Mechanics

• Worms evolve into lampreys.
  • 4,000 XP is required for a worm to evolve into a lamprey.
• Lampreys evolve into jellyfish.
  • 7,000 XP is required for a lamprey to evolve into a jellyfish.
• Lampreys do not drop any meat, but instead yield XP upon being eaten.
• As a lamprey, friendly fire is turned off for other lampreys and oarfish - Meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them.

Abilities

Passive Abilities

• Instead of attacking tier 5 animals and above, you will automatically attach yourself to them when dealing damage.
  • When attached, you'll receive a portion of whatever food the animal you're attached to eats.
    • This includes food that is normally not part of your diet, such as people or volcano food.
  • Attachment does not prevent you from losing oxygen, pressure or damage caused by those.
  • Even though you can attach to tier 5 animals and above, friendly fire is still turned on for them and you can be killed by the animal you're trying to attach to.

Active Abilities

• Clicking while attached to an animal will detach you.

Suitable Biomes

• The suitable biomes for the lamprey are the ocean and the arctic.
  • If a lamprey enters the ocean surface, it will lose oxygen.
  • If a lamprey enters the arctic surface, it will lose oxygen.
  • If a lamprey enters the deep ocean, it will lose pressure.
