- Not to be confused with the Grim Reaper, its pet counterpart.
Reapers are non-tameable entities that spawn when a server is about to restart, alerted hours before in the taming.io Discord server. They are fast and have 2,000 health points, being very hard to evade without using speed builds like the hammer. Using their scythe, they can destroy all buildings with one or two sweeps and does 80 damage to players (as of now), but can be reduced by the Fairy Cape or Knight's Helmet. Its range is about the same as spears. When killed, they drop 5,000x Gold and around 10,000 experience points (XP) for pets. In order to evade them, you should use Boost Pads and Spikes/Big Spikes.
Electric Type pets will help as well as
Rock Type and
Ancient Type pets.
One reaper spawns for each player, although they may spawn at different times. Once a reaper has killed its target, it will look for another player even if they already have a Reaper after them. Because of this, a single player may have multiple reapers attacking them at once.
Server Restart[]
Respawning back into the server grants you 1,000x Apple, 1,000x
Stone and 1,000x
Wood, along with 100,000x
Gold and Age 12, but you must be killed by a Reaper to obtain these bonuses. If you don't, your age, levels, items, score and team will all be reset.
Trivia[]
- In folklore and popular culture, the Reaper is typically depicted as a skeleton wielding a scythe, symbolizing death. It is said to appear when a person is about to die, collecting their soul and guiding it to the afterlife.
- Another game from LapaMauve, Sploop.io also contains the Reaper's Scythe, but as a weapon.
