is a member of the cat family and one of the fastest land animals in the world. They are well adapted to dry habitats such as savanna grasslands an semi-deserts. They can survive for long periods without water, gathering much of the water they need from the body fluids of their own prey. Cheetahs prefer open habitats that offer unobstructed views of their surroundings. On its own, this creature is somewhat fragile, which makes its incredible speed an amazing advantage when combined with sturdier animals. The Cheetah's leap attack ability ensures a swift first blow that can easily define the outcome of the fight early on.
Polar Bear

Polar bears roam the Arctic ice sheets and swim in that region's coastal waters. They are very strong swimmers, and their large front paws, which they use to paddle, are slightly webbed. Some polar bears have been seen swimming hundreds of miles from land—though they probably cover most of that distance by floating on sheets of ice.

## Description

The Polar Bear is a common name for a white bear found in the sea ice of the Artic throughout the North Polar basin. It has the plant grade feet (heel and sole touching the ground) typical of bears, with five sharp, curved claws on each foot for grasping the ice and holding on its prey. All Polar Bears are white, although their fur may yellow in the summer, and they are the largest wild bears ever weighed. Polar Bears have a strong navigational sense, an extremely good sense of smell, and they are unusually clever at solving problems in order to obtain food. This unit has fairly high attack ratings, but its mediocre health and above average defense keeps it a relatively inexpensive creature for combining.
Snowy Owl

The ghostlike snowy owl has unmistakable white plumage that echoes its Arctic origins.

## Description

The Snowy Owl ranges across northern Eurasia and North America. During the winter months, the Snowy Owl's white plumage camouflages it, allowing it to swoop down undetected on small mammals and fish.  This bird is one of the cheapest flight creatures, making it an excellent choice for inexpensive flying combinations.  Be careful, flying units are very mobile, but tend to be more delicate than other creatures.  The Snowy Owl is relatively quick and has an above average sight radius.
Giant Anteater

Anteaters are edentate animals—they have no teeth. But their long tongues are more than sufficient to lap up the 35,000 ants and termites they swallow whole each day. The giant anteater can reach 7 feet long from the tip of its snout to the end of its tail.

## Description

The Giant Anteater of South America is a voraciously hungry mammal that manages to sustain its bulk with a diet of up to 30,000 insects per day. Possessing strong forearms tipped with sharp, hooked claws, the Giant Anteater locates termite mounds and rips them open, then inserts its extraordinarily long tongue into the heart of the termite colony, trapping insects on its tongue's sticky coating. The Giant Anteater's size and long tongue make a formidable long range unit in your army alone, but it can also be a potent melee unit thanks to the strong claws on its forearms, and an excellent ambusher due to its ability to Dig with its forearms as well.
Giraffe

Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals, thanks to their towering legs and long necks. A giraffe's legs alone are taller than many humans—about 6 feet . These long legs allow giraffes to run as fast as 35 miles an hour over short distances and cruise comfortably at 10 miles an hour over longer distances.

## Description

The Giraffe is the tallest living animal and instantly recognizable by its exceptionally long neck. Giraffes live in the savanna and open woodland, habitats where the available food varies throughout the year. Averting 17ft. (5.3m) tall, the giraffe can pursue the surrounding terrain and see any threats well before they are in range of attacking. An animal of average speed and health, the Giraffe is supreme scout because its lack of any special abilities makes it resource cost low. Fear not though, the sight radius on the Giraffe more than makes up for any of its shortcomings.
Barracuda

Europe

North America

The barracuda is a large species of fish found in the warmer, coastal regions of the world's oceans. There are more than 20 different species of barracuda that range in size from less than 50cm to nearly 2 meters in length.

## Description

The Barracuda is vicious monster that bites people for fun.
Shield Bug

Defensive Cloud

Shield bug is an insect that belongs to the family of shield bugs. It originates from China, Taiwan and Japan.

## Description

The Shield Bug, named for the resemblance of its carapace to a medieval shield, is characterized by its ability to emit a noxious odor when disturbed. Shield bugs are a voracious pest to many commercial crops around the world and their ability to become quickly immune to many pesticides makes them a particularly insidious threat. This combination of the Shield Bug's hard, smooth carapace which can deflect ranged attacks back at opponents, plus the ability to create a Stink Cloud to slow attackers and protect allies from ranged attacks, as well as its immunity to chemical attacks, makes it an exceptionally well-defended unit. Combined with a larger creature, it will become a pest that your opponent will find near impossible to squash.
Archerfish

Archerfish is a family in the order of perch-shaped fish. In the family there is only one genus with 7 species. The fishermen can spray a water jet that hits insects above the water surface.

## Description

The Archerfish is truly a unique creature with its ability to shoot down prey with quick squirts of water from its mouth. The potential implications of utilizing this creature's unique ability are vast in any strategic army. By combining the Archerfish with another animal, you have a powerful artillery unit that can bombard anything within range. This of course, has the unfortunate effect of rendering the creature fairly weak in close combat. However, when used carefully they can provide a powerful range addition to any army.
Lobster

To many, it may seem that the lobster’s most natural habitat is on a large, oval plate between a cup of drawn butter and a lemon wedge.

## Description

The Lobster is a marine decapods crustacean, with five pairs of appendages on the thorax, and is closely related to the freshwater crayfishes. The signature claws that they are easily recognized by are usually not the same size, as they might appear. One tends to be a heavier crusher claw and the other a smaller biting claw. The head bears two pairs of antennae; the eyes are compound and the tail is fanlike. In battle, the Lobster is relatively slow, but has thick armor that makes it great for combining. It is an amphibious creature and can easily destroy barriers with its strong clawed attack. Weaknesses such a small sight radius keeps it cost down.
Velvet Worm

Australia

Central America

South America

Velvet worms are caterpillar-like invertebrates, that release a jet of slime from their slime glands, in order to hunt down their prey. They also use it for self defense.

## Description

Velvet worms are invertebrates belonging to the phylum Onychophora, or "claw bearers" (referring to the small retractable claw found at the terminus of each leg). While not technically worms, they are ancient creatures in evolutionary terms, remaining largely unchanged for the last 400 million years. They are particularly unusual for their hydrostatic structure; they move without conventional muscles, instead pumping fluids around their bodies to create motion. These tiny carnivores are particularly unique for their ability to ensnare prey at range using slimy mucous fired from two pores on the head. As the mucous dries, it entraps small creatures, allowing the velvet worm to consume them at leisure. This particular species, Euperipatoides Rowelli, is especially remarkable; despite their extremely primitive brains, they hunt and live in packs, with a strict social matriarchal hierarchy.
Komodo Dragon

Poison

Komodo dragons have thrived in the harsh climate of Indonesia's Lesser Sunda Islands for millions of years.

## Description

The Komodo Dragon is he largest living lizard and can grow as long as a dining table and heavier than a grown man. A member of the monitor lizard species, it is also among the oldest living lizards. This creature is a fierce predator and scavenger. Its mouth carries a virulent bacteria, and its bite alone can be fatal. Combine its poisonous bite and poison touch abilities with its capacity to regenerate health and the Komodo Dragon becomes a valuable addition to any army.
Hammerhead Shark

North America

Hammerhead sharks are consummate predators that use their oddly shaped heads to improve their ability to find prey.

## Description

The Hammerhead Shark is command name for about ten related species of sharks found throughout the tropical and temperate seas. Large flattened head give these fish a hydroplane-like lift and enable them to make sharper turn than other sharks. The eyes and nostrils, by being spaced at the ends of the head, also give them a greater ability to track prey. The Hammerhead is a good attack creature that provides the benefits of a shark without the extreme cost of going with a Great White. Average in cost and average in attributes, the Hammerhead is immune to chemical-based attacks including stink, plague and poison.
Panther

A panther is a feline with a different, all-black drawing, usually leopard or jaguar. Several cats have abundant local variations in drawing and fur, the result of mutations in local populations, comparing King leopard, but the all-black forms of leopards and jaguars are stable element in the population and are found throughout the species' range.

## Description

The Panther is one of the most mysterious members of the cat family, characterized by a black, unspotted coat of fur. Most closely related to the leopard, this creature is a low cost and low research level cat. Similar in many respects to the Mountain Lion, the Panther has slightly better attributes making it a viable option if you are looking to increase the attributes without greatly affecting the overall resource cost of your creature.
Mantis Shrimp

Keen Sense

Central America

Europe

North America

South America

Mantis shrimp belongs to the group of marine crustaceans. There are around 400 species of mantis shrimps that inhabit shallow subtropical and tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans. Mantis shrimps spend most of their life hidden in the rock crevices and burrows on the bottom of the sea. They have colorful shells and body posture that resembles posture of praying mantis. Mantis shrimps are consumed as a delicacy mostly in Asia and Mediterranean countries. Due to their attractive morphology, people often collect mantis shrimp from the wild and keep them in private aquariums. Despite these factors, they are still numerous in the wild. Mantis shrimps are not on the list of endangered species.

## Description

The Mantis Shrimp is a small and exceedingly strange arthropod. Despite the name, they are related to neither mantids nor shrimp; instead, they are descended from an ancient line of superpredators, surviving to this day through a plethora of odd adaptations. Most obviously, they possess powerful raptorial appendages (the arms protruding below a Mantis Shrimp's head), which are capable of extremely fast motion-- fast enough, in fact, to crack crab shells, and even break aquarium glass. They are fond of digging long, complicated tunnels, from which they spring to surprise prey. Furthermore, they have unique eyes; capable of seeing of broader spectrum of light than our own, Mantis Shrimp eyes have the distinction of possessing cross-hairs, which allow the animals to target prey items more effectively.
Wolf

Keen Sense

North America

Wolves are legendary because of their spine-tingling howl, which they use to communicate. A lone wolf howls to attract the attention of his pack, while communal howls may send territorial messages from one pack to another. Some howls are confrontational. Much like barking domestic dogs, wolves may simply begin howling because a nearby wolf has already begun.

## Description

The Wolf is a carnivore related to the jackal and domestic dog. All Wolves are characterized by powerful teeth, bushy tails, and round pupils. Certain characteristics of the skull distinguish them from domestic dogs, some breeds of which they otherwise resemble. Wolves are equally at home on prairies, in forests, and on all but the highest mountains. In the winter they travel in packs searching for food. Small animals and birds are common prey of Wolves, but a pack sometimes attacks reindeer, caribou, sheep, and other large mammal, usually selecting weak, old, or very young animals for easier capture. The Wolf is a powerful canine unit with keen sense ability that can detect stealthy or camouflaged units. It also has high endurance and gains a bonus when attacking in groups of four or more.
Lemming

Overpopulation

The is a tiny rodent that is found in or near the Arctic Circle and are thought to be related to voles and muskrats. The smallest species of is the wood measuring around 8 cm. The Norwegian is roughly three times the size of a wood and is one of the largest species of .

## Description

The is a mouse-like rodent characterized by a small, short body that is about 5 inches (13 cm) long, with a very short tail and stout legs. In nature, s are renowned for their mass migration tendencies and have been known to swim lakes and rivers and cross mountains while devouring all vegetation in their path. Even when reaching the sea, they will follow each other and attempt to cross it as if it were a river, resulting in their death. This creature is valuable because it is one of only two creatures with the digging ability. However, it is extremely low in every other attribute, including attack, defense and speed. It is relatively cheap, but requires a strategic combination with a stronger animal to make it useful.
Pistol Shrimp

Australia

North America

The Pistol Shrimp is also goes by two more names – Snapping Shrimp or Alpheid Shrimp. There are around 600 different species of these creatures live on Earth. These species are grouped in 38+ genera with Synalpheus and Alpheus being the two most popular genera. The Synalpheus genus has around 100 species and Alpheus genus has over 250 species.

## Description

The Pistol Shrimp is defined as any species of arthropod within the family Alpheidae - a group of crustaceans with asymmetrical claws, capable of producing a cavitation effect to stun prey. Effectively, this means that the Pistol Shrimp is able to rapidly close its largest pincer, creating a cavitation bubble which collapses in on itself with such force as to momentarily reach the temperature of the sun, creating a pressure wave which disorientates or concusses fish and other prey items. The strategic implications of such an ability are obvious-and when combined with the barrier destroy ability inherent in all pincer-bearing arthropods, the Pistol Shrimp becomes a powerful raiding unit.
Walrus

North America

The mustached and long-tusked walrus is most often found near the Arctic Circle, lying on the ice with hundreds of companions. These marine mammals are extremely sociable, prone to loudly bellowing and snorting at one another, but are aggressive during mating season. With wrinkled brown and pink hides, walruses are distinguished by their long white tusks, grizzly whiskers, flat flipper, and bodies full of blubber.

## Description

The Walrus is a large marine mammal that can use all four limbs when moving on shore. It is a highly social animal that congregates in herds sometimes numbering several thousand. The bellowing of a herd can be heard for great distances and the Walrus is gentle unless attacked. In nature, Polar Bears are the chief natural predator of the Walrus and humans hunt the animal for its valuable ivory tusks, flesh and blubber. This animal has a vicious melee bite.
Hatchetfish

Hatchetfish are well camouflaged. Like many deep sea fishes, they have light-producing organs in rows along their bellies. These organs shine a pale blue light that matches daylight filtering down from above, and hides them from predators below.

## Description

Freshwater Hatchetfish are small, pond-dwelling fish of the order Gasteropelecidae, unique for their ability to "fly" over short distances - they are, in fact, the only fish capable of powered flight (though the marine Flying Fish can glide for a time). This trait manifests itself in the hover ability, making the Hatchetfish the only swimming creature with this talent, and allowing it to cover large areas rapidly- over both land and sea. This superior mobility means this creature is the ideal choice for any combinations where rapid and effcient deployment is necessary, allowing enemy lines to be circumvented or sneak attacks to be enacted.
Dragonfly

Adult dragonflies have two pair of wings. The back, or hind, wings are slightly larger at the base than the front wings. Dragonflies do not fold their wings when they land. Their wings extend from their body even when they are resting.

## Description

The Dragonfly is a predacious aquatic insect characterized by an elongate body, agile flight and two roughly equal pairs of membranous wings. Being such a small and delicate flying animal, he Dragonfly's inclusion in an army is initially questionable. Although highly mobile because it can fly, the Dragonfly is quite weak and therefore very susceptible to attacks that other flying units would simply shrug off. However, it is immune to chemical based attacks including stink, plague, and poison. This combination of attributes and abilities makes the Dragonfly one of the cheapest animals, and lowest Research Level flying units possible. For gaining early flight capability, the Dragonfly is supreme.
Grizzly Bear

The grizzly bear is a North American subspecies of the brown bear. Grizzlies once lived in much of western North America and even roamed the Great Plains. European settlement gradually eliminated the bears from much of this range, and today grizzly populations in the continental U.S. are protected by law. Many grizzlies still roam the wilds of Canada and Alaska, where hunters pursue them as big game trophies.

## Description

The Grizzly has large, plant grade feet (heel and sole touching ground) and five long claws on its front paws. The Grizzly Bear subsists on a diet of berries, vegetation, and small mammals, but don't be fooled by the vegetarian fare, this creature is dangerous, fast and tough in battle. Its main weakness are low sight range, modest defense, and lack of any prominent special abilities. The fact that it is relatively cheap and has high health increases its strategic value in the Combiner.
Rhinoceros

Loner

Both black and white rhinoceroses are actually gray. They are different not in color but in lip shape. The rhino has a pointed upper lip, while its white relative has a squared lip. The difference in lip shape is related to the animals' diets. The rhinos are browsers that get most of their sustenance from eating trees and bushes. They use their lips to pluck leaves and fruit from the branches. White rhinos graze on grasses, walking with their enormous heads and squared lips lowered to the ground.

## Description

Rhinos are among the biggest and heaviest land animals today. They have thick, pillar-like legs with three toes covered with broad, hoof like nails. Rhinos are legendary for their poor eyesight, but their sense of smell and hearing are acute. Although they look clumsily, Rhinos can swivel around rapidly to face danger, and if threatened, can charge at speeds of up to 50km/h (about 30mph). The Rhinoceros is a powerful charging creature with high armor. Its intimidating horn and strong bite help make it a good middle point between the Bull and Elephant. Its high health and attack ratings are beneficial to combinations with smaller animals. Drawbacks include a very low sight radius and average speed.
Piranha

Piranhas are small to medium sized fish that live in rivers of South America. Some piranhas can be found in warm lakes and rivers of North America and in Kaptai Lake in Bangladesh. Word piranha means "fish tooth" in indigenous languages of Amazon. Exact number of species of piranha is unknown (between 30 and 60). They are not endangered.

## Description

The Piranha is compressed, oval shaped, fine-scaled fish that can be anywhere from 10 to 24 in (25 to 60 cm) in length. This carnivorous predator has a blunt head and powerful jaws with sharp, wedge-shaped teeth that mesh like cutting shears and enable the fish to cut the flesh from the prey. This creature associates in large schools and is attracted by commotion and scent of blood. Once aroused, they can quickly reduce a large mammal to a skeleton. The combination of these qualities gives the Piranha an extremely high attack rate, frenzy and pack hunting abilities. This creature will contribute a vicious attack to any combination. The frenzy ability uses endurance, so keep in mind its low health and average endurance ratings when considering optimal creature combinations.
Hippopotamus

Hippopotamuses love water, which is why the Greeks named them the “river horse.” Hippos spend up to 16 hours a day submerged in rivers and lakes to keep their massive bodies cool under the hot African sun. Hippos are graceful in water, good swimmers, and can hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes. However, they are often large enough to simply walk or stand on the lake floor, or lie in the shallows. Their eyes and nostrils are located high on their heads, which allows them to see and breathe while mostly submerged.

## Description

The Hippopotamus is an African mammal that lives partly in water and partly on land. Although strictly a plant eater, the Hippopotamus has massive jaws with a formidable tusks and an unpredictable temper. This creature is a good medium-cost attack unit due to its high health and ferocious bite. Due to its highly social nature, it also has herding ability, making it more effective when used in groups of 4 or more. Decent armor, along with the ability to be just as effective in the water as on land, make the Hippo a good mid-level offensive creature.
Skunk

Skunks are legendary for their powerful predator-deterrent—a hard-to-remove, horrible-smelling spray.

## Description

The Skunk is a carnivore best known for the offensive odor it produces from glands near its tail.  Skunks are omnivorous, eating small mammals, birds, eggs, and insects.  They also like honey and bees.  Many farmers believe that skunks keep the rodent population under control.  Striped Skunks breed in late winter or early spring and the den, lined with vegetation, can be a hole abandoned by another animal or a new one dug by the Skunk.  The Skunk is relatively weak and has low ratings in all areas, but it is the only creature with the stink attack.
Garfish

Looking at a garfish is a bit like looking into the distant past. Largely unchanged over the past 100 million years, they are often called living fossils.

## Description

The Garfish is a small fish with a short upper jaw and elongated lower jaw. They are tropical fish usually found in warm seas, lakes and rivers around the world. The Garfish is closely related to the halfbeak and flying fish, and are known by fisherman for their tenacious attitude, fighting veraciously to keep them from getting caught. Its bite renders this unit a vicious melee addition to any army but it is also valuable for the tough scales that cover its body. Garfish can also grow quite large, with some specimens reaching over six feet long.
Termite

Australia

Europe

North America

South America

The termites are normally larger in size than other termite species. Like termites, dampwood colonies don’t have workers. Younger termites called "false workers" do all the work for the colony.

## Description

Termites are communal insects with a single queen matriarch, and feed upon wood and other cellulose materials.  Termites are near legendary for their destructive tendencies, chewing through structural foundations to buildings where they often establish colonies.  Termites possess the unique infestation ability , which allows a Termite who comes into contact with an enemy structure to burrow inside of it, never to be seen again- but causing massive damage to the structure over a period of time.  No structure other than the Lab can survive being infested by termites twice in a row, unless it's repaired by Henchmen.
Snail

Australia

Central America

North America

South America

Snail is a common name for *gastropod molluscs* that can be split into three groups, land snails, sea snails and freshwater snails.

## Description

The common Garden Snail is one of the most successful invertebrates on the planet, colonising entire continents despite its apparent vulnerability. Though it is a slow, soft creature, it is able to protect itself by withdrawing into its tough shell, which shields it from predators such as birds or ants. Furthermore, when wounded, its gelatinous form has the ability to restore such damage, even allowing the Snail to re-grow lost eyes or organs. The Snail is a very cheap unit with obvious defensive capabilities that are able to come into play rather early on in games-naturally, this gastropod's speed is a negative factor, so combine the Snail with a faster creature for best results.
Smilodon

Horns

Smilodon, is an extinct family in cats, containing the "saber-toothed" cats. The highlight was two extremely long canine teeth. Smilodon's predecessor was Machairodus, who did not get any other famous successor.

## Description

The Smilodon is way superior to the Alien and makes it useless. However Doggie doesn't want to remove it so the Alien got a different role.
Grasshopper

Leap Attack

Australia

Central America

Europe

North America

South America

Grasshopper is an insect that belongs to the order Orthoptera. There are over 11 000 species of grasshoppers that can be found worldwide. They can survive in different climates and in numerous habitats. Grasshoppers can be found in the temperate forests, tropical rainforests, meadows, areas near the ponds and streams, rocky areas and even deserts. Grasshoppers are symbols of luck in Japan. Certain species of grasshoppers are endangered due to habitat loss (as a result of increased agriculture and urban development).
Vaughn Grean (Minecraft Series)

**Vaughn Grean**

## Bioraphy

**Vaughn Grean** is a protagonist, and a survivor of the outbreak in Ritro's *Eccentria*. He is the son of Jay and Kethelyn Grean. During the initial outbreak, Vaughn was outside, so recieving the news of an outbreak rushed back home and caught a cold. Making his parents believe he was eccentric. He joined Jay Grean, Kethelyn Grean, Christian Zeblie and Maryam Zeblie on a trip to Zion City in search of military protection. As time progresses, Vaughn is said to slowly become hardened due to the severe loss of life and the environment around him, and he has shown to be more than willing to assist and protect the people he cares about. After reaching Zion, he forms a friendship, and eventual relationship, with a survivor, Lucy.

## Behind the scenes

"Vaughn is one of the main four characters and always will be." -Ritro
Snow Leopard

These rare, beautiful gray leopards live in the mountains of Central Asia. They are insulated by thick hair, and their wide, fur-covered feet act as natural snowshoes. Snow leopards have powerful legs and are tremendous leapers, able to jump as far as 50 feet. They use their long tails for balance and as blankets to cover sensitive body parts against the severe mountain chill.

## Description

The Snow Leopard was created when someone accidentally washed his leopard pet regularly using a washing machine. Eventually they lost their yellow colour and procreated. They decided that their, now white, camouflage is perfect for snowy environments so they emigrated into mountains.
Gorilla

Gorillas are large apes that are native to Africa. They are typically divided into two groups. The mountain gorilla lives in the mountainous regions of central Africa, while the lowland gorilla lives in the flat, dense forests of central and western Africa. Though the two types are very similar, they have a few differences. For example, mountain gorillas tend to have longer hair, whereas lowland gorillas have short, soft hair, according to the Smithsonian.

## Description

The Gorilla is the largest of the great apes and one of the closest living relatives of the human species. The Gorilla is a strong attack unit at a relatively modest price. With the massive pummeling arms and a furious bite, it is the most powerful primate available. Unlike the other great apes, Gorillas travel, eat, play and sleep in the stable family groups. Because of this, they receive a defensive herding bonus when 4 or more are in close proximity to one another. When combining, keep in mind that this creature has a high attack rating, but a relatively low defense rating.
Snapping Turtle

Turtles are always considered to be an interesting animal to the human kind, due to their peculiar behavioral pattern of withdrawing into the shell, whenever they feel threatened. Many species of turtles are endangered by humans now and snapping turtle can be said to be one of them. It is a species of the turtle family found mainly in North America and is widely hunted for their meat in this region.

## Description

The Snapping Turtle is a member of one of two genera of large freshwater turtles, noted for their strong jaws and fierce tempers. Its powerful jaws grip so tenaciously on prey that it may sometimes be lifted up by the object it bites.  It feeds on fish and other small aquatic animals. Snapping Turtles have a pink wormlike structure on their tongues that they wiggle like a fishing lure to attract prey.  They are one of the most well-armored creatures in the game.  Couple that with a nasty bite attack and you have a great medium--cost defensive amphibious creature.  Naturally, its speed is one of the slowest you can find and it has a relatively small sight radius, so keep that in mind when considering strategic combinations.
Garden Spider

Garden spiders are large, orb-weaving arachnids, meaning that they spin a circular web. Most spiders have two claws on each foot, but orb-weavers have an additional claw to help them spin their complex webs. In females, the top side of the abdomen is black with symmetrical patches of bright yellow. The legs are reddish brown at the base and black toward the tips. Males are less striking in appearance—they are smaller with brownish legs and less yellow coloration on their abdomens.

## Description

Garden Spiders are a commonplace arachnid known for its bright gold and black markings, and its spectacular web-weaving abilities. They are known as Orb Weavers, for the large, elaborate circular orb-shape webs  that they weav. These webs are usually built in gardens and bushes among foliage, earning this spider its name. Although non-venomous and not particularly a vicious fighter, the Garden Spider is a valuable resource to your army for its ability to throw its incredibly strong webbing across groups of enemy creatures, rendering them helpless and vulnerable.
Horse

Australia

Central America

Europe

North America

South America

Horses have been called the noblest of creatures, and it’s easy to see why. Depending on which scientific accounts you believe, they’ve been man’s original best friend since anywhere from 4000 to 2000 B.C. They’ve taken us wherever we’ve asked them to including the fields of battle.

## Description

The horse is a large land mammal noted for its speed, strength, and endurance. It is a member of the Equidae family and extremely well-adapted to traveling long distances with great efficiency. The Horse is also an intensely social animal and tends to form strong associations with members of its herd. Its instinctive behaviors form the basis of the horse's ability to bond and obey a human trainer. As a result of deliberate breeding by humans, Horses display a remarkable variation in size, body shape and coat color. Similar to the Zebra, the Horse is a melee attack unit with a ferocious kick and nasty bite.
Eagle

The bald eagle, with its snowy-feathered (not bald) head and white tail, is the proud national bird symbol of the United States—yet the bird was nearly wiped out there. For many decades, bald eagles were hunted for sport and for the "protection" of fishing grounds. Pesticides like DDT also wreaked havoc on eagles and other birds. These chemicals collect in fish, which make up most of the eagle's diet. They weaken the bird's eggshells and severely limited their ability to reproduce. Since DDT use was heavily restricted in 1972, eagle numbers have rebounded significantly and have been aided by reintroduction programs. The result is a wildlife success story—the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has upgraded the birds from endangered to least concern.

## Description

The majestic Eagle has been used to symbolize courage and power in many cultures, and for good reason. Its large size and superb aerial skills define this animal as the most powerful flying animal available in your army. Females attain a length of about 1 yard (1 meter) from tip of the beak to the tip of the tail, and have a wingspan of about 2 yards (2 meters). Males are smaller, as is true for most birds of prey. The Eagle makes for a great scout combination because it has one of the highest sight radiuses of all of the animals available to you.

Tarantula

As the world’s largest spiders, tarantulas are both feared and beloved. There are more than 850 species of these often hairy, nocturnal arachnids. Tarantulas live primarily in the tropical, subtropical, and desert areas of the world, with the majority found in South America.

## Description

The largest spider on earth, some are known to have a leg span as wide as a dinner plate. Tarantulas have been known to hunt and prey upon small birds, rodents, and snakes, a credit to its ferocity when compared to most arachnids who flee from such animals. They can defend themselves with their powerful fangs, as well as by kicking a cloud of tiny, barbed hairs off of their abdomen to irritate and disorient attackers, and they can grapple with their prey with their strong and flexible pedipalps, which look like a 5th pair of legs near its head. Whenever attacked, creatures with a Tarantula’s tail in your army will release a cloud of barbed hairs which will irritate and disorient any attackers near them, temporarily eliminating any organizational benefits those creatures possessed, such as hunting as a Pack, or moving defensively as a Herd.

Spitting Cobra

A **spitting cobra** is any of several species of cobras that can project venom from their fangs when defending themselves.

## Description

The Spitting Cobra is a venomous snake, known for its intimidating behavior and deadly bite.  Cobras are recognized by the hoods that they flare when angry or disturbed; the hoods are created by the elongate ribs that extend the loose skin of the neck behind the Cobra's heads.  Cobra venom has been used for many years in medical research because it has an enzyme, lecithinase, that dissolves cell walls as well as membranes surrounding viruses.  The Spitting Cobra has a powerful poison ranged attack and is the only creature that can spit poison from a distance.  However, it also has low health and mediocre speed ratings.
Dolphin

Europe

North America

The dolphins are well known as the intelligent and charismatic stars of many aquarium shows. Their curved mouths give the appearance of a friendly, permanent smile, and they can be trained to perform complex tricks.

## Description

The Dolphin is a fast-swimming animal related to whales and porpoises. They are incredibly sleek and powerful swimmers found worldwide. Dolphins differ from porpoises by their well-defined snout and conical teeth. The bottle-nose dolphin is just one of at least 32 different species. These animals are renowned for their appearance in open waters, making their characteristic arched bounds, frequently before the bow waves of ships. The Dolphin can use its natural sonar ability to damage and stun their opponents from a safe distance.
Wolverine

North America

The wolverine is a powerful animal that resembles a small bear but is actually the largest member of the weasel family.

## Description

The Wolverine's body is heavyset, the legs are short and thick, and the claws are long and curved. The head and tail are carried low, and the back forms a high arch. The snout is short and pointed, and the head is blunt and rounded; the yes are set wide apart, and the ears project only a short distance above the head fur. Wolverines will eat bird eggs, berries, and any animal they can kill and, lacking live prey, will eat carrion. They adept at robbing the traps that hunters set for other animals. Although once abundant, the Wolverine is now rare due to over hunting, both for its fur and because it is viewed as a pest by some people. It is a vicious beast with a powerful frenzy attack.
Chimpanzee

Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, sharing more than 98 percent of our genetic blueprint. Humans and chimps are also thought to share a common ancestor who lived some four to eight million years ago.

## Description

Chimpanzees are one of the smartest primates known to man. This intelligence makes it relatively easy to train them to use some quite rudimentary tools, hence their ability to throw rocks. The Chimpanzee throws rocks long distances, causing them to break apart on impact and send sharp shards of rock flying everywhere. These shards damage anything in the area around impact. Naturally, by creating a larger Chimpanzee through combination, the creature will be able to throw larger, heavier rocks longer distances. In the wild, a chimpanzee tends to form packs with others of its species. This follows true when the animal is combined, as groups of four or more creatures of he same type are always more effective.
Zebra

No animal has a more distinctive coat than the zebra. Each animal's stripes are as unique as fingerprints—no two are exactly alike—although each of the three species has its own general pattern.

## Description

The Zebra is a member of the horse family with an eye-catching coat of black and white strips. Each Zebra species has different stripe pattern, and no two individuals within a species have exactly the same markings. Because they spend so much time eating, they are an easy target for predators, and some zoologists have suggested that Zebra stripes act as a protective camouflage. According to this theory, their bold markings break up their outline, making them difficult to see from far away. Another explanation for the markings is that herd, Zebra stripes confuse would-be attackers by making it hard for them to single out an individual animal from a backdrop of constantly shifting stripes.
Porcupine

The porcupine is the prickliest of rodents, though its Latin name means “quill pig.” There are more than two dozen porcupine species, and all boast a coat of needle-like quills to give predators a sharp reminder that this animal is no easy meal. Some quills, like those of Africa's crested porcupine, are nearly a foot long.

## Description

The Porcupine is a herbivorous rodent with long, pointed spines, or quills, growing from the back and sides and, in some species, from head to tail. The quills which have a needle-sharp ends containing hundreds of barbs, can be erected  by the muscles of the skin. This animal grows to a length of at least 24 in (65 to 80 cm) and has a short tail and brownish hair. The Value of such a small creature is a strategic army is initially questioned, but its ability of fire sharp quills from its body makes it a potent ranged unit. The Porcupine has two ranged attacks, quill throw and quill burst. The latter is an area attack that damages all units (friendly or enemy) in specific radius.
Blue Ringed Octopus

The Blue-Ringed Octopus can be best described as ‘one cute animal that might kill you’. The term*blue-ringed octopus* does not merely refer to a single species, but a genus of species that are marked by bright blue circular patterns. Despite their apparent gentle nature, these small molluscs are known to be one of the most venomous and dangerous sea creatures on the planet. An adult blue-ringed octopus is of the size of a golf ball, but if provoked, they can bite attackers, including humans. A single bite might lead to partial or complete paralysis, blindness, loss of senses, nausea, and resultant death within minutes, if left untreated. No blue-ringed octopus anti-venom has yet been discovered.

## Description

The Blue Ringed Octopus is a small cephalopod, distinct for being one of the only poisonous members of the group. Its poison is in fact one of the most lethal fluids in the animal kingdom-- used mainly for defense and based on textradotoxin, Blue Ringed Octopus is capable of causing cardiac arrest in humans. However, its primary means of defense is avoidance; by flashing its eponymous neon blue rings, the Octopus makes its lethality obvious to potential predators, which have learned to avoid such colour schemes. Despite this potency, the Blue Ringed Octopus is very small, and spends most of its time hiding in nooks and crannies between rocks.
Chameleon

The chameleon is the largest of the chameleons not native to Madagascar. Their stout bodies can grow to be up to two feet long and weigh more than a pound.

## Description

The Chameleon is a common name for certain lizards well known for their ability to change colors. This ability is caused by hormones that affect the special pigment-bearing cells in their skin. The ability to hide in plain sight makes any creature combined with the Chameleon a perfect scout, as well as a allowing for some powerful ambush strategies. The chameleon remains camouflaged and invisible until it attacks, or is spotted by other creatures that have keen sense or sonar pulse. The Chameleon also has a ranged tongue attack and the ability to regenerate itself from damage.
