Caniform is the 4th Life, the 4th Land and the 4th Mammal generator obtained in the Primary Simulation's Mammal Sub Tree, which can generate Entropy Entropy.

Design

The caniform shown in the tree looks like a grey wolf.

Description

"The caniform family include dogs, bears, seals, and more. They are opportunistic feeders and are frequently omnivores, unlike feliforms, which are pure carnivores."

Upgrades

Caniform has 20 upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a total x2.89361e9 multiplier.

Icon	Name	Description	Cost	Efficiency	Requires
	Wolf	Wolves are canines that live in packs. Historically, wolves have a complicated history with humans—they are known to prey on domesticated animals, but were domesticated themselves by early hunter-gatherers and eventually evolved into modern dogs.	Entropy 8.32e24	55%	Caniform
	Seasonal Heterothermy	Bears located in colder climates must hibernate during the winter. They consume a massive amount of food to prepare for this and spend most of the day sleeping. During this time, females will give birth to young which will nurse on their mother's milk until the spring.	Entropy 1.66e25	77%	Caniform
	Bone-Crushing Teeth	Wolves have large teeth, an elongated muzzle, and strong jaws. Their teeth are able to crush bone, solidifying their place on the food chain as powerful predators.	Entropy 5.32e25	66%	Wolf
	Grizzly Bear	A large and powerful species of bear, grizzlies have dark fur and long claws adapted for digging. They have low reproductive rates and are a threatened species. They are apex predators and the only threats to their dominance are gray wolves and humans.	Entropy 4.22e26	88%	Seasonal Heterothermy
	Black Epidermis	Underneath their fur, polar bears have black skin which absorbs the heat of the sun, and a thick layer of blubber under that. They cannot tolerate temperatures warmer than 10 degrees celsius, which cause them to overheat.	Entropy 7.88e27	122%	Grizzly Bear
	Bushy Tail	Foxes have long tails, sometimes longer than half their body length. Their tails are thick and bushy with soft fur, and can be used as a cover to keep them warm in cold weather.	Entropy 9.77e27	99%	Caniform
	Fox	Foxes are omnivorous mammals with pointed ears and snouts and bushy tails. The most common species, the red fox, is known for its bright orange coat. In many places they have become urban carnivores, living in suburbs and cities.	Entropy 7.29e28	111%	Bushy Tail
	Polar Bear	The largest species of bear, polar bears have white fur and live in the Arctic Circle. They have adapted to live in the ice and cold and their diet consists mostly of seals. They are critically threatened due to the loss of their habitat because of climate change.	Entropy 8.44e29	155%	Black Epidermis
	Loose Skin	Honey badgers have thick, loose skin. This tough and flexible pelt allows them to withstand bites and claws from other animals, and to easily twist and squirm their way out of traps or away from predators.	Entropy 4.58e31	166%	Caniform
	Honey Badger	Honey badgers are common mammals found in Africa, Southwest Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. They are known for their ferocious fighting nature and long, flexible bodies.	Entropy 2.33e32	188%	Loose Skin
	Sesamoid Thumb	The giant panda has five fingers and a "thumb" which is actually a bone attached to a tendon in their paw. This gives them some grasping ability, which seems to have evolved specifically so the panda could hold bamboo shoots for more effective snacking.	Entropy 6.89e33	199%	Grizzly Bear
	Panda	The giant panda is a bear found in China. It is known for its black and white coloring and round body. They are rare and have difficulty mating, both in the wild and in captivity. Their diet consists mostly of bamboo shoots and leaves.	Entropy 4.24e34	211%	Sesamoid Thumb
	Lung Capacity	Many aquatic mammals have the ability to hold their breath for far longer than land mammals. While they cannot dive to the depths of the cetaceans, these creatures can still stay underwater for impressive periods of time.	Entropy 7.4e36	222%	Caniform
	Pinniped	Carnivorous, semi-aquatic mammals with finned feet, the pinniped clade includes seals and walruses. They use their flippers to propel themselves through water and rely on blubber and fur to stay warm while diving.	Entropy 1.2e37	233%	Lung Capacity
	Earless	Seals have ear flaps, like almost all mammals, but they are small and hard to see. This helps to ensure that they do not get water in their ears while diving and swimming, reducing their risk for infection and complications.	Entropy 4.5e37	244%	Pinniped
	Seal	Diverging from the terrestrial caniforms 50 million years ago, seals are aquatic mammals with sleek bodies and flippers. They keep warm underwater with a layer of blubber under their skin and feed on fish, krill, mollusks, and birds.	Entropy 9.5e37	355%	Earless
	Blubber	Walruses gain their massive weight from a thick layer of blubber under their skin. This keeps them warm in the cold climate and stores fat that helps to sustain them when food is scarce.	Entropy 3.4e38	366%	Pinniped
	Walrus	Walruses are Arctic aquatic mammals known for their large tusks and huge size—they can weigh up to 4,400 pounds. They spend most of their time basking on sea ice shelves and hunting for fish.	Entropy 1.6e39	466%	Blubber
	Play	Otters are known for their playful personalities. They can often be observed making waterslides and wrestling with each other. They also use small rocks as toys and tools, sometimes using them to break open shellfish for a snack.	Entropy 6.4e39	566%	Lung Capacity
	Otter	Otters have sleek, furry bodies and webbed feet. They spend most of their time in the water and eat fish, shellfish, and crustaceans. Their layered fur insulates them and helps to keep them dry and buoyant.	Entropy 3.2e40	577%	Play

Achievements

	Smell Ya Later	Bloodhounds are a species of dog with an incredible sense of smell. They have been known to follow scents that are several days old, and over distances of nearly 200 miles. Their noses are 40 times more sensitive than the human nose.	25 Caniform
	Saluki Salute	Similar to the popularity of domestic cats, dogs were also kept as pets in Ancient Egypt. The Saluki is thought to be the oldest extant breed of dog and may date as far back as 7000 BCE.	50 Caniform
	The Alpha and the Omega	The concept of an "alpha male" in a wolf pack is based on debunked science. While male wolves may become more assertive in captivity, wild wolves do not display this behavior, and packs are co-dominated by a mated male and female pair.	100 Caniform
	The Fox and the Hound	Foxes can be domesticated, but this behavior is rarely sustainable for multiple generations. Selective breeding of the Russian silver fox has led it to gain many dog-like traits, like a friendlier demeanor, curly tails, and floppy ears.	150 Caniform
	Seal of Approval	Seals are the only caniforms that live in water. Their eyes are specially adapted to see underwater. They have round lenses like a fish, large pupils, and special reflective lining that makes it easier to see in the low light underwater.	250 Caniform
