Tiny bite
Simple left click performs a tiny bite. With 2 force, this is almost never an offensive plan: it is a last-resort tool against a tiny threat or a way to buy one second before escaping.

Hypsilophodon
Gameplay guide
This profile gathers useful information for choosing this dinosaur, understanding its role, and preparing a Gateway session.
Play style
Acid scout
Hypsilophodon plays like a living alarm with a bad temper. It is too small to win real duels, but annoying enough to save itself: spot danger early, keep a vertical exit, spit in the predator's face when it commits, then disappear before it recovers its read. A good Hypsi does not dominate an area; it simply makes hunting frustrating, loud, and expensive.
Play style
Active abilities
Blinding spit
Holding left click prepares spit, then releasing sends the bile. The goal is not to kill: hit the eyes or head to blind and disorient the predator, then leave immediately. Hypsi spends a lot of food when spitting, so every missed shot has a cost.
Vertical jump
Spacebar prepares a very vertical jump. It is a line-break tool: clear an obstacle, reach a surface, create an unexpected angle, or buy the second needed for a predator to miss its bite.
Latch and climb
Holding right click aims at a climbable surface, then spacebar launches into a latch. Once attached, Hypsi can climb, perch out of reach, and even spit from position. Its survival often comes from having a good perch planned before panic starts.

Attacks
- Very weak emergency bite
- Bile spit to blind and disorient
- Visual pressure on targets hit in the face
- Spit from a latched surface or perch
Strengths
- Vertical jump and small profile are very useful for breaking attack lines
- Spit can blind or disorient long enough to break a chase
- Can use latch and climbing to reach difficult positions
- Small body and less costly growth than a large herbivore
- Group limit of 10, excellent for alerting and covering multiple angles
Weaknesses
- Only 20 kg: most predators punish it very quickly on contact
- Almost nonexistent bite force
- Spit spends a lot of food and should not be wasted
- Spit needs a good angle and does not replace real safety distance
- If its jumps or spits become predictable, it has little left to correct
Official notes
Selection-screen data: Diet DT_Herbivore, Preferred Food Mango, ChanterelleMushroom, RadishRoot. Basic Max Weight 20.0, Basic Max Speed 1100.0, Basic Max Bite Force 2.0, Basic Max Group Size 10. Hypsilophodon has been one of EVRIMA's small playable herbivores since the early public updates. Official notes frame Hypsilophodon around defensive spit and small-herbivore mobility, designed to escape rather than hold fights. Official 0.20.109 notes add climbing to Hypsilophodon and describe latch as a real mobility extension. Later official updates fix and adjust latch, jumping, and Hypsi behavior while aiming or using a surface.
Community notes
Evrima Quick Guide matches the selection screen: 20 kg, 39.6 km/h, 2 force, and a group limit of 10. It also details spit, jump, and latch as the core of current gameplay. Community sources describe Hypsilophodon as one of the smallest playables: extremely fragile, but able to disrupt a chase through spit and vertical movement. Control check: early official notes mentioned spit on right click, but current EVRIMA guides place spit on held left click, while right click mostly aims latch with spacebar.
