Ice is a terrain in Mope.io, that is found in the Arctic biome, increasing the speed of animals that move around on it. It was introduced on December 28, 2016.

Technical

• Ice spawns commonly throughout the Arctic biome. It is like the Arctic counterpart of Mud and Quicksand: some animals can move around easily on it, others can't.
• Animals that don't have grip on ice will have trouble turning, and when building up speed or boosting, can slide at extremely fast paces. Animals such as Snow Leopard can have massive boosts on them, for escape or to catch up with prey.
• The following animals have the special ability of "Slide On Ice", which allows them to move a lot faster on ice, with less maneuverability:
  • Penguin
  • Seal
  • Walrus
• The following animals have the passive ability of grip on ice, allowing them to move on ice as though it is normal ground (no increased speed but increased maneuverability):
  • Reindeer
  • Muskox
  • Wolf
  • Wolverine
  • Markhor
  • Sabertooth Tiger
  • Mammoth
  • Yeti
  • Ice Monster

Appearance

Ice is a large blue circle, with various terrain and entities on it. It is in the same shape as mud patches, lakes and quicksand; a slightly lopsided circle with overlapping ice on the border.

Strategy

This section needs expansion!

You can help the Mope.io Wiki by editing it

If your animal has good grip on ice, use it to easily eat and kill any prey that is stuck on there. Ice has no direct uses; the food that spawns there is normally mediocre and ice istelf won't benefit you. However, using ice to build up speed is also a good idea. Cheetahs and Snow Leopards can go shooting across at great speeds when using their boost ability; any speed-related ability can help you make a quick getaway/chase if needed.

Trivia

• The Chipmunk, Arctic Hare, Snowy Owl, Snow Leopard and Arctic Fox are the only Arctic-spawning animals that cannot move fast on ice (however, the Snow Leopard's "Extra Boost" ability can cause it to move at tremendous speeds across ice).
• One time KOA made multiple ice patches move from the Arctic into the Land biome, so that land animals were able to slide on it all the way to the desert, as seen in one of Fortish's videos.
