White Giraffe

* White Giraffe (Solo)
* White Giraffe (Family)

* No passive health regeneration if both members die

"*UPGRADED to White Giraffe!
White Giraffe are very aggressive and have huge legs and stomp anyone in their way!*"

The **White Giraffe** is a rare tier 13 Forest animal in Mope.io, and equivalent to Hippo, Boa Constrictor, Killer Whale, Komodo Dragon and Sabertooth Tiger. Along with the Momaffie and Girabie, it was released in the Thanksgiving Update on November 26, 2020.

## Technical

* Upgrades from the Rhino, Eagle, Shark, Wolverine, Markhor, and Bison at 250K XP.
	+ It is a Rare animal with a 20/700 (~2.86%) chance of obtaining, meaning that it may not always be available.
* Upgrades to the Elephant, Giant Spider, Cassowary, Blue Whale, Mammoth, and Blackwidow Spider at 500K XP.
* Can eat all animals below it from Rhino tier to Deer tier(this includes the Giraffe Rares, with the exception of its own family if it spawns with one) and can eat all food items except for Berries, Dates, and Cactus Pears.
* Can be eaten by all animals Elephant tier and up.
* The White Giraffe's ability is "Stomp". It works very similarly to the Giraffe's, causing the player to slow down and severely reduce their turn speed, do 4 damaging stomps with little knockback and stun, and a final double stomp that deals much more knockback, stun, and damage. However, it is 15% stronger by default and harms both prey and predators. The ability has a 12 second cooldown.
* The White Giraffe can spawn by itself or with an AI-controlled Momaffie and Girabie, at a 5/700 chance(0.71%). It is called Giraffe Family if it does.
	+ The AIs follow the player if they move or hold `W`, and roam if the player stays still. The Girabie follows the Momaffie, who follows the player. They have their own separate water bars and health, and function exactly like their playable equivalents.
	+ After stomping, the AIs will go to the position where the player had stomped and also stomp one at a time. The Momaffie will stomp before the Girabie.
	+ Upon the death of one of its family members, the White Giraffe will become "angry", increase its stomp damage by 10%, and decreasing its cooldown by 10%. If the other dies, the White Giraffe becomes even angrier and tacks on another 10% buff, lowering its cooldown to 8 seconds. Its ability can no longer be interrupted by predators' bites. In this state, the White Giraffe loses the ability to naturally regenerate and can only do so via Healing Stones.
* The normal White Giraffe gives 100 coins, while the Giraffe Family gives 300. These values apply both to the player when obtained and to the killer if killed(bounty).
* The solo White Giraffe has 6 HP; The White Giraffe with family has 8 HP.

## Appearance

The White Giraffe strongly resembles the Giraffe, except that it is mostly white. It has a lighter head with yellowish spots on the tip of its snout. It has khaki brown fur on top of its head and large brown spots on its ivory colored body. The inside of its ears are pink.

The single White Giraffe has bared eyes, while the White Giraffe Family gains bared eyes only when at least one family member has died. Its eyes narrow even more if both its family members have died.

## Strategy

### As a White Giraffe

* The White Giraffe functions a lot like a normal Giraffe, and can be played almost identically, except that it's stronger and larger.
* The White Giraffe's stomp is hard to hit because of its short range, but inflicts a good amount of damage when all the stomps connect. Its preferable to stomp on prey first to weaken them, and then bite them as much as the player can. It's imperative that most of these hit because the player is slowed down during its(long) usage and prey can easily escape while the player is still stomping.
	+ In a tight spot such as against a border, the stomp ability works better because of its intense double stomp knockback being negated by terrain. It's also more likely to connect in general.
* The White Giraffe is a Rare animal. In comparison to other animals in its tier, the player should expect to be attacked more frequently than usual because of the fact it is hard to get and because of its good coin bounty.
* The player can hurt their predators. With this in mind, the player can attempt to take them down. Note that the player has no movement advantages anywhere(the White Giraffe is not fast in Mud nor can it climb hills), while most of their predators have these traits, so it's important to make sure the player isn't backing themselves into a corner.
	+ Use caution and decent distance if stomping a predator. The White Giraffe is stopped immediately if they're hit or stunned.
	+ One animal that it can take down with proper skill is the T-REX. Like the White Giraffe, the T-REX's ability is close range, but does much more damage and additional bleeding. It's also unable to climb Hills; Its size makes it more likely that it'll get stuck or unable to enter some areas. With skillful placement, the player can stomp on the T-REX and safely keep a good distance. It is best to do this while the T-REX is distracted by other animals.
* White Giraffes are a higher tier than the rare Rhinos, Big Goats, Eagles, and Lions, meaning that the player can hunt these animals down if they choose. Unfortunately, it's not easy because of their abilities and the fact they're often in a team.
	+ Both the White and Black Rhinos are very dangerous because their charge deals exceptional damage, is fast, and reloads quickly(quicker than the player's). They are also faster than the player when boosting. Many players with either type "mini" their animal so they're a lot smaller than what they normally are. This makes them harder to hit. The player has to face a charging Rhino to stomp on them or otherwise take a lot of damage. It might be easier to get this opportunity in the Timberland, where trees can obstruct their charge.
	+ Big Goats are a little easier to kill than the rare Rhinos, but again, the player needs to avoid being hit by the charge. Additionally, the charge launches the player, which can land them in a tight spot. Big Goats can access the Arctic and Desert biomes just fine without burning, can climb hills/rocks, and can leap from said hills/rocks with their ability, so it might be hard to keep up if they're escaping. Big Goats are the most valuable of the bunch for their relatively low rarity and high bounty of 400 coins: If the player sees one, it might be worth the hassle to chase one.
	+ The Golden Eagle, Shahbaz, and Golden Shahbaz can grab the player and fly them to a predator, lava, or simply an inconvenient location. Their grabbing state is very fast, especially with the Golden Shahbaz. Additionally, they can fly-boost a large distance to escape. Out of all Rares the player can hunt, these are least recommended. The rare Eagles aren't very likely to kill the player because the damage dealt from their drop after being picked up is low with the exception of the Golden Shahbaz's, whose is noticeably higher and may serve as a minor threat.
* If the player wants to be evil, they can find a Momaffie or Girabie(player, not AI), and pretend to protect them, only to betray them in the middle of a chase or when their health is low.
* If the player wants to simply farm, they can provoke a Beehive and attack the Honey Bees. The White Giraffe has a good amount of health and can withstand the stings well, although it's important that the player avoids being tailbit because it does more damage than a simple sting.
* The White Giraffe has no special terrain advantages. Avoid lingering in water or mud bodies for any duration of time.

### With a Giraffe Family

* The Giraffe Family can be played pretty much like the normal White Giraffe. The main difference is that the player needs to regularly keep their AIs hydrated, which is as easy as lurking in a River.
* The White Giraffe itself has more health than the sole iteration, so it's better to fight predators with.
	+ If the player wants to focus on purely targeting predators, it's best to kill off their family via lava(currently does not work due to a bug), tempting predators to the family(but not to the player), etc. The White Giraffe's stomps become quite powerful after this and reloads rapidly, although the player needs to watch their health.
* The AIs stomp after the player stomps. This can sometimes be risky and get them killed, but also works as a meat shield in some cases.
* The White Giraffe loses the ability to heal naturally if their family dies. While the player is fairly tanky, it takes a long time to heal at a Healing Stone, so any damage should be healed promptly when the player is safe.
* Expect to be targeted frequently. The White Giraffe Family has a bounty of 300 coins, so it's bound to be attacked by monsters and such.

### Threats

* As with other animals in its tier, its immediate threats are tier 14 and tier 15. In comparison to its equivalents, it's more often targeted by Monsters because of its lack of versatility and coin bounty. This is especially apparent if the player has the Giraffe Family.
* White Giraffes can hurt other White Giraffes with their ability, a fact unknown to many. While it's unlikely, the player should be cautious around other White Giraffes in the near vicinity in case they decide to attack.
	+ In the scenario that one passes by with low health, it might be worth stomping on them anyway for XP and coins.
	+ If the White Giraffe has a family(indicated by AI and unangered eyes unless they are agitated), they have 2 more health points than the sole White Giraffe, so they have an advantage unless the player is also one. Their Momaffe and Girabie AIs may do additional damage with their stomps.

### Against a White Giraffe

* The White Giraffe somewhat struggles to move around the map because it has no terrain advantages (cannot climb on hills or trees). As such, the player will need to take advantage of this, as the White Giraffe's Special Ability can repel players backwards with ease.
