@laura118b In both cases this will be players who have hacked their accounts.
Some players hack their EPIC games to change the statistics of their birds and the amounts of snoutlings, LCs, etc., that they have. I believe that following some of the recent updates to the game, these players are now unable to use birds in the arena that can do extremely high levels of damage or have high levels of health.
I can only assume these, or similar players, are now working out other ways to mess around with the EPIC game.
In the first case, I assume they are hacking their games and changing the experience levels of their bird team. For example, increasing the experience level from 8 to 41. This is probably still considered to pass the selection criteria for having a legitimate account and so they can compete in the arena. I have seen several of these teams this week in the arena (in season 2).
In the second case, this is probably a player who has obtained the red key, purchased SeaDog (probably using LCs obtained by hacking the account), and then hacked the account and reduced the experience level from, for example, 30 down to 8. They have probably done this because they think they can compete and win at the lower experience level.
By the way, the special LC classes (e.g. Sea Dog, Thunderbird) do not show up in Piggy McCools shop until you reach the position on the map with the training area for that class.
