Prehistory

If you're looking for the flavor text for this event, see Prehistory (flavor text).

Prehistory can be reached with a Gallifreyan Time Watch, from It's... Bigger On The Inside! after saying yes in The Doctor In The TARDIS (will be called The Prehistory), from strapping on The Time Machine, or from Crackling Lightning after pulling The Lever. It cannot simply be a random event.

In the event, the player can continue and get a random subevent or use an Improbability Device to get the Tyrannosaurus Rex subevent.

Cavemen

 * If you are a male in your account settings, you move 7-14(?) spaces back.
 * If you are a female in your account settings, you gain the Skip A Turn status.

One Tiny Bug...
You can capture a Temporal Bug with a Pocket Ball or continue, triggering all players in the game to receive a random name from a pool matching their gender. (Multiple players can receive the same name.) Also, the finish line has a chance to move; if it does it move 4-19(?) spaces forward or backward. (You can also catch a Temporal Bug after selecting continue initially.)
 * If you want to know a player's original username after their name is randomized, right click their new name and then click Show info. You can also tell based on the join order and player color since it doesn't change.

Mammoths
Move 13-17(?) spaces forward and become Incapacitated. If you somehow remove/prevent the Incapacitation, you can capture a Mammoth with your Pocket Ball.

Pterodactyl
Randomly move 5-20(?) spaces forward or backward. You also have a chance to capture a Pterodactyl with your Pocket Ball.

Tyrannosaurus Rex
Rarely reached as a random subevent or guaranteed to be the subevent if an Improbability Device is used. You get killed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex. If you had a death blocker or somehow come back to life, you can capture it with a Pocket Ball.

What? (The Whirlpool event)
This is regarded as one of the big secrets of BGO.
