Sandbox Tree

Hura crepitans, the sandbox tree, also known as the monkey no-climb or the dynamite tree, the latter because its fruits explodes when ripe, is an evergreen spurge build found in the Amazon rainforest, but has been introduced into the African server, which has the potential for a powercreep. It is one of the most dangerous plant builds ever playable.

## Overview

Unusually for a plant build, this build has a great Power stat. With a comparatively thin trunk, this build has a low Health stat. It makes up for this with very high Defense with its spines.

## Moveset

**Frag Shot (Active,Misc.)**- Allows the build to germinate by exploding their fruits at will. Can deal moderate damage to any animalcaught in its radius.

**Sap Of Death (Passive, Defense)**- Gives the afflicted target [Blindness]and deals moderate damage.

**Deadly Fruit** **(Passive,Defense)**- Gives a bunch of annoying debuffs to most builds that eat the fruit.

**Tree Spikes (Passive, Defense)**- Provides great Defense and deters builds from climbing.

## Tier Placement

S-tier. Its boatl9ads of Defense ensures that nothing cangrief this build. Additionally, it is monoeicious, capable of pollinatingitself and making their fruit explode at will, solving the problem of low genetic diversity through sexual dimorphism. Truly a build that could be played when you want to troll animal mains as a plant.

Oak Trees

Next up on this list, we have the Oak Tree in C Tier. The Oak is one of the most powerful tree builds in the late game. It can grow higher and wider than most other tree builds. allowing it to crowd out its competition. It has thick bark which protects it from weak damage. The Oak is also protected at least somewhat from parasites as it's wood and foliage contain tannic acid, a natural deterrent. These are all solid features and as it reaches into the late game, being the most powerful and durable tree builds. However, Oaks have a difficult early playthrough that is harder than most tree builds. The starting form of the Oak build is the acorn which is a highly sought after food source for the omnivorous players as they are a great source of xp. Despite them being a great build overall, lately, they've been falling in viability as a number of small scavengers builds like the squirrels and woodpeckers has seen a surge in population recently. To combat this, some Oak Tree clans have started implementing a strategy where they will drop zero acorns in some years, starving out the local scavenger players and then releasing extra the following years which gives new Oak mains a better chance to survive.
Moose

The moose is the tank version of the mostly Mobility based Deer guild. It has high Health, Power, and Defense. They are a Spacing build.

## Tier Placement

A tier. Moose are tanks and are quite fast even in deep snow. As a result, they have specced into a bulkier build. This lets them use the Charge ability. Male moose players have the Antlers trait as well as spending points on water. This

## Stats & more

### Tier

A

gives them a good matchup against Wolf parties, with the Intimidation ability not working well against them. Supprisingly for a tank main, moose have a good matchup against Humans, causing a game over for about 200 human players each year. However, if the human has a weapon, the moose is doomed. Virus players also can hack into a moose's code quite easily, most notably Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).
Rhomaelosaurus

Rhomaelosaurus (strong lizard) was a short necked plesiosaur build with a fairly long head, being a transistional build between mid-tier fish-griefing long-necked plesiosaur buildsand short-necked, massive headed macropredatory builds known as pliosaurs which were often top-tier.

## Species

### Relatives

Plesiosaurs, Pliosaurs, Nothosaurs, Placodonts

## Tier Placement

S-tier It is certaily the best of two worlds. Its relatively long neck can easily ensure that its loot (which is mostly fish and cephalopods but can also marine reptile builds) has essentially no escape. It had good Mobility, but not at the level of later Pliosaur builds considering how a long neck can slow you down. It took down builds its own weight class by using the [Death Shake] combo. It also had the [Bloodsense] ability. And most of all, its weight of 2.5 tonnes ensure that it barely has any matchups it struggles against.

Pacific

The pacific ocean is large salt water body. It is the largest ocean and is bordered by the land bodies of north america, south america, antartica, Eurasia and Australia. There are many islands in the ocean. The deepest point in the ocean, the Marian trench, is located here.

### Water currents

The current enter the ocean from the south near antartica. Then in current go in a circle in the south pacific, called the south pacific gyre. From the Artic . The water current go in a circle near siberia through the bearing straight.this is the subpolar gyre.(Fed by the two gyres) in the north pacific The north Atlantic gyre also arises. The south Atlantic gyre in the biggest
Rainbow Trout

The Rainbow Trout is a Fish mostly playable in the Pacific server but has since been to other servers.They are more closely related to Pacific Salmon mains.

## Overview

These builds have medium-low Health.This build can surprisingly eat Rodent mains, giving them decent Power. The rainbow stripes may give it next to zero Stealth, but this build actually has specced into simple camouflage. But their best stat, however, is Mobility, due their [Rainbow Rush] ability. All other stats are mediocre.

## Moveset

**Adaptive Gills** **(Passive, Misc.)**-Allows switching between freshwater and marine servers without HP-sapping debuffs.

**Rainbow Rush (Active, Mobility)**- 4× speed bonus.

**Streamlining (Passive, Mobility)**-Increases Mobility by 80%.

## Tier Placement

Unlike most Salmon builds, this build belongs to C-tier in virtue of its greater stats, most especially Mobility which allowed it to escape unfavourable matchups.

Mosquito

Mosquitoes are flying insect players that appeared in the late Cretaceous expansion and are one of the most infamous known users of the parasitism playstyle greifing many large builds by draining their xp. Their additional flight ability gives them an advantage for traveling far and finding and accessing energy loot from large host players.

Contrary to popular belief, only female mosquitoes grief players of higher weight class and even that only a few times per playthrough. Majority of the time, mosquitoes team up with flowering plants to get exp from nectar in exchange for flower gaining the ability to reproduce more easily.

They also act as vectors for viruses like malaria virus which they transport around and infect any creature unlucky enough to be bitten by them. They have become so deadly they cause major problems even for humans the supposed most OP players in the game as they cause millions of deaths from malaria in humans each year despite their best efforts to stop them. The humans use of bug repellent and mosquito nets gives them some protection but still mosquitoes pose one of the biggest threats to them.
Porcupine

## Basic Porcupine

Taste Vengence!

Porcupines are some of the best animals to play as. Their defence level is high and their quills ability deals damage to any player who makes contact. They don't do much damage initially, but with every bite or swat attempt used while the quills are still attached they will do increasing damage. If not removed the quills can actually cause a game over. They also piss dogs off. The porcupines defence stat gives them a pretty long lifespan of up to 27 years.

When playing as a porcupine, beware of spacing attacks and projectile attacks. Fortunately these types of attacks are fairly uncommon. Also be aware of honeybadgers.

## Abilities

### Super Fang

Bite attack does increased damage to structures.

### Quill

Attacks that make contact inflict the quilled status effect dealing damage over time.
Moon Bear

The Asiatic Black Bear, also known as Himalayan Bear, Tibetian Bear or Moon Bear They are found in the southern Asian server, including Russia and northern China. These builds are known for their distinctive cresent-shaped part in their body.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. The cresent shaped part of its body actually increases its Intimidation. These builds also have surprisingly high Mobility. This build also specced into the [Mane] ability. This build is also surprisingly intelligent, but not to the point of surpassing the American Black Bear. Not S-tier due to getting bodied by Tigers and Humans, the latter for its percieved buff when consuming the bile of this build.

Peacock Bass

The peacock bass is a fish build from the cichlid guild. These builds are found in the Amazon river server. It is also among the largest cichlid builds playable, along with the emperor cichlid.

## Tier Placement

In its native server, the Peacock Bass is considered D-tier because of its continously poor matchups. However, elsewhere they can have great Power and Health and can easily body Tilapia builds, giving them A-tier.
Orosirian

**Orosirian** is the third phase of the Paleoproterozoic Subupdate it lasted 250 mln years from 2050 to 1800 Mya.  There are no events marking the start and the end of this period

## Events

There were 2 biggest Asteroid Impact Events in the history of the game happening in this phase. Early at 2023 Mya, a large asteroid created the Vredefort impact structure. and near the end at 1850 Mya another asteroid created Sudbury Basin structure

Later this period Devs started another series of Mountain Building events on propably every server.

At the end Columbia supercontinent was added. Near 2100 to 1800 Mya. Because of this there is Fan made period based on real events named **Columbian.**

## Timeline

**Due to the game's history corruption, what is shown here is just speculation from game dataminers so this information may be outdated, if that is the case, please update this page.**
 Big Asteroid Impact makes Vredfort Structure
 Another Impact makes sudbury basin

## Funfacts

• Name of this Period comes from word *oroseirá* meaning "Mountain Range" because of all Mountain building events.

Sand Tiger Shark

Sand Tiger Sharks are coastal Shark mains playable all around the world (except for the Eastern Pacific). They are not, in any way, related to actual Tiger Sharks, which are requiem shark builds. Despite their other name, the grey nurse shark, these builds are not closely related to Nurse Sharks either, which are part of the carpet shark guild.In fact, these builds were created by the same devs who made builds like Great White Sharks, Mako Sharks and even the extremely powerful Megalodon.

## Species

### Relatives

Great White Sharks, Mako Sharks, Megalodon, Cretoxyrhina, Squalicorax, Thresher Shark

## Overview

Its Health stat at max level is enough to avoid most gankers in its server. Since its teeth are only adapted for stabbing builds below its weight class, it only has mediocre Power. They also have decent Stealth to avoid gankers. It is surprisingly sluggish but can do pack-hunting strategies with its above-average Intelligence.

## Moveset

**Air Gulp (Active, Misc.)**-Allows you to increase buoyancy swallowing air.

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

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

## Tier Placement

High B to Low A. Unlike other Shark mains, this one had teeth designed for piercing targets. It uses its unique ability, [Air Gulp], to successfully body most builds on the sea floor. At late game, they have barely any gankers.

Onychodus

Onychodus is a banned Fish build found in the Gogo server in Australia.This build is playable during the famed "Age Of Fishes", The Devonian Expansion. This build usually operates in reef servers and is known to be a quasi-lobe finned build.

## Overview

This build is known to grow relatively large, possesing a high amount of Health. This build is known to have a kinetic skull, similar to playable Coelacanth builds, also giving it a really high Power stat. It also had a decent Mobility stat, making it able to body builds easily within its ambush range. It has a good Stealth from its ambush playstyle.

## Moveset

**Cranial Bite (Active, Attack)**- An upgraded [Bite] move that does 2× damage and can absorb larger loot.

**Saw Swirl (Active Attack)**- Deals 10% of bite damage every 10 seconds if [Bite] move lands a grab.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. This build is able to body most builds during its time. However, its reliance on hiding spots in coral reef servers, as well as its tendency to choke due to its [Cranial Bite] move keep it from becomg top tier.

Armor Crusher

The Best Defense is the Best Offense

Armor Crusher is the signature ability of the Pufferfish that enables them to bypass the exoskeleton armor of the Crustaceans. It is one of its traits that gives the Pufferfish build an A-tier.

## Effect

The bite attack or crush attack will pierce armor and bypass the defensive stat of any lower weight class build. This ability though, is not very effective against builds of a higher weight class.
Paleoarchean

Reconstruction of Overworld with Vaalbara

**Paleoarchean** was the Second Subupdate from Archean Expansion . First Confirmed players come from this subupdate and maybe first proto-photosyntetic builds.

## Early Playerbase

The geological record from the Paleoarchean Subupdate is very limited, due to small amount of footage and screenshots. Devs sometimes hide Eastereggs that give some informations. location of eastereggs- Kaapvaal cratoon in south africa server and pilbara cratoon in Australia server.

The Dresser Formation is located in the Pilbara Craton, and contains sedimentary rock from the Paleoarchean Subupdate. It is estimated to be 3.48 billion years old. The Dresser Formation includes a great variety of structures caused by ancient life Such microbial mats belong to the oldest ascertained life form and may include fossilized bacteria. The Strelley Pool Chert, also located in the Pilbara Craton, contains stromatolites that may have been created by bacteria 3.4 billion years ago.

The Barberton Greenstone Belt, located in the Kaapvaal Craton, also contains evidence of life. It was created around 3.26 Ga when a large asteroid, about 37 to 58 kilometres (23–36 mi) wide, collided with the Earth. The Buck Reef chert and the Josefsdal chert, two rock formations in the Barberton Greenstone Belt, both contain microbial mats with fossilized bacteria from the Paleoarchean era. The Kromberg Formation, near the top of the Onverwacht Group which itself is a part of the Barberton Greenstone Belt, dates back to approximately 3.416–3.334 Ga and contains evidence of microbial life reproducing.

Muskox

The Muskox is a Caprid build that lives in the arctic. It maximises the Fur skill tree, which gives them maximum defense and a strong resistance to the cold, helping it survive the arctic. However, it gives it Heat Exhuastion if it enters a place with >20°C. They are an effective tank build.

## Strategy

### General

The Arctic has little amount of plants, which makes the Herbivorous Muskox gain very few EXP, only barely sustaining itself. However, 80/100 bulk is incredible, making it take little damage from attackers and it allows them to take very little damage from slicing and crushing attacks. While Horns only give a tiny intimidation boost, which is far from ideal for a tank, 72 attack is great for Tanks as it could quickly force out intruders and can cause a devastating counterattack. Furthermore, Muskox has Herds and Livebirth, giving them a powerful early game as well, with Milk giving a great starting EXP.

However, it also means the Muskox is an extremist build, restricted to only cold temperatures.

### Attacks

#### Horn-Up

By moving your horn up, you could deal piercing damage to enemies in close contact with you, and knock them back.

#### Charge

Lowering your head down and ramming towards the target could deal incredible damage.

#### Stomp

Instantly KO an opponent 2 weight classes below you.

### Controlling Domain

This is what a tank does. Your herd should growl, trying to intimidate others to get off. If the targets are not intimidated charge at them. Females should kick.

### Matchups

#### Polar Bear

The Polar Bear can only do slicing and crushing damage. Charge at them or use kick and horn-up if at close range. You would make them back off.

#### Arctic Fox

Attack it when it gets near you. Remember to not charge at them as they have high INT.
Resolve

The resolve stat is how much a player can resist an intimidation attack. The resolve stat is a variable unlike all the other stats. The resolve stat can be increased with:

* Being in a group
* Player having a tool that is intimidating.
* Fowl Balls
* High Intelligence
* Very low intelligence

Higher resolve stat is not necessarily better. Too high resolve, and a player may take unnecessary risks, resulting a game over or a serious injury. Too low, and the player is denied valuable locations with important loot, in addition to energy loss from moving away from potential threat.

Intelligence can be used in conjunction with resolve to distinguish bluffing intimidation moves from non-bluffing moves.

## Resolve Boosting Abilities

* Fowl Balls (Goose and Swan)
* Bravery (Lions, honeybadger)
Phorusrhacos

Phorusrhacos was a banned Terror Bird build that played on the South American server. It was the predecessor to the sightly more famous Titanis.

## Overview

This build has great power and speed for its time, allowing it to take down fast builds and bulky tanks. It like most terror birds had low defense due to the hollow bones. But made it up with high bulk.

## Abilities

### Long Legs

With long legs, Phorusrhacos got a boost in perception and speed.

### Hooked Beak

Grants this build higher damage with peck attacks. It also makes it easier for this build to tear meat with its head.

### Wing Claws

Unusually for a terror bird, Phorusrhacos had wing claws. This granted it higher damage, and made it a formidable enemy. (Pretty useless cause it's wings were too small to use on offense, but it could work for defense.)

## Tier Placement

This build is overall a great build. With its great power and speed it can take down the many tank builds, but it had heavy comeptition with fellow terror birds, like the Kelenken the apex of the server, with stronger power, and being more bulkier this build could easily take this build down. This build gets high A tier.
Sleeper Shark

The sleeper shark's base stats.

The sleeper shark is a shark build, though when it was first playable is unknown. It also can't be properly tiered as The Abyss isn't well known.

## Overview

The sleeper shark is a powerful shark build that can live in cold and deep waters, even going as far down as the abyssal server. Because of it's power it's incredibly powerful in the abyssal serve, and virtually unchallenged as it feasts on the mounds of XP.

## Base Stats

The sleeper shark's attack is not pretty high, but the defense stat is decent in comparison with other sharks.this gives them an advantage against the high pressure in the abyssal server and low temperature in the arctic server The intelligence stats of sleeper shark is just standard,but the health stats on it give it a long gameplay time some even reached 500 years gametime. However, given where it lives, it is powerful enough to have complete supremacy over the abyssal server.
Coelophysis

Coelophysis was one of the first dinosaurs that the devs introduced to the game. They were high tier during the Late Triassic but fell out of the meta during later expansions.

## During Early Triassic

Just before the Great Dying, the amniote faction split into Therapsids and Archosaurs (Later changed to Dinosaurs). After the extinction pack hit, Therapsid builds played small evasive strategies and hiding in burrows but since the Coelophysis build was small and could fit through the burrows, Coelophysis became top tier.

## In General

Because they weren't as powerful as the later dinosaurs, they possibly took teammates energy after they died just so that they can survive. They also dehydrated and starved more slowly but this factor was becoming less helpful as the Therapsid guild get better at hiding.
Shunosaurus

Shunosaurus is a dinosaur build that played on the Asia server in the Jurassic. They are smaller than other sauropods and are related to other sauropods like Jobaria and Atlasaurus

## Overview

The Shunosaurus is not as large as other sauropods but the Shunosaurus specked into other abilities. The Shunosaurus does have as high defense but lower HP stat compared to other sauropods but they have high stats on the offensive side. They have low stealth and intelligence but dinosaurs did not really have a high intelligence stat. The Shunosaurus eats plants like all the other sauropods. These sauropods also lived in herds.

## Abilities

### Club tail

The Shunosaurus specked into a club tail similar to what ankylosaurs had during the Cretaceous. Their club tail did serious damage to any foe and even consisted small spikes which would mean a hit from the tail would be fatal. The tail could have also been used for mating purposes

## Downfalls

The sauropods worst stat is their intelligence which is common between all sauropods. They also didn't speck into gigantism so carnivores can grief them.

## Tier placement

These builds are in A tier. Kept out of S tier due to their smaller size.
Reindeer

Reindeer (*Rangifer tarandus)**,* also known as Caribou in the North American server, are Deer builds playable near the North Pole. These builds can be used as Support builds by Human builds, unique among Deer builds.

## Overview

This build is considerably intelligent, having herd tactics, which also makes them good for raising them as livestock. They also have above-average Health. They also have a high Power stat due to having the ability to use antlers for both genders, a thing that most Deer builds don't have. Lastly they also have great Mobility like most Deer mains.

## Moveset

**Cold Resistance (Passive, Support)**- Damage from the cold is reduced.

**Charge (Active, Attack)**- An attack that also provides an Intimidation bonus.

**Cyclone Swarm (Active, Team Play)**- Your teammates will circle and run around a vulnerable target to provideextremely high Intimidation to prevent anyone from getting griefed.

## Tier Placement

### Support

These builds have a quite high Charisma stat, allowing Humans to approach them easily. They are not as stubborn as conventional livestock, are easy to fence, feed and train to pull. If not for their specializations, they are outclassed by Horses and Oxen as draft animals, putting them at B-tier.

### In the Wild

Their strong team tactics, as well as the ability to fend off attackers with antlers without having to worry about RNG puts them in A-tier. However, if not careful, they can be griefed by Wolves and Bears, and noobs can get picked off by Golden Eagle players.

## Outside Hall of Fame

The reindeer is a symbol for Christmas, represented by them pulling a Santa's sleigh and usually flying.

Pit Viper

Vipers are a type of Snake found on the mainland New World and Old World. They include 200 builds, divided into two types, Pit Vipers (the primary one) and Old World Vipers. Rattlesnakes are Pit Vipers.

## Tier Placement

Unlike the Constrictor class, and most other Snake builds the Pit Viper relies heavily on investing into the Venomskill tree and being very aggressive with it. The two defining characteristics of Viper Venom are the Hemorrhagic Toxin and Tracking Compound. The typical strategy for pit Viper players is to sit and wait for other players, aided by their high level of camouflage and score a single hit before retreating. Hemotoxin is not a fast-acting venom type but has extremely high raw long-term damage. After a while, the Hemotoxin should take effect, downing the player. This is your queue to find them with your Tracking Compounds which will leave a trail to the downed player as they attempt to flee which makes confirming kills easy. But if all that wasn't enough for you, you also have the Vipers signature ability, Thermal Vision, which highlighting prey and complexly negating the Stealth bonuses provided by darkness and camouflage and makes it so targets can rarely sneak/evade the player. The most notable downside to Pit Viper builds are the extremely low base Health and Defense. Intimidation and Stealth are the only things preventing you from getting killed, so if you are detected by a player with a high level of resolve, there's not much that can save you. Remember, this class has slow-acting venom, so it won't be able to kill something before it has the chance to kill you or at least do some serious damage. All in all though, great build. Unique, fun, and powerful enough to be placed at the bottom of A tier.

Purussaurus

Purrusaurus is a banned build which might be the largest Crocodile build ever (rivalled by Sarcosuchus and Deinosuchus). It was playable in the South American server during the Miocene.

## Tier Placement

This build was basically a Caiman build with stats multiplied by 25. Like modern Crocodile builds, it was capable of the [Death Roll] ability. This build had an even more powerful [Bite] attack than the T-Rex. It could also use its tail as a weapon, thus making it a Grappler-Spacer hybrid. And surprisingly, it can turn to looting plant spawns, a far cry for the carnivorous Crocodile diet. Other than its Defense, Health and horns, the Stupendemys main does not stand a chance against this build.

Platecarpus

Platecarpus (Flat Wrist) was a genus of mosasaurid build that was playable during the late Cretaceous. It grew up to 4.3 meters in length.

## Overview

This builds were obviously known for their high Mobility. It had mediocre Health and Power. It had probably low Defense and Stealth. Not much in terms of stats were known about this build.

## Moveset

**Heat Exchange Circulatory System (Passive, Utility)**-Faster stamina regen.

## Tier Placement

C-tier. Just a basic tetrapod main specializied in griefing Fish players. It still had some griefers, but its good Mobility allowed it to avoid most of them. However, one weakness they have, is the [Bends] debuff.

Piraiba

The piraiba is a catfish build also known as goliath catfish. It is found in the Amazon River server, which also contains some of the most oppresive builds, like the Arapaima. This build can easily defeat certain Monkey players and even Humans.

## Overview

Due to being solitary, this build has a low Intelligence stat. It also has a surprisingly high Mobility for a large Catfish build. This build has a high Power stat and their Health stat is also very high due to being bulky.

## Abilities

**Barbels (Passive, Utility)**- Give you more Perception through smell.

## Tier Placement

The Piraiba deserves the rank of A-tier. They have the two basic Catfish abilities as well as good Power, Mobility and Health. They also have a notorious reputation of griefing and looting Human players. Their only bad matchups are against the Crocodile and Jaguar.

## Summary

### Pros:

* High Health, Power and Mobility.
* Few griefers.
* Long-range barbels.
* Large mouth.
* Can eat Monkeys and Humans.

### Cons:

* Mediocre Defense.
* Low Intelligence and Stealth

Mekong Giant Catfish

The Mekong giant catfish is a heavyweight catfish build ative to the Mekong River server. This build follows a Tank playstyle, speccing into high Health. The strategy of this build is similar to the filter-feeding builds in the Ocean servers, living off by defeating the smallest builds, plankton.

## Abilities

### Suckermouth

Type:Attack

Effect:A grab attack that also allows looting from the Microscopic weight class.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. These builds have a lot of Health as well as the [Suckermouth] ability but no combat potential similar to the filter-feeding shark players from the Ocean server. However, these builds do not really have any gankers at all., so it's justified.
Mayan Cichlid

The mayan cichlid, is a midweight cichlid build native to the Central American server. This build has already caused powercreeps in the Everglades server.

## Unique Abilities

### Adaptive Gills

Type:Utility

Effect:No penalty for swithing between freshwater and saltwater servers.

### Fake Eye

Type:Attack

Effect:Activate to inflict the [Confused] debuff on predators.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. While Cichlids have above average Intelligence, this build exhibits one of the perks of high Intelligence, pack hunting.They are also aggresive when doing the main quest. Those two abilities also give it a good edge in many servers. It also has decent Mobility However, it is not an apex predator and has many bad matchups.

North America

North America is one of the 7 continental servers. It's primarily a land-based server with a ton of different types of terrain throughout the map, allowing it to support a vast array of builds, however it's mostly dominated by high level humans.

However, there is one area in the faction “USA” known as “wyoming“ and the part in Canada called the "Canadian ice sheet" that is incredibly tough for human builds to survive, allowing other builds to grind this area.

## Geography

America's wide biome diversity allows for many potential builds. Four of the most common biomes include Forest, Desert, Grassland, and Mountain. North America and south america is the only server that sits between the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean maps, allowing for a plethora of different aquatic builds. The most notable human Factions found here are: “USA”. “Canada” and “Mexico”, with several divisions between sections of each Faction.

## Difficulty

2.5/10 North America is one of the easiest servers in the game, and therefore is one of the most popular servers for beginners, giving it very high spawn rate. The map allows for an easy start and safe, non-aggressive playstyles, unlike the extreme environments of fiercely competitive servers such as Australia and Africa. The map has a fairly uninteresting dynamic weather cycle, however, players should be careful to avoid the east side of the map during the annual hurricane season world event.

Northern parts of the server have little loot and lots of cold events.

## Builds

North America's geographical diversity allows for a large variety of builds.

### Common Builds

Some of the most common North American builds include:

* Dog
* Cat
* Bee
* Goose
* Lizard
* Rat
* Frog

#### Humans

Some of the strongest human players in the current PR exist in the North American server. The most powerful human clan in the server, the United States of America, is highly developed with some of the most advanced crafting skills currently available, and it is currently triple teaming alongside it's two neighboring human clans; Mexico and Canada.

Humans of the United States have invested into the nuclear energy skill tree and have crafted the most nukes in the entire game, the only other faction to have come close to their number of nukes is the Russia human clan in the Asia server. This makes them the only humans to currently have the global superpower buff. They are also the only faction to have used nukes in PvP.

Few but notable amount humans in this server have access to the OP gun tool than in other servers giving many other players a bad match up against them and making cities and other built up areas more dangerous to loot.
Poison

Ouch!

Poison is one of the most common defense abilities in the game. Poison is used mainly in conjunction with bright colours, to prevent other players from killing you. This requires a large investment, so some just go for the aposematism.

It still scares away opponents but requires fewer evolution points, which means they can be spent on something else. Poison is often mixed up with venom: poison requires a move from the opponent to activate (passive), whereas venom requires a move from the user to activate (active). Human mains have found that almost every poison has it's cure, being one of the main reasons poison isn't as viable as venom, as venom-users can choose when to proc their abilities, but poison abilities are passive. Different variations of the Poison ability have different intensities: ones with higher Evolution Point costs deal more damage. Milder poisons disrupt the opponent's system, while intenser poisons can result in a Game Over.

Poison is more effective against builds with Teach ability as those builds do not need to damage players with poison ability to learn potential downsides. ADditionally, it is very easy to specc into Poison compared to other elements. However, it is also much easier to counter than attacks from most other elements, as many animal players have acquired poison immunities, allowing them to attack poison-based builds withvimpunity.
Ottoia

## Playstyle

### Diet

First, it burrowed & made a U shape, then ambushed it's prey by catching them with it's proboscis. It has a high enough Power stat to crack armor. It can also scavenge. Overall, Ottoia was a versatile generalist that still has relatives.

### Abilities and moves

#### Active

● **Digging-** Can build a burrow and dig tunnels however you like!

● **Crushing-** Very good move in breaking Armor.

#### Passive

● **Scavenger-** Can eat everything from a dead body. gives less Exp but can be life saving.

● **Cannibalism-** If nessecary can kill another player from the same team and eat him. gives less Exp but can be life saving.

## Tier Placement

Ottoia, due to it's combination between most builds at the time having primitive eyes, players having primitive consoles & it's high stealth made it very hard to spot. In fact, it's biggest problem was the occasional mud slide.
Pontolis

Pontolis is a banned Walrus build. It was playable in coastal areas, in current meta California and Oregon. Its phylogeny is disputed, while some dataminers place Pontolis as a Imagotarine-style Walrus, others place it as a dusignatnie-style build instead. The family Odobenidae only includes the modern two-tusked build, but in the legacy meta, the family is actually much more diverse, with generalist mesopredators (Imagotarine-style) and tankbreaker builds (Dusignathine-style) builds being playable.

## Species

### Relatives

Unknown, possibly either dusignathines or imagotarines

## Overview

Like other Imagotariines, this build actually had a higher Power stat than previously assumed. It also had a playstyle on land similar to playable Sea Lions, thus having a good amount of Mobility. Its Health stat is only rivalled by the playable Elephant Seals. Not much is known about this build, so it likely had above-average Intelligence and mediocre Defense and Stealth.

## Moveset

**Amphibious (Passive, Mobility)**- No Mobility penalty for switching between terrestrial and marine servers.

## Tier Placement

It is placed in the boundary between B-tier and A-tier. Its bulk and [Amphibious] abilities allow it to avoid gankers with ease. This build is also, suprisingly, a generalist feeder, so it can body builds other than Fish. However, if not careful, they can get rekt by Megalodon and macroraptorial sperm whale mains.

Platypus

Aaaa yes perry the platypus

The platypus one of the three main Monotreme builds left in the game along with the Short Beaked Echidna and the Long Beaked Echidna. They are mainly known for being the most odd ball build of the current expansion.

## Overview

The Platypus is a monotreme, so its average intelligence stat is going to be very low. But besides that every other stat is pretty good. The platypus targets aquatic invertabrates hiding in the rocks and dirt. This food source is pretty reliable as aquatic invertabrates aren't running out soon.

## Abilities and Skills

### Electroreception

The most famous ability this build has is electroreception. This ability is used to find its meals like crayfish or aquatic worms.

### Webbed Feet and Flat Tail

Like most aquatic builds, Platypus has webbed feet and a flat tail. This allows the Platypus to swim quickly in the rivers it lives in.

### Venom Spine

At the end of the Platypus's feet lays a venom spine. This venom is only seen in males, but females will use the spine when fighting. The venom is strong enough to take down builds out of its weight class like dogs.

### Egg Laying

As a monotreme, the Platypus can lay eggs. This allows the Platypus to leave the eggs in its den as it hunts for prey. But it leaves the eggs vulnerable to raids.

### Dig

Platypus invested some points into the digging skill tree. This is an important ability as this allows the Platypus to make underground dens to hide its eggs and a good place to rest.

## Weaknesses

### Egg

As a Monotreme, it is forced to have the egg ability. This makes it vulnerable to raids from snakes, and rodents.

## Mobility

The platypuses land speed is well to say the least, bad, it's water mobility is pretty decent as it has webbed feet and a tail that can control steering.

## Tier Placement

Platypuses are pretty good in the current meta. They may be vulnerable to raids and have a bad match-up with humans, but besides that this build is great. It holds a niche in the Australian server with very little competition and has great stats that allow it to take down the other builds in its server that would threaten it like Rakalis. This type of build has been played by monotremes for many years and even lived with the dinosaurs. This build is getting a spot in low B tier.
