I absolutely love how its intimidation stance is just a T-pose. Some would say the devs forgot to animate the pose, but I think they just know it’s truly intimidating.

You know it is a good decade when Tierzoo uploads

A little curiosity: Here in Brazil the name of "Giant Anteater" is "Tamanduá-Bandeira", it can be translated to "Flag-Tamandua", that's because of the flag like appearence of his tail.

Brazilian medic here. I saw a patient die due to an anteater attack once. It was Christmas eve on a rural area of São Paulo and this middle age farmer was already drunk. Suddenly, he heard his dogs barking: it was a giant anteater. When he was trying to scare it away, the animal slashed his belly: evisceration, we could see part of his intestine outside his abdomen. He died around two weeks later due to nosocomial infecction.

Anteater feels like a character that was initially added as a joke, but developed into genuine badass with time.

Has he done one on the Pangolin? I'd definitely like to see their rankings since they are essentially armored anteaters. They can even crush ants and termites that crawl on their body under their scales. Not sure how they deal with Acid attacks, but its something to consider.

The darker patch of fur around the arms and shoulders of the giant anteater also helps when carrying juveniles. When they climb their mother's back, their fur overlaps making them look like a single, even bigger animal. I think that gives a few more points to their stealth

All of them are called Tamanduá here in Brazil;
Tamanduá Mirim = Anteater
Tamanduá Bandeira = Giant Anteater
Tamanduaí = Pygmy Anteater
(edit: fixed names)

Their main means of defense is a hug...
When afraid they open their arms and stand looking at the direction of the threat.
If they manage to grab a hold of something they plunge their claws into it and don't let it go until some piece rags out...
I heard a dog near a farm I went got killed by one... not very common but can happen if the dog is too stupid.

Belligol is definitely strong, way OP 😂😂

I love how the ant player deaths are shown with Pikmin souls. Also, The Anteater build is one of my favorites in the meta. It really shows how specialization to grind one specific resource can really pay off. They have all the skills needed to wipe out entire ant colonies, and as a result, they have some of the deadliest melee weapons in Outside.

Don't forget that the Tamandua has learned the "T-Pose" emote and combined it with the Attack "Hug of Death", where it grabs the enemy player and sinks their claws into it. That can deal MASSIVE damage to small players. It could oneshot the house-cat build.

Having the most iconic (and arguably best) Intimidation Emote in the game combined with a pretty good grapple-attack as a seemless combo is impressive

[pedrohenriquemarchesini]

Just an observation:
In Brazil all anteaters are called "Tamandua"; but, for example, we call the giant ant eater "tamandua bandeira", which stands for "flag anteater" cuz of its tail that looks like a waving flag

[dominiclombardi]

The devs really went wild with the design of the anteater. Such a fascinating build.

I think their ability to cause the "intimidated" debuff is underrated. T posing at their enemies to ward them off is, apparently, a pretty good way to avoid needless combat

[DricusDuPlessis]

Tierzoo is the definition of quality over quantity

[huntzen]

5:40 That dingus got his throat explored by an ant eater. Nice.

[Pfhdk]

In Brazil all anteaters are called tamanduá. The giant one is called tamanduá-bandeira. Bandeira means flag, so the name is due to its huge tail which resembles a waving flag.

As a brazilian it’s delightful to have animals from our fauna represented on this amazing channel
