History
- Mayflytaurs were added on 1 April 2022 and removed on the next day. 26 players managed to win 32 out of 736 games (4.35% win rate), and Sapher got a new best score result with a MyTm.
- Mayflytaurs originate from hellmonk's fork, bloatcrawl2. As it was forked before the introduction of the Zot clock, Mayflytaurs instead immediately die after turn 20,000. They don't gain passive mutations, but have a different set of aptitudes (most skills are +4).
