Hey everyone, I'm making a concerted effort to branch out beyond CZcams and make sure TierZoo has some longevity to it independent of platform. If any of you are willing, it would help me out a ton if you'd "Like" my Facebook page here facebook.com/thetierzoo It takes 10,000 followers and 30,000 views to become monetizable on Facebook, and reaching that threshold would be a huge boost to the amount I'm able to spend on each video. So please, if you like my channel, it would help so much!
I'm coming
Yo that Gerudo Valley theme for the Gila Monster was Genius
Can you do a crab or crustacean tier list
It's pretty awesome to have witnessed TierZoo level up so many times from a mere CZcams starter build to branching out to other meta platforms.
im coming
Tierzoo: "That lizard is A tier."
That lizard: *Gains autotomy*
Tierzoo: "I meant to say B tier."
oof
I feel like he shouldn't rate it highly but i mean if you aren't a tank class you don't need your HP as much so a skill which makes it less likely to hit 0 in exchange for HP seems solid.
Tegu: _sweats nervously_
more like retains autonomy from pre-lizard ancestors.
@@scaledjames98 Exactly, TierZoo didn't really do his research on the Tegus.
Tegus rarely drop their tail after reaching maturity/high bulk, and instead drop more during youth where it only takes around 2 months to regrow; it is easily the difference between an early death or not, especially when they're not strong enough to use tails as a weapon. Plus they can control how much of the tail to drop, making them immediately better than lizards like the iguanas where its all at once. This is important in the sub-tropical areas most tegus live, where potential predators for a young tegu are far more diverse than what a terrestrial monitor might encounter in an arid environment.
For most of these lists, he doesn't seem to realize that negative traits are eventually bred out, and stick around for a reason...
*Basilisk*
Cons:
_-overspecialized_
_-ability leaves it open to almost every attack_
Pros:
_-cool name_
_-is _*_sick_*
*jesus
it can also walk on water like jesus
Also named as the Jesus Christ lizard because just like JC Himself it can concentrate their chakra on their feet so they can run in water.
@@h.p.lovecraftscat8476 Jesus is a Shinobi? No wonder
Its name means small crown I believe. Because of the small like crown on its head.
The devs really looked at the Komodo dragon and thought “yeah that’s fine”
The Komodo is nothing when compared to it's larger extinct Australian relative-Varanus priscus, it could reach over 6 meters in length, wich is more than twice as long as the biggest Komodos ever, sad that they went extinct 40.000 years ago.
@@eybaza6018 yeah megalanias would be broken in the current meta
@@ErdemTipix They would be ideal in dealing with the invasive pig,horse,camel and water buffalo players in Australia as well as finally challenging the Dingo as Australia's top tier.
Not really, like most of the huge animals of the Ige Age, anything that huge and dangerous would become priority number one for human players.
@@BetaJackMaxis They'd likely be limited to national pars or wilder areas anyway,with similar precautions as with bears in case of an ecounter.
Imagine if Komodo's could bury themselves in the desert's sand to gain enough heat and spit out literal fire.
Imagine if the Basilisks could learn dark magic and actually kill people that see them
I heard that feature was available during the Middle Age version a few years ago, but got banned a while back after the dragon class started bugging the game.
@@gravityx3 Dragon class was never added to the game, this was confirmed by the devs, they are just myths that player base created. So I doubt this feature even existed.
@@Nonexistility Super popular fanon! I think people want them just because they're so unbelievably versatile.
immagine the basilisk grows 20 meters long
One Lizard player actually has high intelligence, I heard he used it to make Facebook
I've heard that he came from another server tho, I think he came from the Mars Server? Not sure if it's true.
i hear in some forums that is biuld only devs can play becuz how unbalanced they are
Your profile picture and this comment are both glorious; you have amazing taste
I heard that another huge player is rumored to have be a bot. The devs haven’t confirmed or denied anything yet so it’s up in the air
@@stephaniedillard5769 why do you hate that CZcamsr like bruh
Basilisk:
>Can walk on two legs
>Featherless
Diogenes:
Don't even have to pluck the feathers.
Man
You know I'm thinking about it, and it's hilarious even with the updated minimal definition of man derived from that: " a featherless biped with flat nails" A PANGOLIN could still be counted as a man.
I mean they do move bipedal quite a lot and at least on their feet they have flat nails so yeah we need to give pangolins human rights if you ask these people.
So mark zuck's species is specifically basilisk?
@@Sara3346 I mean they didn't really know pangolins, basilisks or any of the other bipedal species besides birds and humans existed, which is why Plato proposed that definition in the first place. Diogenes made fun of him because that was an extremely approximated definition and Plato must've been a real smartass about it
Overlooked features:
Iguanas have pretty devastating bites.
Tegu can raise their body temperature during breeding season, allowing them to be active while other builds still need to bask. They also have a very strong bite and can run pretty fast.
Geckos - some of them can not only shed their tail but also their skin, making grappling attacks much harder to land. Also some gecko species spec heavily in the 'cute' factor, forcing human players to keep them as pets which not only protects them from other pvp players but also results in a good and steady supply of xp.
Monitors not only can run and breath at the same time, their circulatory system has some pretty unique features in their heart resulting in a much better seperation between veinous and arterial blood which means better endurance. They also have a pretty high intelligence for lizards which results in some of them being able to make use of human players as protectors and xp delivery persons - like geckos.
Geckos should go a little bit higher if only because they come in such a huge variety. While many geckos spec into the climbing ability (like my beloved crestie), others (like beloved AFT gecko) spec into ground dwelling/desert survival specs. This gives geckos a huge range to live in.
Legends of a very smart gecko have surfaced, saying that he runs an insurance company, and pretends to be an animated lizard used in its marketing. I think there's more to lizards than we realie
Using Ridley's theme was perfect for the Komodo dragon.
"The only thing they fear is you" "rules of nature" or "nightmare king" would also work
Let’s be real, the Komodo dragon is one of the only animals alive today worthy of Ridley’s theme.
The true Earth lizard heavy weight
Those mf's are real life Zeta Metroids.
Of course it's been designated as a fucking Dragon.
Nah man the Gila Monster is more powerful. LOOK AT THOSE STRIPES!
Nah Komodo's bigger so it has a durability advantage
Lizard: * Gains the autotomy ability *
TierZoo: “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.”
yeah, i feel it is more viable than he is letting on,
@@markwackerman5593 of course it’s viable, or else it wouldn’t be so widespread. Tierzoo seems to think that a lot of the time the only traits worthwhile are those that improve fighting ability, and animals that can’t fight well suck, even if they’re actually great survivors. He says that autonomy is stupid because you lose your weapon, but in most cases if the lizards didn’t lose their tails when attacked they’d just straight up die then and there. Better to lose your weapon than die completely.
@@scunge2667 true that. But now you're defenseless, have a lower max hp and a agility debuff. You'll die regardless.
@@redacted5937 So why not choose the option that lets you live longer and have a higher chance at reproduction?
Honestly, the worst part about his comparison is the whole "max HP" thing. A lizard dropping it's tail affects it's *resistances*, making it more vulnerable to diseases, and having a less energy stores. It won't make the lizard weaker in a fight.
...Well, okay, no. That's just the worst unintuitive part. Obviously the actual worst is that he talks about an objectively positive trait as if it's a negative.
Komodo Dragons are my favorite creatures of all time, so imagine how happy this list makes me. 🙂

What do you expected from dragon, of course they are perfect
idk man, lacks wings
It's a Pokemon Line.
@@ericolens3 they don't have wings but can still fly, so I guess you could say that they aren't perfect because they can't fly
A fun fact is that here in Brazil we have a saying called "Don't give wings to snakes" (which basically means to not make something worse than it is or to not help bad people) because of the idea that snakes are overpowered already and if they could fly they'd be too much

@Stella Hohenheim Human tier lost*
(obviously Homo sapien is the most powerfull, but I would like to see what was better, neanderthal or denisovan or florenscensi)
I think there is a crocodilian tier list already
Check his "Are Crocodilians OP?" video. It's not a traditional tier list, but if I remember right, he said that most crocodilians are very similar in their play-styles and capabilities, placing them pretty consistently in top tier.
Aw man, I want to see that plant list.
Learned about the Komodo dragon in 4th grade. I loved it since. Nice to see him get some deserved attention and fear.
One other positive about the chameleon's colour change is that they can also use it for thermoregulation, becoming darker to absorb more heat and light to reflect more of it.
TierZoo is the definition of quality over quantity

I love anole lizards. I've seen many in my patio here in New Orleans changing color as they move from branches to leaves but it wasn't until I lucked into a house lizard that I really came to appreciate them. Fruit flies are a common curse here. They are so tiny and numerous that swatting them is hopeless. There may be hundreds in a swarm. Living in an 1850's building I also am cursed with cockroaches, not the tiny ones from the north but 3" giants. I have tried everything to get rid of them but they nest in the empty spaces behind drawers or in walls. About 4 months ago I noticed an anole lizard on my kitchen wall. They are so beautiful, brilliant green with those inscrutable ultra-black eyes. I welcomed it but was unsure whether it could survive in my apartment. There was a big hatch of fruit flies over one of my counters. The next day there were less and by day 3 they were completely gone. I assumed the lizard got them. But then the cockroaches started to disappear. Where I might have seen a dozen or more every day now it was more like 1 or 2. Finally they disappeared too. I can only speculate that the lizard was eating all their eggs. A few tiny ones started showing up with a rare teenage one and I was afraid my lizard had died of starvation, (no more eggs!). I was heartened by seeing just the end of a tail twitch in a crack but the next day there was a tiny lizard body lying on my dishtowel. I don't know why it died. Maybe hunger, maybe age, maybe it got sick but I cried for it. BUT the next day I saw another tail so it's relative has taken up the fight. Got roaches, flies, fruit flies, moths, get a lizard!
man that sounds like an awesome family of lizards

I love how everytime he talks about autotomy you can hear the tonal shift of a disappointed dad
underrated comment
Fax
I was reading this as he he switched to talking about it and yeah definitely a change in enthusiasm lol
I think it’s strange that he’s so critical, if it didn’t work then lizards wouldn’t spec into it, I mean when so many different lizard builds utilize it can’t be that bad.
Yeah what’s the problem with autotomy
I'm surprised you didn't talk about flying lizards. When I was younger I wanted one as a pet SO BAD and would dream about having one ride around on my shoulder.
Haven't watched yet, but I'm placing my bet now. Komodo Dragon is the top tier. Septic bite, pack mentality, and claws good for climbing and slashing. That's also neglecting the fact that they are the largest living lizard on our planet.
An update to the Komodo: it was recently discovered they have a subcutaneous bone mesh kind of armor, on top of their already tough hide. This makes them incredibly tanky, as well as being decent damage dealers with their venom.
Fun fact they can tank small caliber bullets sometimes
yeah, i used to main therizinosaurus back in the cretaceous patch, but now i main komodo and im so glad they got yet another defence buff, even though they didnt need it lol.

@@justaguyonyoutube Yeah, but most people are smart enough to realise that a monitor lizard as a pet is way too fucking dangerous.
@@juanjoyaborja.3054 It's not at all though, I've owned multiple species and as long as you understand and respect the animal it poses very little danger to you. Sure a big croc monitor could bite your face/neck area and kill you but you'd have to be manhandling it and you'd have to be able to touch it first and it's not going to let you if it doesn't know and trust you. NERD has tons of videos about socializing monitors and large snakes, great content from people who love working with exotic animals.

“Tail whips damage is on the low side though” spoken like someone who hasn’t been whipped by an iguana tail
Hey! I just love ur videos since I love the way u edit them and it still is pretty informative ❤️❤️❤️
Fun fact: Komodo dragons probably ate dwarf elephants, and that could be why they evolved to fit so large
Plot twist: they actually eat buffalo and deer
In general, mammals get smaller on islands. Fewer food resources pressures mammals into evolving smaller bodies. Carnivorous mammals usually die off. Reptiles are cold blooded so they don’t require as many calories. That means island reptiles get bigger and replace the niche that carnivorous mammals had.
Um, you can't say "fun fact" and the say "probably."
You should state it as a fact, even if it isn't.

“Cuteness” is an often overlooked stat that can do wonders for surviving and getting free xp.
Geckos have loads of it
That's less a stat, and more a collection of stats that make you appealing as a companion to Human players. I find play as a human companion quite boring, as everything is provided with no real struggles, but it's nice if you want to play casually.
@@blueraspberrysoda2133 Most humans start off taking advantage of this playstyle. Some continue to take advantage of it late into life, even sometimes making money from it.
The problem with maximizing the cuteness stat is when it gets too high it makes you a magnet for the infamous "boop" attack.
Yes, this only works when encountering human mains, but on top of that you have to be friendly to them, if you pull these off, then yeah, xp comes easy
Though different human mains have certain cuteness resistances most have a very low one fortunately
Honestly, real talk. I really like learning about nature and how animals interact in the ecosystems they inhabit, but I typically have a hard time resonating with the teaching method. This game-ification of teaching something that I would only really be able to find elsewhere on the Discovery channel makes learning this stuff really fun and engaging.

That Parakeet is colorful. Clearly a fairy flying type...
@@primej485 but it can fly and therefore must be a flying type
69th like!
@@swagmaster47625 It’s actually “no effect” because normal and ghost type can’t deal damage to each other unless the ability Scrappy is applied.
I don't know why I wasn't already subscribed. Great stuff as always.
If I ever encounter a running komodo dragon I'd better have a gun.
They may be bulletproof but I'm not
Komodos rarely attack humans though. Theyre smart enough to avoid us
@@solaris527 If they do decide to attack a human though, you better have a weapon or a tree nearby. They don't have great stamina, but their sprints are surprisingly fast. Even Steve Irwin had to flee up a tree to get away from one (and it bit straight through his gore-tex shoe, narrowly missing his skin).
LOL this has to be the best thing ive seen so far~!
I wonder why the Komodo, being as powerful as it is isn't seen in any other servers? Why is it limited to only 1 island?
@@kadinbillington4392 The answer is right in your question. Island.
It lacks the means to migrate across an ocean.
Should be noted that monitor lizard builds are also the only lizards who are capable of breathing and running at the same time. By forcing air down their throats, they can chase down other players with much greater endurance than any other lizard build.
The way they pressurize their heart to prevent oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from mixing helps too.
They are the only ones that can run on four legs, but many other builds are able to breath while running on their back legs, which is much less efficient, but still better than nothing.

Your videos are amazing my dude. I teach basic English for kids and this video just gave me an idea about how teaching animals and adjectives/verbs
Whenever I’m not playing a bear I’m playing a Komodo dragon, and I gotta say, you got it 100% right those fuckers are STRONG
The change to Ridley’s theme for the Komodo Dragon was a very good choice.
Throwing your tail away is the lizard equivalent of throwing your gun at someone.
Enter The Gungeon: *nervous sweating*
More like cutting off a leg that is trapped under a rock, it's not ideal but you would 100% be dead otherwise
Well if you’re about to die you might as well reduce your hit box size
actually that is a very weak way of escaping someone
*laughs in Tediore*
1:34 This is off-topic, but your use of the Eyewitness theme music touches my heart in a very particular and special way. :')
When did devs nerf Basilisks and take away their “petrification” ability?
And their Gigant size
Alas, that ability was merely a rumoured buff that the playerbase hyped up way too much. The devs never added it.
@@tylowstar9765 Nah, it was present for a short time in the Alpha Build of the Basilisk, but they deemed it way too broken and unbalanced.
@@claudiu-mihaipuiu1221 idk, ive been playing the game for a bit now (ive been around since late beta testing, swapped mains a couple times) and ive never seen a basilisk that can cause petrification. i dont think that's even a viable perk, although things like paralysis can cause a similar effect, if the player has access to it
@@Ruskah0307 It was a really early beta build that was broken as hell. Turns out that turning your opponents to stone is pretty goddamn broken, so it was dropped near instantly. Not to mention it's region locked to regions that don't even exist anymore.
You can still play as it if you want to, but you have to switch to a really, really old version of the game that nobody is really playing anymore.
I love how Ridley’s theme kicks in when he starts talking about Komodo dragons
Profile picture checks out
Thanks man, I knew it was Metroid, but could not remember which theme.
I thought it was a nice touch lol.
Your music choices are impeccable.
Love the smash theme off al these videos, such a treasure

Just adding a comment. TierZoo probably has heard this several times, but my girlfriend just reminded me that Tier in German means animal.
Apparently it was just a coincidence. Watch the Mario party with him.
Hundred times
Yep, German here. And Zoo is zoo anyways.
So I thought this is a channel about animals/Tier(e) without the funny comments and editing and a more serious approach.
Was not disappointed when I found out he means tier in a gaming meaning :D
Yoo your right
More specifically mammals especially ungulates like Deer; coincidentally the source of the American English word Deer.
As a RuneScape fan these videos have made a home in my head rent free for eternity.
"My characters backstory" - That's gold
Komodo Dragon: Called a dragon, is a lizard
Charizard: Dragon features, is a lizard
Charizard is flying Komodo confirmed
Tbf, "izard" is a part of his name so he could in fact be a flying Komodo
Unfortunately zard doesn't learn poison fang
@@secretsilver3662 kekleon is a chameleon, he can learn almost any move he wants
When it's young it's called a kodomo dragon instead.
@@secretsilver3662 Say That Again,But as if it was Keckleons Evolution.
"but it's certainly no low tier."
*gets punched by squirrel*
squirrels are S tier
Yeah, but that didn't really do any damage. On the other hand, that Squirrel would be pretty much a one-shot for the Gila Monster.
@@numbskull9369 Really, they aren't. They were only put in S tier because some of them tend to accidentially grief human communication networks, but I feel like that was really overselling them because you don't actually get an immediate advantage from doing it.
Realistically, squirrels are on high B tier. They have excellent mobility and aren't horrible in combat but will still consistently lose to bird, coyote, snake, cat, dog and marten players.
@@darthplagueis13
LOL, squirrels are definitely S tier.
No Hooman has yet invented a bird feeder that's squirrel proof.
So really, squirrels outrank Hoomans
Ouch....
😜
@@darthplagueis13 simply having a good matchup against humans shoots up them by at least a hole rank when you take matchup spread into acount.
But If you dont yeah B tier.
Edit so I would put them in like mid A tier due to PARTS of there matchup spread.
I love how you use footage from Walking with Monsters. It's really good.
That first clip of the lizard power tounging the birb made me laugh uncontrollably
"A player can never truly escape a komodo thats hunting them" Well great, I live in Finland but now im a wary that there is some mad lad komodo stalking me
Your chances of being killed by a komodo dragon are pretty low, but never 0.
Finland would be one of the last places you'd see a Komodo tbh lol
unless its an escapee or smt
What
History has truly been nasty to the long forgotten Snow Komodos of Finland. From being the major factor behind Finnish resistance to Sweden from the West and Russia from the East to be completely forgotten by everyone. It is truly a pity of the highest orda ;(
There’s a bug in the game where a door will open and a purple lizard player by the name of Randall appears. They affect the human toddler player base and I hope the devs fix this.
The Randall build does not match well against swamp people builds.
It's because of their increased DPS vs builds with the "Gator" trait, which, while not usually noticeable, DOES feature in the build.
I heard that the "randal" build was actually an Easter egg by one of the devs from a movie he watched or something
Don’t worry they’re planning on adding a cyclops and horned monster build soon to nerf it
Why would they do that, they already added the shovel weapon which deals 300% damage to randals. Are they just trying to completely destroy a troll build.
11:20 I love how the leopard(?) looks so confused after getting hit by the tail like: Wtf just happened?
You definitely earned and deserved this sub
Fun Fact: While komodo dragons don't have the strongest bite, their saliva does contain an strong anti-clotting agent, or anticoagulant, so they only need to bite their prey once and then chase it as it slowly bleeds out.
