Sixgill Shark

The **Sixgill Shark** is named after its distinctive characteristic, six gills. This is in sharp contrast to the five gill set found in most Shark builds.It has been known to take advantage of whale falls and can be playable in The Abyss server.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. While normally slow, this build is capable of the [Speed Burst] ability which it uses to body other players. It can saw builds too large to fit through its mouth into smaller loot pieces. Its only bad matchups are the Great White Shark, Orca and the Sea Lion.

Mouse

Range: 4

Mouse an echo fighter of a rat Commonly kept by human mains a support main. They are similar to rats in appearance but the they do have behaviour differences like how they are nocturnal and that they are less agressive than rats. This is further triggered by how they are kept as a support main to humans. Because they don't need to spend evolution points being aggressive, they are much better of spending evolution points on other things. In addition mice are smaller than rats meaning that they can fit through smaller gaps than a rat. In terms of their tier placement, mice are probably high B tier at worst as they have no real threat apart from cats but even then they are smaller so they can fit through small crevices. In addition they also respawn quickly meaning that they can develop faster to a changing environment faster than a lot of other mammals. They can also carry several deadly diseases especially to humans which is why human mains don't just pick up any mice they find as a support class.

## Stats

### Intelligence

Mice are rodents which by standard are high in intelligence. Many people of the outside community believed that mice have less intelligence than rats although having the same intelligence stats but more and more players are starting to discourage that belief as it has been seen that mice have many of the same high quality traits as rats such as dogding traps that humans set up.

### Mobility

Mice aren't the fastest of creatures but at only around 12 kilometres per hour but they can fit through smaller place giving mice just a slightly higher mobility stat than rats as rats are larger in size meaning their hitbox is larger so that they can't get through smaller sizes all though their incisor teeth do give them a bonus

### Health

Mice are small meaning that they don't have as high of a health bar. Another disadvantage of being small is cancer as cancer is usually more prevelant in smaller builds. This means that mice have a slightly lower health stat than that of a rat.

### Stealth

Going along with the common thing of being small, being small also grants a higher stealth bonus. In addition, their (usually) brown colouring makes them able to blend in with wood and branches of trees and urban biomes.

## Abilities

### Super fang

This is the rodent's signature ability. Basically they can easily destroy structures like trees walls and many more.
Ophthalmosaurus

Ophthalmosaurus (Eye Lizard) for its extremely large eyes, was a banned Icthyosaur build from the Mid-Late Jurassic meta. These builds could have dived up to 600 meters deep They typically ate Fish, Squid and Belemnite players.

## Overview

Its nearly toothless jaw would have beem an inescapable grip for Squid players, but this thing had below-average Power. It was decently bulky, giving it a good Health stat. It had a decently good Mobility stat, which is not much considering Jurassic expansion Icthyosaur mains already specced into thunniform swimming styles, drastically improving their Mobility compared to their Triassic counterparts. Their other stats were average at best.

## Moveset

**Live Birth (Active,Support)**- Carry respawn points with you, which decreases chances of getting a game over while on the character selection screen.

**Heat Exchange Circulatory System (Passive, Utility)**- Constant stamina level any time of the day, allows for increased stamina regen.

**Parental Care (Active, Misc.)**- Protects players on the character selection screen as well as early game players.

**Creep Eyes (Passive, Utility)**- All Stealth bonuses from the abscence of light are ignored.

**Depth-Reinforced Bones (Passive, Utility)**- Minimizes damage from the [Bends] debuff.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. While it was not different from many Icthyosaur builds save for their decent bulk at first glance, their ability to hunt effectively at low depths longer than other Icthyosaur mains is their main forte. This tactic allowed them to dodge the main griefer of Jurassic Icthyosaur mains, the Pliosaur better than most other mains during that time, as well as exploit a new loot source in the form of Squid players. However, they cannot avoid this forever, and like any marine tetrapod player, they would have to surface, which would put them at risk.

Pilot Whale

The pilot whale is a Whale build that is widespread around the world. These builds are the second largest Dolphin builds in the game, the largest being the S-tier Orca. The heavyweight members of the Dolphin guild are also known as blackfish.

## Tier Placement

These builds have the Intelligence of a Bottlenose Dolphin as well as even better Health. It also has a great matchup against Shark and Orca, the latter normally an unwinnable matchup because of its great team strategies and high Power aside from the basic [Echolocation] ability. It also has the ability to maintain an active playstyle at lower depths, which is also considered unorthodox since most deep sea builds oftem lower their metabolism. However, since it beaches often, this build is locked in low S-tier.
Crow

Crows are midweight to heavyweight builds in the genus Corvus.

## Tier Placement

s tier. These builds are basically upgrades of Pigeon builds with higher Intelligence. Crows are S+ tier in the City biome, They use the environment to their advantage, such as dropping loot onto roads for them to get run over by cars and cracked, and have basic tool use.
Shoebill

Shoebill's stats

**Shoebill** or Whale-headed Stork is a medium-large water bird build with a machine gun sounding beak. It resembles aves from the Jurassic-Cretaceous period and Ice Age Terrorbirds.

## Tier Placement

Boasting great power, it is able to rival medium to large reptiles like crocodiles. Its Intimidation is also its strong suit with its piercing death stare and loud clattering beak. Its stealth on land is subpar as its gray tone attracts attention among grassy fields. They are also good ambush predators that waits for opportunity before lunging at their enemies. Their wide feet also allows them to walk on vegetations and their wingspan is massive, stretching to 2.5 metres. They are not impeded much by their slow flap rate and they can also boost aerodynamics by retracting their long necks.

Due to the wetland habitat damage, they became endangered. This is mitigated by their long lifespan of around 35 years and them tending to their eggs and young like incubation. Their claws are not sharp or big enough to cause significant damage and it does prove to be a challenge as their long neck can be targeted if they try to lunge.
Oryx

## Oyrx

The oryx is a Spacing mammal build that plays on the African and Middle Eastern servers.

## Abilities and Skills

### Heat Resistance

Oryxes are able to lower their body heat, thus being able to thrive in desert servers that could mean a game-over for other builds

### Horns

The horns of the Oryx build are great spacing tools, and are great at defending the player from predator mains, and for dueling other Oryx mains. A single attack from an Oryx's horns could mean a game-over for an inexperienced lion main.

## Tier Placement

The Oryx build is most likely A tier. It has great matchups against most builds in its area, is well adapted for its home server, Africa, one of the most hardcore servers, and has decent intelligence. However, it does not have a good matchup against humans, being ganked extensively for its horns.
Pelican eel

Pelican eels are abyssal builds which are fish. Pelican eels put most of their evolution points into the ability to swallow anything located in their server so they have a huge power stat. Their main flaw is very low mobility. Eels normaly aren't very mobile but most of them can retreat into crevices in the reef but, pelican eels are open water predators. Since it's an abyssal build and most abyssal builds have low mobility it will be placed in B Tier.
Megacerops

Megacerops (echo fighter:Brontotherium) was a banned Perrisodactyl build fron the North American server. They were also the largest playable terrestrial Mammal build during the Eocene. Despite resembling Rhinoceros mains, it was actually closely related to Horse builds. Unlike playable Rhinoceros mains, their horns were made of bone, not keratin.

## Overview

These builds have low Mobility, which reflected its lumbering nature. It had rather good horns of bone, thus having a rather high Power stat. It also had a rather low Intelligence stat for a build. Its size gave it high Health and with it, rather high Defense.

## Moveset

Relying on stats, this build has only one ability.

**Ossicone Bash (Active, Attack)**- An attack with the skin-covered bony horns (ossicones) that deals heavy damage and has a chance to inflict the [Slow] debuff.

## Tier Placement.

Like Rhinoceros builds, the combination of poor eyesight and low Intelligence means they can have a tendency to team kill and target builds which were not actually enemies. However, the meta during their time would have necessitated builds with better Power and Health thus making Megacerops more important as a Tank build. Another thing to know is that their horns, being blunt and covered with skin, dealt less damage than pure-keratin horns, thus solving the issue of frequent team-killing, with a rib from a player with the [Scarred] debuff found partially healed.

Philippine Eagle

The Philippine eagle is the national bird build of the Philippines sub-server. This raptor lives in forests, griefing monkey players. This build is also called the monkey eating eagle. This is also one of the largest eagle builds available.

## Tier Placement.

A-tier. It has the best Air-Arboreal matchup of any eagle, as well as great stats due to the [Island Gigantism] trait, however it actually has a horrible matchup against Humans, only having 400 players left. Despite this they are still an overly good build. SO for now they are mid A tier, but if they manage to find a way to fight back against the humans they might become S tier just as the Haast's Eagle.
Megamouth Shark

The Megamouth Shark is a Shark main which is rarely heard about by the playerbase. It is playable in The Abyss, which is usually an odd place to find loot for a build known to filter-feed. It usually pursues a nocturnal style of filter-feeding. Surprisingly, these 4 filter-feeders specced into a filter-feeding playstyle independently of each other.

## Species

### Location

Oceans worldwide, it is mostly an Abyssal build.

## Overview

While not as much other filter-feeding elasmobrach builds, this build has decent Health. However, this build is known for being even more sluggish than them. It also had a weak Power stat, only suitable for bodying perhaps either plankton

**Filter (Active, Attack)**- Allows looting of builds from the [Microweight] class.

**Pressure Resistance (Passive, Support)**- Allows access to The Abyss.

**Electro-Reception (Passive, Utility)**- Motion shows on minimap.

**Bloodsense (Passive, Utility)**- Players with less than 90% HP lose all Stealth bonuses.

## Tier Placement

Probabky C-tier. While it has less Health than other filter-feeder elasmobrach mains, it has its server to avoid most gankers. It is still bodied by Orcas and larger Shark mains.However, Sperm Whales are also known to body this build and it has been parasitized by Cookie Cutter Shark players.

Pigeon

The pigeon is a bird build that sucessfully manages to survive the City meta. These builds have some of the highest Charisma stats, only beaten by Raccoons and Domesticated builds They also have a high Intelligence stat, which allows them to get a favourable matchup against Human mains. There are also memes of them having Human players giving them the [Bread] loot as well as trolling them in their craftable mounts by defecating.

## Tier Placement

D-tier. They have the Flight ability, and among birds in the urban meta, have one of the highest Mobility stats. These builds also have a generalist diet, allowing them to gain the full XP value of loot from trash bins. They also have a fair Intelligence and high Charisma, allowing them to thrive in the City meta with only a low risk of Human mains attacking them. However, they have poor attack abilities, thus faring poorly in City servers where Raptors are in the meta. Not just Raptors, but every other build bodies them.
Orangutan

Take his hand and reject humanity, return to monke

Orangutans are endangered orange simian apes that spend most of their time in the arboreal zone. Unlike their foster simians (check Primate for other info), they're the least social of apes, being the most vulnerable simians to surprise attacks from players using stealth. They are a great beginner primate build since they are great for learning the basics of Primate gameplay before getting into more advanced techniques.Human players gank this build for EXP & added them to the illegal pet trade. To learn more about saving orangutans, click this link: https://wwf.panda.org/\_/wwf\_needs\_your\_help/orangutans\_victims\_human\_activity/

## Pros & Cons

### Pros

* Include opposable thumbs
* Incorporates tool use
* Can build nests
* attacks are rare due to there arboreal playstyle
* second smartest non banned animal besides humans
* High-medium base stats

### Cons

* Least social of all apes
* Most vulnerable simian to surprise attacks
* Ganked by humans

## Tier placement

A tier. They're great as starter simian gameplay, having the necessary basics to be what a simian is. But being the least social, they're vulnerable to surprise attacks. They're strong, smart, & mobile, but they really don't excel in strength and mobility. And with deforestation, illegal pet trades, & **orangutan** ganking on the way, **orangutans** are becoming less viable. Orangutans only defensive ability is its fur which provides a small buff to defense. They do not have anything else due to being arboreal.

It has tool use unlocked and crafting spears to hunt hagfish.they don’t have any other abilities due to there peaceful play-style.If human players keep ganking them &/or destroying their habitat, they'd end up in B tier at the highest. Another reason they are not considered top tier is that they have high-medium base stats.

### Improvements

Maybe progress more in the social skill tree. If the arboreal zone is mostly gone, then maybe change your playstyle from arboreal to terrestrial. You can also learn agriculture. Agriculture can be very beneficial for orangutan mains due to their almost herbivorous diet. Not to mention that learning to plant trees can also help them conserve their habitat.
Placerias

Placerias (broad body) was a removed Therapsid build from the late Triassic Expansion. This build lived like modern Hippopotamus mains. These builds were among the largest herbivore builds during the Triassic expansion. It was closely related to Ischigualastia.

## Overview

Since this build was known for herding, this build has a good Intelligence stat. Having powerful tusks gives them a good Power stat. They also have a high Health stat. However,they were rather sluggish, possesing a low Mobility stat.

## Moveset

**Shovel Tusk (Passive, Utility)**- Allows you to dig. Also provides a way to deal moderate damage.

## Tier Placement

### General

Low B-tier. Its base stats and aquatic habits means it has only a few griefers to take care of, most notably Postosuchus.

### Late Triassic/ Tierzoo's Analysis

F-tier. However, by the late Triassic, they were very rare and likely were not common enough to form larger herds. Isolated individuals were easy eliminations for giant archosaur builds like Saurosuchus, and packs of early Dinosaurs could pose a threat. Placerias and its kin were nerfed into oblivion with the release of the Triassic-Jurassic Balance Patch. If you wanted to see why, look at Tierzoo's video.[1]

## Summary

### Pros:

* Being semiaquatic helps it to avoid certain griefers
* High Health
* Above-average Power and Intelligence.
* Can dig up roots for extra loot
* Few predators

### Cons:

* Low Mobility and Stealth
* Average Defense
* Not as well-adapted to climate change
* Rare.

**Warning: Placerias alongside other non-mammalian sinapsids have been known by the community as "mammal like reptiles". Data miners have recently said that they are no longer considered reptiles but rather stem-mammals due to the fact that reptiles are exclusive to the sauropsid group. So stop referring to Placerias and other non-mammalian sinapsids as "reptiles" cause they aren't reptiles.**

###
Pig

The wild boar (echo fighter:domestic pig), also known as the wild swine, Eurasian wild pig, or simply wild pig, is a suid native to the Eurasian, North African servers as well as The Greater Sunda islands server. It is a relative of other pig builds, including the Warthog and Babirusa

## Contents

* 1Abilities
	+ 1.1Thick Fat
		- 1.1.1Olfaction
		- 1.1.2Shovel Nose
	+ 1.2Squeal
* 2Tier Placement

## Abilities

### Thick Fat

Type: Defense

Effect: Extreme resistance to venom damage.

#### Olfaction

Effect: Good perception bonus through smell.

### Squeal

Effect: Causes Intimidation and calls teammates for help.

## Tier Placement

The Wild Boar is rated S tier because of its well-placed base stat allocations. It also has high defensive, offensive and evasive abilities. Its generalist playstyle makes it live in almost any server or biome. It also has very good matchups against humans. While it is true that humans have hunted wild boars for centuries, wild boars have also been proven to be capable of killing and fatally injuring humans. In fact, many human players even say that they are more dangerous than brown bears. Despite being prey for most predators that share their biome, they are so successful and good at what they do, it doesn't even matter. But because it's a tank, its playstyle makes it B tier in the City biome. However, they can quickly learn to navigate cities because of their high intelligence stat. This characteristics make the Wild Boar the highest ranking suid in the current meta.
Pachystruthio dmaniensis

Pachustruthio dmaiensis was a banned Ostrich build from the Crimean subserver. While most flightless Birds (especially Ratites) are playable only in private servers (islands), this build was capable of dealing with predator builds like sabertooths and Wolves. It also met some early access Homo mains.

## Overview

This build had a good Health stat for a Bird. It was also quite speedy for its size, having a quite high Mobility stat for its size. Their present-day counterparts can reach a sizable Power stat with their kick attacks. Considering this build had powerful legs, it would have an equal, if not greater Power stat.

## Moveset

**Apex Eyes (Passive, Utlity)**- Ignores all Stealth boosts.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. Unlike Moas and Elephant Birds, these builds have to contend with deadly and powerful predator griefers. While it still has some of the same flaws as their playable counterpart, it made up for it with higher base stats, as it was more essential during that time, and its large size meant it could reliably minimize the weakness of a long neck to some extent.

Mississippi River

The Mississippi River is the fourth-longest river in the game, this river is located in North America.

## Fish builds

### American Paddlefish

The American paddlefish is related to sturgeon builds. These builds are filter feeders so they only eat plankton. This build also specked into electroreception to detect stealthier builds. They also have a high

health stat so they can take a hit or two. These builds are on B tier kept out of higher tiers because of their poor relationship with the American Lamprey

### Alligator Gar

The Alligator gar is related to other gar builds. These builds have very sharp teeth to mimic the American alligator build which has an extremely high power stat. For defense their eggs are poisonous if eaten, lastly these builds are brackish so they can tolerate saltwater. These builds in the Mississipi river are in S tier

### Bowfin

The bowfin has no living relatives. The bowfin eats insects, small fish, and other small animals. Adult bowfin have zero predators excluding other bowfin but when they are adults but when they are young they can be griefed. Bowfin are also mainly active at night and the parents do little to

take care of the offspring. Lastly they have strong scales which gives them high defense. In the Mississipi river they are A tier

### Sturgeon

In Mississipi river the shovelnose sturgeon is the sturgeon build that plays here. These sturgeons are smaller than other sturgeons which gives them higher mobility. They also don't have to deal with other larger sturgeons. They use the tool kit for sturgeons and have feelers under their nose to detect stealth builds. Lastly these builds are brackish so they can tolerate freshwater. A tier

## Other builds

Pangolin

## Basic Pangolin

Pangolins are armored mammal builds from the Pholidota guild. The Pholidota guild was originally considered as a sister taxon to the Xenathera guild, but their closest relatives are the Carnivora.

## Unique Abilities

### Keratin Scales

Type:Utility
Effect:Blocks most damage and returns some to the attacker. (Doesn’t deal back damage to attackers using disjointed attacks

### Tail Whip

Type:Attack
Effect:A Spacer-type attack with long reach and moderate damage.

### Sticky Licky

Type:Attack
Effect:AOE loots Ant players

### Curl Up

Type:Utility
Effect:Distributes Defense evenly and eliminates weak spots

### Odor Gland

Type:Utility
Effect:AOE Resolve reduction at the cost of reduced Stealth

## Tier Placement

B Tier. They had amazing Defense for a Mammal, and also has amazing claws (which gave it high Power)) that can slash through the walls Human mains use to keep wild builds. Tanks usually have a horrible matchup against Humans, which, for the Pangolin, is the same. They get bodied hard by humans just to get their scales.

Slender Snipe Eel

Slender snipe eels are fish builds that play in the abyssal server. They are well known for their slender body and beak shaped mouth.

## Overview

The slender snipe eel is only about 5 ounces and feeds on crustaceans and shrimps using it`s bird-like beak covered with hook-like teeth. They have little bulk and intelligence, but make it up with high speed and decent power.

## Abilities and Skills

### Hooked Teeth

The small hooked teeth of the snipe eel allows them to filter out and catch small crustaceans in the water.

### Energy Conservation

Like most deep sea builds, Sniper eels gained the ability energy conservation. This allows the snipe eel to use less stamina.

### Lateral Line

This ability allows the Snipe Eel to sense movement in the water.

## Tier Placement

Slender Snipe Eels sit in C tier. They are well adapted for the play-style of a deep sea eel, but the lack in bulk holds it back, as there are plenty of builds that can take it down.
Religion

Religion is either a bug or mechanic in the game that millions of human players use to fanboy over the developer, called "God", in places called churches even though the developer doesn't make itself obvious.

This bug or mechanic makes human players believe in the "afterlife", which supposedly is a backup server for some kind of Outside 2.0 where there's no suffering; but moving one's save file to the new build is a one way transfer only.

Some also consider the idea of "God" and "Creation" cancels out evolution (due to how earlier patch notes were written) but not necessarily.
Neanderthal

Range: 60

Neanderthals were a banned build of hominins that flourished in Europe during the Pleistocene. They had the highest base stats of any hominin in history. They spent most of their evolution points because they were inhabiting northern servers during the Ice Age balance patch. They had mostly unknown stats, but we can assume that they probably similar the same INT, higher PWR, higher DEF, as well as maybe lower STL, lower mobility and lower speed thanks to them being robust and stout alongside having shorter limbs than their human counterparts.

## Why did the player base quit?

They eventually lost the faction war against humans after many were eliminated in combat since they didn't have to invest in ranged weapons such as spears and that they require a lot of food to sustain their selves which means many starved. They also tended to be anti-social, living in smaller groups of about 15 - 20, while humans formed significantly larger communities of around 500 that allowed them to be far more prominent at area denial, area control, and far more numerous, allowing them to use the [Teach] and [Learn] abilities far more effectively than other hominids. Finally, Neanderthals had a smaller player base than humans, with an estimated size of 3,000 - 12,000 compared to the humans' population of 100,000 - 300,000; allowing their population to dwindle faster.
Eventually, they were forced to quit due to competition with the now dominant humans, changing climates, and other various causes like diseases and inbreeding.

Other beliefs of why Humans won include that the Human-wolf alliance may have contributed to the fall of the Neanderthals, as Neanderthals, being anti social and carnivorous, saw other animals as either food, enemies or competitors. Whereas humans, being more social and less aggresive, where able to domesticate other animals.

Nile River

The Nile river is a fast-flowing river located in the Africa server. Considering that the Africa server is actually only for the most hardcore builds, expect this river to be just as dangerous as well. This river,just like the server it is on, has some fierce competion. Nile river builds include:

* Nile Perch (A tier)
* Crocodile (S tier)
* Hippopotamus (S tier)
* Mormyrus (C tier)
* Tilapia (D tier)
* Nile Monitor (A tier)
* African Tigerfish (B tier)
* Marbled Lungfish (C tier)
* Softshell Turtle (D tier)
* Bagrus (B tier)
* Vundu (A tier)

These builds do not play in the river. Instead, they play on the mountains, valleys, savannas, deserts, and oases next to the river

* Human (S tier) [Players from the African faction regard this with utmost importance]
* Cattle (A tier)
* Domestic Goat (B tier)
* Domestic Sheep (F tier)
* Nubian Ibex (A tier)
* Camel (A tier)
* Zebra (A tier)
* Vulture (B tier)
* Eagle (A tier)
* Falcon (A tier)
* Goose (B tier)
* Ostrich (D tier)
* Secretary bird (S tier)
* Old World Monkey (A tier)
* Antelope (A tier)
* Rhinoceros (D tier)
* African Elephant (S tier)
* Giraffe (B tier)
* Lion (A tier)
* Cheetah (F tier)
* Hyena (B or A tier)
Porbeagle Shark

The Porbeagle Shark (echo fighter:Salmon Shark) is a lamnid shark build (This guild includes Great White Sharks, Mako Sharks, Thresher Sharks, and Sand Tiger Sharks).Before the 16th century, the playerbase used to call Sharks as "sea dogs". This Gamertag is still applicable to the various "dogfish" builds, as well as this one. This build is playable on The Arctic servers. It is also playable globally.

## Overview

This build has decent Intelligence, allowing it to do some emotes.It still has the [Serrated Teeth] ability typical of Shark mains, but because it does not hunt marine mammals, it has less Power. Its Health is nothing to scoff at, either. Lastly, even in the Arctic, it has good Mobility.It has otherwise moderate stats.

## Moveset

### Deafult

**Electro-Reception** **(Passive, Misc.)**-Location Sshown on minimap

**Bloodsense** **(Passive, Misc.)**- **Strips all builds with <90% HP of Stealth bonuses.**

**Serrated Teeth (Passive, Attack)**- Each attack inflicts the [Heavy Bleed] debuff.

### Unique

**Heat Exchange Circulatory System (Passive, Misc.)**-Faster stamina regeneration

**Cold Resistance** **(Passive, Misc.)**-Damage and stamina drain from cold is reduced.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. Really? The only use for your above-average Intelligence is EMOTES? Ugh. Anyways, it has decent stats and barely any bad matchups. Held back by only having average stats and not using Intelligence properly.

Protosphyraena

Protosphyraena (Early Barracuda) is a banned fish main, one of the last of the Pachycormid guild members,playable from the Late Cretacous. It is banned, along with the Dinosaurs, at the Cretacous-Paleogene balance patch.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. While many Pachycormid mains like Leedsichthys played a filter-feeding playstyle, This build went the other way. While Billfish are capable of only [Sword Slash], [Sword Stab] and [Gulp] moves,this build had even more attack moves available, with its sharp teeth and pectoral fins, it can also use the [Bite] and [Fin Slash] moves, respectively. It also had a Mobility stat comparable to builds like Xiphactinus However, it is not top tier as there are builds that could body it, like the Mosasaurus.

Poison Dart Frog

The Poison Dart Frog is an amphibian build known for its aesthetics and extremely toxic poison, can cause immediate paralysis and death in large animal builds. They are considered only B tier due to the amount of evolution points they put in the toxins category instead of evenly distributing them such as the Cane Toad build.

## Overview

Poison Dart Frogs live in the rainforest biome. They usually stay near a water source where they can hide which is a very effective strategy for avoiding predators. They breed during the raining season of in game time. They are insectivores and have long tongues like any other frog. Some advantages are that they are dinural, even with their low intelligence have access to the parental care perk, some species of poison dart frogs have a low amount of evolution points on toxicity, and spend more on a bulkier or stealthier build. They have dorsal fins and cling pads which means that they are pretty good at dealing with different environments; They are not the best at climbing, and not the best at swimming.

## Abilities

### Poison

This means that if toxins get into the bloodstream of the target, this will have convulsions

### Parental Care

Parents take care of young until it is ready to survive in the wild.

## Potential Strategies

### Only Aposematic and not Poisonous

Being Aposematic will do the same thing as if you're poisonous. This allows you to have a better base stat spread. Unless you want to physically hurt the predator or have a backup just incase, try the next strategy

### Less Toxic Poison

Some poison frogs are less poisonous than other ones. This could be a good strategy but I suggest having a lower toxic poison, that might be able to kill a porcupine (with no quills).

### Higher Intelligence

High intelligence isn't seen much in the amphibian faction, but if you specked into higher intelligence, you might be able to outsmart and escape a potential threat thanks to all the tree players that play in the rainforest biome.

### No Poison, High Attack

This could easily be a lot easier to scare of predators

#### Fangs

This could cost a lot of evolution points, but would be really useful as you won't need to get attacked first.
Rhamphosuchus

Rhamphosuchus (Beaked Crocodile) is a banned Crocodillian build related to playable false gharials.Fossils of this build have been found in India and the Siwalik Hills.It was formerly the largest Crocodillian build but it has been downsized (although still huge compared to playable Crocodillian builds) and ended up falling from grace within the fandom.

## Overview

Rhamphosuchus was formerly the largest Crocodillian build in the game, weighing at up to 20 tons in weight. Dataminers have downsized it, but still had significantly higher Health than current meta Crocodillian builds. It also had surprisingly good Power for a build based off of a false gharial. It also had good Mobility.

## Skillset

**Rudder Tail II (Passive, Mobility)**-2.25× higher aquatic Mobility.

**Snout Snipe (Active, Attack)-**A long-range Grappler attack.

**Osteoderms (Passive, Defense)**-Creates nearly indestructible hitboxes.

## Tier Placement

S-tier. This is a False Gharial build taken up to 11, with astronomically high stats, the ability to body anything, especially Fish.

Owls

## Owl

The Owls (Strigiformes) are a guild of playable Raptors who have adopted a nocturnal playstyle. There are two types of Owl families recognized today, the barn owls (Tytonidae) and the typical owls (Strigidae).

## Tier Placement

In low B tier, there is the Owl. Owls are the premier Stealth assassins of the night sky and can fly silently, which makes it hard for any ground-based players to see or hear them coming. Not only does this make the exploration at night near impossible for smaller builds like Rodents and Lizards, but it can even pose a threat to other nocturnal rogues like Cats, Raccoons, and Opossums.

There are a few reasons why Owls are not top tier. Firstly, their Stealth Strike attack doesn't actually do all that much damage. If a target keeps its footing, an Owl player has basically no other options aside from retreating. Secondly, the Owl's Silent Flight ability is near useless against Bats as they rely on Echolocation rather than Hearing or Sight. This gives them an advantage as they can use their superior Mobility to easily dodge Owl attacks. If Owls had better Mobility, Stealth techniques, and Power, they would be much more successful and rise in the tier list. Overall, this is a generalization and average among all Owl types. There are 250 species of Owl, all with varying traits. The Owl tier list in itself can range anywhere from S to F tier but generally averages at B tier. Some notable high-tier Owl builds include Blakiston's Fish Owl and the Eurasian Eagle Owl.

Oxpecker

Some oxpeckers enjoying life

## Overview

The Oxpecker is a type of bird that resorts to the support playstyles. The Oxpecker gets rid of flea and tick players on the larger player, and in return get protection and loot in return. They often avoid carnivores because they are afraid they might eat them. They eat the parasites off the herbivore mains of the Africa server. They also feed on earwax and dandruff produced by the host. Some people think that the Oxpecker is just using the herbivore and is actually going for the parasite playstyle but we can't be sure.

## Tier Placement

B Tier. Parasites are a constant threat in the meta so even larger builds like Elephants and Rhinos will find an Oxpecker to help it get rid of parasites. Oxpeckers have a more influential niche in the meta than you might think being able to make sure that some builds can survive to have an impact sort of like a chain effect. However, if out in the open, they are completely helpless and usually stick around the bulky tanks of the African meta. This combination of abilities makes the Oxpecker a solid B Tier.

Pacman Frog

Pacman frogs are amphibian builds that play on the South America server. Unlike most amphibian builds they are stealth predators using their camouflage to ambush builds using their powerful bite which can eat snakes, rodents, and other amphibians with ease and can even draw blood from humans. These builds also counter the major weaknesses for amphibian builds. They live on the rainforest floor which has high humidity and when it gets dry they can use their shed skin to protect them until the next rainfall. Lastly their size and bulk counters attacks that would be fatal for most other amphibians and they are buried most of the time so builds rarely find them. These builds are in A tier kept out of S tier due to their weak larval stage.
