Threat
Can the animal force damage or make the opponent respect its attack range?
Patch 0.21.772 · editorial ranking
Evrima adult solo tier list
All 21 public-branch playables ranked by adult solo encounter power on Gateway. This is a matchup tool—not a beginner list, growth-speed list, or promise that one animal always beats another.
What this board measures
Adult solo encounter control
Higher tiers can more reliably start, deny, reset, or finish a fight without requiring a coordinated group. Growth difficulty, nesting value, and pure travel safety are discussed separately so they do not distort the ranking.

Error tolerance
How well does the kit survive one missed attack, bad turn, or unexpected third party?
Reset control
Can it disengage, recover stamina, and choose a better second exchange?
Terrain access
How often does Gateway offer the space, cover, water, or vertical route the kit needs?
Read the condition, not only the letter.
Species, player skill, terrain, stamina, growth, injuries, mutations, group size, and server rules can reverse an individual matchup. The placement reason below tells you what must be true for the rank to make sense.
S4 species
Encounter dominant
Can end or deny an adult solo encounter from a position of strength. Each still has a terrain or matchup condition that matters.
CarnivoreApex predator
Tyrannosaurus
Crush, fracture pressure, ambush speed, and apex mass make a clean close-range opening decisive.
HerbivoreApex defender
Triceratops
Frontal control and apex durability make direct approaches costly; flanks and stamina remain the real test.
HerbivoreDefensive giant
Stegosaurus
Tail coverage can deny an approach lane and punish a single positioning error with very high consequences.
CarnivoreAquatic ambush
Deinosuchus
At a shoreline it chooses when the fight begins. Long overland movement removes most of that control.
A6 species
Independent threat
Reliable kits, meaningful pressure, and enough control to function without a coordinated group.
CarnivoreBleed pursuit hunter
Allosaurus
Claw Swipe and Pounce create heavy bleed pressure, but failed commitments expose stamina and position.
CarnivoreCarrion bruiser
Ceratosaurus
A durable carcass controller and close-range bruiser that thrives in messy, sustained contests.
CarnivorePursuit hunter
Carnotaurus
Open-ground speed and headbutt pressure are excellent; dense terrain and tight turns break its plan.
HerbivoreDefensive charger
Diabloceratops
Strong frontal threat and stability give it dependable solo space control without apex size.
HerbivoreSpiked stance defender
Kentrosaurus
Reflection damage and defensive stance punish careless contact, especially around its protected arcs.
HerbivoreAll-round defender
Tenontosaurus
A flexible defensive kit, useful mobility, and reliable punish tools make it one of the safest all-rounders.
B5 species
Dangerous with setup
Strong when the player creates the right range, time of day, terrain, or first hit. Less forgiving when the plan breaks.
CarnivoreNocturnal hunter
Dilophosaurus
Venom and night pressure can turn a patient hunt, but daylight and failed setup lower its consistency.
CarnivorePack skirmisher
Omniraptor
Agile and dangerous, yet solo pounce commitments are much easier to punish than coordinated pack pressure.
CarnivoreClimbing ambusher
Herrerasaurus
Climbing creates unique ambush and escape routes; flat open ground removes much of its advantage.
CarnivoreShoreline hunter
Austroraptor
Water mobility, pounce, and spearfishing create a flexible shoreline hunter; placement remains provisional.
HerbivoreHerd survivor
Maiasaura
Good movement and defensive options keep it credible alone, while a herd raises its practical ceiling.
C4 species
Specialist pressure
Can survive or create a narrow threat, but solo combat pressure depends heavily on a pack, an escape lane, or a specific environment.
CarnivoreVenom pack hunter
Troodon
Venom is built around coordinated repetitions. A lone Troodon has little room for missed pounces or trades.
OmnivoreMobile scout
Gallimimus
Excellent speed lets it refuse many fights, but it has limited power to force a healthy adult matchup.
CarnivoreAerial scout
Pteranodon
Flight gives unmatched route choice and survival access; grounded fighting remains fragile and avoidable.
OmnivoreAquatic forager
Beipiaosaurus
Water escape and flexible feeding support survival, while direct adult combat pressure stays narrow.
D2 species
Escape-first
Designed to avoid bad fights rather than control equal adult matchups. Low combat rank does not mean a poor survival experience.
Context changes the result
The letter can move when the rules move
These are the placements most likely to be misread if the environment or group size is ignored.
Deinosuchus
The shoreline is part of the kit. Rank it separately from a forced land crossing.
Troodon
Venom pressure scales with clean rotations and teammates who do not waste pounce windows.
Pteranodon
This board scores encounter control. Flight makes survival and scouting far stronger than the combat letter suggests.
Austroraptor
Patch 0.21.772 added the species, so live matchups and counterplay still need more public-branch time.
