Safer first runs
Use mobility and a shorter commitment loop to learn sound, water safety, stamina, and Gateway routes before growing an apex.
Specimen index
Choose a creature, then learn the run
The roster is only the starting point. Pick a body plan by playstyle, learn the shared survival systems, then open a full dossier for controls, growth, food, abilities, weaknesses, tactics, and common questions.
Pick by playstyle
What kind of run do you want?
Do not choose only by size or tier. Start with the movement, commitment level, and social role you actually want to practise.
Pack & ambush play
These hunters become more effective when players share information, time commitments, and leave one another a clean exit.
Defensive herbivores
Choose a body plan that controls an approach lane, then learn which side must face pressure and how much room the attack needs.
Air, water & climbing
Movement specialists use a different map from ground-bound creatures. Their dossiers focus on landing, diving, climbing, fishing, and shoreline risk.
Field manuals
Guidance beyond the creature list
Learn the systems every species must solve. Each manual links back into creature dossiers and practical routes instead of leaving you with isolated facts.
