** For the majority of players, Outside is an action RPG with the ultimate goal being to successfully reproduct. For eusocial bees, ants, and wasps, however, the special ability Arrhenotoky, who allows the queen to produce male drones with parthenogenesis, transforms that ultimate goal into "collaborate with the colony to help the queen produce eggs", as the worker sisters share 75% of their DNA with one another, while they would only share 50% if their DNA with their descendance. The game is thus transformed into a RTS.

* BadassOnPaper: Centipedes predate the dinosaurs, are one of the first players to have taken the Air Breathing perk, are venomous, and have high stats all around, with only their Intelligence kept low as a DumpStat. This sounds like this would make them high tier. However, their poor senses and Intelligence make them easy to elude despite their speediness, their long hitbox makes them vulnerable despite their durable exoskeleton, and their slow attacks make them easy to dodge. These weaknesses all combine to make centipedes an F-tier class.

** Myriapods, like scorpions, were considered effective builds in the past due to the then-unique niche of air breathing and their fast speed in the Silurian period. However, as they've mostly stayed the same throughout the millennia, the ever-changing meta has ''not'' been kind to either. Both of them lack good eyesight unlike most arthropods, and their long bodies allow several builds with disjointed hitboxes to easily catch and kill them. Centipedes have it very rough, with their slow attack windup allowing prey to easily see them coming and escape. It's for these reasons that centipedes are considered at F-tier, even lower than scorpions, and millipedes are considered D-tier.

** Graphic depictions of animal inuries were more commonplace in earlier videos. Such injures present in wildlife footage are now [[{{Pixellation}} blurred out]] or cut entirely and instead shown in a director's cut version of the video on a different platform. An example of the latter is the shrike being cut from the normal "Bird Tier List" video due to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice how it hunts prey]].

* CleverCrows: Corvids were considered S-tier animals in the city meta and out of all birds in general, thanks to having the high intelligence to get various loots and interactions while also sporting high mobility.

A later video explained how they use their intelligence, aside from using the environment to their advantage, they can also manipulate other players by pecking them to attract their attention or even [[LetsYouAndHimFight get them riled up enough to attack another opponent]].



** Between the two S-ranked avian intelligence builds, Crows are considered these compared to Parrots. They lack the parrot's syrinx shriek, deal lower damage with their beaks, and are less dexterous with their beaks compared to parrots. However, Crows have the ability to use the city's terrain and features to their own advantage, and most importantly manipulate or goad other players to their advantage, sometimes even gaining them as an ally to use their strengths to cover for the crows' own shortcomings.

* DrawAggro: Crows are noted to have a weak-damage peck that they use to not deal damage, but to goad other targets into either attacking them (and thus getting distracted from an objective like food), or even [[LetsYouAndHimFight manipulate a target into attacking another]].


Added DiffLines:

* LetsYouAndHimFight: Thanks to their high intelligence, Crows know how to peck targets to provoke and manipulate them into attacking other threats. This even allows them to turn the tables against some normally-poor matchups like cats, making the cats fight each other.

** Shrimp as a whole are considered F-tier animals, due to having weak legs, small claws, and no eyestalks, which prevents them from digging into the sand, all as a tradeoff for better water mobility... which is about as good as a seahorse's. The Pistol Shrimp averts this thanks to its powerful cavitation bubble ability and is mentioned to merit higher placement.

** Orangutans are this in comparison to the other apes. They're fast, but not as fast as chimpanzees. They're strong, but not as strong as gorillas. And they're highly intelligent, but nowhere near as intelligent as humans. According to [=TierZoo=], [[SkillGateCharacter this makes them a great beginner class.]]

** Besides the domestic dog, the other S-tier in the Dog Tier List was the African Painted Hound, not the Wolf which was considered an A-Rank SkillGateCharacter. Like the Secretary Bird, it was capable of surviving the African Savannah thanks to higher stealth, attack and speed than wolves, while also having a better hunting strategy based around [[LeakedExperience propping the weaker members]] than giving the best loot to the best members.

* SequelHook: At the end of the cat tier list video, TierZoo mentions having forgotten something, then a domestic cat appears on screen, and TierZoo states that they're getting their own video; sure enough, the cat vs dog video came out shortly afterwards, explaining how cats take advantage of ''Toxoplasma gondii'' to secure a top tier spot.
