Tiger Beetle

*For the special variant, see Festive Tiger Beetle and Manticora Tiger Beetle.*

* Regular
* Golden

The first uncommon creature added to the game, added alongside the Tarantula, Mantis and Bombardier Beetle.

## General information

Extremely fast, it can be seen doing large leaps around the map.

When it sees an enemy ant, it will lock onto it for a couple of seconds and then jump onto it and kill it. So when attacking, command soldiers to attack the beetle and then move out of the way as fast as possible.

Even early game, these can be treated as a regular source of creature parts.

Tiger Beetles on the world map appear to be bouncing around, moving sporadically until they detect soldier ants, worker ants or the player.

## Description

Tiger beetles are known for their aggressive predatory habits and running speed. They can run at a speed of about 125 body lengths per second.

## Stats

Main article: Creature Stats

Tiger Beetles are weak creatures that have high attack rate and speed.

They can be upgraded a max of 60% each stat in the Creature Lab.

## Obtaining

##### Attracting conditions

Uncommon, can appear at any time under any weather. Better chance of finding it at dawn or during the day.

##### Deafeating

The player ant recruits soldier ants and sends them in to attack. There is no way to prevent some soldiers from dying so be ready. It is best to approach slowly so that the soldiers stay around the player ant. If the player rushes in ahead of the soldiers, the tiger beetle will target the player and quickly attack.

## PvP

In PvP, it is useful against enemy soldiers as it quickly pounces on them to defeat them, having more of these can help players clear an army of soldier ants without much trouble, however, when soldiers surround and start biting the beetle, it will resort to biting the soldiers, which is much less efficient than jumping onto the ants. This will kill the beetle quickly (as it has very low health), so to prevent this, get some higher health creatures to distract the soldiers.

### Platinum/Diamond League

Far less relevant due to low health. Can be used to snipe the attacking player ant but even that is risky as the attacker can finish off even a 4 star beetle quickly using their soldier army.

## Trivia

* Real life Tiger Beetles can run up to 5 mph, 120 times its body length every second!

* Tiger Beetles from the genus *Lophyra* are also capable of flying.
Update 0.05/Version 0.0561

Version 0.056 is the 2nd version of 0.0560, released 06-Oct-2020, that increases golden creature stats.

## Changes

	+ Golden creature stats are now 1 star level higher than normal creature stats, when they look like the same star level, e.g. a 2-star golden tarantula is actually as powerful as a 3-star.

## Bug Fixes

* Bombardier AoE attack will not damage the queen ant if soldiers or creatures are still alive (Battles).
* Fixed a bug where aphid farm fire ants would despawn on some occasions.
* Fixed a bug in Battles where enemy soldiers protecting the queen won't attack.
* Fixed a bug where fire ant nests fire ants would sometimes go out of bounds making chamber impossible to clear.
* Minor bug fixes.

Strawberry

The strawberry is a special item can only be purchased in the Gem shop. It is an unlimited source of food and leaves and will disappear after 24 hours.

## General information

The strawberry is an unlimited source that can be purchased for 250 gems in the gem shop. It can be purchased at any time and does not require an active Event to get it.

It will provide an infinite amount of food and leaves for the colony for a total of 24 hours starting as soon as it is purchased. It does not have depletion or need to be reset as a source during that time.

It is available for 24 hours and the timer starts as soon as the strawberry is purchased. The button to purchase the strawberry becomes the timer after purchase. The player can open the gem shop tab to see how much time is left.

The strawberry will have to be selected as a source for the workers to collect from it. After selecting the strawberry as a source, players get will need to set workers to farm strawberry pieces (fungus) as well as leaves. The strawberry bits are decomposed in the Food Processing Chamber for mushrooms. Seeds can't be collected from the strawberry.

The strawberry will appear to the right of the tree at the top edge of the map. The location means that collecting from it is quite slow.

## Offline gathering

Ants will gather resources from the strawberry during offline gathering. Players are limited to a total of 2,000 resources gathered during an offline gathering session. This can be any combination of fungus and leaves such as 1k leaves and 1k fungus, or 500 leaves and 1,500 fungus. If the 24 hour timer runs out during offline gathering, no resources will be awarded upon logging back in.

Due to the limits of offline gathering, the strawberry is best used for afk (away from keyboard/idle) farming where the player leaves the game running while doing other things.

## Video Showcase

    Pocket Ants - The Strawberry (UNLIMITED FOOD AND LEAFS SOURCE)
## Trivia

* The strawberry was added to the game on 5-Nov-2020 during the Resin Update - Part 1, v0.0578.
* It is based off the unlimited source from the first event, the Halloween Event 2020, the pumpkin.

Orchid Mantis

*For the normal variant, see Praying Mantis*

*See Also: Ghost Mantis*

The Orchid Mantis is the 9th special creature to be added into the game.

## General Information

The Orchid Mantis was the first special creature to be a second version of a regular creature's special variant.

The Orchid Mantis is a strong melee creature. It has similar physical attributes to the regular mantis and ghost mantis but the stats are very different. It does not follow the pattern of special variants being the same as a golden creature's stats.

It is **highly recommended** not to kill these creatures.

## Description

Hymenopus coronatus is a mantis from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. This species mimics part of the orchid flower. They are known to grab their prey with blinding speed.

## Stats

Main article: Creature Stats

Don't underestimate these mantises. The Orchid Mantis has much higher stats than the ghost mantis or golden praying mantis. It has extremely fast attack speed and very good health making it one of the best creatures in the game.

## Obtaining

### Defeating

The player ant recruits soldier ants and send them in to attack. There is no way to prevent some soldiers from dying so be ready.

## Battles

Unlike the regular praying mantis, the Orchid mantis is one of the strongest melee creatures. Its high health and fast attack rate allow it kill soldiers very quickly and deal lots of damage to enemy creatures. It is a very strong creature in battle. This makes it good for both attacking and defense. The high health allows it to withstand a lot of hits from enemy creatures.

When attacking, be careful with ants around the Orchid Mantis. The fast attack rate means ants will be killed quickly. A better tactic is to kill or distract them with other creatures before bringing ants in to attack.

## Trivia

* Other names for the orchid mantis include walking flower mantis and orchid-blossom mantid.

* There are numerous species of flower mantids that mimic orchid flowers by swaying as if they were being blown by the wind as a strategy to hunt pollinating insects and camouflage themselves.
Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum is a buff found in the Honeydew Shop that starts at a price of 15 honeydew.

## Usage

Chrysanthemum is used during the attacks on other players and inside the Fire Ant Nest to paralyze all enemy creatures (but not ants) in its area of effect.

Tap the pink flower at the bottom-right, and tap anywhere on the screen to place the chrysanthemum.

The flower will emerge where tapped, and release toxins that paralyze nearby creatures. The stunned creatures will have a green spiral on their heads and cannot move or attack. The spiral will slowly turn until the stun effect ends.

This is a very powerful ability, allowing you to completely nullify entire armies of creatures.

Particles will bounce off enemy creatures, meaning if there is a densely packed area (like the Queen's Chamber) you might not be able to stun every creature. The Rhinoceros Beetle is best at blocking particles.

## Trivia

Chrysanthemum is based off of the chrysanthemum flower. Insects that come into contact with Pyrethrin (a chemical extracted from chrysanthemum) get immediately paralyzed.
Update 0.06/Version 0.0643

#### Teenage Mutant Vampire Ants

A young black garden ant, that was bitten by a radioactive vampire, evolved into this fearsome Pocket-Ants super-creature.

Starter Tutorial

The starter tutorial is a basic introduction to the most commonly used components in the game.

## General Information

Immediately upon starting the game (after entering a username), Dr. Zany will begin the starter tutorial. This tutorial is a set of information and tasks designed to get players started in the game and familiar with important game functions.

It does not cover a lot of important information and leaves a lot for the player to find out for themselves.

The dialogue is provided here as a reference for those who might have forgotten some information or skipped past a certain section.

## Choose a name

The first thing the tutorial requires is to choose a player nickname. Enter a preferred nickname, and then players MUST click the "?" to verify that this name hasn't been taken by somebody else. (If you don't click, the confirm button won't be available.) If the nickname isn't taken, congrats! Click the Confirm button to get started and load the game!

## After loading...

After it loads the player will spawn next to the queen which will be the starting point of the colony. The player is born as the only worker of this colony.

Dr. Zany will teach the player how to build chambers, collect and store items in chambers, breed workers, breed soldiers, capture creatures, fuse creature, battle and so on. After Dr. Zany has taught the player everything they need to know to get started he will leave the player to continue on their journey through pocket ants on their own.

## Check the FAQ

*More questions? The starter tutorial is very basic and leaves many players with lots of questions. In FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) we answer most of them.*

### Events

 1st Anniversary Event | 1000
 Creature Event: Ghost Mantis | 1000

### Defeating

The player ant recruits soldier ants and send them in to attack. There is no way to prevent some soldiers from dying so be ready.

## Battles

Damage dealer. Like a scorpion, but faster speed and attacks at a faster rate.

The movement speed and very high attack rate are what make this creature so deadly. It can take out attacking ants very quickly or snipe a player ant in the middle of battle. It can also deal a large amount of damage to enemy creatures.

### In Platinum/Diamond League

The Ghost Mantis is one of the most ideal creatures for this league, due to the high amount of damage it deals against other creatures and its speed. It's only weakness is its mediocre health, attackers can easily paralyze and wipe out the ghost mantis with chrysanthemum.

## Trivia

* Phyllocrania paradoxa commonly known as the ghost mantis, is a small species of mantis known for its unique dry weathered leaf camouflage.
Colony Chambers

There are different kinds of chambers in pocket ants used to store and upgrade various things such as leaves, seeds, fungus etc.

**Note:** Fungi, leaves and seeds are measured by how many worker ants the player has. For example, if a player has 150 worker ants, the player would get 150 fungi, leaves and seeds on day 2 because the reward is how many workers there are multiplied by **1**. On day 4, the player would get 300 of each, since the reward is multiplied by **2**.

Praying Mantis

* Regular
* Golden

*For the special variants, see Ghost Mantis and Orchid Mantis.*

## General information

One of the first creatures added, along with Tarantula, Tiger Beetle and Bombardier Beetle.

Praying mantis are extremely common, arguably more common than Tarantulas,

When they spot an enemy ant, they will lock onto it for about 2 seconds and then run towards it. Even early game, these can be treated as a regular source of creature parts.

## Description

Mantises are ambush predators that only feed upon live prey within their reach. They camouflage themselves and remain stationary, waiting for prey to approach. They are one of few creatures to have an updated texture.

## Stats

Main article: Creature Stats

They are tied with butterfly and tiger beetle for the lowest health of all creatures in the game, but have a high attack rate and good speed.

The mantis can be upgraded a max of 60% each stat in the Creature Lab.

## Obtaining

##### Attracting conditions

Common, can appear at any time under any weather.

##### Defeating

The player ant recruits soldier ants and sends them in to attack. Put the garrison in the path of the mantis to distract it, preventing the player ant or soldiers from being killed.

## PvP

The Praying Mantis is used as a melee creature to attack enemy creatures and pick off ants. It has a much higher attack rate than a Tarantula.

The praying mantis is very easy to attract which makes it easy to fuse them to 3 or 4 stars early in the game. However, they will likely be replaced by stronger creatures later in the game.

### Platinum/Diamond League

Not used much. Usually only seen as their gold variety as a 4 star, when they can be quite useful.

Its low health puts it at a disadvantage, especially when getting swarmed by ants.

## Trivia

### Origin

    The Praying Mantis in the game is assumed to be **based on** the European praying mantis, *Mantis religiosa*.

### Other facts

* This is the first creature to have 2 special variants.

*For the normal variant, see Tarantula.*

The Christmas Spider is the 2nd special creature to be added into the game.

## General Information

They have the same amount of health golden Tarantulas would. They have max attack rate and move much faster compared to a Tarantula.

When they spot an enemy, they will lock onto it for a third of a second and then run towards it.

It is **highly recommended** not to kill these creatures.

## Description

Austracantha Minax can often be found living near each other in large overlapping aggregations of orb webs of usually thirty individuals.

## Stats

Christmas Spiders have decent health, although they are very fast and have an insanely good attack speed. They have the same attack rate and health stats as the Ghost Mantis and Festive Tiger Beetle.

## Obtaining

### Events

 1st Anniversary Event | 1000
 Creature Event: Christmas Spider | 1000

### Defeating

The player ant recruits soldier ants and send them in to attack. There is no way to prevent some soldiers from dying so be ready. It is best to approach slowly so that the soldiers stay around the player ant. If the player rushes in ahead of the soldiers, the Christmas spider will target the player and quickly attack.

## Battles

Damage dealer. Like a scorpion, but faster speed and attacks at a faster rate.

The movement speed and very high attack rate are what make this creature so deadly. It can take out attacking ants very quickly or snipe a player ant in the middle of battle. It can also deal a large amount of damage to enemy creatures.

### In Platinum/Diamond League

The Christmas spider is one of the most ideal creatures for this league, due to the high amount of damage it deals against other creatures and its speed. It's only weakness is its mediocre health, attackers can easily paralyze and wipe out the Christmas spider with chrysanthemum.

## Trivia

* The Christmas Spider is based on the Austracantha minax, an Australian species known as the jewel spider or Christmas spider.
Creature Event: Skull Spider

The Creature Event: Skull Spider was the 12th Creature Event in Pocket Ants.

## General information

The Creature Event: Skull Spider, also known as a mini-event, is a short event that is intended to give players the chance to get special creatures from the past or fuse the ones they have. Unlike major events, these don't include unlimited sources, daily rewards, re-spawn timer reductions, ant skins nor visual changes of any type. Getting creatures in these Events is harder because the red ants and aphid farms re-spawn time isn't reduced, thus they won't give as much activity points per day as they do on major events.

## Editions

There has been one editions of this Event, each occurring after the Halloween Events.
