Rarity ladder
| Rarity | Capture difficulty | Spawn frequency | Typical role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | Very low | Extremely high | Early starter filler |
| Uncommon | Low | High | Early team slot |
| Rare | Medium | Moderate | Mid-game carry |
| Epic | High | Low | Late-game team slot |
| Legendary | Very high | Extremely low | Premium / boss target |
Exact percentage per rarity is NOT published; the live percentage shown on the catch prompt is dynamic. Calibration to comparable Roblox simulators lands Common around 60–70 %, Rare around 15–20 %, Epic 8–12 %, Legendary 2–5 % at low egg tiers.
Combat roles
| Role | Recommended capturable companions |
|---|---|
| Tank | Triceratops (companion form), Ankylosaurus, Goldspike Cub → Rockspike Anklo |
| DPS | Velociraptor, Dilophosaurus, Stripelet Raptor → Strideraptor, Emberling chain |
| Support | Parasaurolophus, Pachycephalosaurus |
The Triceratops occupies both a capturable-tank role AND a separate boss encounter — the two are distinct entities.

Frequently asked questions
What are the rarity tiers?
Five tiers: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary. Rarer tiers resist capture harder but unlock stronger evolution chains.
Why is Emberwing the only race with verified bonuses?
Emberwing's bonus panel was the only one transcribed from the in-game race panel and surfaced by a third-party wiki. All other races render an [INFERRED] badge in the calculator and contribute 0% until Fishgig Game publishes numeric bonuses.
Are the 9 new Raptor Update dinosaurs named anywhere?
Not publicly. Roonby reports the count; no source enumerates the species names. Treat any third-party list as not authoritative.
