Lamprey

The Lamprey is a tier 2 animal.

Mechanics[edit | edit source]

Worms evolve into lampreys.
- 4,000 XP is required for a worm to evolve into a lamprey.
Lampreys evolve into jellyfish, frogs, flying fish, and giant isopods.
- 7,000 XP is required for a lamprey to evolve into the next animal.
Lampreys drop meat, upon death
As a lamprey, friendly fire is turned off for other lampreys and oarfish: meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them nor attach to them.
- Your best food sources are plankton, ice, shrubs

This is a complete list of food that lampreys can eat.
