Mountains

Griffins are the stars here (a normal Griffin makes about 2.5B/s, a Large Griffin around 10.8B/s), and the Griffin is the zone's rarest animal. Yaks, Capybaras and the Emerald Llama round out the roster.

What Mountains looks like

Grey cliffs and rocky peaks.

Reaching Mountains is a big jump: the very first animal you usually catch here, the Llama ($200M/s), already earns about 3.2x a plain Seal, the best animal of Ocean.

All 7 Mountains animals

Ordered the way the zone fills up: front of the zone first, the rarest animal last. “Plain” is a Normal-size catch with no mutation and no 2x Cash. Click an animal for its mutation/size income table and every catch I have recorded.

Income curve

Plain income from the first Mountains animal to the best (log scale). The Griffin earns 13x the Llama.

Best food for Mountains

Recommended: Mushroom, Bacon. Food does not change how far you throw – Throw Power does – but a higher-tier food rolls rarer animals, mutations and sizes once you land here.

Tips for Mountains

  • A single 100x Super Lucky Throw in the Mountains can produce a billion-per-second animal very early – it is one of the best places to spend your first cheap luck purchase.
  • Hunting the Griffin: land on the far edge of Mountains with your best food and save lucky throws for it. If you are already past Mountains, turn throw strength down with the gear icon.
  • Move on once your throws reach Taiga (1,000 – 1,250 power) – even its commonest animal beats almost everything here.
