Behavior[]
- Wild: Emus move at a medium pace in a forward direction.
- When ridden: Emus run at a fast-medium pace.
- When angry: Emus run faster and faster, similarly to ostriches. If the habitat has been upgraded to level 5, the player will be thrown off if they hit an obstacle.
- In habitat: Emus stand and walk around in the habitat.
- Selected in habitat: Emus proudly prance, wiggling their tail and turning to either side with a flourish.
Tips[]
Emus, like ostriches, are very useful for travelling long distances very quickly with their excellent speed and agility, combined with their ability to throw the player off if an obstacle is hit (level 5) when angry. Their ability to resist the burning of fire for longer is also useful too, meaning that if the player misses a water pool, they can still make it to the next easily without dying. However, when taming, it is more difficult, as it is likely that the player will crash due to the pace of an emu.

Notes[]
- Emus were released in version 1.3.0 on the 13th of October 2016 along with Outback and all other Outback species.
- The fact that emus burn slower than other animals is a possible reference to the real life emu's heat resistance granted by their feathers.
