NEW CREATURES

Anurognathus - Epic
The tiny Anurognathus is a very unique pterosaur. With a rounded skull, giant eyes, and bat-like wings, the Anurognathus is ideally adapted for the night-time aerial acrobatics that come with insect hunting. Even more impressive, the furry filamanets on the wings of these tiny creatures help their wingbeats stay silent when approaching prey, an advantage shared by many modern day owls!
Anurognathus is a Cunning Swarmer.

STAT BOOST REFUND TOKENS
Stat Boost Refund Tokens are here for a limited time! Spend a Token on a single creature and retrieve all Health, Attack or Speed Stat Boosts placed on that creature with no refund penalty!
In this update, Tokens will be distributed as Alliance Championship rewards (starting from a specific Tier).Collect them now, because these Tokens will not be made available with each Championship.
Once collected, Tokens will be stored in your Inventory. There is room in your Inventory for up to 1 of each Token type. If you collect another Token on top of the 1 stored in your Inventory of that same type, it will be sent to your Mailbox instead. Tokens sent to the Mailbox will expire after 30 days. Head to the Lab and spend the Token you have before you can add the second to your inventory!
Whether you’re preparing for the next Raid Boss or heading into PVP, Tokens will help you boost the right creatures for battle!

CREATURE UPDATES
Update 2.14 brings updates to several creatures. In each case, these changes were made based on analysis of each creature’s performance in Battle and their overall value to players.
In some cases, these updates meant changes to starter creatures like Iguanodon or Haast Eagle GEN 2 in order to keep them relevant for early-game players in our ever-diversifying Battle system.
In other cases, like that of the Apex creatures, this update brought slight adjustments throughout the rarity to make sure they stayed competitive with each other and with Boosted creatures of lower tiers.
Finally, some creatures were notably overperforming in their Battle bracket and becoming too dominant. They needed to be adjusted downward in order to give players more opportunities to apply their skill and counter them!
