* FridgeBrilliance: In "Are Crocodilians OP?", much of the crocodilians' power is shown to not just come from their powerful bites (which are optimized for grappling, not direct damage), but rather their ability to out-swim, grapple, then drag prey into the water to hamper, drown, and finish them with a Death Roll. Terrestrial crocodilians are thus AwesomeButImpractical -- while it was never clearly stated in the video, the inferred reason could be that despite having land mobility and a powerful bite, they lose the crocodilians' crucial water-based advantages and efficient killing methods, leaving them outcompeted by the dinosaurs or mammals.

** Salmon are considered D-Tier as their ability to jump out of the water only makes them susceptible to airborne and terrestrial predators like seabirds and bears. However, there may also be another reason for their low viability: Salmon are one of the most consumed fish in the world, having a ''terrible'' matchup against the strongest build in the game (humans) with several species being overfished.

* {{Fanon}}: The [=TierZoo=] fan community on Reddit has invented the notion of a prestige mechanic for ''Outside'', which rewards players for successfully reproducing. It has been hinted at in the [[https://youtu.be/0HPKKFugajE?t=330 video on Eusociality]] (called Genetic Points there) yet not quite fully elaborated on, but many fans will talk about a full-fledged system.

* {{Squick}}: "Top 3 Underrated Animals" contains a clip of a hyena [[GroinAttack biting a buffalo's testicles and tearing them off]]. Most of the comments on that video are about how disturbing that scene is, with lots of viewers claiming that they felt [[ShareTheMalePain empathy pain]].

* OlderThanTheyThink: He's had to break character in the comments section several times to explain that the concept of S-to-F ranked CharacterTiers is not in fact his own invention, and that they go back years and are used in fields as wide ranging from videogames to professional sports.

* LowTierLetdown:
** Tardigrades are often touted to have resistances to several deadly sources like vacuum, ionizing radiation, and a few others. However, this requires them to go into a hibernation state, and more importantly they lack the most crucial damage resistance of all -- physical damage, which almost everything and everyone uses. This huge weakness makes Tardigrades a bottom-tier pick.
** New players get hyped when they see the cheetah's high top speed and synergistic abilities, but quickly realize that they're only good for chasing things down (they're not even good at taking down a target nor defending their prize) and have dreadful matchups against most competent builds in Africa.
** Black widow and brown recluse spiders are infamous for their deadly bites that potentially inflict necrosis, giving them massive clout among spider builds. However, this is caused by bacterial infection instead of the bite itself (which isn't lethal to most heavier builds),leaving players with nothing but an decent-at-best spider build that's generally outclassed.
