Piranha

The **Piranha** is a  Tier 6 Pet, available in the **Star Pack**. The Piranha will give an attack buff to all other pets on your team when it is Hurt. Levelling up the Piranha will increase the amount of attack it gives.

* Changed the Piranha's ability to "**Hurt**: Give friends +3/+6/+9 attack." from: "**Hurt & Faint**: Give friends +3/+6/+9 attack."
* The above change is a change in wording only as Hurt abilities were changed to also trigger on faint.

### 24th October 2022

* Changed the Piranha's ability to "**Hurt & Faint**: Give friends +3/+6/+9 attack" from: "**Hurt & Faint**: Give friends +2/+4/+6 attack."

Lynx

## Ability

### Level 1

**Start of battle**: Deal  damage to one random enemy equal to the sum of all friendly levels.

### Level 2

**Start of battle**: Deal  damage to two random enemies equal to the sum of all friendly levels.

### Level 3

**Start of battle**: Deal  damage to three random enemies equal to the sum of all friendly levels.

**Lynx** is a  Tier 4 Pet, available in **Custom packs** and sometimes available in the **Weekly Pack**. When the battle starts, it deals damage equal to the sum of all levels of its own team's pets to a random enemy. Levelling up the Lynx increases the amount of enemies its ability will target.

## Strategy

The Lynx is a strong pet, especially if your team has high levels. The  Penguin, is a great pet to pair with it as your team should have some levels meaning that the Penguin will buff them. The  Toad is also a great pet to pair with the Lynx because the maximum damage a Lynx can do is 15. In the late game, the Toad would be good because the Lynx might not kill them. The  White Tiger is good because it makes some of your team level 3, making the snipes of the Lynx do more damage.

Aardvark

The **Aardvark** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in **Custom packs** and sometimes available in the **Weekly Pack**. When an enemy is summoned the Aardvark will gain a buff to its stats. Levelling up the Aardvark increases the amount of stats it gains when its ability is triggered.

## Strategy

* An Aardvark may look strong, but not as strong as you might expect. In Arena mode, its ability sometimes never works due to the ability activate only when the enemy team summoned an animal, which means team that are not summoning-team will be advantageous to this animal.
	+ Though, that being said, summoning enemies are really superior for this Pet. Therefore, in Versus mode it will be a decent choice against summoning teams to buff itself with the power of a  Turkey (You will only play against a few teams in Versus mode, instead of random team.)

* Overall, using this pet will either be a waste of a slot or a great summon counter.
* You can also use  Bear and  Rat to summon units on the enemy team. You can use this to buff the Aardvark.

## Version History

### 09/01/2023

* Changed Aardvark to 2/3.
* Changed ability to Enemy Summoned: Gain +2/+2 (was +2/+3)

Doberman

## Ability

### Level 1

**Start of battle**: If this is your lowest tier pet, gain  Coconut Perk and +8  attack.

### Level 2

**Start of battle**: If this is your lowest tier pet, gain  Coconut Perk and +16  attack.

### Level 3

**Start of battle**: If this is your lowest tier pet, gain  Coconut Perk and +24  attack.

The **Doberman** is a  Tier 4 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack** but still available for free in **Custom Packs**. At the start of battle the Doberman will first check if it is the lowest tier pet on the team (if other pets are only Tier 5 or 6), if this check is successful the Doberman will gain a buff to its attack in addition to  Coconut Perk. (Note that having two Doberman on the team will fail this check). Levelling up the Doberman will increase the attack buff it gains.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Doberman's ability to "**Start of battle**: If this is your lowest tier pet, gain Coconut perk and +8/+16/+24 attack." from: "**Start of battle**: If this is your lowest tier pet, gain Coconut perk and +5/+5, +10/+10, +15/+15."
* Added to the **Puppy Pack**.

### 24th October 2022

* The Doberman is added into the game as a Custom/Weekly Packs pet alongside other balance changes.

## Trivia

* The Dobermans ability was initially tested as a complete rework for the  Moose on the test server.
* The Dobermans' sprite was changed after the developers found out that the classic pointy ears of the Doberman breed were actually trimmed by their owners and not natural or humane.

Hawk

The **Hawk** is a  Tier 4 Pet which can be found in **Star pack**. At the start of battle, the Hawk deals damage to the enemy that's in the position of the enemy's team as Hawk is to its team. For example, if Hawk is placed in the frontmost position, it will do damage to the frontmost enemy. Leveling up the Hawk will increase the damage it deals.

If there are no enemies in the position it's supposed to deal damage to, Hawk will target the nearest enemy to that position.

## Strategy

Hawk is a versatile sniper. At level 1, you can place it in the backmost position for a chance to snipe summon supporters such as  Vulture and  Spinosaurus. At level 2 and 3, it is recommended to place it in a more front-orientated position, for a possibility to trade with the frontmost enemy successfully.
Air Palm Tree

The **Air Palm Tree** is a  Tier 6 Toy. at the start of battle it will give the 1/2/3 right-most friend  Coconut

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* The Air Palm Tree is added into the game as part of the reworked Puppy Pack.

### 9th March 2023

* Art and name change to Air Palm Tree from Toy Boat

Groundhog

The **Groundhog** is a  Tier 1 Pet, available in the **Golden Pack**. When it faints, it will increase your teams  Trumpets by a small amount. Levelling up the Groundhog increases the amount of Trumpets contributed upon faint.

## Strategy

Within the Trumpet archetype the Groundhog is rather limited in how much it contributes beyond very early game synergies with other pets like the  Pied Tamarin and  Squid which have very low Trumpet cost requirements.  Surgeon Fish is also another early option but the Groundhog will only be able to provide enough Trumpets for one ability trigger.

Outside of Trumpet synergies the Groundhog serves a similar role to the  Cricket as a Tier 1 that summons a 1/1, 2/2 or 3/3 depending on level although the Groundhogs base stats are arguably better and make it more likely to trade with another Tier 1 pet even without taking the  Golden Retriever into account.

Keep in mind that the  Black Necked Stilt's ability is a direct upgrade to the Groundhog's, contributing double the amount of Trumpets upon faint. As such it will often be more gold efficient to take a Stilt over investing in leveling up the Groundhog - make decisions accordingly.

## Version History

### 9th January 2023

* The Groundhog is added into the game as part of the Golden Pack.
Octopus

The **Octopus** is a  tier 6 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack**. After the Octopus attacks, it will deal 6 damage to random pets on the enemy team. Levelling up the Octopus increases the amount of random pets it can hit with its ability.

## Strategy

Octopus works best against enemy teams with low health as it can wipe out enemies with the large amounts of damage it deals. It can synergize with  Hedgehog and  Tiger in order to deal more damage to enemies and get enemies weaker. Also by equipping  Pineapple, Octopus can deal 8 damage per shot.

To counter Octopus, use **Hurt** abilities (like  Peacock and  Triceratops) so you gain a buff when attacked, or equip held food such as  Garlic and  Lemon in order to take less damage from the Octopus attacks.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Octopus's ability to "**After attack**: Deal 6 damage to one/two/three random enemies." from: "**Before attack**: Deal 6 damage to one/two/three random enemies."
* After attack abilities now trigger even if the pets faints.

### 7th September 2022

* Changed the Octopus's ability to "**Before attack**: Deal 6 damage to one/two/three random enemies." from: "**Before attack**: Deal 3/6/9 damage to two random enemies."

### 17th May 2022

* Changed the Octopus's ability to "**Before attack**: Deal 3/6/9 damage to two random enemies." from:

Level 1: "**Level up**: Gain +8/+8."
Level 2: "**Level up**: Gain +8/+8 and a new ability."
Level 3: "**Before attack**: Deal 5 damage to all enemies."

Blowfish

The **Blowfish** is a  Tier 4 Pet, available in the **Turtle Pack**. When the Blowfish takes damage, it will damage a random enemy. Levelling up the Blowfish increases the amount of damage dealt when hurt.

## Strategy

Abilities that deal direct damage can be stronger than what it might look at first glance as you are dealing damage without taking damage back.

The best synergies for Blowfish include having an  Elephant in the front. While less viable,  Hedgehog might also work in the early game. This, however, will result in a weaker team in the late game, and most likely a streak of losses.

It is highly recommended to give Blowfish  Garlic,  Lemon or  Pineapple as it can survive more hits and deal more damage to the enemy team.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Blowfish's base stats to 3/6 from 3/5
* Changed the Blowfish's ability to "**Hurt**: Deal 3/6/9 damage to one random enemy." from: "**Hurt**: Deal 2/4/6 damage to one random enemy."
* Changed the Blowfish's tier to  Tier 4 from  Tier 3.
* Removed from the **Puppy Pack**.

Clownfish

The **Clownfish** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Star Pack**. Whenever a friendly-pet levels up (including itself), it will give it a buff to its stats. Levelling up the Clownfish increases the amount of stats given.

## Strategy

The Clownfish is a versatile unit that can give a good boost to your pets. It goes especially well with  Jellyfish, as their buffs compound with each other. It's often beneficial to buy a clownfish or two right before levelling up a pet just for the extra stats. A good strategy is to run double clownfish until you can level it up. Also note that the Clownfish will buff itself on level up. Clownfish is often worth keeping throughout your entire run, although it's okay to replace it if something better comes about.

The Clownfish also works with  Pug,  White Tiger, and  Blobfish as its ability also works in battle. You can either use these pets to level up a pet in battle while you wait for a way to permanently level it up or put a Tiger behind your Clownfish to give even more stats. By getting a level 2 pug and putting it behind multiple level 1 pugs you can create a "Pug Train", resulting in many level ups at the start of battle which will then trigger your clownfish many times. Just make sure that the level 2 pug has the most attack so it triggers first. The same can be done with Blobfish by getting one level 2 Blobfish and putting multiple level 1 Blobfish behind it. A White tiger can be employed for easy level-ups, although it's ability only counts as one level-up, so if you use White Tiger on a level 1 pet then Clownfish will only buff it once. As a more memey strategy, you can simply get 4 level 2 Clownfish and a level 3 White Tiger. This strategy gives a surprisingly high about of health attack, getting your Clownfish very close to 50/50.

Overall, Clownfish is a useful pet that synergizes with many pets but can fit into almost any team.

## Version History

Gold

**Gold** is the main currency in a game of Super Auto Pets. 10 is gained each turn, but does not carry over turns.

## Uses

### Pets

All Pets cost 3 Gold.

* Swan - Provides temporary Gold to the player at the start of the turn.
* Hammershark - Provides temporary Gold to the player at the start of the turn, only works if the player has Level 3 Pets.
* Hamster - Provides temporary gold to the player when the shop is rolled.

## Rolling the Shop

It costs 1 Gold to Roll the shop, this refreshes all Pets and Food which were previously bought, except for frozen ones.
Lobster

The **Lobster** is a  Tier 4 Pet, available in the Puppy Pack. When a friend is summoned in the shop phase, Lobster gives it a boost of stats. Leveling up the Lobster increases the amount of stats it gives to the summoned friends.

## Strategy

Lobster's main use is giving newly bought pets a good amount of stats, enabling a smooth transition from low tier pets into higher tiers. At worst, it can be bought to give another pet stats, then sold, so it's 2 gold for the same amount of stats as a  Pear from Turtle pack. Stacking multiple Lobsters, pairing it with  Canned Food or  Chicken will give a huge stats boost for each new pet on the team.

Lobster's ability works on summoned friends, not bought, so it will also work for strategies like  Eagle  Pill.

## Version History

###### 17/08/2022

* Changed the ability of the lobster to "Friend summoned: If outside of battle, give it +2/+2." from "Friend bought: Give it +2/+2."

###### 15/08/2022

* Changed the ability of the Lobster to "Friend bought: Give it +2 attack and +2 health." from "Friend summoned outside battle: Give it +2/+3."
* Changed lobster to 3/3 from 4/5

###### 07/04/2022

* Changed the ability of the Lobster to "Friend summoned outside battle: Give it +2/+3" from "Friend summoned: Give it +2/+2 when not in battle."

###### 03/12/2021

* Changed Lobster to 4/5 from 3/3
* Changed Lobster's ability to: "Friend summoned outside battle: Give it +2/+2" from "Friend summoned: Give it +3/+3 when not in battle."

###### 23/11/2021

* Changed Lobster's ability to: "Friend summoned outside battle: Give it +3/+3" from "Friend summoned: Give it +2/+2 when not in battle."

Apple

The **Apple** is a  Tier 1 Food, available in the **Turtle Pack** and the **Puppy Pack**. When a pet is fed an Apple, it receives +1 attack and +1 health. The  Pear,  Lasagna and  Chicken Leg are generally considered to be direct upgrades to it.

## Strategy

Generally, the Apple is worth the 3  Gold cost during the early rounds since the stat boost is often what dictates a win, especially if it is being fed to a Pet that you plan to have stick around for a while and you do not want or need to buy many Pets from the shop.

Can be stocked for free by a  Mouse when sold and for 2 gold by a  Worm at the start of turn.

If  Jerboa is in the pack, it is beneficial for the Apples to be especially looked out for so the Jerboa can buff the rest of your Pets.

## Trivia

It was two other versions,The better Apple(which gives Double the stats)and the best Apple(Which gives triple the amount of stats)these are accesed trough level up of pets

Rhino

The **Rhino** is a  Tier 5 Pet, available in the **Turtle Pack**. When the Rhino Knocks out an opponent, the Rhino will deal damage to the first enemy (dealing double damage to Tier 1 Pets). If an enemy is knocked out by the Rhino's ability, the Rhino's ability will trigger again. Levelling up the Rhino will increase the amount of damage its ability deals.

## Strategy

Rhino is a pet that often has difficulty fitting it's intended niche. If Rhino's ability knocks out an enemy, it will repeat, potentially knocking out the entire enemy team after a single attack. This means that Rhino is often most useful against summon teams, where it can knock out low-health enemy summons before they get a chance to attack. A base-level Rhino's ability is able to knock out level 1 and 2  Zombie Flies,  Rams of any level, level 1  Bus, and  Chicks of any level, making it an especially brutal counter to a  Rooster. In Weekly and Custom packs, Rhino's ability struggles to one-shot the summons from many powerful summoners, such as  Stork,  Orca, or  Eagle. A  Turkey is also often the Rhino's worst enemy, as the health boost it provides to summons can let them survive a Rhino snipe. Rhino's ability is often useless if it doesn't kill a summon outright, as most summons have low enough stats that a sufficiently powerful Rhino would have killed it in a single attack anyways.

Rhino is also heavily burdened by it's tier. As a tier 5, it will often be added to a player's team quite late in the game, and it's ability often requires heavy stat investment to become fully usable. It will usually take several turns to raise a Rhino's stats to usefulness, requiring a player to divert scaling away from other potentially useful pets. The Rhino's ability is also underwhelming against non-summoner teams. If the Rhino can't get a knockout with it's ability and create a domino effect across the enemy team, it's ability is essentially equivalent to spawning with an extra 4 attack.

For these reasons, Rhino is often overshadowed in it's intended purpose by a  Hippo. Hippo is available a tier earlier, and fares better against higher-health summons. The hippo is also far more useful against non-summoning teams, as it's gradual stat gain scales through the battle far better than the Rhino's static damage bonus. Rhino can be a useful pet, but the juice often is not worth the squeeze.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Rhino's base stats to 6/9 from 5/8
* Removed from the **Puppy Pack**.

### 5th May 2022

* Changed the Rhino's ability to “**Knock out**: Deal 4/8/12 damage to the first enemy. Double against Tier 1 Pets.” from: “**Knock out**: Deal 4/8/12 damage to the first enemy.”

Nurse Shark

## Ability

### Level 1

**Faint**: Spend up to 6  trumpets and deal triple as  damage to one random enemy.

### Level 2

**Faint**: Spend up to 6  trumpets and deal triple as  damage to two random enemies.

### Level 3

**Faint**: Spend up to 6  trumpets and deal triple as  damage to three random enemies.

The **Nurse Shark** is a  Tier 5 Pet that is found in the **Golden Pack**. On faint, it spends trumpets to deal damage to one random enemy. Leveling up the Nurse Shark will increase the amount of enemies it will hit with its ability.

## Strategy

Nurse Shark is an incredibly powerful sniper capable of annihilating the enemy's entire team. It requires trumpets and pairs well with late game trumpet generators like  Nyala and  Highland Cow.

From a level 1 Nyala, each of Nurse Shark's shot deals a whopping 18 damage. Stacking multiple Nurse Sharks or pairing it with  Pteranodon and nothing can survive the onslaughts. In Golden pack, a Nurse Shark team can trigger a maximum of 6 times during battle. In Custom pack with the help of  Tiger and  Mushroom, they can trigger 9 times and deplete all 50 trumpets.

Be careful with Nurse Shark's positioning. You want it to stay as close to the front as possible to trigger its ability ASAP. The further behind, the more likely it is to be sniped before gaining any trumpets, or accidentally spawning a  Golden Retriever and having no trumpets left to spend. Nurse Shark can also be countered by  Eggplant messing up the team's order, or  Tomato sniping the backliners and forcing the Golden Retriever to be summoned earlier.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Nurse Shark's ability to "**Faint**: Spend up to 6 trumpets and deal triple as damage to 1/2/3 random enemies." from: "**Faint**: Spend up to 10 trumpets and deal triple as damage to 1/2/3 random enemies."

### 26th January 2023

* Changed the Nurse Shark's ability to "**Faint**: Spend up to 10 trumpets and deal triple as damage to 1/2/3 random enemies." from: **"Faint**: Spend all trumpets to deal it as double damage to 1/2/3 random enemies."

### 9th January 2023

* Nurse Shark is added into the game as part of the Golden pack.
Gharial

The **Gharial** is a  tier 4 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack**. When a Gharial is bought the player will be given an option between three Toys:  Melon Helmet,  Foam Sword and  Toy Gun. Melon Helmet gives the right most friend  Melon when it breaks. Foam Sword deals  Damage to the weakest enemy at the start of battle. Toy Gun deals  Damage to the Last enemy at the start of battle. Levelling up the Gharial increases the level of the toys the player can choose between.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* The Gharial is added into the game as part of the reworked **Puppy Pack**.

Horse

The **Horse** is a  Tier 1 Pet, available in the **Turtle Pack**. Whenever a friend is summoned, the Horse will increase that friend's attack, this attack buff only lasts until the end of the battle. Levelling up the Horse increases the amount of attack it gives to summoned pets.

## Strategy

The Horse is a very situational pet. Its ability can be powerful, but with 1 health, it can be risky to run, and will not scale well past the early game.

The obvious use for the Horse is in Summon Builds. Early on, a Horse will buff  Zombie Crickets and  Bees to the important 2-attack benchmark. This allows them to trade 2-for-1, which is very powerful on paper. However it should be taken into consideration that this is only for 1 round; buffing the Zombie Cricket alone doesn't improve the Cricket that much.

Past the early game, the Horse falls off rapidly. The attack buff is negligible; you won't summon enough tokens for it to make a difference. If you want to run a summon team in the long term, you'd be better off setting up a decent early game team and then pivoting to  Turkey,  Fly,  Rooster, etc.

Overall, the Horse tends to run hot-and-cold. On the first round, 2 Crickets and a Horse is very strong; but the Horse falls off very quickly, and an early Horse build will likely result in a weaker overall team.

## Version History

###### 18/08/2022

* Changed the Horse's base stats to 2/1 from: 3/1

###### 15/08/2022

* Changed the Horse's base stats to 3/1 from: 2/1

###### 29/11/2021

* Changed the Horse's base stats to 2/1 from: 1/1
* Changed the Horse's ability to "**Friend summoned**: give it +1/+2/+3 attack until end of battle" from:: "Friend summoned: give it +2/+4/+6 attack until end of battle"

###### 23/11/2021

* Changed the Horses's ability to "**Friend summoned**: give it +2/+4/+6 attack until end of battle" from:: "**Friend summoned**: give it +1/+2/+3 attack until end of battle"
* Changed the Horse's base stats to 1/1 from: 2/1

###### 26/07/2021

Achievements

**Stickers**  (the term used for in-game Achievements) are unlocked after achieving Level 3 with a Pet in-game. Players can view their Achievement progress via the Achievements tab in the Main Menu. An additional second sticker, known as red ribbons, can be unlocked by winning an arena game on normal mode (achieving 10 wins) with the pet at Level 3 and is represented with . It should be noted the ribbon is contingent on the first sticker having been unlocked. There is also a third sticker, knows as blue ribbons, can be unlocked by winning an arena game on hard mode (achieving 10 wins) with the pet at Level 2 or higher and is represented with .

## Hidden Achievements

In addition to the achievements that can be unlocked for Pets that can be purchased in-store, additional hidden achievements exist for certain Tokens and the  Sloth. These achievements do not count towards Achievement Progress (i.e. these do not have to be completed to get a "100%" on the "Achievements" menu).

#### Tokens with Hidden Achievements

* Bee
* Zombie Cricket
* Loyal Chinchilla
* Lizard Tail
* Ram
* Bus
* Smaller Slug
* Smallest Slug
* Chick
* Zombie Fly

To unlock the token stickers, a player must trigger the ability of the mentioned Pets (mainly via  Sleeping Pill, though there are exceptions) outside the battle and level the Token to Level 3.

The  Dirty Rat does not have a hidden achievement since using a sleeping pill on the  Rat does not spawn one due to a lack of an opposing team.

The  Butterfly also does not have a hidden achievement since the Butterfly can only exist after the transformation of a level 3  Caterpillar at the start of battle.

The  Golden Retriever does not have a hidden achievement since it can only be summoned during battle through  Trumpet.

The  Nest does not have a hidden achievement since it can only be summoned at the start of battle by the  Robin.

#### Sloth Hidden Achievement

This hidden achievement is particularly difficult due to the Sloth's very rare spawning probability, thus forcing the user to depend on  Chocolate luck to level it up or other equally unconventional means. Furthermore, the Sloth is 1/1 and has no ability, limiting its usefulness to a team. Teams struggle just to keep their lives before hitting level 3 with the Sloth, let alone getting a win with a level 3 Sloth to achieve the second sticker.

Koala

The **Koala** is a Tier 2 Pet available in the **Star Pack**. When a friend is hurt, whether in shop or battle, it will give a buff to the pet that was hurt. The stats are permanent when gained outside battle. When levelled up the stats that the Koala gives to a hurt friend are increased.

## Strategy

The **Koala** is a rather weak pet in general. However, this can be a good scaling pet if you have the  Yak (For self-scaling) or the  Leech (For scaling with other pets) since both pets triggers Koala's ability in shop.

While the Yak and Leech are it's most potent synergies, the Koala can work with basically any Hurt Pet ( Peacock,  Blowfish etc) due to the nature of their abelites benefiting more greatly from "healing" based abilities compared to something that doesn't have an in-battle ability.

Leveling this pet up is recommended because it will scale the mentioned pets faster and having multiple Koalas at once can also be an effective way of overcoming the trigger limit it has.

Chocolate

The **Chocolate** is a Food that gives +1 Experience.

When a pet levels up from being fed Chocolate, it will create an animal from the tier above in the food shop slot from which the Chocolate was bought. If the animal is frozen and the shop is refreshed, it will be moved to the leftmost shop slot unless all the other animal slots are frozen.

**Chocolate does NOT trigger buy pet abilities**

## Strategy

Chocolate is one of the more powerful foods in the game. It adds consistency to your builds by reducing the reliance of randomly receiving the same pet multiple times. Generally speaking, you should use copies of your pets to upgrade your pets first then the chocolate, since the choclate can affect any pet while that copy can only affect a specific pet.

## Trivia

* As of January 9, 2023 with the Golden Pack update, every Weekly Pack now contains Chocolate.
Gold Fish

The **Gold Fish** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack** but still available for free in **Custom Packs**. At the end of turn the Gold Fish will increase its own sell value. Levelling up Gold Fish increases the amount of  Gold it increases its sell value by at the end of every turn.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Gold Fish's base stat's to 1/5 from 1/2.
* Changed the Gold Fish's ability to "**End turn**: Increase sell value by 1/2/3 gold." from: "**Start of turn**: Discount the two left-most shop pets by 1/2/3 gold."
* Added to the **Puppy Pack**.

## Trivia

* Internet personality Ludwig Ahgren voices the Gold Fish. Additionally, the Gold Fish is the only pet with more than one sound that it can play when bought with a total of 5 different possible sounds (all voice acted by Ludwig).

Cupcake

The **Cupcake** is a Tier 2 Food. When a pet is fed a cupcake, it gets +3/+3 until the end of battle.

## Strategy

Can be used on the highest health Pet before buying a Crab to increase its health by 3. (The Cupcake buff is temporary, but the health copied by the Crab is permanent.) Using the cupcake maybe worth it in the very early-game, where most pets don't have a have high stat, to gain a significant edge. Later on however, where scalers become more prevalent, the cupcake becomes very inefficent since you can most likely buff your pets permanently and at a larger degree than the cupcake.

Ferret

The **Ferret** is a  Tier 1 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack**. When a Ferret is bought the player will be given an option between two Toys:  Balloon and  Tennis Ball. Balloon gives the right-most friend a buff to their  Attack and  Health when it breaks. Tennis Ball deals damage to 2 random enemies at the start of battle. Levelling up the Ferret increases the level of the toys the player can choose between.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* The ferret is added into the game as part of the reworked **Puppy Pack**.

Chicken

The **Chicken** is a  Tier 5 Pet, available in Puppy Pack. When Chicken faints, it gives all future shop pets a permanent buff to their stats. Leveling up the Chicken will increase the stats it gives.

## Strategy

Chicken can be thought of as giving a free  Canned Food each turn, and should be put near the front to ensure it gets knocked out during battle.

Note that Chicken's ability only works on *future* shop pets. Frozen pets won't receive Chicken's buffs.

In Puppy pack, it's a pretty straight forward pet and only synergizes with other pivot enablers like Can and  Lobster.

### Custom pack

Custom packs that maximize the amount of times Chicken faints per turn can be created to create a powerful shop scaling team. With  Tiger,  Seagull,  Mushroom or  Pteranodon, Chicken can trigger its ability up to *22 times* during battle. A high level Chicken and Tiger are capable of maxing out the shop in a single turn.

## Version History

Otter

The **Otter** is a  Tier 1 Pet, available in the **Turtle Pack**. When bought, the Otter will increase the stats of a random friend by +1 health. Levelling up the Otter will increase the amount of friends that it gives the +1 health buff to. Like all Buy pets, the Otter's ability will also activate when an Otter from the shop is merged with an existing Otter, which is the only way to activate the Level 2 and Level 3 effects. If there is only one other pet on the team and the Otter's level 2 or 3 ability is triggered it will still only buff the pet for 1 health once and the extra stats will go to waste.

## Strategy

The Otter is a powerful Tier 1. Although it has mediocre stats, its ability makes up for it. Leveling it up early can result in a big advantage in scaling, and will provide a lot of early wins if used correctly. If one has gotten lucky and found a large amount of Otters it can be worth going for level 3 and keeping it on your team to buff a  Bison.

The Otter is recommended to be bought directly on top of other Otters so they won't accidentally buff other Otters. Caution should also be taken when buying an otter while you have pets on your team that you don't intend to keep for very long as the stats will go to waste when they are sold or  Sleeping Pilled.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Otter's base stats to 1/3 from 1/2
* Changed the Otter's ability to "**Buy**: Give 1/2/3 random pets +1 health" from: "**Buy**: Give 1/2/3 random pets +1/+1".

### 14/04/2022

* Changed the Otter's ability to "**Buy**: Give 1/2/3 random pets +1/+1" from: "**Buy**: Give a random pet +1/+1, +2/+2, +3/+3"

## Trivia

* In it's Classic sprite, the Otter is holding a seashell, something Otters tend to do in real life.

Baby Duck

The **Duckling** is a Tier 1 Pet introduced in Star Pack. On sell, it will give an additional +2 Health to the leftmost shop pet.

## Strategy

The **Duckling** is one of the most weakest Tier 1 Pets in the game. Although not as good as its predecessor Duck, this pet can be very situational. If you are doing a buy-sell team, this pet can be in handy. Whether triggering the ability of the Starfish, or a free buff for the Buffalo, you can do whatever you want. Leveling this up to Level 3 and then selling it can help many Hurt pets such as the Camel, Blowfish and thePorcupine.
Falcon

The **Falcon** is a  Tier 4 Pet, available in the **Golden Pack**. When it knocks out a pet, the Falcon will summon that pet at a set amount of stats and level. Levelling up the Falcon increases the base stats and level of the summoned pet.

Falcon cannot summon another Falcon.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Falcon's ability to "**Knock out**: Summon one 3/3, 6/6, 9/9 level 1/2/3 copy of it. Works 3 times per battle." from "**Knock out**: Summon one 3/3, 6/6, 9/9 level 1/2/3 copy of the knocked out pet. Works 5 times per battle."
* Changed the Falcon's ability so that a Falcon cannot summon another Falcon.

### 6th March 2023

* Changed the Falcon's ability to have a trigger limit: "Works 5 times per battle" from: An unlimited number of times.

### 26th January 2023

* Changed the Falcon's base stats to 5/5 from 4/4.

### 9th January 2023

* The Falcon is added into the game as part of the **Golden Pack**.
Flea

The **Flea** is a  Tier 3 Pet, available in the **Golden Pack**. When it faints, it gives the Weak  ailment to the enemy teams healthiest pet. Levelling up the Flea increases the amount of enemies it can target, with priority still being given to the healthiest enemies.

## Version History

### 26th January 2023

* The Flea's base stats is changed to "3/1" from "1/1".

### 9th January 2023

* The Flea is added into the game as part of the Golden Pack.
Faint (Trigger)

**Faint** is an ability trigger that activates when a pet loses all of its hp. This most commonly happens in battle, but can also activate in the shop with the assist of the Sleeping Pill.

## Strategy

Faint is one of the most common triggers in the game. Therefore, there a lot of interactions with it. Usually, every pet has one change to faint in the game, making the abilities very consistent. However, there are ways to get more value out of your faint pets.

Faint abilities are usually pretty strong, so are commonly useful to achieve in shop:

* The easiest way to do so is with the use of the Sleeping Pill. Only costing 1 gold, the pill can activate most abilities for cheap, and is vital in every pack containing powerful faint pets like Mammoth or Blobfish.

* Another way to faint an animal in shop is the Praying Mantis. while being pretty situational, requiring a sacrifice every turn, this pet supplies free and reliable faint triggers.

* Lastly, if a Leech is put behind a pet with 1 health at the end of the turn, it also faints it. This can be used in certain circumstances, and is easier to pull off if the pet's health is reduced via Fried Shrimp.

In battle, there are 2 ways to get extra faint triggers:

* Use Mushroom on a pet. upon fainting, it'll summon a copy of it as a 1/1, creating another faint opportunity. If there isn't enough space (e.g if used on a frontline Deer) the extra pet won't spawn.
* Put a Whale behind the pet. when the whale faints, it'll summon an extra copy of the swallowed pet.

A lot of pets, while not having a faint trigger themselves, get value from other friendly pets fainting. Those include Shark, Ox, Fly, and Vulture. Since many of the faint pets summon pets themselves, those pair well with those pets.

Since faint pets that summon other pets are so common, they are very often part of **summon teams,** getting value from pets like Turkey.

Frilled Dragon gets temporary buffs for each faint pet in the team.

Parrot is very often put behind faint pets.

Though Panda is not categorized as a **Faint** pet, its ability causes it to faint. Similarly, Wombat is not categorized as a **Faint** pet but it gains a **Faint** trigger in battle if the enemy has a pet with a **Faint** ability.

## Pets

### Friend Faint Abilities

This abilities trigger upon a friend fainting and have the word *faint* in their trigger but cannot be summoned from Orca, can't be copied by Wombat, and don't trigger Frilled Dragon's ability

## Trivia

Triggers
Chameleon

The **Chameleon** is a  Tier 4 Pet, available in the **Puppy Pack**. When Chameleon faints, it activates the team's friendly toy's ability. The ability will be activated on the same level as the Chameleon's level, regardless of the actual level of the toy.

Chameleon will activate the second half of the ability's description. For example with  Balloon, it will activate "Give the right-most friend +1  attack and +1  health", and ignore the "**Break**" condition.

## Strategy

Chameleon is a powerful tier 4 that gets stronger as the team gains better toys. Toys often have strong abilities because they either only work in battle or take 2 turns to be activated. With Chameleon however, they can be activated at will and multiple times, especially when used with  Sleeping Pill and  Puma. Chameleon can either be a formidable sniper, a scaler, a perk giver depending on the toys you have.

In Custom packs with  Tiger,  Mushroom,  Pteranodon, Chameleon can be triggered many many times and become an endless fountain of stats or a snipe carpet bomb.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* The Chameleon is added into the game as part of the reworked **Puppy Pack**.
Rocking Horse

The **Rocking Horse** is a Hard Mode Toy, available from Tier 5 onwards.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Rocking Horse's ability to "**All enemies fainted**: Summon three 6/4 enemy Horses. Works 1 time per battle." from: "**All enemies fainted**: Summon three 4/4 enemy Horses. Works 1 time per battle."

### 6th March 2023

* The Rocking Horse is added into the game alongside the Hard Mode difficulty option.
Kiwi

The **Kiwi** is a  Tier 1 Pet, available in the **Star Pack** (and unavailable in the **Weekly Pack**). Upon sell, it gives a random friend with  Strawberry a relatively sizeable buff. Levelling up the Kiwi will increase the size of the stat buff it gives when sold.

## Strategy

The **Kiwi** has average stats with an above average sell ability, of which is balanced via the 3 gold cost of the  Strawberry. It will trade with most other Tier 1 pets and shouldn't be underestimated as a buy/sell pet.

Due to being a Tier 1 Pet with sell ability, it is suggested to sell it as soon as possible because you will get more powerful pets later.

That said, it is a powerful ability and can debatably justify the use of Strawberry (and potentially other Strawberry Pets) in customs for the Kiwis ability alone, as it gives a permanent buff with more health than attack which is arguably more useful in early turns. Stacking up some Kiwis before giving a Strawberry to a Tier 2 or 3 pet that you plan to keep for an extended period can be quite effective to bring recently pivoted pets up to and even ahead of the scaling curve.

## Trivia

Faint Pets

Faint Pets are Pets that will trigger their ability upon fainting.

 Mushroom is almost always a good candidate for a held food item to put on a Faint Pet, as it will allow their ability to trigger an additional time.

**There are 3 main ways for a Pet to faint:**

* They are defeated by an enemy in battle. The effects granted by a Pet that faints this way are temporary and only last for that specific battle.
* In the shop by a  Sleeping Pill. The effects granted by a Pet that faints this way are permanent.
* By a  Praying Mantis at the start of turn. The effects granted by a Pet that faints this way are permanent.

This table includes most basic faint pets, with the exceptions of Food Perk Pets, Trumpet Pets and Summon Pets due to their own archetypes being large enough to warrant their own class page.

Ailments and Enemy stat reduction pets are included in the damage dealing column to reduce table bloat.

Faint ability enablers and Friend faint ability pets are also included for their high relevance to the Class as a whole.
Lemon

The **Lemon** is a  Tier 5 Food, available in the **Puppy Pack** but still available for free in **Custom Packs**. Feeding a Pet a Lemon will give them the Lemon perk. A Pet with Lemon perk will take 7 less damage from all sources up to two times before the Lemon perk will break.

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Lemon perk's effect to "Take 7 less damage, twice." from: "Take 4 less damage."
* Added to the **Puppy Pack**.

Hyena

**Hyena** is a Tier 5 Pet, available in the **Weekly Pack** and **Custom Packs**. It has unique ability for each level but mostly follows along the line of swapping and shuffling all pets (your pets and the enemy's pets) - generally causing random chaos.

## Strategy

Hyena’s ability is interesting, but is not actually worth buying in most cases. It only swaps the stats of all Pets, and is outclassed by nearly all other Tier 5 Pets.

Its level 1 effect has very little impact at all. While it is possible that it can mess up some of your opponents hurt-trigger pets if they have a lot more health than attack, if you're playing the same pack as your opponent, it's very likely that you're going to be messing yourself up just as much (which is not much at all, to be fair). At level 2 is when the Hyena starts to have some niche.

If you have a balanced, wide-scaled team that doesn't care much about order, a level 2 Hyena can be used to counter enemy synergy strategies that rely heavily on team order, such as  Shark teams,  Turkey/ Fly teams, etc. Due to the Hyena's start-of-battle shuffle, it pairs well with the  Komodo, as both of these pets have the same negative effect on your team and thus pairing them doesn't hurt your team any more than having just one (though the Komodo is not a very good tier 6).

The  Donkey has a similar effect that is easier to work with, but Hyena is nice because it is guaranteed to go off at the start of every battle. A level 2 Hyena fills the same niche as a level 2 or 3  Seahorse, a tier 1 pet. So while its shuffling effect is useful, the Hyena doesn't really have any redeeming factors (such as high base stats) to make it worth swapping out if you've already kept a Seahorse from the early game.
Bison

The **Bison** is a  Tier 4 Pet, available in the **Turtle pack**. At the end of turn, the Bison gains a boost to its stats, but only if there is at least one other level 3 pet on the team. Leveling up the Bison will increase the amount of stats it gains.

A Bison is *not* its own friend. A level 3 Bison with no other level 3 friends will not trigger its ability.

## Strategy

Bison is a mid game self scaler that can carry the team all the way until the game ends. It requires a level 3 friend on the team, which can be achieved early on by hunting for duplicates and leveling up tier 1 and 2 pets.  Fish and  Otter are solid targets to push for level 3, but anything else will also work. By late game, you can either get rid of this level 3 in favor of stronger pets or other forms of scaling, or level up a different pet to level 3 to maintain Bison's scaling.

One common strategy is keeping half leveled pets until turn 5, then leveling all of them up for a chance to spawn an early Bison. This becomes even more effective if the level ups result in a level 3 pet, which means you can have a self scaling Bison immediately on that turn.

Having 2 level 3 Bisons on the team that buff each other is a strong strategy, but hard to come by.

Beware of these common pitfalls while running Bison:

* **Buying Bison before you have a level 3**: This is not inherently bad, but you should be able to reevaluate when it's time to ditch the Bison if the level 3 is taking too long to show up. Bison scaling takes up 2 slots, not 1, ditching both these slots might just be what's necessary to turn the run around.
* **Keeping a deadweight level 3 for too long**: Since this level 3 is often a low tier pet, you should not overvalue Bison's buff over a potentially stronger pet.
* **Forgetting Bison needs a level 3 friend**: *"Why am I keeping a Fish around? Let's sell it to buy a Cow."* \*clicks End turn\* \*Bison shakes violently\* *"Oh right that's why."*

## Version History

### 8th June 2023

* Changed the Bison's ability to "**End turn**: If this has a level 3 friend, gain +1/+2, +2/+4, +3/+6." from "**End turn**: If this has a level 3 friend, gain +2/+2, +4/+4, +6/+6."
* Removed from the **Puppy Pack**.

### 10th May 2022

* Changed the Bison's base stats to 4/4 from 6/6.
* Changed the Bison's ability to no longer trigger if it is the only level 3 pet on the team.
