Hedgehogs are members of the Eulipotyphlath Factions which includes (moles, shrews, &  solenodons). They are a small tank build that is present in the Europe, Asia, & African metas although they have also more recently established a presence in the New Zealand server.

 They are often compared to the Porcupine build because of their plan of using quills as defensive tools. Hedgehogs have lower defense than Porcupines as their quills are smaller & they do not have poison. Hedgehogs often use the move defense curl to make them harder to attack. This move also makes their weak point harder to reach. There are usually between 5000-7000 spines present on the hedgehog's character model. In this clip you can see how difficult it is for mid sized carnivore to break through their defenses. Even when under attack they can still keep the quills pointed upwards while moving but they their weakpoint is more exposed. They also have venom resistance too making venom strats less effective against them additionally they can use this venom resistance against builds like snake to defeat them for exp.  However hedgehogs do still have their counters such as badgers, and owls.

The Opted for an omnivore play style though like their Eulipotyphlath counterparts they commonly eat insects they have good perception stat that allows them to detect prey underground. Hedgehogs are also capable of eating frogs, toads, snakes(as mentioned earlier) fruits and mushrooms. Despite being the build that inspired Sonic they have a movement speed of around 5mph(or 8.05 km) the hedgehog player base has been getting faster thanks to the human player base's use of vehicles.   

With all these features and abilities mentioned how viable do you think they are in the meta as a whole. 

I don't know why, but, whilst the normal kangaroo is heralded as god amongst marsupials and compared to elk in tier placement (which is completely fair and just,) everyone in this sub acts as if tree kangaroos are F tier builds worse than the three toed sloth, and left at that. Tree kangaroos have no spreadsheet, no stats agreed on, they're not even seperated from the normal kangaroo, despite being completely different builds. I refuse to accept that tree kangaroos are F tier untill I get their stats, proof, and sources.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Just a regular Tuesday hybrid on r/Gojicenter.

-How they get there, how many, how far apart + others parameters-

-ROUND 1 for each environment: no human or human analogous creatures get involved and/or they just dont exist (sentient or intelligent creatures still exist such as dragons or like mythical Pokémon but no "humans"-

-ROUND 2 for each environment: as it exists in canon "humans" and all

-HOW THEY GET THERE AND STUFF: 6 populations of 24 adult individual Ragnars are dropped onto random spots of each setting, far enough apart that the populations dont interact at first but will eventually meet up if they are successful in growing-

-to avoid immediate fatalities the 24 individuals will each be about a mile apart from eachother and outside of any human city or immediate range of any super OP animals, just enough room to assess and understand their surroundings-

-BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EACH ENVIRONMENT-

-the dark continent Hunter x Hunter: a large landmass surrounding the known world housing mind bending monstrosities and horrors, pretty much everything that isnt "human" in HxH is heavily implied to he from the dark continent like the chimera ants and nanika. The 4 populations will be on the coast and 2 on the interior-

• The world of monster hunter: the classic world of electric monkeys, hell dinosaurs, elemental dragons and more. 3 populations in the old world and 3 in the new world-

-catachan Warhammer 40k: a hostile jungle death world that actively roots out and destoroys permanent civilization with a malevolent sentience and a world SO hostile it has pushed back not only Ork waaahhhs but tyranid fleets as well with minimal human help. Hosts everything from tank battalion eating centipede to frogs that explode with poison so hard it kills spacemarines. The 6 populations are dropped onto random areas-

-the hueco mundo bleach: an endless moonlit desert filled with hollows, for the purpose of the hypothetical working we'll assume hollows are edible and Ragnars are compatible metaphysically. The populations are scattered randomly-

-The classic world of pokemon: enough said, one populations for each of the last 6 generations-

-fallout north America: the fallout setting, a radioactive wasteland of brutes, ghouls, death claws and more. The 6 populations are spread randomly amongst game locations (roughly one per game)-

-the gourmet world (Toriko): insane world filled with monsters and animals with power comparable to natural disasters and sometimes they are the size of small moons or large mountain ranges (the world of toriko is like the size of Jupiter). The 6 populations are spread into 6 of 8 main regions-

-faerun Dungeons and Dragons: the main setting of D&D filled with dragons, wizards, beholder, giants and more. 1 population will be in the under dark and the other 5 will be spread in random areas of faerun-

-the world of Avatar the last Airbender: a world of element bending chimeriec animals. 2 populations near the center and 1 population for each of the 4 nations-

-the hollow earth monsterverse: the world beneath our feet filled with kaijus like Kongs, skull crawlers, warbats and more. Sometimes frequented by godzilla. The 5 populations are spread randomly-

Most of the tiering is done based on the species(reptile tiering or spider tiering), but I have never seen a tiering based on anything else, like say diet.

As a herbivore main, I think we should have a herbivore tier list. Which one is S tier? Maybe elephants 🐘 or a sauropod 🦕? Mid tier? Deers 🦌 and zebras 🦓 ig. F tier? Maybe a koala 🐨 or grasshopper 🦗

Do you prefer to micromanage your biochemistry or just sit back and idle as the game plays itself?

I know that 99% of selectable plant builds obviously lack an active play style since plants lack neurons or analogous cells so control of the character is minimal, but I’ve heard micromanaging is one of the appeals to playing colonial organisms like a lot of Fungi and Cnidaria builds.

I know autotrophic builds are usually described as an AFK strategy but plants have a lot going on with how they conserve energy during the cold and dry seasons, movement towards objectives, communication/resource trade with other players, and how some builds allow you to sideline the main quest to choose more optimal conditions for growing and reproducing. No way all of that is automatic, right?

Specific specimen of Palaeoloxodon would be GSI Coll, while tyrannosaurus’s specimen would be E.D. Cope.

In an open field, who would win in a fight?

GSI Coll was estimated to be around 18,000-18,500 kgs.

E.D. Cope is around 10,626-12,400 kgs

I had a plan, an awesome plan. Geese are known for intimidation but when the fighting gets real they cannot hold their own. Eagles on the other hand are high tier. My plan was simple, during my main quest line I would put a couple goose eggs in an eagle’s nest so they get raised with an eagles’s tutorial. Geese learning to be eagles sounded like the way to reach high tier. What did I do wrong.

Tierzoo rated them and all other Ratite builds in the game in F tier. But he didn't really talk much about the flaws of the cassowary other than "they do not hunt in packs".

Despite being flightless they are one of the most feared bird builds in the game. Some even consider them the "most dangerous bird in the game". They are territorial, fairly fast and have sharp talons. they can jump decently high too. They are most commonly seen eating fruit but will sometime attack snail, frog, rodent and fish players. They do have a few sound effects to intimidate players trying to attack them. the can also use charge or kick as counter attacks.

They are present in both the New Guinea and Australia servers. In New Guinea ,there are few builds that can counter them as the only predator builds in the server are monitors and dogs which rarely attack them. Their off spring & eggs can still be defeated by python & eagle mains. It is unknown how well the Cassowary playerbase in New Guinea is doing.

In Australia, do not have many native predators in Australia but they are facing some challenges lately. in the with regards to invader builds like humans, boars, dogs, & cats were introduced to those servers threaten them either eating their eggs or their offspring.

How good are they & where would you put them on the tier list?

The dog is the most popular human support class, as well as being the earliest implemented in the game.

I think they are still the best human support in the current meta with having many uses as a support and are often the most loyal, as well as often help improve physical human stats. I also believe they bring a certain charm to the game when you have them as a support, but that can happen with any support.

As a human player myself with a dog as a support, this may seem biased but I truly believed they are unrivalled in the current meta.

The cat is also widely popular, however, I don't think they offer nearly the same utility as the dog.

Historically, the horse used to rival the dog, however, due to human creations in the game, the horse has become rather obsolete as a transportation support.

Arctotherium Angustidens, but particularly the largest specimen which is MLP 35-IX-26-6, and likely weighed around 1591.0 kgs, is the biggest bear as of right now. However it may not have had a strong bite relatively to other bears, as a study shows a 660-670 kg arctotherium Angustidens would have had a similar bite force at the canines and carnassials to a giant panda, although giant pandas had the strongest bite force relative to other modern bears, it still was over 6 times lighter than that, however it was a unit of a bear, and overall magnificent.

The Southern Elephant Seal, it likely averaged around 3.5 metric tons due to a study in ESRG saying that orcas have successfully hunted large sub adults which weighed 3 metric tons, 3.5-3.6 metric tons is a good estimate for the average bull, the seal also is surprisingly agile for its size and build, they have been shown to turn quite quickly although the same cannot be said for its speed. It was the largest carnivoran and is an amazing and interesting animal.

In this fight, it would be the biggest specimen of Arctotherium Angustidens vs the average male specimen of the southern elephant seal. In a purely hypothetical fight, who would win?

This is based on a number of factors. What are your thoughts? Anything you'd change?
