The early game is won by **scaling**, not by raw damage. Your goal is to gain level-up opportunities faster than the ecosystem escalates.

== Core Principles ==
* **Prioritize scaling mutations** over pure defense or damage.
* **Avoid the reroll trap** — limit rerolls and save resources for stronger choices later.
* **Fight near food clusters** so you heal while fighting ("Napoleon Strategy").
* **Stay in safe biomes early** (Grass) until movement/thermal adaptations are secured.

== Tier S Early Evolutions ==
* '''Cheek Pouch''' — store food and digest while moving.
* '''Hump''' — max HP growth on full-health feed.
* '''Prehensile Tail''' — vacuum-style pickup range.
* '''Carnivore''' — faster consumption from kills.
* '''Tail Wag''' — distract enemies for safer foraging.

== Common Mistakes ==
* Fighting heavy targets too early (time sinks).
* Roaming far from food clusters.
* Over-spending on rerolls.
