The Baby is one of the available starter animals.

Design
The Baby features a large head, notably. It is very small.

Technical
The Baby is considered to be one of the weakest animals in the game, which makes sense, since it is only tier 1. It can only move around by crawling at first, which is very slow. It can attack via its hands and feet, which are extremely weak. It has powerful abilities such as opposable thumbs, which is what sets it apart from other starter animals. This allows it to do stuff such as picking up sticks to significantly increase its offensive capability, making it surprisingly threatening to other tier 1 animals once it gains the ability to walk. It can make virtually no use of its opposable thumbs until it learns to walk because it needs its hands to crawl. At level 6, the Baby gains the ability to walk, which increases its mobility a lot, even though very slow. This allows it to hold items while moving. You can get this ability earlier by upgrading movement speed.

Upgrades
The baby can upgrade into the following animals.
 * Child (Lv. 15)

Strategy

 * Strong Against: Nothing (Crawling stage), Low-Mobility builds (Walking stage)
 * Weak Against: Literally anything with good mobility

As the Baby
The Baby is pretty much useless until it learns to walk, so try to upgrade movement speed every time you level up until you get that ability. Once you do, make sure you carry around a weapon such as a stick. Do NOT use it as a slashing weapon or a bludgeoning weapon. Those strategy deal very little damage when using a stick. Instead, use it as a stab weapon. This maximizes damage. If you cannot walk yet, sticks are still good, you just need to stand still to use them. Hold them in your hands while you crawl, clenching the hand holding it into a fist to hold it better. If you need to hit something from far away, throw a rock.

Against the Baby
Use the baby's poor mobility to your advantage. If it has a stick, rush around to the back and attack it from there. Once it starts turning around, keep moving to stay at the back. This strategy is incredibly effective at combating the Baby. This works best with fast-moving builds.
