Psst.
Pssssssssssst.
We're hunting an underground wabbit.
On May 5, the carousel animals will be stampeding a little farther from their usual areas, inevitably drawing the attention of the underground beasts currently located in the forest. While the carousel fellows should be back in their places by 1 p.m., they won't be returning alone.
Some of the hungrier underground beasts will be crawling into the City, mostly scavenging for food. The horde will be hitting the City's periphery and advancing within, but they should all be withdrawing to their woords by 5 p.m., possibly with prey. Between 1-5, tho? Underground Petting Zoo Party time.
Most of the creatures won't be particularly violent, as much as intrusive. Some will be downright aggressive, eager for blood. A few will be curious, another few daring. It's entirely up to you whether your citizens find them friends or foes, though be warned that the pack feeling might send them all into the occasional rampage! And hide your food. And your shiny trinkets. And your deliciously looking clothing. And possibly, your children.
Among these fine underground companions, expect minotaurs,
these charming fellas, oversized
hydras, albino
Komodo dragons, slightly mutated bats, and
surprais_bear.
...as well as
these guys, whose nefarious skill includes turning every living and organic surface on which they sit for over 15 minutes into Skittles conveniently unbranded polychromatic candy. Yes, the Underground went
there.
Obviously, citizens can welcome, hunt, adopt, or sidestep their visitors. And yes, the creatures will try to steal their assets or their very persons, period and run off. Don't look at Flynn this time, everyone.
