Gotta remember, human players are pretty much the only build in the game that cares about where its food is when its consumed. This is because their high INT stat has made them aware of the microbiome players.
The city meta is also the only biome where stats like charm and persuasion can actually be used to acquire loot, just find the right human and pass a few checks and you'll have a near constant stream of XP. Too many builds are sleeping on this strategy.
That strategy can easily backfire, though - you'll need good mobility to get away if the human is intimidated or has a randomly-assigned phobia. Though looking charming and non-threatening is likely how some builds, especially birds, can get some easy EXP. Quite often you'll find human mains with food placed outside their house in a cage specfiically designed for wild birds to access.
There's some good clips of invasive hog control on YT... it's brutal but necessary, hogs will tear up the land, eat anything, and attack everything including humans. Nevermind how quickly they reproduce.
Killing a cat as a coyote is like PvPing someone just under your lvl but then his friend who is a nolife grinder with broken stats comes and oneshots you from nowhere.
Well, due to the human's strong grabbing skill that can rip off limbs, that's surely very powerful. limbs smaller than the human's arms can be easily ripped off, as it takes most of the attacked animal's blood, the humans can also stomp a downed creature, inflicting skull damage or destroying organs like the heart, or lungs, so the humans are very OP in city meta.
@Mutated Pearl i mean he isnt wrong,humans can defeat small to mid size players without any equip,altho using said equip can secure a quick elimination,fighting said small to mid tier palyers ,can end up on the human player getting rabies or any other disease,so its safer to use equip,sharp ones and long ranged are a really good choice
Edgard Tucson bro, human mains can easily one shot coyotes without even approaching them, also they do have an item called "cellphone" which can give them access to a unique universal chat to call in higher leveled player with better items to basically one shot you with ease.
@@Hawk1sdead so I’m guessing you don’t know roaches are apart of the class insecta which is apart of the phylum Arthropoda, which are, ya know, in the kingdom Animalia? Aka…animals….?
Never underestimate the importance of the "cuteness" quality, when living around humans it can come in clutch. Similar to how the luck mechanic works, but with a combination of the charisma metric. Can really save your skin.
@OHGAS protecting panda habitat means protecting lots of other creatures too, so it's worthwhile in that sense. Besides, pandas aren't even on the endangered list anymore.

8:24 holy shit that squirrel is so smart. The way it kept strafing left and right to create distance and reach the tree was the only way it could've made it out safely
@@alexh2717 As I recall there are a few builds that can utilize the strafe dodge strategy in this game, not just squirrels. Gazelles sometimes strafe left and right (while continuously moving forward) to throw off attackers' aim and tracking in PvP.
I think another hidden ability that is very useful in city biomes is cuteness or appealability toward humans. It’s best not to be seen by them, but if you are seen as cute by them you may be able to collect additional loot.
@@Crichjo32 in fact, maxed out cuteness can even gain the player human allies if the player is in trouble. I posit with this alone, cuteness can in the right conditions be considered OP.
I mean, it works. The gull build isn’t aware enough of Germ Theory to be grossed out by the microbial players, and pizza’s basically heavily-processed milk, grains, tomatoes, and any other bits of XP. Pretty XP-dense stuff by the standards of non-human builds
An excellent list! A small debuff you forgot to mention for rats is the "Innate Hatred" passive ability that many human mains are currently running. While most builds on the list don't draw aggro from humans unless they invade a human's base or directly attack one, Innate Hatred will often proc immediately when the rat's stealth even slightly fails. There are so many human mains with Innate Hatred in the Alberta level that rat builds are completely unviable there.
Another example would be black cats, which trigger a special variant of the Innate Hatred passive called Superstition. This passive was a large contributing factor that almost wiped the European server in the Black Death seasonal event. There are even some extreme cases where human mains have the Innate Hatred passive triggered by other humans.
Rats also have a natural repellant against humans by instilling fear and revulsion, so the hatred doesn't really amount to much since few humans will actively chase a rat to kill it. Most people see a rat and they head in the opposite direction.
@@gameboy3d943 Well, it was a bit of a team-up to grief the humans a bit, but dare I say, it couldn't have been done without us. The funniest part was when they thought the cats were the griefers and started to exterminate the cat players! Biggest false flag operation I ever remember taking part in. 30% of the human player-base rage-quit because of us! good times...
5:41 As a human main, I just gotta say, the player who carried me and taught me how to play the game, yeah. She hates geese mains, they always steal her loot whether it be health restoring food, or stamina restoring food, or just normal food, they always try to take stuff from her! 😂 one time she got into an argument with one of them and she straight up said “get the hell back! Why do you steal from me?” And the goose main said “cause it’s easy” Edit: looking back at this a year later, it’s crazy
Even though for humans it's not that hard to get a hold of things other builds would kill for Because of a half wonderful and half horrible thing we created called society
I think the premise of tierzoo, where animals are compared to each other as if they're characters you're going to play in a game, causes TZ to underrate creatures like the pigeon. Sure, INDIVIDUAL pigeons are pretty helpless, but by those standards, high-class builds like the ant and the bee should be F-tier. With eusocial insects like them, TZ recognizes the play style of trying to make the group survive rather than the individual, but ultimately that's the play style of every build, whether we know it or not. Even if individual pigeons are easily game-overed, I can't walk a block in New York City without seeing one, something that's definitely not true of the raccoon or coyote, which are supposedly higher tier.
In suburbs you will see far more raccoons and in small towns there are more coyotes. Urban biome is diverse. Survival of the group is only relevant for some animals. Pigeons definitely not among them. Maybe you are right that they should be higher tier though because they are very common. They have poor stats but they spent enough evolution points on cuteness that humans tolerate or even help them, while humans attack all the other scavengers.
@@craigrussell3062 The only thing that truly matters for any animal (except for a good part of the human playerbase) is reproducing, since that triggers the completion for the evolution main quest. By evolution stardards, the tier list shouldn't consider how easy it is to survive with a playstyle, but how easy it is to reach the point of reproducing. For the pigeons, that seems to be at least B or A tier.
@@craigrussell3062 Agree that Pigeons should be higher up in the tier list, they're pretty successful in the city meta. They're masters of unlocking basically any area where humans drop loot. I've even seen Pigeon players in subway stations, were rarely any other birds get.
While insects build are S-tier in general due to their versatility, they still suffer from the human environnement. Human players will try to spawnkill them, spawn spots are much rarer, etc... Though still viable, I wouldnt like to be an insect main in a city biome. However rural town biome is one of the best. You can have large amount of loot stolen frome human farmers and a lot of space. Definitly better
Cockroaches are actually really smart. To the point that they know what humans are, and when they are close. They would try to get a better relationship with humans, but they find our skin revolting, often cleaning themselves after coming in contact with a human
"Don't take kindly to coyotes attacking their vulnerable players" Of all the clips, the goddamn helicopter going after the lil' dog thing was perhaps the most spectacular to choose, and I applaud you slightly louder than I've been applauding the rest of this video for that.
That clip had me laughing loudest as well. Substitute the hog for a dude and the gunners with some aliens and it's straight out of some dystopian sci-fi, where a slight misstep gets a flying fucking deathsquad on your tail.
S+ Tier: Cockroaches. When the cockroach uses the fly ability, no human remains to pose a threat to them, leaving all the loot unnatended for them. Also, it posses the highest overall intimidation level of the game.
I swear that roaches could smell my fear. Whenever I try to scare one away, they always charge my way. Spray them with Raid? If on higher ground, they will still try to fly TOWARDS me. If on the floor, they will run and do circles near me, making me do this stupid dance. I'd rather encounter some large huntsman spiders. At least if you scare them, they run and hide. They kill the pesky roaches too.
I thought S tier was going to be only rats and roaches. I mean they're the only ones humans run from on sight. And can live right along with you in your comfy house.
I think you under rated the gulls, they are very sociable and are great at bullying other players (even humans) together. Also, I was sad to see that you neglected to mention the fox. The urban fox's play style is so different from its rural cousin that many consider it a completely different build (as I understand it, the main difference is in the teeth).
True, I think gull should’ve been way higher. They are omnivores that scavenge/steal AND hunt (the two most effective ways to get food in cities) and will eat just about anything. They can fight surprisingly well and are known for getting food from humans, so they’re good in the social category. They can fly, walk, AND swim, which gives them access to almost all of a city (parks, beaches, reservoirs, buildings, sidewalks/alleys, telephone poles, etc.). They are practically the bird version of rats in the city context.
newyorkny5023 it doesn’t work that way. If a roach was scaled up to the size of a squirrel, its skinny limbs probably wouldn’t even be able to support its weight, let alone allow it to move fast
@@samsemerau6802 well lets not forget the cockroach build's ability to traverse terrain squirrel builds cannot. like tight spaces and small holes. They also can fly if need be.
As someone who has worked alongside them in the mountains, I'd argue the moose build belongs in high A if not S tier. While the general rule of bulk being a weakness in the city meta holds strong for the other deer builds, the moose has taken it to such a degree while pairing it with unparalleled aggression it's typically seen as more trouble to remove a moose from a given area rather then just letting them pass through. Removing them is costly, if you try to tranquilize their aggression is increased tenfold, and since their massive size makes the drug take longer than your typical animal in the city meta to fully have an effect, trying to remove them becomes a way that can lead to unnecessary casualties. Whenever a tourist would ask what can be done about the moose that set up shop in the area, the answer is almost always "nothing, just stay away" When you consider this mentality is held amongst the humans regardless of the moose having by far the highest body count against humans in the North American servers, coupled with the fact that they're able to pull this build off in even the wealthiest and most populated ski resorts where the humans have the most resources to handle the threat, it's hard to imagine the moose build being anywhere even close to F tier.
@@AV_Action there's a upgrade called Velcro Shoes but most humans reject them because it cause a slightly debuff to the charisma skill, which humans overrate.
Something cool I learned is the peregrine falcon was at one point heavily endangered but learned to acclimate to city terrain and fed primarily on pigeons and rats until their numbers exploded. The city buildings are even like the rocky cliffs they used to live on, like pigeons too.
The city biome is also a surprisingly good spot for many classes to use the “training” ability through areas specifically created by humans to help facilitate the use of training (in case you didn’t know what training is, certain classes with high intelligence will get a permanent stat buff when doing an action whom’s effectiveness depends on a certain stat, although the stat buff only applies to the individual player that uses training.)

@@TallicaMan1986 "They also arent protected in British Columbia, sherlock." Canadian Geese are protected under the migratory bird act of 1994. "We can kill 10 a day," Only if you have completed your CORE hunting course and have your licence, and they are in season, which is October to December or so for migratory birds. So yes, they're common in cities, because you can't hunt them with all the weapon laws, and you can't discharge weapons (including bows) a certain distance from the roads and buildings and so on. And you can't can't cull them as pests since they're protected as migratory birds. It's artificial, you let us shoot the fuckers in the city and they'll be gone. "And the fact we even have to reduce their numbers is a testament to how successful they are." It's artificial, what you see is an obnoxious animal that spawns quickly and is protected.

The Deer is a E-Tier in the City Meta. Analysis is accurate. Goose are D-Tier here, another accurate assessment. The Coyote should be downgraded to D-Tier as it's a bad match with Dogs and even some Cats. It's also mistaken for a Wolf which has a negative perception, so it's hunted more actively. They're not very successful or common in most cities around the world. Pigeons are really "flying mice" but they've been quite successful. They're actually a High-C Tier. What they lack in intelligence and bulk, they more than make up for in respawn rates and flight. Tier Zoo could not be more wrong here. Feral Hogs are not good at City Meta. They're overpowered at the outskirts and forests, but suck at traversing. Not to mention they also get hunted, culled, and eaten by Humans. In fact have a look around most cities in the world and ponder how many have feral hogs. They're a solid C-Tier at best. Whereas Seagulls are a High-B Tier. They're much more social, intelligent, and capable than Pigeons. They're found across the world, around all cities, but are almost always limited to the sea coasts. Squirrels are B-Tier. They're very impressive build for the City Meta since they're very capable, and are seen as "cute" or non-pests by Humans. However they're limited to the North American server, limiting their total success. Raccoons and Monkeys are A-Tier builds. Like the Squirrel build, these buys have limited demographics. The more successful Monkey build is stuck mostly on the South/East Asian servers. The capable Racoon is on the North American server. And a similar Possum in the Australian server. Europe doesn't really have an equivalent, which is why all three of these builds are not S-Tier. The crow/raven are deservedly S-Tier. They're found on all the continents with cities. Their flight and omnivorous diet helps them survive. Yet their social skills, high intelligence allows them to thrive. The mice is a S-Tier as was omitted in this video. Whereas rats are actually the highest S-Tier due to their size and capabilities. If all humans and their food reserves vanished overnight, mice populations will tank, however the Rat population would continue as they move into forests as well. Other animal builds not mentioned here, which are very invasive but perhaps don't thrive in dense Metro City biomes are; Bats, Feral Dogs, Street Cats, Feral Fox, Feral Goat, Pythons, Bullfrog, Common Carp, Tilapia, Scorpion Fish, Green Crab, Bay Mussel, Gypsy Moth, Aphids, Fire Ants.

okay so, is nobody going to talk about how valuable it is to be able to interact and appeal to human players? i know its seen as an underhanded play, but theres a reason dogs and house cats are so well-liked, and its the 'cuteness' and 'social' buffs
The only reason Panda players and eventually Koala players are still playable is because of how attractive they are to humans. Cats would dominate cities if humans disappeared, and dogs would have their place. But there wouldn't be any panda players left without humans.
It's the hidden trait Charismatic. It attracts Humans and of course it may be bad thing if that means humans killing those players because of generated loot and traits. Most large animals have it as well and Giant panda survives with it so it ain't worthless. Risky, but usually worth it.
Other players very common on cities biomes: parrots, cockroaches, lizards, spiders, flies. Parrots are extremely smart and with relatively long lifespans, they live in city biomes that have plenty of trees with loot and can easily avoid interaction with most predators, and they also live in large groups.

I think another hidden ability that is very useful in city biomes is cuteness or appealability toward humans. It’s best not to be seen by them, but if you are seen as cute by them you may be able to collect additional loot.

Cuteness is definitely a hyper effective stat against humans, Animals that have maxed out their cute stats have seen great advantages in this regard.
@@Crichjo32 in fact, maxed out cuteness can even gain the player human allies if the player is in trouble. I posit with this alone, cuteness can in the right conditions be considered OP.

I mean, it works. The gull build isn’t aware enough of Germ Theory to be grossed out by the microbial players, and pizza’s basically heavily-processed milk, grains, tomatoes, and any other bits of XP. Pretty XP-dense stuff by the standards of non-human builds
An excellent list! A small debuff you forgot to mention for rats is the "Innate Hatred" passive ability that many human mains are currently running.
While most builds on the list don't draw aggro from humans unless they invade a human's base or directly attack one, Innate Hatred will often proc immediately when the rat's stealth even slightly fails. There are so many human mains with Innate Hatred in the Alberta level that rat builds are completely unviable there.
I have the innate hatred passive ability, but that triggers for pigeons, cockroaches, rats, and mice
The innate hatred passive ability sucks as a human main.
Another example would be black cats, which trigger a special variant of the Innate Hatred passive called Superstition. This passive was a large contributing factor that almost wiped the European server in the Black Death seasonal event. There are even some extreme cases where human mains have the Innate Hatred passive triggered by other humans.
That's sad, I like rats. I have Innate Hatred of cockroaches, bedbugs, and ticks. Mosquitos are close.
Rats also have a natural repellant against humans by instilling fear and revulsion, so the hatred doesn't really amount to much since few humans will actively chase a rat to kill it. Most people see a rat and they head in the opposite direction.

I think the premise of tierzoo, where animals are compared to each other as if they're characters you're going to play in a game, causes TZ to underrate creatures like the pigeon. Sure, INDIVIDUAL pigeons are pretty helpless, but by those standards, high-class builds like the ant and the bee should be F-tier. With eusocial insects like them, TZ recognizes the play style of trying to make the group survive rather than the individual, but ultimately that's the play style of every build, whether we know it or not. Even if individual pigeons are easily game-overed, I can't walk a block in New York City without seeing one, something that's definitely not true of the raccoon or coyote, which are supposedly higher tier.
In suburbs you will see far more raccoons and in small towns there are more coyotes. Urban biome is diverse.
Survival of the group is only relevant for some animals. Pigeons definitely not among them. Maybe you are right that they should be higher tier though because they are very common. They have poor stats but they spent enough evolution points on cuteness that humans tolerate or even help them, while humans attack all the other scavengers.
@@fluffysheap Survival of the group is the only thing that matters for any animal. That's how evolution works.
This build is OFTEN used in Moscow！
@@craigrussell3062 The only thing that truly matters for any animal (except for a good part of the human playerbase) is reproducing, since that triggers the completion for the evolution main quest. By evolution stardards, the tier list shouldn't consider how easy it is to survive with a playstyle, but how easy it is to reach the point of reproducing. For the pigeons, that seems to be at least B or A tier.
@@craigrussell3062 Agree that Pigeons should be higher up in the tier list, they're pretty successful in the city meta. They're masters of unlocking basically any area where humans drop loot. I've even seen Pigeon players in subway stations, were rarely any other birds get.

Cockroaches are actually really smart. To the point that they know what humans are, and when they are close. They would try to get a better relationship with humans, but they find our skin revolting, often cleaning themselves after coming in contact with a human
The only reason the insect player base has survived so well in the city servers is because of their frankly broken spawn rate.

When the cockroach uses the fly ability, no human remains to pose a threat to them, leaving all the loot unnatended for them. Also, it posses the highest overall intimidation level of the game.
I swear that roaches could smell my fear. Whenever I try to scare one away, they always charge my way. Spray them with Raid? If on higher ground, they will still try to fly TOWARDS me. If on the floor, they will run and do circles near me, making me do this stupid dance.

I think you under rated the gulls, they are very sociable and are great at bullying other players (even humans) together.
Also, I was sad to see that you neglected to mention the fox. The urban fox's play style is so different from its rural cousin that many consider it a completely different build (as I understand it, the main difference is in the teeth).
In which tier would you put the Fox build in the city biome?
True, I think gull should’ve been way higher. They are omnivores that scavenge/steal AND hunt (the two most effective ways to get food in cities) and will eat just about anything. They can fight surprisingly well and are known for getting food from humans, so they’re good in the social category. They can fly, walk, AND swim, which gives them access to almost all of a city (parks, beaches, reservoirs, buildings, sidewalks/alleys, telephone poles, etc.). They are practically the bird version of rats in the city context.
I think we need a follow up video that includes foxes, feral cats or at least roaches/ants

DorGreen1 You fool, everyone knows water pump one-shots them.
As someone who has worked alongside them in the mountains, I'd argue the moose build belongs in high A if not S tier. While the general rule of bulk being a weakness in the city meta holds strong for the other deer builds, the moose has taken it to such a degree while pairing it with unparalleled aggression it's typically seen as more trouble to remove a moose from a given area rather then just letting them pass through. Removing them is costly, if you try to tranquilize their aggression is increased tenfold, and since their massive size makes the drug take longer than your typical animal in the city meta to fully have an effect, trying to remove them becomes a way that can lead to unnecessary casualties. Whenever a tourist would ask what can be done about the moose that set up shop in the area, the answer is almost always "nothing, just stay away"
When you consider this mentality is held amongst the humans regardless of the moose having by far the highest body count against humans in the North American servers, coupled with the fact that they're able to pull this build off in even the wealthiest and most populated ski resorts where the humans have the most resources to handle the threat, it's hard to imagine the moose build being anywhere even close to F tier.

Only if you have completed your CORE hunting course and have your licence, and they are in season, which is October to December or so for migratory birds.
So yes, they're common in cities, because you can't hunt them with all the weapon laws, and you can't discharge weapons (including bows) a certain distance from the roads and buildings and so on. And you can't can't cull them as pests since they're protected as migratory birds. It's artificial, you let us shoot the fuckers in the city and they'll be gone.

Humans when they see Cat/Dog getting griefed: *REAL SHIT*
To be fair, team-kill is almost a sport at this point in human playerbase...
Or a way to test new item recipes in "real situations". Can't blame them craft specialists much because how in *hack* is a bird supposed to compete against a human-operated plane? Or an elephant againt a tank? Or even the gigantic whales when they have to face a submarine?
But hey, I heard an interesting rumor...
It seems that the devs are so tired of human BS that a future update may turn their preciously crafted "Robots" npc project in a new playable race out of human's control. And you know the human playerbase, right? When an engeeneer ceate a thing they love to implement it in former craft recipes like the monsters cited above.
Oooh, I can't wait for all the other specie's salty playerbase to re-roll as these OP machines and take revenge on the "kill for sports" mindset human mains have. The despicable "cheat-hunters" becoming preys again, PvP outside of team-kill will become such a thrill!
As a racoon main i can say that griefing their companions is sometimes riskier than griefing humans themselves.
@@renookami4651 You do realize all predators kill for sport right? Especially canines. And felines.
**They avoided the entire insect player base!! Biased tierlist!!**

@@renookami4651 Hey human player you seem to have the "misantropic" debuff. I suggest to you, to try to remove this characteristic since not only lowers your INT and CHAR statistics, but also reduces your chances of successful team play which no human can totally obstain from. Try to see the good other than the bad, instead of advocating the removal of an entire player base Just because our position in the top list
We have seagulls that live in a big shopping center here in Columbus, Ohio. They blew in with a hurricane years ago. I think in the '90s and never left and because they've been here for so long they've actually started adapting to living in a parking lot, their feet are getting thicker and they're losing the glands that they have to process salt water.
Monkey trying to snatch human food to assert territorial dominance
Humans: “hehe funny monkey”
It's all funny until the monkey learns how to use guns and sell drugs.
haha poopyyyy hahaha
@@rorrim0 I hope you don't mean what I think you mean
Campi ' i hope he does
@@rorrim0 Haha that's true we all know the biggest drug dealers are the monkeys that wear suits.
"recognizing the human mains that tend to host drop parties the most frequently"
LMAO IM DONEEE
Yeah that one got me good as well lol
"...and for recognizing the Human mains that tend to host drop parties most frequently"
HAHAHA excellent! Never change, TierZoo. Great video!
Funny how crows use it to pick out jerks.
1:08 I love you for this Darkest Dungeon reference
"Monkeys are one of the few builds with an intelligence level high enough to directly interact with humans. Whether that be stealing from them, trading with them, or even just generally socializing with them."
*shows monkey drop-kicking a human for socializing*
Yep, checks out. That's how we're supposed to socialize, right?
Yees

New Jersey Monkey.
4:36 This is why having the "Driver's License" ability is so OP for a Human build: any other build just gets destroyed, intentionally or not.
Humans are kinda banned for doing pvp with other humans with cars tho
@@art-cs6us Sort of. You ever see a human guild hold a "Demolition Derby" or "Monster Truck" mini-event? It's all humans finding a loophole in the "no pvp with cars" rule by having them do matchups with other humans in cars, it's wild. Really good loot drops for some non-Human mains like birds, rats, and racoons too, because of how much extra xp gets accidentally left behind or dropped when humans do a stamina refuel via eating.
@@AnInsideJoke That's true, but outside of those events using car mounts for PvP isn't a great idea because (especially against forts or other mounts) it will deal damage through the "blunt force trauma" effect and the mount's hp is depleted.
You've clearly never seen what a suicide run by a moose player can do to a human in a car mount. The twitch clips are pretty brutal to say the least
@@Raptorman0205 Oh no, I have. It's just that most of the time, the humans are either very low-level or don't have experience dealing with moose players while on car mounts. Any human player worth their salt and a good car mount can handle themselves against a moose player, but most of the time, it's a crapshoot.
Ah yes, the most sofisticated method of socialization: the drop kick
How do YOU greet people? A handshake like a loser?
@@narwhallord4267 I believe it's the elbow bump now. At least that's what the UE politicians are doing. And if someone knows how to survive the pandemic, it's politicians.
I religiously prefer of the drop kick as the greatest method For socializing with humans
I mean, it gets the point across
sophisticated
This is the best video I saw in the last 3 years on UA-cam. Great Work.
so when a monkey hits a human its called "socialising"
but when i hit a human its called "assault"
We truly live in a society
@@HMNCLunar omg so deep 😭😭😭😭😭
The solution is simple:
Return to monkey
@@HMNCLunar hi homunculus
That's the difference between PVP servers and PVE servers.
*Coyote kills cat
Humans: “oh so you’ve chosen death”
That coyote just got 2 different player bases on it. Coyotes can't 1v1 Canines either. My party member avenged the neighborhood cats and soloed a whole pack. She got loot from the whole neighborhood until we switched servers. Funny how she had more human friends than the neighbor we moved to get away from.
Coyote: "Why do I hear boss musi-...OH SHIT!"
>letting cat mains go out into the PvP areas
Ain't no one's fault but their own.
I'm saddened but I can't do much about it, people don't take care of their cats, think they are free to roam anywhere, multiplying and killing the local fauna, and then the owners cry when something bad happens. sadly in some places cats are turning into a urban plague because of those people.
@@danilooliveira6580 yh honestly cats are a plague and we need more coyotes to hunt them
The best joke today: The pigeons looking for Drop parties.
Pigeon: Is this the drop party?
Turtle: Now it is!
Drop party? I haven't heard that name in years...
@@bificommander7472 "Yes. For me." *nom*
Missing the wood pigeon, they are often seen in cities too, and they are way more competitive than the normal pigeon. They have more strength and stamina. That means they can hold their ground well enough to justify B Tier
On the New York level, there’s an Easter egg located in a hidden sewer where there is a dead rat, 4 dead turtles, and a rotten slice of pizza. It’s most likely referring to the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”
Lol
"Mr Rat how do you feel about..."
"Let me stop you right there April. I'm a single, elderly father to four insatiable turtles so I don't give a damn about some meta. I have to raise them to be ninja to keep them from being exposed by snoops like you. I'm s tier? Tell me something I don't know." *smokes a Newport
Come sub to me so I'm motivated to make content lmao
You only got my sub because you literally look 100% like shaggy from far away
Lmao
Coyote: “Mm, a cat, easy target”
Human owner: “So you chose death”
To all Coyote-Players: When you target our Cats, we will start a Crusade on every Member of your Playerbase, until you went extinct.
So you have chosen death*
*The Cat has a dog as team member*
Dog: hum...
Duel of the Fates begins*
@@alexisbaz8746 Coyote: Who are you
Dog: I'm you, but better
....
I am surprised Tier Zoo didn't mention that Coyote's can join parties with dogs and wolves to make unique spawned players?
2:58 Can we just appreciate that something that weighs about the same amount as a freaking CAR just perfectly jumped OVER more than the entire width of that car just like that?!?
(Imagine how graceful it'd have looked if smaller)
6:44 Grandma: he killed mr whiskers
The feds: SEND IN THE CHOPPER!
“At that moment he knew....
He fucked up”
Kill cat and you get The MAT(-49)
i read that in schwarzenegger lol
8:26 the squirrel basically slide canceled like a pro to avoid the cat
HE DID THO LOL
That squirrel actually just took the cat's ankles
He/She is probably a global ranking player.
Ayo that squirrel is intelligent as fuck, look at the last slide to the right, If you observe his previous actions. You will see that he made a emphasis on creating a lager distance at the last slide.
He invested his skill points in the "+3 ss(superslide)cancel" i would say a wise choice for a city server.
Rat mains even have a special ability to learn how to cook, though it’s region locked for France
- edit- didn’t even think about the legendary NY rat build, which if you bring from Japan can teach four young mutant turtles ninjitsu
lol
Oh that’s why my rat run didn’t go as planned
Ratatouille?
I asked a French man if he played games? He said wii

"Ranks at high C Tier"
Immediately crashes into a window
Hmmm...
High C is still just C.
There's a reason C is the top of the bottom half.
Guess it just couldn't C it..
That's why they're C and not higher.
The Deer is a E-Tier in the City Meta. Analysis is accurate.
Goose are D-Tier here, another accurate assessment.
The Coyote should be downgraded to D-Tier as it's a bad match with Dogs and even some Cats. It's also mistaken for a Wolf which has a negative perception, so it's hunted more actively. They're not very successful or common in most cities around the world.
Pigeons are really "flying mice" but they've been quite successful. They're actually a High-C Tier. What they lack in intelligence and bulk, they more than make up for in respawn rates and flight. Tier Zoo could not be more wrong here.
Feral Hogs are not good at City Meta. They're overpowered at the outskirts and forests, but suck at traversing. Not to mention they also get hunted, culled, and eaten by Humans. In fact have a look around most cities in the world and ponder how many have feral hogs. They're a solid C-Tier at best.
Whereas Seagulls are a High-B Tier. They're much more social, intelligent, and capable than Pigeons. They're found across the world, around all cities, but are almost always limited to the sea coasts.
Squirrels are B-Tier. They're very impressive build for the City Meta since they're very capable, and are seen as "cute" or non-pests by Humans. However they're limited to the North American server, limiting their total success.
Raccoons and Monkeys are A-Tier builds. Like the Squirrel build, these buys have limited demographics. The more successful Monkey build is stuck mostly on the South/East Asian servers. The capable Racoon is on the North American server. And a similar Possum in the Australian server. Europe doesn't really have an equivalent, which is why all three of these builds are not S-Tier.
The crow/raven are deservedly S-Tier. They're found on all the continents with cities. Their flight and omnivorous diet helps them survive. Yet their social skills, high intelligence allows them to thrive.
The mice is a S-Tier as was omitted in this video. Whereas rats are actually the highest S-Tier due to their size and capabilities. If all humans and their food reserves vanished overnight, mice populations will tank, however the Rat population would continue as they move into forests as well.
Other animal builds not mentioned here, which are very invasive but perhaps don't thrive in dense Metro City biomes are; Bats, Feral Dogs, Street Cats, Feral Fox, Feral Goat, Pythons, Bullfrog, Common Carp, Tilapia, Scorpion Fish, Green Crab, Bay Mussel, Gypsy Moth, Aphids, Fire Ants.
"If your children can't fend off the feral hogs themselves then your bloodline is too weak to be allowed to continue"
LOL
Top of the food chain, huh, Humans?
@wintertheAmpharos yeah without weapons, humans aren’t that good at combat with other players.
10K Subscribers With Some Videos no wonder they end up dying in battles that they instigated.
Absolutely barbaric
10K Subscribers With Some Videos so without weapons, how do human mains kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into their yard within 3-5 mins while their small kids play?
okay so, is nobody going to talk about how valuable it is to be able to interact and appeal to human players? i know its seen as an underhanded play, but theres a reason dogs and house cats are so well-liked, and its the 'cuteness' and 'social' buffs
The only reason Panda players and eventually Koala players are still playable is because of how attractive they are to humans. Cats would dominate cities if humans disappeared, and dogs would have their place. But there wouldn't be any panda players left without humans.
True,
It's the hidden trait Charismatic. It attracts Humans and of course it may be bad thing if that means humans killing those players because of generated loot and traits. Most large animals have it as well and Giant panda survives with it so it ain't worthless. Risky, but usually worth it.
@@vksasdgaming9472 true.
Yeah, as a hamster main I put EVERYTHING into my cuteness buff. It’s so helpful when trying to find a party.
Other players very common on cities biomes: parrots, cockroaches, lizards, spiders, flies.
Parrots are extremely smart and with relatively long lifespans, they live in city biomes that have plenty of trees with loot and can easily avoid interaction with most predators, and they also live in large groups.
Parrots are deliberately added to human player parties so he didn't include them
They've even invaded the city biomes on the Europe server somehow ! And nobody is trying to stop them.
