The Animals pack
Last updated September 2026
The word list
These are every word in the Animals pack. In a game the crew sees one of them exactly; the impostor sees only the sub-theme in the right-hand column.
| Word | Impostor sees |
|---|---|
| Dolphin | Ocean Animals |
| Eagle | Birds of Prey |
| Elephant | Savannah Mammals |
| Penguin | Cold Climate Birds |
| Octopus | Sea Creatures |
| Kangaroo | Australian Animals |
| Butterfly | Flying Insects |
| Lion | Big Cats |
| Frog | Amphibians |
| Panda | Bears |
Giving clues for this pack
If you're on the crew
Lean on senses and habitat rather than the name. "Sleek", "pod", "echolocation" all point at a dolphin without handing it over. Avoid clues that only work if you already know the word, like "Flipper".
If you're the impostor
Animal clues live or die on specificity. Open with a safe register — "wild", "fast", "grey" — and let the early crew clues tell you whether the table is thinking land, air or water before you commit.

Crew clues

Impostor's clue
“slippery”
The tell: "Slippery" fits an eel, a fish or a bar of soap. Against three clues that all screamed cephalopod, it was the only vague one at the table.
