How this life is scored
Weights are derived from what the animal is, never templated — which is why no two species on this roster score the same way.
Evolutionary state
Recomputed from every completed life on the server. This section moves on its own.
GENERATION 1 · 0 LIVES ON RECORD · 0/40 TOWARD NEXT · DIVERGENCE 0.000
Current population: indistinguishable from founding stock.
Growth
Hatch to adult is 13.0 h — 2.8 in-game weeks on North Point's clock, where one day is 40 real minutes. Parental dependency is not counted as growth — an animal that survived alone skipped part of its species' life, and the ontogeny term is what notices.

Range & ecology
Home range
Where this species concentrates on the map — from its biome affinity, not an even scatter. Ranges overlap where the biomes do.
Predation
Hunted by
Social system Migratory Mega-Herd
A large grazing aggregation that moves as a mass. Safety is numbers and the sheer difficulty of singling one animal out; direction is a loose consensus that follows the oldest and the hungriest.
Roles in the group
What it creates
- Predators target the edge and the straggler; the core is nearly untouchable.
- Migration overpack rules let the herd swell far past normal caps.
- Direction is emergent — no single animal commands it.
✦ You are one of hundreds, and being ordinary is how you survive.
Signature abilities
Extracted from the shipped binary. A profile may not describe a move the game does not have.
Profile clauses
- The giant hadrosaur — no armour, no horns, only mass, herd numbers, and a tail. Defends by being too much to bring down.
