Species

Not to be confused with Skins, items bought in the Shop that can customize the look of animals at the player's choice, and are purely aesthetic.

---

You may also be looking for Tiers, which lists all common variants.

Species, also known as Rares, are slight variations of a certain animal that typically have strengthened technical characteristics, and a slightly different appearance that sets them apart from the common version of the animal. As the latter name implies, species are a lot harder to obtain than normal animals, and have a lower percentage rate of appearing. There is no guarantee of being able to select a species, as they appear purely by luck. Species were originally added on June 8, 2018, there have been countless editions since then.

Technical

• An animal that is considered to be a 'species' will have a distinct trait that is not shared by the common animal.
• The default animal and species will never simultaneously appear on the upgrade menu (unlike purchased skins).
• Skin Differences are usually added for rare variants, being extremely hard to get.
  • Despite this, some of the rarer Skin Differences can be not as strong as the more common variants.
• Almost all rare variants have extra/less health, and as a result, are harder/easier to kill.

• While The Snowman, The BigFoot are purchasable in the shop, they are technically their own rare animals. However, if purchased in the shop for 3K coins, 20K coins and 25K coins they are still rares, but their chance of appearing becomes greater.

Coin count = 50

Deer

Main article: Deer

Deer The Deer has a 237/300 (79%) chance of selection. It has a bright brown body, with multiple white spots near its bushy tail, and antlers.

Criticism

The Mope.io community harshly criticized the rare buff on March 12, 2020, which according to KOA was an attempt of integrating Wild Mope into FFA to make up for Game Modes not coming back. The main source of criticism was abilities being too overpowered, specifically for the Golden Eagle, White/Black Rhino, Aqua Yeti, and Jackass. It was argued that said rares ruin the game as apexes (especially the Black Dragon) had no chance against a gang of them, because they were too powerful to fight off and there were too many of them due to the fact that they weren't rare enough. The backlash went on for a while, until KOA finally decreased the rarities around August, nerfed Golden Eagle and the rare Rhinos, satisfying most players.

Trivia

• When asked if there will be more animals with skin differences, Sam.ple said that Clickstan didn't like the idea, even though Sam.ple did.
• Some of the animals may have unknown chances.
• The White Rhino was the first Rhino variant to be added, the Black Rhino was added much later.
  • Interestingly, the White Rhino was currently rarer than the Black Rhino, after an update on the chance of both variants, now the Black Rhino is rarer than the White Rhino.
