The Falcon is a tier 11 Land animal in Mope.io, and equivalent of the Crocodile, Lion, Octopus, Polar Bear, and Vulture.

The common Falcon was added on May 13, 2018. It has two stronger species, the Predator Falcon and Shaheen Falcon, both introduced on July 30, 2021.

Technical

Common Falcon

The common Falcon has a 3949/4000 (98.725%) rarity.
Upgrades from the Bear, Tiger, Swordfish, Pelican, Wolf, Hyena or Gobi Bear at 90K XP.
Upgrades to the Eagle, Rhino, Shark, Wolverine, Markhor or Bison at 145K XP.
Can hide in large Hiding Holes and/or Whirlpools.
Can eat almost all food sources in the game. The exceptions are cacti, dates, cactus pears, and berries. Its prey includes all animals from tier 10 to 4 (Bear to Pig).
Its predators includes all animals higher than its tier (Rhino to Black Dragon).
Pressing W enables Falcon to use its "Sky Dive" ability. The Falcon will start to fly, and a target will appear towards the direction of the mouse/joystick. It has a maximum distance it can be from the Falcon dictated by the Falcon's size (about half the screen when freshly upgraded)—moving the cursor/joystick closer causes the target to be on the cursor and move closer. When the target is locked onto a spot which is done by pressing W again, the Falcon will dive onto that spot, damaging prey and stunning any animal it comes into contact with, knocking it back. The Falcon will land normally if the target is not used for the ability's duration.
- The speed of the dive increases the further the target is away from the player, although the actual time it takes to land does not change.
- The dive itself is uncontrollable, causing the Falcon to fly straight toward the target. However, the landing (indicated by when the Falcon begins to flap its wings, after the swoop) can be steered but has little forward movement.
- The Falcon runs out of water faster while flying.
- The ability cannot be used when on low water. If the player begins to fly, they will automatically land and receive a message if their water becomes lower than 25%.
- The player can boost during their flight to go faster.
It can climb hills but not trees, though it can land on trees using its ability and climb them that way temporarily.

Predator Falcon

“

UPGRADED to Predator!

”

All of the above criteria, except for special abilities and health bar, applies to the Predator Falcon.
It is slightly enhanced according to the Changelog; probably meaning that its ability and health bar are buffed.
It can damage predators with its ability.

Shaheen Falcon

“

UPGRADED to Shaheen!
Fly, and do a powerful dive attack! Aim it well.
(Shaheen flies longer and swoops everything!)

”

It has a 1/4000 (0.025%) rarity, and is considered a Pakistan animal.
All of the above criteria for the regular Falcon, except for special abilities and health bar, applies to the Shaheen Falcon.
It has a superior health bar and flight duration.
The ability is significantly buffed.
- The Shaheen Falcon is damaged by an eighth of its health if it does not dive onto an animal or if it dives onto a Black Dragon or King Dragon, unlike the other variants.
- If it specifically hits a Black Dragon or King Dragon, a special message "BAM! You hit the target very hard!" appears

Appearance

All default skins use the Season 1 skin.

The common Falcon is a cedar brown animal with large wings that have lighter feathers in the shape of crescents and dark brown tips. The Falcon's head is relatively small and circular, featuring a large feathery sloped forehead. It has a patch of white under each small yellow socketed eye and another patch above its sharp broad beak. The first half of the beak is yellow, with small nostrils, and the second half is black. The underside of the Falcon is white. Its tail is fan-shaped with additional dark crescent feathers and a lighter tip.
The Predator Falcon possess all the features a common Falcon has. However, the whole animal is a bluish, silvery shade of gray. It has bared eyes with small white eyebrows above, less white under its eyes, and a few spiky feathers by its beak. Unlike the common Falcon, the black (more of a livid gray) is reduced to the tip of its beak.
The Shaheen Falcon uses the same body form as the Predator Falcon, but is entirely light gray with jagged feathers, minus its wing tips and tail tip which are dark gray. Its eyebrows are gray and the yellow around its eyes and beak are more of a goldenrod color. It has a black tip to its beak. The Shaheen Falcon has slightly longer outer tail feathers giving them more of a rectangular profile.

During its ability animation, the Falcon flaps its wings. While diving to its ability's target, the Falcon's wings swoop back, its body narrows, and it bares its eyes. Before landing, it flaps its wings and reveal yellow legs with hooked talons. Its beak will open.

Strategy

Revamp required

This article requires a revamp to conform to the Layout Guide. When this article is up to form, remove this template.

Notes: Change from 1st person to 3rd (you -> the player)

As a Falcon

When you press W and fly, you should see a cross-hair. Even though it is tricky to aim it accurately, a good tip is to observe where the prey is going then place the cross-hair slightly ahead of the animal. This will make you dive very fast, probably able to reach your target. Plus, the co-dev has revealed a "Treasure" (a secret trick to use in game) that says that Falcon can be used to bite tails by aiming your cross-hair at a predator's tail.
Another strategy is to find an animal close to lava, and dive into it in a way that knocks it into the lava. If you knock in prey, it becomes an easy meal, if it is a predator, wall it a bit, and then go away, and try to get a tail-bite in.
If you're not playing in full screen, beware of moving your mouse out of the game area while flying(i.e on the search bar), as it will cause you to dive at the furthest extent the mouse was. This can potentially place you in a risky situation, so it's better to play full screen.
Bears and Gorillas are both easy targets, because their abilities are limited and only hit animals in front of them, so get them from behind. Chase them down and eat them, if your ability is recharged, do the same thing and make sure there are no predators, holes or interference.
Get toucans too. If they fly away, fly too and kill it in mid-air. Cobras are also easy, as you can use abilities when poisoned. If you find a Pelican on shore, fly over it right above the ocean, turn around and claw it onto land. The Pelican's inability to use its ability on land should make it an easy kill.
- Particularly target prey that has low health. If you're lucky, you can use both the damage from your ability and the stunning effect to finish the animal off.
When a Black Dragon or any other high tier animal is getting harassed by other people, use your dive to get to it's tail and bite it to death when it has very low health. Make sure it has low enough health to kill it in a single bite. Also, make sure the victim is directly running away so you can aim more easily.
A good and reliable way to level up quickly is to hang around Trees and Bushes where Bananas, Coconuts, and Pears will be abundant. You can also go to a Beehive, and eat the bees that will be there.

Against a Falcon

Falcons are extremely hard to kill; their ability allows them to instantly fly, being a handy and unpredictable escape method. If you're a predator to the Falcon, utilize the time after the Falcon lands on the ground. Since its sky attack has an average reload time, bite it as much as possible before its take-off.
- Note that Falcons move very slowly in mud and water, so try eating one if you see one in either of those environments. Make sure to guard your tail if you see one diving/flying. Wherever the Falcon lands, swing around so that your tail is facing the opposite way.
If you're the Falcon's prey, be very strategic about how you avoid the bird. Anticipate where you think it will sky-dive, and move as far away from that location as possible.
- Hang around water spots; when you see a Falcon sky-diving, dive so that you won't be stunned or damaged.
- Another strategy to evade them is just hide in a hiding hole. If your animal moves fast in mud or water, go to either of those places, as Falcons aren't as strong in there.
- Tigers and Bears will be its main source of food.
  - As a Tiger, you can leap away when the Falcon sky dives with your ambush ability, or flee to the ocean.
  - Bears will have a harder time running away, as their swiping ability only really stuns Falcons for a few seconds. If you're a Bear, flee to a hiding hole or the ocean where you can dive for ages.

Trivia

The Falcon used to be called Peregrine Falcon (referring to the real species) but is now simply called Falcon. A similar case also occurred with the Eagle.
- Its upgrade choice name only said "Falcon," but the upgrade message along with a video released by the developers confirmed it was "Peregrine Falcon."
- The Shaheen Falcon is a subspecies of the peregrine falcon, Falco peregrine peregrinator, mostly native to India. The real shaheen falcon largely resembles a darker peregrine falcon, unlike its in-game coloration.
The Falcon's ability previously allowed it to target anywhere on the screen. Targeting a corner would cause the player to dive extremely quickly, achieving the fastest movement speed possible in the game. This was likely to mirror the fact that real peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on Earth while diving.
- Its ability used to damage predators too, making the Falcon very powerful and good for trolling, however, it was later nerfed to only damage prey. This trait has now been carried over to the Shaheen Falcon.
The Falcon is one of the only flying birds to not be able to manually climb trees. It is also one of the few non-tree climbing animals to be able to climb them with their ability.
The Shaheen Falcon is the only Pakistan animal to not have been renamed or replaced.
The Shaheen Falcon's ability's trait of damaging it if it doesn't hit an animal is unique.

Glitches

The Shaheen and Predator Falcons once had the normal Falcon HP, as part of a bug. The bug has been fixed at an unknown date
