Strategy[]
As a Mole[]
- Due to the Mole being a low-tier animal, the most efficient way of proceeding to tier 4 is to consume food sources.
- One way of doing this is to farm berries by pressing
Son to brown Mushrooms, causing them to burst into multiple berries. Brown mushrooms are easy to find, making this a reliable method. - Eating Honeycomb from a Beehive is another consistent way of gaining XP. By pushing on a Beehive, Honeycomb will gradually produce.
- However, be wary that large numbers of bees are capable of killing a Mole or any low tier animal, so a better way of farming honeycomb is eating them from the midst of a larger predator that is too high on the food chain to eat you.
- One way of doing this is to farm berries by pressing
- Use the Dig ability to sneakily move around underground. This is an advantage that no animal other than the Meerkat has.
- The player can surprise prey by going underneath a hill or Berry Bush and popping out to damage them when the time is opportune. Alternatively, the player can hide from predators underground, digging under hills and rocks to evade them.
- Also, dig underneath predators; bite their tail by emerging right underneath it. This should only be done on a full Health Bar, as the Mole can be eaten by most predators in 3 hits, making an attempt with any lower than full health risky.
- In the same way that Healing Stones can be used by animals that are diving, the player should further take advantage of the Dig ability and use Healing Stones whilst digging. Doing so will be convenient against predators if the player's water bar is low.

Trivia[]
- The Mole is the only low-tier animal that once had Apex-like features (high on the food chain, able to bite the tails of other Moles etc.).
- It and the Meerkat are the only animals that can dig underground.
- The Toxic Moleworm was teased on KOA's YouTube channel 8 months before its expected release. Although it is presumed to be a rare animal, the Toxic Moleworm did not exhibit any features different to the normal Mole in the video.[1]
Glitches[]
- For a few days, the Mole was able to zoom underneath the earth faster than normal in a straight direction for as long as its ability lasted or until it ran into water.

Notes[]
- ā 1.0 1.1 Despite its name, the 'Zombie Mole' skin that originated from the Store is different from the zombie Mole skin from the Zombie Infection game mode. The latter, unlike the former, is not Store-bought and will be applied in-game without the player's choice if they are infected when playing Zombie Infection.
