About the Animals water
Animal prompts are where the internet's favourite facts go to be Plankton. The deep water belongs to the animals with no emoji: deep-sea fish, obscure marsupials, beetles with improbable names. If a creature has a documentary named after it, it is probably too famous — go stranger.
The mirror angle
Flip the food chain over. The mirror side of the animal kingdom is the bottom: the scavengers, parasites and trench-dwellers that never make the poster. That is exactly where Noillirk points live.
Example ladders
Three real shapes from this pack's bank — the crowd's answer, and the answer that leaves the crowd at the surface:
| Prompt | The crowd (10) | The deep water (85–100) |
|---|---|---|
| Name an animal with tentacles | Octopus | Siphonophore |
| Name a marsupial | Kangaroo | Quokka's cousin the quoll |
| Name an animal that can regenerate a body part | Starfish | Axolotl |
Animals tips
- Deep-sea creatures are this pack's trench floor — the game world and the answer bank agree.
- Learn collective nouns and baby-animal names; they are quietly banked.
- Extinct animals are fair game and chronically under-used.
