• Feralisks (non-clutch) – Aggressive, web-slinging spiders. They paralyze pawns on hit. A single miss-click taming attempt = colony wipe.
• Barbspear – High damage, zero survivability. Will charge enemies → dies instantly, then explodes into barbed spikes that injure your own pawns.
• Slurrypede – Produces nutrient paste from nothing, but spawns tiny oozes that multiply if not frozen. Can lag your game to a halt.
• Dunealisk – Sand-swimming predator. Buries itself, then ambushes your harvesters. No useful product.

• Frost Wyrm – Cold-damage flyer. Awesome in ice sheet. Requires frozen meat and will target your pawns if hungry. Frost breath can shatter prisoners.
• Flamespitter – Pyromaniac’s pet. Sets fire to everything. Great for clearing forests, terrible if you use wood walls.
• Mossbeard – Slow farmer. Grazes + occasionally digs up Ambrosia. Low combat value but passive income. Very slow.
• Scytherwasp – Early-game swarm pet. Weak individually, but taming a queen lets you spawn disposable warriors. Queen needs royal jelly.
