Beginner Guide: Your First Survival Run
Start with a repeatable route: learn needs, protect growth, and leave every risky fight with an exit. This guide turns the confirmed survival loop into a first-day plan you can run with any starter creature, then explains why each step exists.
Open guide →Needs managementFood, Water & Survival Guide
Food and water are easiest to manage when you measure them as a route problem, then leave a buffer for combat and weather. This guide gives you the measurement format, the source types, and the turn-around rules that keep a session boring in the best way.
Open guide →Combat referenceCreature Types & Status Effects
Creature type and status effects are situational tools. Read the encounter first, then choose whether to engage, support, or leave. This page is a reference for the roles creatures play and the effects that change a fight halfway through.
Open guide →Tier list methodBest Creatures Guide: Choose by Role, Not Hype
A tier list is a shortcut, not a steering wheel. Use the SS–C grouping to narrow the roster, then choose the creature that matches your route, risk tolerance, and actual job in the server. This guide explains what each tier can and cannot tell you, and how to pick by role instead of by hype.
Open guide →Creature spotlightScorching Deer Guide: Ash Breath & Combat
Scorching Deer rewards disciplined target-locking: keep Ash Breath connected long enough to ramp, use terrain to create space, and reserve Harden for a real commitment window. Everything below comes from one six-minute gameplay test and is labeled as observed, not universal.
Open guide →Mutations & mut palMutations & Mut Pal Guide
Mutations are rare cosmetic rolls that turn an ordinary creature into a collectible. This guide explains the two acquisition systems, which mutations exist, how the mut hunting loop actually works, and what a mutated creature is worth protecting.
Open guide →Palettes & materialsColor Palettes & Materials Guide
Color palettes and materials are the customization layer that makes a stored creature yours — and some of them are tradeable valuables. This guide covers how the palette system works, what the standard shop stock costs, and how event and shrine palettes differ.
Open guide →Tokens & gachaTokens & Gacha Guide
Tokens are the items that bend the rules: revive a dead creature, finish growth instantly, reroll the weather, or spin a gacha for a creature you could not otherwise reach. This guide lists the core shop tokens with their costs, the gacha system, and when each token is actually worth spending.
Open guide →Growth & nestingGrowth, Aging & Nesting Guide
Growth is the game's real currency: everything a creature becomes — stats, abilities, Elder access, mutation rolls — is paid for in survived age. This guide explains the age system, what changes at each milestone, and how nesting turns one creature into a lineage.
Open guide →Trading & safetyTrading & Safety Guide
Trading is where survival meets economy: stored creatures, plushies, palettes, materials, and tokens all move through the Trade Realm, and their values are community-set, not official. This guide explains what actually drives a creature's trade value and the scam patterns that separate careless traders from their inventories.

FAQ
What should a new player do first?
Choose a creature you can control, learn where food and water are, watch your growth stage, and avoid taking a long fight until you know your escape route.
Does the tier list rank every creature?
It is a role-based reference, not an official ranking. The page explains the survival conditions behind each label and leaves unsupported values unranked.
