'''What can I do to be best prepared for this event?'''
Advancement in this event is highly affected by having '''multiple biomes unlocked'''. Try to avoid retiring your lead wolf too near the start of this event to prevent biome loss, as retiring your lead wolf [https://grousehouse.wiki/Scouting#Biome_Map_Reset leaves you with only three biomes open]. If you don’t have the whole map explored, try to scout as many biomes as possible before August. Being able to explore in as many biomes as possible will be very helpful as you'll be able to discover many more cryptids!

== Exploring ==
In order to unlock event content, collect currency, and finish quests, you must explore. Due to the recent natural disasters, the local animals are in peril; there are a whole bunch of new explore encounters and creatures to find and help! Some of the new event explore encounters reward you with the event's currency, [[File:Icon-cryptid-scale.png]] Cryptid Scales, but many of them just give you normal items such as toys and food.

New encounters will appear in every biome at all times of day, but you might notice a change in frequency alongside a new mechanic, '''disasters'''!

New warning icons will begin appearing in the biomes you've fully scouted to represent disasters, weather events which affect what you can find in each biome. There are two categories of disaster. '''Disasters''' are the basic and most frequent weather event, involving a more moderate storm or event. If taking a turn for the worst, a disaster can develop into a '''cataclysm''', a stronger, more catastrophic event that brings great peril to the region.

'''Every 15 minutes, the disaster status of every biome will roll to change.''' This occurs at the same time every hour. For example, disasters are rolled at the following times: 00:15, 00:30, 00:45, and 1:00. There are three outcomes that can occur every time this roll takes place. The disaster could '''dissipate''', meaning that the biome will not have any disaster for the next 15 minutes. The disaster could also '''persist''', meaning it will remain the same for the next 15 minutes. Otherwise, the disaster could '''evolve into a cataclysm''', with the possible cataclysm depending on which disaster it originated from.

<div class="c-content" style="display: block;">
== Disasters and Cataclyms ==


With natural disasters wrecking havoc daily, the explore map is frequently changing. You'll notice new icons appearing in the biomes you've fully scouted, warning you of storms and disasters in each biome. With each disaster brings more animals in distress, but they also attract more Cryptids to discover!
You pick your way through some brush, the earthquakes causing you to be more cautious on your feet. You approach a ledge that you're sure wasn't here before, and see a gaping slash through the ground. Well, that can't be good.




<p class="text-center"><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879247980962672640/1011889000845414440/Screen_Shot_2022-08-24_at_12.45.17_AM.png"></p>
'''Coniferous Forest and Riparian Woodland:''' At first glance, you're not quite sure what's approaching but you watch in fascination as the wall of water grows and moves. You're on the edge of panic when you notice that the water level is rapidly rising. It's the biggest wave you've ever seen! There will be no way to escape if you're in its way, and you take off as fast as you can in the other direction.  




These icons represent disasters -- new weather events which affect what you can find in each biome.
'''Mountains:''' Rumbling beneath your paws alerts you to danger as you trek across the snow. You look up the mountain and see a wall of snow barreling toward you. Run!




[[file:cat_00.png]] The yellow triangle icon represents an ordinary disaster.
'''Grasslands:''' You feel a rumbling beneath your feet. As you look down, the ground starts to split between your paws. You quickly sidestep, and watch from a safe distance as the ground splits apart.|This disaster can appear in any biome}}


[[file:cat_02.png]] The black and orange triangle represents a cataclysm.


{{SwampRainforestDisaster|El Niño|elnino|rainforest|summer|day|[[File:cat_02.png]]<br>Cataclysm|This cataclysm can evolve from '''Monsoon'''|No unique flavor text}}


'''Every 15 minutes, each biome rolls for a chance to develop a disaster.''' This occurs at the same time every hour. For example, disasters are rolled at the following times: 00:15, 00:30, 00:45, and 1:01.


{{Disaster|Fireball|fireball|mountains|summer|dusk|[[File:cat_00.png]]<br>Disaster|This disaster can evolve into a '''Meteor Strike''' cataclysm|A distant, flaming orb is burning through the night sky. The sight is both mysterious and unsettling. The object does not pose any threat to you for now, but it has to come down at some point. You hope you're far away from wherever it lands.}}


If the biome already has a disaster, the roll determines if it will dissipate, persist, or evolve into a Cataclysm. Cataclysms are similar to disasters, but are much more catastrophic.


{{Disaster|Firestorm|firestorm|coniferousforest|summer|dawn|[[File:cat_02.png]]<br>Cataclysm|This cataclysm can evolve from '''Drought'''|Fire surrounds you, blocking you in on every side. It happened so fast that any route of escape was swallowed up before you could act. You look around wildly for a way out, and with luck, a small gap in the wall of flame opens and you don't hesitate. Your fur gets a bit scorched, but you're safe. Phew!}}


When exploring in a biome, you can see if a disaster is currently occurring with the banner above the explore menu.

As soon as it feels freedom, the creature runs away as fast as it can. You don't blame it for this lack of trust, especially when your meetings with its kind usually don't end well for them.

{{GrouseTipRight|Did you know? Any explore-based quest that a cryptid gives you will be completable in the cryptid's home biome! So, if a cryptid asks you to battle a specific enemy, head back to the same biome that you found the cryptid in, and you'll be able to find the enemy there to. If you've forgotten where you found the cryptid, don't worry, their home biome is labeled at the bottom of their Cryptid Dens page.}}

You approach and stare long and hard at the tail that has a long-fingered paw as casually as you have four of your own.

|Watching in fascination, you see the creature is sitting grooming itself without a care in the world. It's using its small paws to wash its face and pick things out of its belly fur. Meanwhile, the tail with the paw is picking stuff off of its back...and is it giving it a massage too? Either way, that must be "handy" to have another hand!|"More hands, I need more!

The dual nature of this being makes it a bridge between the ocean and the land. You feel a twinge of jealousy deep inside your heart. You'd like to swim freely and hunt underwater, too. The ocean wolf smiles slightly, noticing your genuine fascination, and approaches you with a friendly attitude.
|"It's rare to meet someone by accident here. Or maybe it's not an accident. Will you help me with something?"
|You see the Akhlut coming out of the ocean from afar and it makes you wonder if there are any disadvantages to being an underwater wolf. There aren't any signs of this creature's pack anywhere, so it's likely either a lone wolf or it's driven by different needs. You definitely have more questions than time to spare.|"I hope you're ready to work. With your help, we can complete these tasks a lot earlier than I estimated. Let's get going."

== Discovering Cryptids ==
|A shaggy, long-armed creature is dangling from a low-hanging vine. It tilts its head at you in a playful way.
You can encounter Cryptids while exploring normally during the Cataclysms event. They can be found in every biome, at every time of day.




'''There are 72 total Cryptids, with 6 found in each biome.'''
You stare at the creature and it stares right back. You want to look away, but the staring contest ensuing is too intense to resist. Who will win? Will the creature blink first? You feel something slimy go over your feet and jump back in surprise. A vine...which the creature surely could not have commanded to trip you and break your stare, right?
 
|"You lasted longer than most! But my stare is unmatched. Come, I have a task for you."
 
|The creature is sitting in the nearby muck, slathering mud through its hair and looking quite pleased. A horrible smell reaches your nose, and you know it has to be coming from the creature. Was it taking a bath? A...mud bath? It turns when it sees you, shooting you a muddy grin.|"Still falling for that, I see. Back so soon?"
You will be notified on your explore page when you have discovered a new Cryptid.
|"Let's start off with something easy. Bring me '''5 x large leaves'''. They shouldn't be too hard to find, and it will be a good test of your searching skills."|• Give 5x Large Leaf|"I like the mud, but I want a dry place to sleep. Bring me '''2 x nesting material''' so that I can make a nice bed out of the mud."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"There is so much pain and suffering during these disasters, but we can't prevent them. We can only help in the aftermath. Please help '''2 x distressed animals in explore'''."|• Help 2x distressed animals|"Well done I say. Carry on now, and come back tomorrow."

|Celofay
|[[File:celofay.png]]
|Amber eyes in a silvery face blink at you from the tall grass. The tufted, pointed ears remind you of a lynx.


All cryptids are broken into one of three factions; '''Independent, Kinfolk, and The Merged'''.


 
This cat is larger than a lynx when you look closer, and they are wiry, almost gaunt. The feline waves its long tail in greeting, then throws its head back and lets out a screeching cry. Your head feels fuzzy, and for a moment you forget where you are. It fades after a moment and you are left confused.
Per the [https://www.wolvden.com/chatter/topic/820859 post announcing the event], each faction has its own agenda.
|"Company at last! I knew my song would bring someone to me. Did you like it? Anyway, I need your help! Don't worry, you'll be rewarded for your time."
 
|Celofay is crouched low, staring at something in the long grass. An odd sound comes from its mouth, different from any sound it has made before, and it stops abruptly before another follows it. Was it calling something? You see a small rodent stumble toward the cat's paws, and it quickly dispatches it.
The Independent are a neutral faction, some tending to lean more towards Kinfolk or The Merged in certain instances.
|"My song is usually enough to scare most away after the first time, but you're brave, aren't you? Ready for the next task?"|"I've been spending so much time chasing off Merged scum that I haven't had any time–let alone the energy–to hunt for myself. Can you help me out? You'll be rewarded! I don't need much. Bring me '''3 x full use carcasses'''."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"We must keep our minds and claws sharp! A good way to do that is through hunting. Complete '''3 hunts''' and you'll have earned your rest for the day."|• Complete 3x hunts|"It feels like I'm endlessly fighting off those Merged jerks. I'm exhausted and need a rest, but there are still more nearby. Would you help me out? Defeat '''2 x of the Merged cryptids'''."|• Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids|"Very good, friend. I couldn't have done it without your help. Come back and see me tomorrow...pretty please?"
 
}}<table class="enemy cryptid">
Kinfolk are kind and wish for the land to heal. They do not seek fights with local wildlife.
<tr>
 
<td rowspan=4 class="enemyimage">
The Merged wish to further their own goals by any means necessary, and they are not opposed to cruelty. They fight relentlessly with the Kinfolk.

It is up to you to decide which faction you would like to side with!
 
 
<div style="text-align:center;">'''Quests'''</div>
After you have discovered a cryptid, you can visit them on the [https://www.wolvden.com/cryptids Cryptid Den] page. Here, they will greet you, and request your help with a quest.
 
 
Cryptid quests help you gain reputation with certain factions, which is used to unlock shop items.
 
You can take 24 quests per rollover, but only 1 quest from each cryptid per rollover. You cannot do all 24 quests with one cryptid, and must have at least 24 unique cryptids unlocked to reach this amount if you wish.
 
 
'''The first cryptid quest you take every rollover will reward +50 reputation with the faction of the cryptid you took it from, and -5 reputation with the other two factions.''' Every quest after this, until your next rollover, will reward +10 reputation with the faction you took it with, and -5 reputation with the other two factions.
 
 
Each quest will also grant [[File:icon-cryptid-scale.png]] 5 Cryptid Scales.
 
 
Each cryptid has a small pool of quests which it can give you, depending on the biome you found it in and the faction it is in. You can view all possible cryptid quests in the list of cryptids further down in this guide.
 
 
The tasks that cryptids have you complete, besides turning in items, '''will always be accomplishable in the biome you found the cryptid in'''. For example, if a Prairie cryptid asks you to battle a certain enemy, the enemy will always be able to be found in the Prairie.
 
 
You may also choose to skip a quest with a cryptid for [[File:icon-sc.png]] 10 SC. Skipping a quest does not give you the opportunity to take another quest directly afterwards. After skipping a cryptid's quest, you are not able to take another quest from that cryptid until the next rollover.  
 
 
<div style="text-align:center;">'''Reputation'''</div>
 
The reputation you gain with each faction is used to unlock items in Aurakai's Brokerage. '''You need at least 100 reputation with at least one faction in order for items to appear in the shop.'''
 
 
Besides this, you need 300 reputation with a faction to purchase a Dingbat Pathfinder, and 500 reputation with a faction to purchase their exclusive Base Applicator.
 
 
Reputation '''does not''' decay over rollovers and is not affected by cryptids you battle while exploring.

|Big, round eyes in a fluffy mottled pelt make this creature almost inviting to approach. It raises its tail and waves the paw at you.
|Shimmering blue scales draw your gaze to this serpentine creature. Its nostrils flare and it assesses you curiously.
 


You approach and stare long and hard at the tail that has a long-fingered paw as casually as you have four of your own. The tail brushes back and forth over the ground behind it, and stops briefly to pick up a small bug and pop it in its mouth. The tail-paw reaches for you next, and you back up a step.
Despite being landbound, Champ appears quite comfortable as it spreads its length on the bank and soaks up the sun. The blue of its scales seem to shift and change with the river as it flows, and you're sure that once this creature disappears beneath the water, it's untrackable.
|"Hello there, large friend. I need a hand. Well...another one, that is. Care to assist?"
|"Oh! You're small, aren't you? But I bet you're fast, and time is of the essence. I'm slow on land. Care to help me out?"
|Second day flavor text
|The creature is kind, and you had almost forgotten about its sharp teeth. As it sits on the bank, you watch as it snatches up small toads, tosses them in the air, and swallows them in one gulp. You're suddenly aware of just how strong it is should it turn on you.|"You're a good soul to come back. I knew asking you was the right thing to do. Ready for the next task?"
|"More hands, I need more! Ah...help, I mean. I need help. You'll do it, won't you?"
|"It's hard to traverse this land, and I'm running low on supplies. Would you get me 1x item, 1x item, 1x item, 1x item, 1x item? That should be enough for now."|• Give 5x local items*|"There's very little area for me to hunt here; the river is far too small. Would you help me? I'm quite hungry, and I know you and your pack are strong hunters. Bring me '''3 x full use carcasses''' and I'll make sure it's worth your while!"|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"The river isn't flowing as strong as it should be; the water seems to be trapped somewhere.

|Akhlut
|Chupacabra
|[[File:akhlut.png]]
|[[File:chupacabra.png]]
|It takes a few seconds to realise that this creature isn't a dream or hallucination. It is a cross between a wolf and a fish or a whale with a long fin on its back and a tail adapted to the depths of the ocean.
|This grey-green creature looks fierce enough to rip apart anything it pleases. It's not large, but it sure is menacing as it stares you down with its glowing red eyes.
 


The dual nature of this being makes it a bridge between the ocean and the land. You feel a twinge of jealousy deep inside your heart. You'd like to swim freely and hunt underwater, too. The ocean wolf smiles slightly, noticing your genuine fascination, and approaches you with a friendly attitude.
It paces as you approach, sizing you up. Spikes grow irregularly from its back and a long, snake-like tongue hangs from its mouth and flicks in your direction. It sniffs the air and pulls its tongue back into its mouth, making a smacking motion with its jaws. Is it tasting you?
|"It's rare to meet someone by accident here. Or maybe it's not an accident. Will you help me with something?"
|"You. You there. Come closer. You smell tasty but there are more interesting things out there. Want to join me? You may have fun."
|Second day flavor text
|The Chupacabra is walking back and forth restlessly. It growls, clearly impatient. It hasn't noticed you yet, and you watch in fascination for a moment to get a better look at the creature. Its claws are so long and curled to the point that as it walks it creates claw marks in the soft soil. You decide it's time to approach and stop gawking.|"I knew you would come again. I have another plan. Want to hear?"
|Second day quest text
|"If you are not a good hunter, you will be hunted. I'm starving. Complete '''3 hunts''' and come back once you're done."|• Complete 3x hunts|"No offence, but you wolves are the worst when it comes to invading my space. I think you're the third today.

If you do, I may keep you around."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"There is no meal that could fill me for long. I have a craving for something specific.

|Alaskan Tiger
|Creepy Black Hound
|[[File:alaskantiger.png]]
|[[File:creepyblackhound.png]]
|A majestic, large feline stares at you calmly as if he was expecting you. Elongated canines can be seen even when the cat's mouth is closed.
|A creature resembling a large dog looks at you in silence. Black as the darkest night, with muscles shining under its short fur, they look as if they are ready to hunt.
 


You hesitate before taking the first step. The snow-white fur is deceivingly beautiful. Everything about this creature looks deadly and sharp. You could be killed within seconds, but the tiger doesn't seem to be hostile. A strange expression crosses its face, and it appears to be trying to smile.
You approach the dog and notice that it's equally interested in your presence, its blood red eyes following your every step. You've never seen a dog so large. It bares its teeth for a brief moment and comes closer with a dominating stare.
|"The world will be beyond repair if we don't act quickly. Will you help me?"
|"Since you are already here, make yourself useful. It may be beneficial to both of us. I may need your help. Are you in?"
|Second day flavor text
|The black hound is walking stiffly around, inspecting each and every corner, nook, and cranny. Its ears are pricked forward alertly, and its nose is flaring as it takes in every scent. It would be a formidable guardian to have at your side, and a deadly foe if turned against you. You proceed forward with caution.|"So, you're back for another job?"
|"The more we talk, the less time we have. There's more to do."
|"I don't like to admit it, but I have weak points too, and I need to be prepared for the worst. There are many who would like to eliminate me and take my place. Bring me '''2 x healing salves''' so I will be ready for any enemy when they come."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"I have seen plentiful prey around and it looks tasty. Prove your skills, I won't work with weaklings. Complete '''3 hunts''' and return for judgement."|• Complete 3x hunts|"I try to ignore most creatures unless they mess with me. Find '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' and defeat them! I don't care if you kill them or simply chase them off. They can go elsewhere with their useless Kinfolk good intentions. Only the strongest will survive."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"Not too bad with the last one. I underestimated you. Come back tomorrow if you want to do more."

|Altamaha-ha
|Cressie
|[[File:altamahaha.png]]
|[[File:cressie.png]]
|Large and reptilian-like, this fearsome creature glares down at you with eyes full of malice. A hiss comes from its mouth and you hesitate for a moment.
|You stumble upon a scaly snake-like creature. It stretches tall and observes you with its cool blue gaze.
 


The creature sprawls in the river, blocking the flow of the water and quite clearly not giving a damn. Fish frantically try to find a way around, and with an evil grin they are snatched up and swallowed whole.
It may be related to a snake, but you're sure this isn't any species you've ever seen. It has a head like a fish, with whiskers hanging from its lips, fins, and gills. How was it breathing outside of the water? Although surely since it wasn't a normal sort of creature it didn't matter, right? Its mouth gapes and it peers at you.
|"Oh look, another land-dweller comes to beg for mercy. Well I won't give it if your performance is anything but perfect. Either agree or be eaten, hmm?"
|"You, landwalker! You seem capable. Mind helping me out?"
|Altamaha-ha sits very still on the shore, tail raised as if to strike. Suddenly its tail smacks the water harshly and you see a fish float to the surface, unsure if it's dead or just stunned. Either way Altamaha-ha lifts its tail and watches the fish float down river.
|The creature has found soft, muddy ground nearby and you watch in amusement as it flips and twists, covering itself in the mud and burrowing down after a moment. You wait for it to come back out, but it doesn't stir. Should you get closer? Suddenly it shifts under the mud and stands upright, the only thing not covered in mud is its bright blue eyes blinking slowly at you.|"Back to help again? Fine by me!"
|"You're a smart one to come back before I can hunt you down; it would be a waste of my precious time, otherwise. Let's get on with it."
|"I want to know everything I can about this land. I can't go far, so you'll have to take your scouts and report back to me. Complete '''1 scouting mission''' and tell them not to leave any stone unturned!"|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"With all of these disasters happening, I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling trapped and scared. I feel so vulnerable here on land. I'm sure other animals are no different. See if you can find and help '''2 x distressed animals in explore'''. It may not seem like much, but it will make a world of difference to them."|• Help 2x distressed animals|"Can't you sense it? There are humans close by. I can feel their movements through the vibrations in the ground, and they don't seem friendly. See if you can chase them off before they cause any trouble."|• Find the men in black in the Tundra|"You did that much faster than I could have. Not having legs is really a bother here. Anyway, check back with me later."
|• Catch one uncommon fish<br>

|A large, worm-like creature rests in the warm sand. Its body is abnormally twisted but its movements are surprisingly smooth.
|Dark, human-shaped silhouettes observe you motionlessly from a distance. You don't see humans often but these figures look taller and more intimidating with their piercing gaze.
 


You pad closer, and you feel observed. While you can't see the giant worm's mouth, you can clearly hear its voice. It resembles a dry, malicious hiss. You feel an urge to take a step back when it gets closer to you.
The couple stands still but you notice that it's impossible to approach them or take a closer look. No matter how much you try to focus, you can't point out any clear detail of their faces. Suddenly, you hear their voice, a perfect unison, in your head.
|"What a perfect coincidence. I need someone like you. Interested?"
|"The time for keeping to yourself is over. If you help us, we may be able to stop this madness together."
|Second day flavor text
|You cannot guess any expressions from their featureless faces but you feel the couple's intense stare. You wonder where they came from. Were they dead humans? Did they always watch things around them with such intensity? You're wary, but they don't seem to do anything other than stare at you.|"We're glad to see you again. Your help is really appreciated. It's time for you to carry out another task."
|"You again...good, good. I have another plan. Do you want to join in?"

|This creature looks more or less like a regular canine to you, but its body has so many strange angles and you're quite certain it's no ordinary hound.
|Shaggy hair flops in front of glowing eyes, and a large ape-like creature rises to its feet in front of you. The eyes are kind, and you sense no malice from the creature.
 


The movements of the creature are too smooth and natural for it to be ill, so its body shape does not appear to be the result of any kind of mutation. You approach closer, feeling a sense of familiarity after the surprising first impression.
Moving from tree to tree, the creature seems to be inspecting the health of each. Gently touching leaves, sniffing the bark, and feeling the soil around the roots. The care it shows to the land is admirable.
|"Do you have some time to spare? I think I need some help. Nothing too difficult, I promise."
|"Hello there, fellow traveler. If you aren't too busy looking after your pack, would you help me? The situation in the world is grave."
|The more you think about this being, the less strange it becomes to you. Supernatural or not, you share a few things in common. The creature is waiting for you, nibbling on a stick with a relaxed expression.
|The Dewey Lake Monster has found some wild strawberries and is eagerly consuming them. Red sticky juice coats their fingers and dribbles down their chin into their hair. When it sees you, it holds one up in offering.|"It's good to see you, friend-wolf! I'm glad you're back. Tell me when you're ready and I'll give you another task."
|"Your help is priceless. I'm sure you're ready for upcoming tasks. I don't know what I'd do without you. So... will you agree to do more?"

|Ball-Tailed Cat
|Dover Demon
|[[File:balltailedcat.png]]
|[[File:doverdemon.png]]
|A creature resembling a mountain lion is peering at you, waving its tail slowly back and forth. The large mass on the end of its tail resembles a ball, but you have a feeling it's not for playing with.
|A long-fingered creature that stands on all fours assesses you with a sniff. Judgmental eyes follow your every move.
 


You approach the odd cat and it stretches languidly, as if showing off the muscles beneath its pelt. As it returns to a sitting position, it flicks its tail and lets the mass hit the ground with an audible thump. It appears to be testing your resolve. Its eyes glow an ominous green, and you feel slightly unnerved as you stare at the cat. Is it friendly, or does it hope to swing that heavy tail at your head?
When you look at the demon, you're reminded of a dog. But the body is too awkward, and those paws...were they even paws? They were longer than your own, and bent in odd ways. The creature curls them into the dirt and fixes you with a hard stare.
|"I suppose you'll do. Care to help me with something, pup?"
|"Done staring yet? If so I've got a quest for you. Are you up for it?"
|The cat is laying flat, as if thoroughly enjoying its time not doing anything and using you as its servant. It lifts its head and looks at you with a glare, as if disapproving that you're back to bother it.
|Without any hair, you wonder if the creature gets cold. There's a sickly green tone to its skin, and it's tight and dry over a bony body. You almost feel sorry for it as it lays in a sun spot. It wakes after a moment and stretches its long, creepy fingers.|"The ogler has returned! You're not so bad, I suppose. Ready for the next task?"|"This grass is dry and scratchy, how do you stand it? It's useless to make a proper bed. I need something softer. Get '''5 x large leaves''' and bring them back to me. I'd prefer if they were the best you can find, but anything is better than this horribly itchy grass."|• Give 5x Large Leaf|"Do you have any food? ...No? Well then go and find some or hunt or whatever it is you do. Bring me back '''2 x full use carcasses''' and I'll give you something in return."|• Give 2x full-use carcasses|"I keep smelling traces of '''1 x ____''' getting closer and closer as time goes on, like they're stalking me. I can't have that, so you need to be a good little wolf and go and kill them. Don't worry, I'm sure it won't hurt you too badly. Go on, then."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): American Badger, Bobcat, Cougar, Mustang Stallion|"Not bad, furry. Come back tomorrow and I'll have more for you to do."

|Beaman
|Dungavenhooter
|[[File:beaman.png]]
|[[File:dungavenhooter.png]]
|The monster before you is unlike any you've seen before. It sort of resembles a wolf...and yet, its malevolent eyes speak of its true nature.
|You don't notice anything strange about this creature at first. In fact, it looks like a normal alligator before you see that its jaws are completely shut closed by skin.
 


Beaman moves around as if its tracking prey, but you can't smell anything near by. It seems quite intent, and you're left puzzled. Is it just paranoid?
The creature notices you as soon as you lay your eyes on it. Even without a visible mouth, it appears as if it is smiling. You can hear its nightmarish voice directly in your head. Normally an alligator would not pose much threat as long as you stayed far away, but this one is truly unsettling.
|"You're so puny, how on earth do you survive? Luck? Whatever it is, I have need of it."
|"Let's make a deal. Work for me for a while, and I won't cause any problems during your journey. Sound like a deal?"
|Without you around, Beaman has disappeared. Or has it? You cast your eyes around and lock in on a shadowy patch under a bush. Two blinking red eyes stare at you hungrily, and you feel your fur rise on your pelt as it steps from the shadows.
|In the murky waters of the swamp, the dark, scaly body of the creature is hard to notice, even when you know where to look. It sees itself as the king of this area, so you have to wait for it to come to you, not the other way around.|"So, how did it go? Don't talk about your feelings or other unnecessary stuff. I want the results. Speaking of which... I will need you again soon. Are you ready for that?"
|“Puny pup, back for more? Delightful. Be quicker this time, would you?"
|"I need you to bring me '''3 x ____''' as fast as you can. Do this for me so I can use my precious time for something better."|• Give 3x local items*|"I see you are bold enough to call yourself a hunter in front of me. You have a chance to prove it and kill a '''1 x ____''' for me. I'm getting hungry."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Frenzied Razorback, Wild Boar|"I really don't like sharing my territory with anyone else. I hate the Kinfolk, but I'm not going to watch my prey and resources being stolen by anyone.

|Beast of Bladenboro
|Enfield Monster
|[[File:beastofbladenboro.png]]
|[[File:enfieldmonster.png]]
|Glowing amber eyes look at you coldly from a creature as black as the shadows. Its bushy tail sweeps back and forth as you approach.
|You're not quite sure what to make of the bug-eyed, hunched, three-hooved creature in front of you. It's not exactly aggressive, but it's not very pleasant, either.
 


It resembles a lion, with a thick curly mane that not only covers its chest, but travels down its back in spiky tufts. Sharp white teeth snarl at you as you take a hesitant step forward, and you feel your pelt prickle with unease. You must tread carefully.
The way the creature walks is almost like an insect, with each leg moving independently of the others. It flicks its funny little ears and scratches them with its long claws with a grumble. As it shuffles around, it seems to be muttering to itself and barely acknowledges your presence.
|"What do you want, mangy? Hmm...you want to help, you say? Well, there's no shortage of work to be done. I'm sure you could be useful to me."
|"What do you want? Can't you see I'm ''busy''? I have so much to do...but maybe you can help. Wanna give it a go?"
|The beast stretches almost too casually, licking its paws and swiping them to groom the fur on its face. It's trying to give the appearance of ease and confidence, but you can see tension in its body. It was prepared for anything and on high alert. Amber eyes sharply watch your every move.
|You're not sure how it's managing it, but the Enfield Monster is sitting in the long grass, different weeds and flowers clutched in its claws. It sniffs each in turn before stuffing it in its mouth and chewing, only to spit it right back out. Did it think they were food?|"The busy-body is back! I guess you like my gifts in return for your service, hmm? I have more to offer. Ready for today's task?"
|Second day quest text
|"I've tasted every leaf and flower around here, and they all suck. I need something better, and you're going to bring me only the tastiest leaves. Bring back '''5 x large leaves''' or don't bother coming back."|• Give 5x Large Leaf|"I'm in dire need of supplies. Find me '''3 x ____''' and hurry back."|• Give 3x medicines (randomized)|"This place is boring. I need entertainment before I do something reckless, like see how long it takes me to eat your toes.

|Beast of Bray Road
|Evil Cadejo
|[[File:beastofbrayroad.png]]
|[[File:evilcadejo.png]]
|Hideous and twisted, the wolf-like form in front of you only resembles a wolf in passing. Its gleaming red eyes and sharp teeth as it hunches over on two paws fill you with dread.
|The huge shadowy creature in front of you resembles a dog, but as you look closer, you notice its distorted features and unkempt, messy fur. This is no ordinary dog.
 


The Beast slinks around the clearing, its long, hunched strides making you think of a predator stalking prey. Something catches its attention and it lowers itself on all fours, sniffing the ground. It can move both ways? Yikes!
The eyes of the creature are glowing with fiery, malevolent light like the last two stars in a dark sky. While the monster looks canine, you notice that it has hooves instead of paws. It shows you its mouth full of sharp, jagged teeth in a twisted smile.
|"A mortal! I used to be one, once. Dreadful and boring. Care to cure some of that boredom and help me with a few things?"
|"I believe you are smart enough to know that coming here means that you will serve me. Let's get on with it, shall we?"
|The creature doesn't seem to have a care in the world. It stretches out on the ground to its full length of several feet and throws its head back in a long howl. Shivers roll down your spine and as the creature turns and locks eyes with you, you know who the true apex predator is here.
|The creature awaits you in silence, focused on your movement as if it's ready to kill you on the spot. Even now, when you're more familiar with its appearance, your fur prickles with tension and anxiety.|"Come for the next task? I'm glad to see you obeying me and following my rules."
|"Are you small? You seem smaller than other wolves, but perhaps I'm just superior with my height. No matter; you're still useful. Let's get on with it."
|"My life here is far from peaceful, and honestly, I enjoy this chaos around. However, constant fighting means there's a chance of getting wounded. Bring me '''2 x healing salves''' so I can restock my supplies."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"Don't question my hunting skills. I'm probably far better than you. If you don't bring me '''3 x full use carcasses''' I will consider eating you instead."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"There is one creature that needs to be gone and I think you are the perfect wolf to get this done. Defeat '''1 x Nagual''' and tell me every detail so I can taste the victory."|• Defeat 1x Nagual|"Maybe you're not so useless after all. I will have more work for you soon."
|• Complete 2x hunts<br>

|Beast of Busco
|Flatwoods Monster
|[[File:beastofbusco.png]]
|[[File:flatwoodsmonster.png]]
|The beast before you resembles a snapping turtle, but it's larger than any you've seen before. It turns its massive head and snaps its beak at you.
|You are about to rest under an odd-shaped tree when you notice it has eyes and is staring at you with curiosity. This creature's camouflage is close to perfection and almost gives you a heart attack.
 


The reptile doesn't necessarily seem aggressive, but its size alone is enough for you to hesitate before moving closer. It seems to be sizing you up, wondering whether or not you are worth its time and energy. It's slow moving, but it doesn't seem to mind and appears to be quite content to watch the world pass by.
The more you observe this creature, the more questions you have. Even now, this being still resembles a tree with its elongated, thin, branch-like arms and green, mossy coat. Only the face looks somewhat familiar, resembling an owl with crimson eyes. Even if it's completely harmless, you feel an unpleasant tingling sensation under your skin.
|"I could make use of those paws of yours. Come closer, I won't bite. At least not hard..."
|"What's wrong with your kind, pup? You're another one wanting to rest here or to mark me. Will you be useful for once? I need help."
|The sound of scraping and heavy movement reaches your ears as you get within sight of the beast. It's moving around, using its claws to kick up dirt and debris. What was it doing? It stops when it catches you staring and lets out a faint hissing noise.
|The green coat of the creature is long enough to reach the ground, covering the bottom part of its body completely. You can't figure out how this being moves around, if it has legs or uses some sort of mystical power to make its body glide slowly. It takes a while until it approaches you but staring at it is quite fascinating.|"I'm glad we made this deal. You're much faster, it would take me forever. Are you interested in more tasks? You'll finish it in no time, undoubtedly."
|Second day quest text
|"You need herbs and medicines to cure your wounds. My method is different. I need '''5 x large branches''' to absorb their juices into my body. I can do it with animals, too, but I'd much rather use the branches. Besides, it would be better for you if you never witness that."|• Give 5x Large Branch|"I'm not as fast as you. It would take forever if I tried to discover this land all by myself. If you complete '''1 scouting mission''' it will definitely help me to acclimate to this land. Who knows, maybe I will be able to return the favour in the future when you need me."|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"Believe me or not, I wish for peaceful co-existence more than anything. Unfortunately, we must get rid of all the threats first. Defeat '''2 x of the Merged cryptids''' and it will be a good start."|• Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids|"Good job! Thanks to you, I can focus on more important things. That's all for today but I may need you if you come back tomorrow."
|• Catch one uncommon fish<br>
• Find the snapping turtle in the Riparian Woodland<br>

|Belled Buzzard
|Fresno Nightcrawler
|[[File:belledbuzzard.png]]
|[[File:fresnonightcrawler.png]]
|A grizzled old buzzard glares at you with beady eyes. The belly around its neck rings ominously.
|Extremely long legs, a short torso, and a lack of arms or front paws make this creature's appearance look really alien to you. Only one large eye in the middle of its face captures your attention, and the more you stare at this being the more questions you have.
 


The bird crouches on the ground, wings half spread out. It appears hunched over, like it's old and the weight of the world is weighing it down. Everytime it moves, the bell chimes with an eerie sound, and the hair on your back prickles and stands on end. This bird means death.
You don't think that you can get used to this weird being but you're also curious about it. The creature doesn't seem hostile but you can't tell much by just looking at the featureless face covered with green fur. With a careful step forward, you take a closer look, wondering how to start a conversation when you can't spot its mouth or ears. When you finally hear its voice, you still aren't sure if the creature uses its mouth or some special power.
|"What are you looking at, ugly? Scared? Good. Now do as I say before my patience runs out."
|"What are you doing here? You may stay and do what you want if you help me."
|Second day flavor text
|For a brief moment, you pity this being, convinced that it must suffer without upper limbs, claws, or any other way to defend itself. You change your mind quickly, observing how fast it is. However this strange body works, it probably serves the creature well.|"You're back already? Good. You may leave or help me again. Are you ready for more?"
|"You're back. Ready for your next task? I'll make it worth your while again."
|"Gathering stuff isn't my strong point, to say the least. You, on the other hand, have at least a few ways to drag stuff around. Bring me '''5 x ____'''. It should be easy enough to come across on your travels."|• Give 5x local items*|"Merged or Kinfolk...I don't really care as long as I'm left alone. In fact, I don't tolerate any intruders, no matter what their intentions are. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' OR '''2 x of the Merged cryptids''' and come back after you're done."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk or the Merged cryptids (randomized)|"I may look scary for some, which is good, but the truth is that I can't hunt well due to...well...my appearance. If you find something large, like a dead cow, I will have food for several days."|• Find the dead cow in the Desert|"Nice work. You're definitely faster than me on your four legs. There will be more to do but leave me alone now.

|Like a cross between a snake and a fish, the glittering, scaled being before you observes you with a curious gaze. It appears friendly.
|A ball of fur just under the surface of the water looks like a dead rodent and catches your attention. To your surprise, not only is it alive, but it's also no rodent...it's a fish!
 


It sits loosely curled around itself on the ground, shifting back and forth occasionally. It glistens, and smells quite fishy. The creature is huge, and you're certain it could make prey out of you if it wanted. But its eyes are kind, and it leans closer to you with nostrils flaring, taking in your scent.
While the shape of this creature is indeed fish-like, your mind refuses to acknowledge the presence of fur. You can't imagine a furry fish even in your wildest dreams. When it looks back at you, you can't help but take a step back.
|"Furry thing, aren't you? I bet your fur is soft. I need help from a landwalker like you. Won't you help me?"
|"Do you need some more time to process what you see? I can wait but time is running out and I need some help. Don't, you won't have to dive."
|Second day flavor text
|As you become accustomed to the peculiar appearance of this creature, it starts to look normal in your eyes. The thing that still shocks you is the creature's ability to speak! This world has indeed gone mad.|"You're back, finally! Will you agree to another task? I may have fur but it takes more time to grow legs so I can't do anything myself yet."
|"You came back! Thank goodness. I have more for you to do. Are you up for it?"
|"Because of this fur, many animals have an unhealthy interest in trying to eat me. I'm fast enough to escape but I need some help to recover faster. I think that '''2 x healing salves''' should be enough for now "|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"The current situation is so absorbing that I have had no time to hunt myself. You can help me if you catch an '''uncommon fish in the fishing game''' for me. Hurry up, and stop looking at me like that for eating a fish."|• Catch 1x uncommon fish|"I can't do anything above the surface so you will have to do this for me.

|An ill-looking creature emerges from the shadows, snarling at you. Its appearance contradicts the level of bloodthirst this being seems to have.
|The largest mosquito you have ever laid eyes on buzzes in front of you. If it weren't for the intelligence behind its bloodthirsty eyes, you would have been long gone.
 


A scrawny body with almost naked skin, covered with warts and patches of thin fur, is a sight that would evoke pity more than anything else. You change your mind upon observing the creature more closely. The mouth is full of thin, sharp teeth and it looks ready to jump at you.
Gallinipper flies around the clearing, peering into tree holes as if on the hunt for a tasty meal. It stops to listen occasionally, jabbing its long beak into the holes as it attempts to snag a catch. The prey are lucky and it is unsuccessful...for now.
|"You are here for a reason. Want to sort something out for me or not?"
|"Hey there blood-bag, not afraid of me, are you? You do smell good, I must admit...but still you're more useful alive. For now that is. Time to get to work."
|Second day flavor text
|You've always wondered how mosquitoes sleep, and at least in this case, it appears to rest like any other bug with its wings folded and body low to the ground. It's too big to fit in any of the trees, so it simply rests on the bed of pine needles. A beady eye flicks open as you approach.|"Eat something delicious today? I can smell it all over you...mmm. What I wouldn't give for a taste. But we have other matters to attend to."

|Ghostly Black Dog
|[[File:bloodybones.png]]
|[[File:ghostlyblackdog.png]]
|You can't believe that something that looks like a rotting carcass can even be alive, let alone deadly, but your gut tells you to be careful.
|A mysterious, elusive shape surrounded by a thick, smoke-like substance walks slowly a short distance away. It looks like a dog, but with such a ghostly nature, it could be anything.
 


While the skinny, distorted body of the creature looks weak, its lidless eyes embedded in a skull-like face are glowing with bloodthirst. If your worst thoughts could take a form, they would look like this abomination. When it focuses its gaze on you, you start to feel anxious.
Because of this strange smoke, you expect a half-transparent, barely materialized being. However, the muscular body of the dark dog appears surprisingly solid. It rushes at you with a beastly growl but you decide to stand your ground.
|"Done admiring me? Follow my orders and I may let you live a little longer."
|"This is my territory now. Get out of my sight if you're not willing to follow my rules."
|Second day flavor text
|The long, pointed ears of the beast turn toward your direction when you arrive, but the creature is resting calmly, barely even looking at you. Such a sudden change in behavior is a clear sign that you are on the same side. At least for now.|"You didn't fail last time, surprisingly. Take it as a compliment if you want. Are you ready for another task?"
|Second day quest text

|Bloody Mary
|Gillygaloo
|[[File:bloodymary.png]]
|[[File:gillygaloo.png]]
|A blood-spattered figure steps out of a ghostly mirror. Where did the mirror come from?
|To your surprise, a rather normal-looking bird peers at you from a low hanging branch. It lands with a squawk and observes you with a keen eye.
 


Bloody Mary looks at herself in the mirror, admiring her appearance. Or was she seeing visions? You move closer, but she turns and blocks your gaze from the mirror.
The Gillygoo is sitting rather painfully over a freshly dug hole. It looks to be in great distress, and lets out a horrifying screech–followed by joy. An egg lays in the hole, but it's unlike any egg you've ever seen. Instead of being round, it's square! After a quick once over, the bird fixes you with a stare.
|"The future spoke to me and told me you were coming. I've prepared some special tasks just for you."
|"Well met, wolf. Your kind are all over this place. The more paws the better. Are you willing to assist me?"
|The mirror stands alone, with no sign of the woman. You inspect all around it, but she is nowhere to be found. As you sniff the air, a hand reaches out from the mirror and taps you on your back. With a yelp you leap into the air, and you hear laughter coming from the mirror.
|With great care, the Gillygaloo is covering the egg with piles of snow. How strange! Birds always sat on them to keep them warm. Clearly this is no ordinary bird. Looking satisfied, it turns at your approach.|"You've returned I see. I'm glad you've decided to put your paws to good use once again. Let's get on with it."
|"Welcome back, future wolf. I still have need of you."
|"My eggs need shade. Could you bring me '''5 x large leaves'''? I'll use them to keep the eggs covered and cool."|• Give 5x Large Leaf|"I can see so much when I'm in the sky. There are so many in need of help. Go and aid '''2 x distressed animals in explore'''. For now it will have to be enough."|• Help 2x distressed animals in explore|"Do you know what ruffles my feathers? Everything, really. So that means Merged and Independent alike are a nuisance.

|Bogeyman
|Glawackus
|[[File:bogeyman.png]]
|[[File:glawackus.png]]
|A fur-less, upright being that's closer to a skeleton than a man shrieks at you and reveals a maw of razor sharp teeth. A long finger gestures at you to come closer.
|A bulky, maned creature blocks your path. It lets out a growl and shows its long, sharp canines, glaring you down.
 


The monster paces around with an uneven, hunched gait with a shadowy substance pouring off of it. It has no smell and seems to dissipate into the air, but your stomach lurches uneasily. It turns and stares you down with its mouth gaping wide and gnashing as if it would like to eat you for lunch.
The creature paces menacingly back and forth, never taking its eyes off of you. It seems defensive, but considering the size difference, you're surprised that it even considers you a threat. You try to step closer but it lets out a roar in warning.
|"Who're you, furry? You're warm...you mortals move so easily. Help me or I'll decide that you're a nice, tasty snack."
|"What do you want? Stay over there. I don't like outsiders. Hmm...you could be useful, though. Up to the task?"
|Second day flavor text
|Glawackus hasn't noticed you as you quietly approach. It's laying in a patch of sunlight and for once it looks rather peaceful. Its eyes are closed and it rumbles from time to time as if in contentment. Your presence is soon noticed, and the creature is on its paws with its hair bristled. So testy!|"Back again, eh? Fine then, let's get on with it."
|"Back for more I see. Either you're daft or you're very daft. Doesn't matter which to me, just do as I ask."
|"I'm a fierce fighter, but I'm not stupid. Everyone gets injured sooner or later, and I'm no different. Bring me '''2 x healing salves''' so that I'm prepared when I take on those blasted Kinfolk."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"You're certainly not as skilled as a feline when it comes to hunting, but I suppose you get the job done. I want to see how you manage to take down prey. Don't worry, I'll make it easy: completing '''3 hunts''' will give me plenty of time to assess your abilities."|• Complete 3x hunts|"You said you wanted to be useful, so here's how it's done: fight some of those nasty Kinfolk for me. In particular, one species is especially deserving of a good pummeling. Defeat '''1 x ____'''. That should get the message across."|• Defeat 1x local Kinfolk cryptid (randomized): Flatwoods Monster, Ozark Howler, Teakettler|"Alright, fair enough, you were useful. I still don't like you.

|Goat Sucker
|[[File:buntail.png]]
|[[File:goatsucker.png]]
|You really can't decide if this strange creature is a big rabbit or a really small deer. Paws and hooves together are so confusing that you can't stop staring.
|A sickly-green creature with bulging red eyes meets your gaze intensely. You can hear a faint clicking noise, and realise it's the long, curved claws scraping the ground.
 


Frozen in fear, ready to dart away, it checks all avenues of escape. Finally, it risks looking straight into your eyes. You find the small antlers on its head quite fascinating and you take one step towards it to check them out. To your surprise, the creature doesn't dart away.
This thing resembles a dog probably as much as you do. Similar features, but very distinct. It walks as if crippled, hunched over and swaying back and forth. Its tongue snakes between long fangs, and it sniffs the air aggressively. Its eyes never leave yours.
|"You could eat me if you wanted, but if you are concerned about the current situation, you could help me instead."
|"There's a lot of you mongrels sniffing around here. Make yourself useful, would you?"
|Second day flavor text
|Goat Sucker is living up to its name: it's hunched over a dead animal, feasting...but not like you eat prey. It appears to be sucking the blood straight from the animal, and you recoil at the sound that it makes. The creature turns and faces you with a bloody-fanged smile.|"You're back, and so soon? You're dumber than you look. No matter, I have another task for you."
|"Trusting you was the right decision, really. Will you consider taking another task? There's much to do."
|"Sadly I'm not invincible. I know, I know, shocking! Time to take your lazy mongrel arse and get me '''2 x healing salves'''. Make sure they actually work, too. I don't have time for useless medicine!"|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"I can't seem to find any decent prey around here, and I need a constant supply of blood. How do you expect me to keep on living if I don't get enough? I'll shrivel up like a dead leaf. Bring me '''3 x full use carcasses'''. That should do for now. Hurry up, would you? I can't wait all day."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"The Kinfolk are interrupting my feasting. They warn animals that I'm nearby, and then what's left for me to eat? Nothing, I tell you! Those bastards. Go defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' before I get too parched."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"You took too long. Be quicker next time.

|Cactus Cat
|Goatman
|[[File:cactuscat.png]]
|[[File:goatman.png]]
|The creature in front of you is definitely one of the weirdest beings you've ever seen. It would be a feline resembling a bobcat if not for the long, sharp thorns covering its body and branching tail swishing slowly from side to side. Flowers also bloom on its body.
|Not only does this dark, horned being look like a demon but you're also completely certain that it is one. As if its appearance wasn't enough, it's carrying a used–but clearly still sharp–axe with visible stains of dried blood.
 


You're careful not to go too close to the weird thorns on its body, but the feline's attitude seems friendly. It's circling you in turn, keeping a safe distance from you as well. Despite its odd looks, you don't feel uneasy. It feels as if the creature has already adapted to this place.
A self-confident smirk of the black Goatman sends a chill down your spine. You wouldn't be surprised if when you let it out of your sight, it would go terrorize the area. The creature starts approaching you, tightening the grip on its axe and clearly enjoying the fear in your eyes.
|"Don't be afraid. If I wanted to hurt you, I would have already done so."
|"You there! You're not going anywhere unless I let you go. Complete some tasks for me first. Or maybe you'd like to be eaten on the spot?"
|Second day flavor text
|You hear the Goatman's steps just before it emerges from the thick bushes. It is probably a cover for a path to its lair and you don't want to check if it is true or not, expecting a bloody mess. The monster's hands are empty this time, which calms you down only a little bit and you still try to keep a distance. Just in case.|"I was sure that you'd try to run away but you came back. You're either very brave or very stupid but useful in both cases. Don't relax yet, you're still not free to go. There's more to do."
|"You seem to be cut out for this job. Your help may change a lot. I've got another quest for you when you're ready."
|"I've seen some unwanted intruders around my territory lately. Go and defeat '''1 x Blacktailed Buck''' as soon as you can. I hope that it will warn the rest not to cross the line."|• Defeat 1x Blacktailed Buck|"The fewer Kinfolk in this world, the better. Their existence is an insult and you will deal with them in my name. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' and come back to tell me about it. I want to know every detail."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"I like how you serve me. I need someone like you to stay here and help me with all the minor everyday tasks. Even such a simple mind as yours will see the benefits of it, sooner or later. All of the sudden changes have had an impact on the creatures living here. They're scared, so they likely won't oppose me and my offer. Find someone in distress and convince them to serve me."|• Find the trapped wolf in the Riparian Woodland|"All right, this job is done. I'll let you live for another day. Get out of my sight now but come back tomorrow or else I'll find you and I won't be nice about it."
|• Complete 1x scouting mission<br>

|[[File:cadborosaurus.png]]
|[[File:goldenbear.png]]
|The elegant, slippery creature before you resembles an elongated seal. It blinks its expressionless blue eyes and you try to ascertain if it's friendly.
|This is probably the largest bear you've ever seen. Its shiny, golden fur makes the creature appear as if it is glowing and captures your attention.
 


Seals could be food, but you doubt this creature would even let you get close. It's much larger than a seal and would likely require an entire wolf pack to take down. It shifts on the ice and whips its heavy, likely deadly tail across the frozen ground pointedly as it assesses you.
It is quite unusual to feel at ease around bears, but you don't experience any fear or tension as you approach. The bear towers over you, and its thick fur makes it look even bigger, but there's something calm about it that lets you trust it.
|"I'll not be your prey, little wolf. I doubt you could even get close. I'll give you something better if you help me with something. Deal?"
|"If you care about this land, please help me. You won't regret it."
|Second day flavor text
|You can feel the stare focused on you even before you reach the bear's lair. The creature nods slightly as you arrive. While its attitude is very friendly, you know that its expectations are high.|"Each finished task takes us closer to the goal. You'll see the results soon but not yet. There is still work to do."
|"Not had your fill yet, hmm? Very well, I have more for you to do."
|"I plan to stay here to observe your progress. It's a nice area. When it's all over... I may settle here for good. Bring me '''2 x nesting material''' so I can start building my place."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"The chaos itself is a problem, but we need to do something about those who have already been harmed by it. If you could help '''2 x distressed animals in explore''', it would help to restore some hope."|• Help 2x distressed animals|"Bringing the harmony back won't be easy but the first step is getting rid of these Merged pests. One of them is living nearby so it's a good place to start. Defeat '''1 x Rawhead''' and don't show any mercy."|• Defeat 1x Rawhead|"I admit that you're a great help.

|Cajun Sasquatch
|Goofus Bird
|[[File:cajunsasquatch.png]]
|[[File:goofusbird.png]]
|A shaggy, long-armed creature is dangling from a low-hanging vine. It tilts its head at you in a playful way.
|Birds come in all sizes and shapes, so there is nothing weird about this one at first. However, when it starts to move, there is definitely something different about this creature.
 


You stare at the creature and it stares right back. You want to look away, but the staring contest ensuing is too intense to resist. Who will win? Will the creature blink first? You feel something slimy go over your feet and jump back in surprise. A vine...which the creature surely could not have commanded to trip you and break your stare, right?
You need a while to understand the movement of this peculiar bird. It seems to fly only backward and is generally uninterested in reaching any particular destination. When the bird notices you, it stops for a while to take a closer look.
|"You lasted longer than most! But my stare is unmatched. Come, I have a task for you."
|"Hi there! I know I'm interesting, but instead of just standing there, you could come closer and engage in something useful. Do we have a deal?"
|Second day flavor text
|When you get used to the strange behavior of this bird, you notice something else that surprises you even more. Its nest would appear normal if it wasn't built upside down. You're convinced you've seen everything at this point.|"If you came back, it means you're not bored yet. That's good because I will need you again."
|Second day quest text
|"I should have chosen another place or different materials. Look, my nest is falling apart! I think I can repair it, but I will need '''2 x nesting material'''.

Come back when you finish the task."|• Help 2x distressed animals|"I don't have to see any of the Merged creatures to feel their vile influence. They are a disease of this world, and I mean that literally. Defeat '''2 x of the Merged cryptids''' for me. It's not much compared to their overall numbers, but we have to start somewhere."|• Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids|"Excellent job! I look... forward to seeing you tomorrow."

|Celofay
|Grassman
|[[File:celofay.png]]
|[[File:grassman.png]]
|Amber eyes in a silvery face blink at you from the tall grass. The tufted, pointed ears remind you of a lynx.
|Kind eyes in a round, shaggy face meet yours, and you feel instantly at ease. The creature raises a human-like hand in greeting.
 


This cat is larger than a lynx when you look closer, and they are wiry, almost gaunt. The feline waves its long tail in greeting, then throws its head back and lets out a screeching cry. Your head feels fuzzy, and for a moment you forget where you are. It fades after a moment and you are left confused.
It has a familiar presence, almost as if you've seen it before. Such a big, hulking beast would be hard to miss, but you're certain that you've never laid eyes on it before. Perhaps the fact that it seems so welcoming has tricked your brain. It sits peacefully in a nest in the grass and offers you a grub wriggling between its fingers.
|"Company at last! I knew my song would bring someone to me. Did you like it? Anyway, I need your help! Don't worry, you'll be rewarded for your time."
|"Hello there! Would you like a grub? I just found some. Oh, but you probably don't like them...not many do. While you're here, would you like to help me with something?"
|Celofay is crouched low, staring at something in the long grass. An odd sound comes from its mouth, different from any sound it has made before, and it stops abruptly before another follows it. Was it calling something? You see a small rodent stumble toward the cat's paws, and it quickly dispatches it.
|Grassman is nowhere to be seen. Your nose tells you it is here, but where? You suddenly see movement, and the creature stirs from where it was sitting very still among the tall stems. It blends right into the grass! Maybe that's how it moves about without being seen.|"You're back, fuzzy friend! It's good to see you. Are you ready for the next task?"
|"My song is usually enough to scare most away after the first time, but you're brave, aren't you? Ready for the next task?"
|"I need something to keep my supplies safe and hidden. I think '''5 x large leaves''' would be perfect. I can wrap things up and tuck them away. Will you find some for me?"|• Give 5x Large Leaf|"I'm no fighter. I'd rather care for others, even though it's inconvenient during such tumultuous times. I need to increase my stock of healing salves to provide to my fellow Kinfolk. Would you help me? Bring me '''2 x healing salves''' for now."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"These poor, poor creatures! I can hear them crying out for help from miles away. Please, go and help them! There's at least a few that are close by. Help '''2 x distressed animals in explore''' for me."|• Help 2x distressed animals in explore|"Wonderful, you've done well. Come back tomorrow if you want to assist me more."

|Champ
|Gumberoo
|[[File:champ.png]]
|[[File:gumberoo.png]]
|Shimmering blue scales draw your gaze to this serpentine creature. Its nostrils flare and it assesses you curiously.
|A bear looms before you, fearsome and intimidating. In the place of fur, its hide is like thick leather–you doubt anything can pierce it.
 


Despite being landbound, Champ appears quite comfortable as it spreads its length on the bank and soaks up the sun. The blue of its scales seem to shift and change with the river as it flows, and you're sure that once this creature disappears beneath the water, it's untrackable.
Despite its thick skin, it was still a bear. The Gumberoo leans against a tree, scratching its leathery hide on the sharpest bark it can find. When it steps away, a large gaping hole yawns in the tree. So strong!
|"Oh! You're small, aren't you? But I bet you're fast, and time is of the essence. I'm slow on land. Care to help me out?"
|"You there! What are you staring at me for? If you're going to be rude, make yourself useful at least."
|Second day flavor text
|The Gumberoo hunches over, licking its claws. They are stained with blood, and prey scent lingers. You smell wolf, too...surely it hadn't eaten your kind? They blow a downy feather away and with a sigh of relief you realize it had only eaten a bird.|"I bet you're wondering if your teeth could pierce my hide, eh? It can't, so don't even try. Ready for your next task?"
|"You're a good soul to come back. I knew asking you was the right thing to do. Ready for the next task?"
|"A cave doesn't build itself, and I need more materials. Bring me '''5 x large branches''' so I can focus on gathering the other materials needed."|• Give 5x Large Branches|"My hide may look tough, but I still get injured. I need '''2 x healing salves'''."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"You're a skilled hunter, so put those skills to use. Bring me '''3 x full use carcasses'''. I'm not picky about the type."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"You're surprisingly durable, even with that thin skin. Very well, you did good. Come back later and I'll have more for you to do."

|Chupacabra
|Hidebehind
|[[File:chupacabra.png]]
|[[File:hidebehind.png]]
|This grey-green creature looks fierce enough to rip apart anything it pleases. It's not large, but it sure is menacing as it stares you down with its glowing red eyes.
|You feel an ominous presence around you but your senses are unable to fully catch the shape of the dark being. One thing is certain: you are being observed.
 


It paces as you approach, sizing you up. Spikes grow irregularly from its back and a long, snake-like tongue hangs from its mouth and flicks in your direction. It sniffs the air and pulls its tongue back into its mouth, making a smacking motion with its jaws. Is it tasting you?
The heavy feeling doesn't fade with time. You have a sense that the creature, wherever it may be, can either perfectly blend with the environment or perhaps even change shape. If darkness were to take a physical form, it would be this being.
|"You. You there. Come closer. You smell tasty but there are more interesting things out there. Want to join me? You may have fun."
|"Your fear and confusion are amusing but I have a better use for you."
|Second day flavor text
|Even now, when you know what to expect, you still feel uneasy when approaching the creature. You've seen a shadow in the corner of your eye once or twice, but you're not sure if it's your mind tricking you. The one thing you wouldn't mistake for anything else is the voice of the dark being: a hoarse whisper fading into the mountain wind.|"Coming back for more? Of course you are. You don't want to know what would happen if you didn't follow my instructions."
|"I knew you would come again. I have another plan. Want to hear?"
|"I need some materials to hide my lair and to block the way leading to it. You're perfect for such mundane tasks. Bring me '''5 x large rocks''' and leave it here. I will take care of the rest."|• Give 5x Large Rock|"I can be unseen and undetectable, but I won't rush time. I need help in discovering this area, so I need to gather the necessary information as quickly as possible. Go and complete '''1 scouting mission''', and don't waste time along the way."|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"I was starting to have a good time here until these kinfolk vermin started appearing everywhere, trying to mess with my plans. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' and make sure to have witnesses. If they want a war, they will get it."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"Not bad, I must say. But don't be too satisfied; my expectations were low. Come back tomorrow and change my mind with a better performance."

|Creepy Black Hound
|Hodag
|[[File:creepyblackhound.png]]
|[[File:hodag.png]]
|A creature resembling a large dog looks at you in silence. Black as the darkest night, with muscles shining under its short fur, they look as if they are ready to hunt.
|A shaggy, black-furred beast stares menacingly at you, its overgrown fangs dripping with saliva. You can hear a rumbling in its throat.
 


You approach the dog and notice that it's equally interested in your presence, its blood red eyes following your every step. You've never seen a dog so large. It bares its teeth for a brief moment and comes closer with a dominating stare.
You cautiously step toward the beast, taking care to keep an eye on the sharp, curved horns and spikes along its spine. They glint faintly in the low light, clearly razor sharp and deadly. It's probably best to avoid those. One thing is for sure: you don't want to draw its ire.
|"Since you are already here, make yourself useful. It may be beneficial to both of us. I may need your help. Are you in?"
|"You're either brave or stupid to come here. Leave now, or I'll see to it you do as I say."
|Second day flavor text
|As you approach once more, you decide the creature must be some unholy cross between a canine and a bull. It lumbers around the trees, smacking its hardened head against them and raking its horns to create deep gouges in the bark. It snorts and turns to face you, its tail lashing wildly.|"Back for more? Fine with me."
|Second day quest text

|Cressie
|Hoop Snake
|[[File:cressie.png]]
|[[File:hoopsnake.png]]
|You stumble upon a scaly snake-like creature. It stretches tall and observes you with its cool blue gaze.
|You wouldn't believe it if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes. This snake is biting its tail with its jaws to roll forward!
 


It may be related to a snake, but you're sure this isn't any species you've ever seen. It has a head like a fish, with whiskers hanging from its lips, fins, and gills. How was it breathing outside of the water? Although surely since it wasn't a normal sort of creature it didn't matter, right? Its mouth gapes and it peers at you.
The creature notices you and releases its tail from its mouth, appearing much more familiar as it moves around like any other snake. Even without its strange movement, there is still something extraordinary about this being. You can definitely feel it.
|"You, landwalker! You seem capable. Mind helping me out?"
|"I wasn't expecting anyone, but since you're here, you can do something good for us both."
|Second day flavor text
|The snake, using its special way of moving again, rolls towards you, and there is no doubt that it's an efficient and fast way not only to move but also to hunt—assuming it doesn't suffer from a headache, of course.|"I already see the effects of your efforts. Don't stop and this chaos should be over soon."
|"Back to help again? Fine by me!"
|"I need some supplies, but not only for my own use. Believe it or not, but I sometimes share my stock with animals in need. This is the least I can do. Bring me '''2 x healing salves''', so I can be ready for tough times."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"My lair is well hidden, and I won't share where it is. Unfortunately, the materials are scarce, and it's still not in the best shape. Bring me '''2 x nesting material''', and I will finally be able to complete it."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"I live in this remote area, but it doesn't mean that I'm unaware of all the disasters taking place lately. I blame the Merged for most of it, and I think you could help me with something. Defeat '''2 x of the Merged cryptids''' and I'm sure you will notice a change for the better."|• Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids|"Perfect. I wouldn't be able to do it as quickly as I'd like. Having no limbs has its downside, you see. Come back soon for another task."

|[[File:darkwatchers.png]]

|Dark, human-shaped silhouettes observe you motionlessly from a distance. You don't see humans often but these figures look taller and more intimidating with their piercing gaze.
|You hear snarling before a shaggy, horned beast with claws comes out of the shadows. It continues to snarl angrily and you're hesitant to move closer.
 


The couple stands still but you notice that it's impossible to approach them or take a closer look. No matter how much you try to focus, you can't point out any clear detail of their faces. Suddenly, you hear their voice, a perfect unison, in your head.
It's a wonder this beast can walk at all. Its claws are so overgrown and curled that it has a funny gait as it moves around. They look deathly sharp, however, and you decide you don't want to test just how sharp they are. As if sensing your fear, the beast rakes them across the ground, leaving deep gouges in the earth and daring you to come closer.
|"The time for keeping to yourself is over. If you help us, we may be able to stop this madness together."
|"Endless pestering, that's my reward for coming to this cursed place. No one will leave me alone! I suppose you want to "help" me too? Fine then."
|Second day flavor text
|The Horned Beast seems to be angry at every turn. It stomps around, tossing branches with its long horns and kicking up rocks. It has scared off every animal within a mile, and if it wanted to be alone, it was definitely succeeding. It hears you and turns with a snarl.|"I should have known you'd be back. Give a dog a bone, as they say. Let's be on with it, then."
|"We're glad to see you again. Your help is really appreciated. It's time for you to carry out another task."
|"I need to keep my claws sharp. Go find me '''5 x large rocks'''. Make sure they're rough and have lots of sharp edges; I can't use smooth ones."|• Give 5x Large Rock|"Go do something useful for a while instead of bothering me. Complete '''3 hunts''' and take your time. I could go a few hours without seeing your ugly mug."|• Complete 3x hunts|"Go fight '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' for me. That's it, that's the task, I don't really have a reason other than I feel like making you do my dirty work."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"Acceptable. I don't want to say come back tomorrow, but well, you're going to come back anyway, so I'll deal with you then."

|Dewey Lake Monster
|Hugag
|[[File:deweylakemonster.png]]
|[[File:hugag.png]]
|Shaggy hair flops in front of glowing eyes, and a large ape-like creature rises to its feet in front of you. The eyes are kind, and you sense no malice from the creature.
|At first, you nearly mistake this creature for a moose; but this is no ordinary mammal. The jointless legs appear to limit the creature's movements, and its unusual muzzle looks like it would be hard to eat anything with.
 


Moving from tree to tree, the creature seems to be inspecting the health of each. Gently touching leaves, sniffing the bark, and feeling the soil around the roots. The care it shows to the land is admirable.
The stiff movements of the creature make you realize what an easy target it would be for any hungry wolf here. It must possess some hidden power that keeps potential danger away. Its long lip moves slightly, but you don't know if it's an attempt to smile or a grimace of dislike.
|"Hello there, fellow traveler. If you aren't too busy looking after your pack, would you help me? The situation in the world is grave."
|"Do not disturb me and go back to where you came from. Unless... unless you agree to help me, then you may stay."
|The Dewey Lake Monster has found some wild strawberries and is eagerly consuming them. Red sticky juice coats their fingers and dribbles down their chin into their hair. When it sees you, it holds one up in offering.
|The stiff-legged silhouette blends rather well with the surrounding trees and it's not easy to find it. You realize that the creature is unable to lie down but it somehow manages to survive just fine standing up, which is definitely a thing to admire.|"Ready to do something else? The sooner we finish, the better. I like my own company over you nosy wolves."
|"It's good to see you, friend-wolf! I'm glad you're back. Tell me when you're ready and I'll give you another task."
|"It's not easy to confess, but you may have noticed that I have some trouble with eating. However, there are things that are easier to consume. Bringing me '''5 x large leaves''' would actually save me a lot of time."|• Give 5x Large Leaf|"I may need some more supplies soon. I still have some but you're definitely faster than me so use your flexible legs to bring me '''2 x healing salves'''."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"I think you can see that for yourself that I'm not shaped to travel around as freely as you. Knowing the area would help a lot so complete '''1 scouting mission''' and come back to share the details."|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"That's it. We're done for today.

|Dover Demon
|Jackalope
|[[File:doverdemon.png]]
|[[File:jackalope.png]]
|A long-fingered creature that stands on all fours assesses you with a sniff. Judgmental eyes follow your every move.
|A beautiful rack of horns is attached to a majestic...rabbit? It sits back on its haunches and wiggles its nose furiously, taking in your scent.
 


When you look at the demon, you're reminded of a dog. But the body is too awkward, and those paws...were they even paws? They were longer than your own, and bent in odd ways. The creature curls them into the dirt and fixes you with a hard stare.
You have never seen horns on anything other than a deer, and you openly stare at the small creature before you. It's larger than most rabbits, sure, but its tiny head doesn't look nearly sturdy enough to hold the weight of the horns. It lowers its head toward you and places itself in a defensive stance, eyeing you warily.
|"Done staring yet? If so I've got a quest for you. Are you up for it?"
|"Well met, wolf. I don't want any trouble. I need help, but only if you'll promise not to eat me. Sound like a deal?"
|Second day flavor text
|The Jackalope is digging furiously, carving out a hole for itself in the roots of a nearby tree. It's the biggest rabbit hole you've come across, and it could actually fit wolf pups quite comfortably. You reason it needed extra room for those horns. Your approach doesn't go unnoticed, and the funny creature ceases its home-making for now.|"You're back! You haven't eaten me yet, either. I guess I'm in luck for now. Fancy another task?"
|"The ogler has returned! You're not so bad, I suppose. Ready for the next task?"
|"I need to fortify my den and make a barrier around it so that I have some line of defense. I think branches will do nicely. Find me '''5 x large branches'''."|• Give 5x Large Branch|"If I'm to make a home here, I need nesting materials. It's far too dangerous for me to go and find any myself though, what with all of those Merged skulking around. This will be your first task. Bring me '''2 x nesting material'''."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"My babies keep wandering off, no matter how many times I tell them that they need to stay close! I'm so worried something has happened to them. Can you see if you can find them and bring them home? They look like normal rabbits right now since they're too young to have their horns yet. Please find them!"|• Find the distressed rabbits in the Prairie|"Well done I say! I appreciate your help. Come back tomorrow, I'll have more for you to do then."
|• Defeat 1x American Badger<br>
• Defeat 1x Cougar<br>
• Defeat 1x Mustang Stallion<br>

|Dungavenhooter
|Jersey Devil
|[[File:dungavenhooter.png]]
|[[File:jerseydevil.png]]
|You don't notice anything strange about this creature at first. In fact, it looks like a normal alligator before you see that its jaws are completely shut closed by skin.
|The huge, dark shadow above your head is too big to be a bird. Or maybe it's a bat? You take another look, observing the creature as it lands nearby. No...it's a large, winged goat with an ominous shine in its red eyes.
 


The creature notices you as soon as you lay your eyes on it. Even without a visible mouth, it appears as if it is smiling. You can hear its nightmarish voice directly in your head. Normally an alligator would not pose much threat as long as you stayed far away, but this one is truly unsettling.
The goat monster folds its wings on its back, lowering its head when it notices you. A long tail, swaying slowly from side to side, resembles a snake ready to attack and you are almost sure that you catch a malicious smirk on the creature's muzzle. It can fly so it's pointless to try to escape now.
|"Let's make a deal. Work for me for a while, and I won't cause any problems during your journey. Sound like a deal?"
|"You will serve me. It's not a question or an offer. Just do what you are told if you want to see the next sunrise."
|In the murky waters of the swamp, the dark, scaly body of the creature is hard to notice, even when you know where to look. It sees itself as the king of this area, so you have to wait for it to come to you, not the other way around.
|If pure evil has a physical form, the Jersey Devil is it. The shiny, strong and somewhat elegant creature is resting in the shadows, where only the red glow of its eyes is visible. It spreads its wings when you approach, appearing to show them off. Its pride is as big as its greed and hunger.|"It's a pleasant sight when a lesser creature is working for me. Continue, there's a lot to do."
|"So, how did it go? Don't talk about your feelings or other unnecessary stuff. I want the results. Speaking of which... I will need you again soon. Are you ready for that?"
|"I need a lot of meat every day. If you don't want to be my next meal, bring me something to eat. '''3 x full use carcasses''' would be perfect. Don't you dare bring anything less than that."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"If you're as strong as you claim to be, I would love to see the proof. Defeat '''1 x Grizzly Bear''' and entertain me with your fighting style. Fresh blood excites me. If you do well, it will prove that your kind can be considered a formidable opponent."|• Defeat 1x Grizzly Bear|"I can feel the filth of the Kinfolk even here. With your help we'll be able to get them dealt with in no time. Go and get rid of '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids'''. You must kill them. I don't care as long as they leave my territory."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"You're clumsy and slow but the work is done so I'll let you live for another day. Come back for another task later."
|• Defeat 1x Wild Boar OR Frenzied Razorback<br>
• Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids<br>
• Give 3 items (could be 1-use food, turtle shell, or tortoise shell)

|Enfield Monster
|Joint Snake
|[[File:enfieldmonster.png]]
|[[File:jointsnake.png]]
|You're not quite sure what to make of the bug-eyed, hunched, three-hooved creature in front of you. It's not exactly aggressive, but it's not very pleasant, either.
|A snake lays in pieces in front of you. Before your very eyes it twitches and snaps itself back together. Whoa!
 


The way the creature walks is almost like an insect, with each leg moving independently of the others. It flicks its funny little ears and scratches them with its long claws with a grumble. As it shuffles around, it seems to be muttering to itself and barely acknowledges your presence.
When whole, the Joint Snake moves just as any other snake. Its movement is familiar, and you're not as bothered by its presence. It flicks the tip of its tail at you and you jump back as the piece hits your paws. A slithery laugh escapes from the snake as the tail snaps back into place.
|"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy? I have so much to do...but maybe you can help. Wanna give it a go?"
|"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it before. How am I not dead? It's a perk of being me. Now then, since you're here, I need your help."
|You're not sure how it's managing it, but the Enfield Monster is sitting in the long grass, different weeds and flowers clutched in its claws. It sniffs each in turn before stuffing it in its mouth and chewing, only to spit it right back out. Did it think they were food?
|You watch as the snake spots some small prey. In the blink of an eye, it releases its head which shoots out to bite down on the prey fiercely before snapping back to the snake. Efficient...even if it's a bit morbid.|"Oh good, you don't look as dumb as before. That will come in handy. Let's get started."
|"The busy-body is back! I guess you like my gifts in return for your service, hmm? I have more to offer. Ready for today's task?"
|"I need something to burrow down in. '''2 x nesting material''' should be suitable for my needs."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"Hunting is too much work. Bring me '''3 x ____''' so that I can feast."|• Give 3x local critter carcasses*| "Show me how you hunt so I can determine what way is more efficient: yours or mine. Complete '''2 hunts'''."|• Complete 2x hunts|"Well done. I see you're not as dumb as I thought. For now, at least."|* Exact required carcasses will be randomized between Hare Carcass and Quail Carcass
|• Complete 1x scouting mission<br>
• Defeat x1 Elk Bull<br>
• Give 5x Large Leaves<br>

|[[File:kipsy.png]]
|The huge shadowy creature in front of you resembles a dog, but as you look closer, you notice its distorted features and unkempt, messy fur. This is no ordinary dog.
|The movement in the muddy water is promising and you hope to catch a tasty fish, but instead a large, snake-like monster emerges in front of you.
 


The eyes of the creature are glowing with fiery, malevolent light like the last two stars in a dark sky. While the monster looks canine, you notice that it has hooves instead of paws. It shows you its mouth full of sharp, jagged teeth in a twisted smile.
While the monster is huge and intimidating, it's unlikely that it can chase you outside the water which is relieving and makes you feel braver. The creature lowers its head to take a closer look at you. It still hasn't said a word but you can already tell that this meeting wasn't a coincidence. The creature definitely has a reason to reveal itself in such a way.
|"I believe you are smart enough to know that coming here means that you will serve me. Let's get on with it, shall we?"
|"Ah, another one. Good. Maybe you'll do better. I need some tasks done and you are definitely faster than me on the ground. Will you help me?"
|The creature awaits you in silence, focused on your movement as if it's ready to kill you on the spot. Even now, when you're more familiar with its appearance, your fur prickles with tension and anxiety.
|You can spot the monster's long neck from afar. It's expecting you and doesn't bother to hide or mask its presence in any way. This alone tells you that however indifferent it may sound, it has its own plans for these unusual events that probably won't be shared.|"There is still some work to do but if we keep this pace, we'll be done soon. Ready for the next task?"
|"Come for the next task? I'm glad to see you obeying me and following my rules."
|"Until now, I thought that I wouldn't need so many healing materials but the situation in this area is getting more and more unpredictable. I suppose that it's no different anywhere else. We must survive somehow. Bring me '''2 x healing salves''' as fast as you can."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"I have to fight with various enemies quite often but The Merged are the worst among them. If you defeat '''2 x of the Merged cryptids''' it will be beneficial for everyone."|• Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids|"I need you to retrieve something. Someone stole my food and I'm fuming with anger. It wasn't too long ago so the thief can't be far. You can't miss it, it's a really large fish. A dead sturgeon to be specific."|• Find the dead sturgeon in the Riparian Woodland|"I hardly ever need anyone to assist me but this was a good decision. That's all for today, you may leave. Come back tomorrow if you're still interested."
|• Defeat 1x Nagual<br>
• Give 3x carcasses<br>

|Knocker
|[[File:flatwoodsmonster.png]]
|[[File:knocker.png]]
|You are about to rest under an odd-shaped tree when you notice it has eyes and is staring at you with curiosity. This creature's camouflage is close to perfection and almost gives you a heart attack.
|The tiny creature you stumble upon somewhat resembles a bat but it is wingless and apparently lives underground as it pops its head out of a burrow.
 


The more you observe this creature, the more questions you have. Even now, this being still resembles a tree with its elongated, thin, branch-like arms and green, mossy coat. Only the face looks somewhat familiar, resembling an owl with crimson eyes. Even if it's completely harmless, you feel an unpleasant tingling sensation under your skin.
The long armed being sits nearby, looking for something with its creepy fingers that resemble thin spider legs. It still hasn't noticed you despite its large ears. You make the first step, lowering your head a bit. It doesn't seem to be afraid, which makes you wonder what hidden skills it may have.
|"What's wrong with your kind, pup? You're another one wanting to rest here or to mark me. Will you be useful for once? I need help."
|"Good timing! I need some help. I hope that you don't have anything else to do."
|Second day flavor text
|You can't spot the Knocker anywhere at first, but it sticks its head out of the burrow as soon as you start to look around. It seems that the creature spends most of its time underground, coming out mostly to see you. It seems that it just wants to settle here without causing any problem or even leaving any sign of its existence.|"You completed the last task so quickly that I can't help but ask for your assistance again. Are you up for it?"
|"I'm glad we made this deal. You're much faster, it would take me forever. Are you interested in more tasks? You'll finish it in no time, undoubtedly."
|"I thought that this place would be perfect for my lair, but I have noticed that I have a lot of neighbours and not all of them are welcoming me with open hearts. The stronger my hideout is, the better. Bring me '''5 x large rocks'''."|• Give 5x Large Rock|"Every day brings new calamities and I'm running out of my supplies. If you can bring me '''2 x healing salves''', it would save me a lot of time."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"I think that I will settle down here for good. Not to brag or anything but I'm proud of what I built down there in my den. This burrow is perfect. I would invite you to see my new home but you're probably too big. I need some extra materials if you want to be useful. Bring me '''2 x nesting material'''."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"Just what I needed. Perfect! That's all for today but come back later, I'll have another task for you."

|Extremely long legs, a short torso, and a lack of arms or front paws make this creature's appearance look really alien to you. Only one large eye in the middle of its face captures your attention, and the more you stare at this being the more questions you have.
|Two round eyes as large as your head stare right through you. The creature's tentacled, slimy body shifts over the ice and sends shivers down your spine.
 


You don't think that you can get used to this weird being but you're also curious about it. The creature doesn't seem hostile but you can't tell much by just looking at the featureless face covered with green fur. With a careful step forward, you take a closer look, wondering how to start a conversation when you can't spot its mouth or ears. When you finally hear its voice, you still aren't sure if the creature uses its mouth or some special power.
You've never seen such a large beast; whispers, perhaps, but nothing solid. From the way it's wobbling unsteadily, it's clear it doesn't belong on land. Yet here it is, waving its many tentacles around that make small sucking sounds as they detach and reattach themselves to the ice. It reaches toward you curiously.
|"What are you doing here? You may stay and do what you want if you help me."
|"Hmm, you're not very suited for this icy place, are you? I was hoping for something else. I guess you'll have to do. Help me out?"
|Second day flavor text
|The large sea creature is lying very still, eyes closed and almost melting into the ice. What is it doing? The sun is warm on your back, and you wonder if it likes to sun itself as much as you do. You get closer, and the creature must have heard you because its eyes shoot open and all of the tentacles curl back toward it rapidly. It raises itself to its full size, back on alert.|"Well look who came back to brave the ice! It's not so bad I suppose. Ready for another task?"
|"You're back already? Good. You may leave or help me again. Are you ready for more?"
|"I can't hunt in this blasted, cold place. There's nothing here! How do you wolves survive? Nevermind, I'm too hungry to care. Bring me '''3 x full use carcasses'''."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"Time to really prove your worth. Complete '''3 hunts''' and show me that you can not only feed your pack, but me as well."|• Complete 3x hunts|"The Merged and the Kinfolk are both pesky creatures, but I think I hate one more than the other today.

|As you become accustomed to the peculiar appearance of this creature, it starts to look normal in your eyes. The thing that still shocks you is the creature's ability to speak! This world has indeed gone mad.
 
|"You're back, finally! Will you agree to another task? I may have fur but it takes more time to grow legs so I can't do anything myself yet."
Thick, woolly fur makes the bear look fluffy and you somehow can't imagine it being truly aggressive. However, when you approach the creature, your experience tells you to be ready for anything. The bear raises its head boldly and stares at you, unfazed.
|• Catch one uncommon fish<br>
|"Who are you? Leave me alone. Or...wait. Since you're already here, can you help me with something?"
• Give 2x healing salves<br>
|When you see the bear again, a spark of excitement can be seen in its eyes and its movements are visibly more energetic. Apparently, your help means something. Its energy is contagious, and you feel as though you could take on anything it asked.|"If you have nothing else to do today, I could use some more help."
• Help 3x distressed animals in explore
|"I haven't had time to make this place safe and comfortable for us. Can you bring '''2 x nesting material'''?"|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"I'm afraid that my cub may end up wandering off; they're so curious about everything! I need some toys to keep them entertained. Bring me '''5 x ____'''."|• Give 5x amusement items*|"My child is lost. You probably know this land better than I do. Please bring my cub back to me."|• Find Lava Bear cub in the Desert|"Thanks. I mean it. You saved a lot of my time. Come back tomorarow if you still want to do some work."|* Exact required items will be randomized between Acorn, Blue Jay Feather, Bone, Mollusk Shell, Owl Feather, Owl Talon, Roadrunner Feather, and Skua Feather

|Gallinipper
|Letiche
|[[File:gallinipper.png]]
|[[File:letiche.png]]
|The largest mosquito you have ever laid eyes on buzzes in front of you. If it weren't for the intelligence behind its bloodthirsty eyes, you would have been long gone.
|A large-toothed shaggy creature with large, round ears judges you with its beady eyes. It resembles a large rat, and you've caught its attention.
 


Gallinipper flies around the clearing, peering into tree holes as if on the hunt for a tasty meal. It stops to listen occasionally, jabbing its long beak into the holes as it attempts to snag a catch. The prey are lucky and it is unsuccessful...for now.
Usually snacking on a rat makes for a tasty morsel–but this creature is far too large for you to have a hope of taking it down. The long fangs and sharp, curled claws aren't very inviting, either. It faces you with its lips peeled back over its teeth, letting them glint in the light as it stares you down.
|"Hey there blood-bag, not afraid of me, are you? You do smell good, I must admit...but still you're more useful alive. For now that is. Time to get to work."
|"I saw that look on your face. My teeth are sharp, wolf. Mind yourself and help me with a task, and you'll be rewarded."
|You've always wondered how mosquitoes sleep, and at least in this case, it appears to rest like any other bug with its wings folded and body low to the ground. It's too big to fit in any of the trees, so it simply rests on the bed of pine needles. A beady eye flicks open as you approach.
|The rat-creature is sitting hunched over, tail curled around its body and head bobbing back and forth. You can hear chewing sounds, and you peer around to see what on earth it's eating. A flash of white disappears into its mouth as it turns around to face you with a startled jerk. Was that a bone?|"Greedy mutt, aren't you? Are you here just to help or for the reward? Either way, let's get on with it."
|"Eat something delicious today? I can smell it all over you...mmm. What I wouldn't give for a taste. But we have other matters to attend to."
|"You seem reasonable, and I'm sure you hunt more than you can ever hope to eat. You don't mind sharing, do you? Of course you don't. Would you bring me '''2 x full use carcasses'''? I'm famished."|• Give 2x full-use carcasses|"The smell of fish is overwhelming here. Fish I've never smelled before, either. I want to try some. Go fish up an '''uncommon fish in the fishing game'''."|• Catch 1x uncommon fish|"This area is crawling with boars, and they're such a damn nuisance. Go kill '''1 x Wild Boar''' for me so I don't have to deal with them anymore."|• Defeat 1x Wild Boar|"Yes yes, here's your reward. I know that's all you want. Come back later."
|• Complete 1x scouting mission<br>
• Defeat 1x Walgren Lake Monster<br>
• Give 5x Large Leaves

|Ghostly Black Dog
|Lizard Man
|[[File:ghostlyblackdog.png]]
|[[File:lizardman.png]]
|A mysterious, elusive shape surrounded by a thick, smoke-like substance walks slowly a short distance away. It looks like a dog, but with such a ghostly nature, it could be anything.
|You've seen scaled beasts in the swamp before, but this one stands upright and moves like a man. It hisses through long, sharp teeth.
 


Because of this strange smoke, you expect a half-transparent, barely materialized being. However, the muscular body of the dark dog appears surprisingly solid. It rushes at you with a beastly growl but you decide to stand your ground.
The creature moves with ease through the wet terrain and seems to be looking for something. It makes such a ruckus that if it happens to be looking for something to eat, you know it will never find anything. It stomps around and smacks its long tail on the muddy ground in frustration before glaring at you.
|"This is my territory now. Get out of my sight if you're not willing to follow my rules."
|"You there! I need food, among other things. You will help me, or I'll just eat you instead."
|Second day flavor text
|The Lizard Man has made a mess of the area around you. All of the vegetation has disappeared, and nothing but thick mud sticks to your paws. It's laying quite happily against a tree, covered in it and looking quite pleased with itself. You make a face, and in return the creature hisses and tosses a clump of mud at you.|"Good dog! You returned. I'll reward you again today for your help. Let's get on with it."
|"You didn't fail last time, surprisingly. Take it as a compliment if you want. Are you ready for another task?"
|"This place is dreadfully boring. All of the plant life around here is so damp that it's no fun to rip and tear and destroy. I need something better. Bring me '''5 x large branches''' so I can break them instead of your neck."|• Give 5x Large Branch|"I don't know what it is, but I can't find anything to eat around here. I've looked, and there's nothing. You've witnessed it! Anyway that means you'll have to feed me if you want to stay on my good side. Bring me '''4 x full use carcasses''' and that should satisfy me enough for now."|• Give 4x full-use carcasses|"Fancy some training? I love a good fight. Let me tell you, the best fun is battling Kinfolk and listening to them screech as they're defeated. Music to my ears! Go and try it for yourself. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids'''."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"You've done it already? I should keep you around. I'll have more for you to do later, come back then."
|• Defeat 3x Independent cryptids<br>
• Give 2x carcasses<br>

|Gillygaloo
|Loveland Frog
|[[File:gillygaloo.png]]
|[[File:lovelandfrog.png]]
|To your surprise, a rather normal-looking bird peers at you from a low hanging branch. It lands with a squawk and observes you with a keen eye.
|Big, bulging eyes look back at you from the shadows, and striding out on two legs is...a frog.
 


The Gillygoo is sitting rather painfully over a freshly dug hole. It looks to be in great distress, and lets out a horrifying screech–followed by joy. An egg lays in the hole, but it's unlike any egg you've ever seen. Instead of being round, it's square! After a quick once over, the bird fixes you with a stare.
The frog lets out a big stretch and lowers into a hunched position as it examines you. How is it walking on two legs? Its tongue flicks out and licks an eyeball and it tilts its head. Well, it may walk like a human, but it's definitely a frog.
|"Well met, wolf. Your kind are all over this place. The more paws the better. Are you willing to assist me?"
|"Lose your way, did you? Well, since you just so conveniently happen to be passing through, I could use your paws, if you're willing..."
|With great care, the Gillygaloo is covering the egg with piles of snow. How strange! Birds always sat on them to keep them warm. Clearly this is no ordinary bird. Looking satisfied, it turns at your approach.
|The Loveland Frog is reclined against a tree, legs crossed and arms behind its large head. Its eyes flick back and forth as if watching something, when suddenly–slap. It snatches a bug right out of the air! Eesh...|"You came back! Not that I can blame you, I am rather good company. But enough of that–ready for your next task?"
|You've returned I see. I'm glad you've decided to put your paws to good use once again. Let's get on with it.
|"I need leaves. The ones around here suck and aren't worth a damn thing for doing anything with. Bring me '''5 x large leaves'''."|• Give 5x Large Leaf|"The world revolves around fish. I can never get enough! Catch an '''uncommon fish in the fishing game'''."|• Catch 1x uncommon fish|"Your world is so vast! Send out your scout on '''1 scouting mission''' and tell me of all the wonders that they see."|• Complete 1x scouting missions|"That'll do, that'll do. Come hopping back later, yeah?"
|• Defeat 3x the Merged cryptids<br>
• Help 3x distressed animals in explore<br>
• Give 5x Large Leaves

|Glawackus
|Manipogo
|[[File:glawackus.png]]
|[[File:manipogo.png]]
|A bulky, maned creature blocks your path. It lets out a growl and shows its long, sharp canines, glaring you down.
|The floppy ears and large eyes of this creature create a good, almost kind impression, but your experience tells you to be careful, no matter how harmless the creature's appearance may seem.
 


The creature paces menacingly back and forth, never taking its eyes off of you. It seems defensive, but considering the size difference, you're surprised that it even considers you a threat. You try to step closer but it lets out a roar in warning.
The most familiar shape you could think of is that of a seal, but there is also something canine about this creature. It notices your presence, observing you in silence. You have a feeling that you disturbed its plans.
|"What do you want? Stay over there. I don't like outsiders. Hmm...you could be useful, though. Up to the task?"
|"Are you bored or something? You look like you could be, so come here and listen to me. I have lots of things to do, and you seem to have none. Can you help me?"
|Second day flavor text
|The slender and now familiar shape can be seen among the rocks. The creature is relaxing with its eyes closed and its head turned up to the sky. The faint scent of fish tells you that it has probably just finished its meal.|"Look who's back! I'm almost happy to see you. Almost. It's nothing personal; I don't really like anyone, but you're not that bad. You're still eager to help, right?"
|Second day quest text
|"I already have my lair nearby, but to be honest, it's still unfinished. Call me lazy all you want, but I need your help. Please bring me '''5 x large branches''' so I can finally finish it."|• Give 5x Large Branch|"You know what? I'm hungry but also so tired after the last unsuccessful hunt. I would really appreciate a small, local fish. But not just any fish; it has to be an '''uncommon fish in the fishing game''' one or higher. See if you can catch one fishing."|• Catch 1x uncommon fish|"I thought that this area was safe but I underestimated the wolves here. I don't want to move away so we have to do something about it. Well, you have to, that is. Defeat '''1 x Alaskan Tundra Wolf''' and it will make my life a bit easier."|• Defeat 1x Alaskan Tundra Wolf|"Let's call it a day, we both need to rest. Don't forget to come back tomorrow!"
|• Complete 3x hunts<br>

|A sickly-green creature with bulging red eyes meets your gaze intensely. You can hear a faint clicking noise, and realise it's the long, curved claws scraping the ground.
|Despite having a clearly canine muzzle, the posture of this creature is more ape-like, especially when you see it walking on two legs.
 


This thing resembles a dog probably as much as you do. Similar features, but very distinct. It walks as if crippled, hunched over and swaying back and forth. Its tongue snakes between long fangs, and it sniffs the air aggressively. Its eyes never leave yours.
You can't deny that in such an open area this strange being could be a threat to many animals, and you wouldn't like to have it as your foe. The blue glow of its eyes seems emotionless and cold but when the creature approaches you, you don't feel hostility. As it comes closer to sniff you, it starts walking using four limbs again.
|"There's a lot of you mongrels sniffing around here. Make yourself useful, would you?"
|"It still feels calm around. If you help me, we can try to prevent the worst from happening."
|Second day flavor text
|Upon your return, you see the Dogman walking through the grass and patrolling its territory. When it notices you, it starts walking on four legs again, probably to appear more familiar to you. It works somehow, and you feel less awkward in its presence but the long fingers of its front paws are still creepy.|"We have more in common than you think. Will you keep helping me?"
|"You're back, and so soon? You're dumber than you look. No matter, I have another task for you."
|"Better times will surely come one day but we have to be prepared for the worst. Bring me '''2 x healing salves'''. I keep this stuff in a safe place and I advise you to do the same. It's easy to obtain now but you never know what will happen tomorrow."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"This chaos around can affect even the strongest creatures. I see that you cope with all of these changes rather well and it's our responsibility to try to bring the stability back. Lots of animals are lost, trapped, or in distress. Help '''2 x distressed animals in explore''' and come back to tell me about everything you witnessed."|• Help 2x distressed animals|"You will face a lot of challenges from now on. Are you prepared for any opponent? Maybe train a little more. Defeat '''2 x of the Merged cryptids'''."|• Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids|"Having you around is truly working.

|Not only does this dark, horned being look like a demon but you're also completely certain that it is one. As if its appearance wasn't enough, it's carrying a used–but clearly still sharp–axe with visible stains of dried blood.
|An imposing lizard that looks similar to a monitor lizard blocks your way. It's larger than any lizard you've seen before, and could eat you whole.
 


A self-confident smirk of the black Goatman sends a chill down your spine. You wouldn't be surprised if when you let it out of your sight, it would go terrorize the area. The creature starts approaching you, tightening the grip on its axe and clearly enjoying the fear in your eyes.
Lumbering around without a care in the world, the lizard flattens the grass wherever it goes, causing small prey to flee. It pays them no mind, instead opting to trample the grass in random patterns and smush anthills purely for fun.
|"You there! You're not going anywhere unless I let you go. Complete some tasks for me first. Or maybe you'd like to be eaten on the spot?"
|"Ho there, small fry. Stick around and help me, would you? You'll get things done much faster than me."
|Second day flavor text
|No rock is large enough to fit it, but that doesn't stop the Milton Lizard from trying to sun. It's found three rocks spaced out enough so that it can rest its head, part of its body, and part of its tail across all three. It doesn't look at all comfortable, but who are you to judge?|"Returned, have you? Good, good. I'll make use of those swift paws."
|"I was sure that you'd try to run away but you came back. You're either very brave or very stupid but useful in both cases. Don't relax yet, you're still not free to go. There's more to do."
|"Rocks! I need rocks! There's not enough around here for me to sun my whole body with. So you need to go and find '''5 x large rocks''' to bring me."|• Give 5x Large Rock|"I like rocks, but I don't always like sleeping on them. Bring me '''2 x nesting material''' before my scaly hide gets bruised."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"Have you seen the locals around here? So nosy. Go and defeat '''1 x ____''' so they stop looking at me like some kind of side show."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Bobcat, Plains Coyote, Whitetail Buck|"I don't care what anyone else says; you're okay in my book!"

|Golden Bear
|Missouri Monster
|[[File:goldenbear.png]]
|[[File:missourimonster.png]]
|This is probably the largest bear you've ever seen. Its shiny, golden fur makes the creature appear as if it is glowing and captures your attention.
|A pile of shaggy, dark fur in front of you stands up and reveals its ape-like shape. Its smell and appearance create a living nightmare.
 


It is quite unusual to feel at ease around bears, but you don't experience any fear or tension as you approach. The bear towers over you, and its thick fur makes it look even bigger, but there's something calm about it that lets you trust it.
A pair of bright, glowing eyes stare at you, but to your surprise, you feel no hostility. At first, it's hard to see the face of the creature in its unkempt fur, but the body language and movement are calm enough to encourage you to approach.
|"If you care about this land, please help me. You won't regret it."
|"You can come closer. I'm not interested in eating you or any of your kind. You can help me with a few tasks if you feel so inclined."
|You can feel the stare focused on you even before you reach the bear's lair. The creature nods slightly as you arrive. While its attitude is very friendly, you know that its expectations are high.
|You notice the creature pacing restlessly. Is it impatient to see the results of your work? Despite being aware of its intentions and character, it still appears somewhat scary with its large size and long arms, capable of ripping you apart.|"Working with you was a good idea. I may be strong but you're fast and agile. I hope that you still have some energy left in that tiny body of yours because there is more to do."
|"Each finished task takes us closer to the goal. You'll see the results soon but not yet. There is still work to do."
|"We can attack our enemies all we want but we also need some protection. You look perfect for this job so find '''5 x large rocks''' and bring them here. I'll take care of the rest."|• Give 5x Large Rock|"I've just noticed that my supplies are almost out. Bring me '''2 x healing salves''' as soon as possible. I use this stuff a lot lately."|• Give 2x Healing Salves|"You probably know that but this area is literally infested with the Merged and it is where the real cleansing process will begin. Get rid of '''2 x of the Merged cryptids''' and I'm sure we will feel the change in the air."|• Defeat 2x of the Merged cryptids|"Faster than I thought, actually. I wish I had known you sooner. Come back soon for another task."
|• Defeat 1x Rawhead<br>
• Give 2x Nesting Materials<br>

|Goofus Bear
|Mogollon Monster
|[[File:goofusbird.png]]
|[[File:mogollonmonster.png]]
|Birds come in all sizes and shapes, so there is nothing weird about this one at first. However, when it starts to move, there is definitely something different about this creature.
|You nearly trip over a large rock, before realising it's not a rock at all! It stirs, and two shining blue eyes blink up at you.
 


You need a while to understand the movement of this peculiar bird. It seems to fly only backward and is generally uninterested in reaching any particular destination. When the bird notices you, it stops for a while to take a closer look.
The monster sits upright, its long, shaggy fur covered in dusty sand. It doesn't seem to mind, and brushes grime away from its eyes. Had it been napping? It heaves itself up to stand and shakes all over quite like you would to dry yourself. Appearing satisfied, it sits back down against a rock formation and looks at you expectantly.
|"Hi there! I know I'm interesting, but instead of just standing there, you could come closer and engage in something useful. Do we have a deal?"
|"Well isn't this convenient? I need a partner, and here you are! I'll reward you for helping me. What do you say?"
|When you get used to the strange behavior of this bird, you notice something else that surprises you even more. Its nest would appear normal if it wasn't built upside down. You're convinced you've seen everything at this point.
|You're not surprised to see the Mogollon Monster lifting large boulders with ease. It seems to be building something, and from what you can tell it looks like it's some sort of makeshift shelter. It's using the side of a rock formation and building up the sides, similar to how you would dig out your own den. When the creature invites you in, you are relieved to get out of the hot sun.|"Welcome back, friend! Ready to continue on? There's much to do."
|"If you came back, it means you're not bored yet. That's good because I will need you again."
|"This arid land doesn't have much in the way of soft brush and plant matter. I'd like to make the floor of my shelter soft and cozy. Do you think you can find '''5 x large leaves''' for me to use?"|• Give 5x Large Leaf|"I'm having trouble finding some of the supplies I need. If you could go and gather '''2 x healing salves''' for me it would help me out so much. Hopefully it's not too hard!"|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"I've always wondered what the land is like around here outside of my little shelter. Go and complete '''1 scouting mission''' and be sure and tell me all about it when you return!"|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"Good job! There will be more to do later. Come back tomorrow after you've had a good rest."

|Grassman
|Monster Turtle
|[[File:grassman.png]]
|[[File:monsterturtle.png]]
|Kind eyes in a round, shaggy face meet yours, and you feel instantly at ease. The creature raises a human-like hand in greeting.
|A rather tall turtle stands before you sliding its long, spiked tail back and forth. It tilts its head sideways and peers at you curiously.
 


It has a familiar presence, almost as if you've seen it before. Such a big, hulking beast would be hard to miss, but you're certain that you've never laid eyes on it before. Perhaps the fact that it seems so welcoming has tricked your brain. It sits peacefully in a nest in the grass and offers you a grub wriggling between its fingers.
Turtles usually walk low to the ground, standing for brief periods only. Not this one, however; it stands upright with ease. The rounded head and sharp beak reminds you of a bird's, while its long neck is as agile as a snake. It could easily strike at you if given the chance, and you remain wary.
|"Hello there! Would you like a grub? I just found some. Oh, but you probably don't like them...not many do. While you're here, would you like to help me with something?"
|"You're new around here. Or maybe I'm just too old? Either way, lend me a paw and I'll make it worth your while."
|Second day flavor text
|The turtle is tucked almost all the way into its shell, only its head and front feet sticking out. It's peering at the ground, muttering to itself and using a long claw to draw in the dirt. What could it be doing? Before you can get closer to see, the turtle notices you and slashes the dirt to cover what it was working on.|"Well look who it is! Like hard work, do you? Good."
|"You're back, fuzzy friend! It's good to see you. Are you ready for the next task?"
|"You haven't been very useful, you know that? Typical. You wolves are always lazy. Go out get me '''3 x ____''' to show me you aren't afraid of a little work. I'll even time you, if you'd like. Go on!"|• Give 3x local items*|"I need some reconnaissance done. Send out '''1 scouting mission''' and then report back to me on any funny business you come across."|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"You claim you're so strong, but I have yet to see evidence. Time for a test. Defeat '''1 x ____'''. That should give you a nice challenge."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Coyote, Whitetail Buck|"That works for now. Come back later, won't you? You're useful."|* Exact required items will be randomized between Dead Fish, Delicate Meat, Tortoise Shell, and Turtle Shell.

|Gumberoo
|Montauk Monster
|[[File:gumberoo.png]]
|[[File:montaukmonster.png]]
|A bear looms before you, fearsome and intimidating. In the place of fur, its hide is like thick leather–you doubt anything can pierce it.
|This fearsome creature's face is something from nightmares. Skin peels back from its gaping maw to reveal the bone structure underneath, and it looks at you with malice.
 


Despite its thick skin, it was still a bear. The Gumberoo leans against a tree, scratching its leathery hide on the sharpest bark it can find. When it steps away, a large gaping hole yawns in the tree. So strong!
It could be some sort of relative to a wild hog, but after one sniff you know that it can't be. It smells like decaying meat, its bare body dirty and malformed in some parts. Bony claws swipe near your face, and you leap back to keep a safe distance. It's eyeing you with mistrust and anger.
|"You there! What are you staring at me for? If you're going to be rude, make yourself useful at least."
|"Don't I scare you? No? Fine then, do as I say or I'll make you regret it."
|The Gumberoo hunches over, licking its claws. They are stained with blood, and prey scent lingers. You smell wolf, too...surely it hadn't eaten your kind? They blow a downy feather away and with a sigh of relief you realize it had only eaten a bird.
|The hog-like creature clearly doesn't have a care in the world. Or maybe it just knows it has nothing to fear? You watch as it digs into a rabbit burrow and yanks one out savagely with an audible crunch. You're sure it's seen you, but it doesn't seem to care and continues its hunt. Eventually it looks up, scowling at you with disdain.|"Well this is a surprise. Actually it's not, because I give you things and your kind is always greedy. Let's get on with it, shall we?"
|"I bet you're wondering if your teeth could pierce my hide, eh? It can't, so don't even try. Ready for your next task?"
|"Go be useful, would you? Go catch me an '''uncommon fish in the fishing game'''. Any will do, I just want you to leave me alone for a while. Take your time and don't hurry back."|• Catch one uncommon fish|"Time to get down to business. Kinfolk are appalling creatures and I won't stand them being near me. Go kill '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' and hurry up. I haven't got all day to sit and wait for you."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"The air here is vile. So fresh and…clean. Find me a place where I can enjoy the muck and the air is better."|• Find the abandoned mineshift in the Taiga|"Great, you can follow simple directions. True intelligence. Leave for now."
|• Give 5x Large Branches<br>
• Give 3x carcasses<br>

|Hidebehind
|Mothman
|[[File:hidebehind.png]]
|[[File:mothman.png]]
|You feel an ominous presence around you but your senses are unable to fully catch the shape of the dark being. One thing is certain: you are being observed.
|The body of the winged creature standing before you is so deeply black that you can't see it properly. It would resemble a giant moth or a bird if not for its ape-like, bipedal posture.
 


The heavy feeling doesn't fade with time. You have a sense that the creature, wherever it may be, can either perfectly blend with the environment or perhaps even change shape. If darkness were to take a physical form, it would be this being.
The creature approaches you with curiosity, tilting its head slightly from time to time. Big, round eyes shining with a bright red glow are almost too vivid when embedded in this darkness. This being looks like it is made of pure shadow but when your eyes adapt a bit, you see its insect-like face.
|"Your fear and confusion are amusing but I have a better use for you."
|"Is your kind the dominant species around here? Seems so. For now. I need someone to help me with some stuff. Easy job. Interested?"
|Even now, when you know what to expect, you still feel uneasy when approaching the creature. You've seen a shadow in the corner of your eye once or twice, but you're not sure if it's your mind tricking you. The one thing you wouldn't mistake for anything else is the voice of the dark being: a hoarse whisper fading into the mountain wind.
|The mothman lands a few steps in front of you with a silent flutter. It apparently was aware of your return long before you arrived. Its senses are probably far better than yours, especially with eyes like that and the ability to fly.|"You would be faster with wings like mine but no matter. Results are what matters most. Ready for more?"
|"Coming back for more? Of course you are. You don't want to know what would happen if you didn't follow my instructions."
|"I believe you are skilled but your word is not enough. Show me how you hunt here. Complete '''3 hunts''' and come back to me."|• Complete 3x hunts|"I want to expand my territory a little. While I can fly and see everything from above, I'm too busy with other stuff right now. You wolves run in packs so it should be easy for you. Complete '''1 scouting mission''' and tell me about everything you discover."|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"With your help, I will be able to secure my territory. Defeat '''2 x of the Merged cryptids''' as soon as you can. They're evil incarnate and are destroying everything around here even when they have no reason to."|• Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids|"Excellent. It seems like it was easy for you. Come back tomorrow if you want to help again."
|• Complete 1x scouting mission<br>
• Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids<br>

|Hodag
|Mothwolf
|[[File:hodag.png]]
|[[File:mothwolf.png]]
|A shaggy, black-furred beast stares menacingly at you, its overgrown fangs dripping with saliva. You can hear a rumbling in its throat.
|A red-eyed, wolf-furred, winged...moth hovers in front of you. Its antennae wave and you feel unsettled as it fixes its gaze upon you.
 


You cautiously step toward the beast, taking care to keep an eye on the sharp, curved horns and spikes along its spine. They glint faintly in the low light, clearly razor sharp and deadly. It's probably best to avoid those. One thing is for sure: you don't want to draw its ire.
This moth-wolf hybrid is something a pup would have nightmares of. Not only does it have segmented legs that click eerily, the last set of legs are wolf-like and enable the creature to stand upright. It stretches itself as tall as it can go as you approach, stretching its wings to their full width and looking at you with contempt.
|"You're either brave or stupid to come here. Leave now, or I'll see to it you do as I say."
|"You're...lesser than me. No wings as far as I can see. An ugly lifeform. Still...I suppose you could be of use. You'd be foolish to refuse to help me."
|Second day flavor text
|The Mothwolf is sitting upright, its wolf legs sprawled in front and its wings folded back. It's using its segmented legs to groom its face, starting from behind its ears to the front of its muzzle. Such a sight would not normally be odd...but the way this creature is doing it makes you uneasy for some reason. It feels...unnatural. As if sensing you watching, the Mothwolf meets your gaze unflinchingly.|"Still in one piece? Impressive. That will do for now. Scurry along now."
|"Back for more? Fine with me."
|"The hunting around here doesn't seem to be any good, but clearly you're still alive. Maybe there's something I'm missing. Complete '''3 hunts''' so I can watch and copy what you do. Don't roll your eyes at me, you should be flattered!"|• Complete 3x hunts|"The local wildlife here doesn't seem to fear me nearly as much as they should. Let's see if we can change that. Defeat '''1x ____''' and send them a message. Don't come back until it's done."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Cougar, Turkey Vulture|"Quit pestering me and make your paws useful, inferior as they may be. Those Kinfolk are dreadful, and must be killed off before I can enjoy myself. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids'''. Maybe they'll even do me a favor and kill you off, if you're weak enough..."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"Well would you look at that. You may be ugly, but you're not stupid. You have my thanks."

|Hoop Snake
|Nagual
|[[File:hoopsnake.png]]
|[[File:nagual.png]]
|You wouldn't believe it if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes. This snake is biting its tail with its jaws to roll forward!
|There is a strange vibe surrounding this creature. It's not just a bipedal canine with some humanoid features. You can't explain it, but you feel that there is much more to it than meets the eye.
 


The creature notices you and releases its tail from its mouth, appearing much more familiar as it moves around like any other snake. Even without its strange movement, there is still something extraordinary about this being. You can definitely feel it.
While the Nagual's body doesn't appear strong or muscular, it is certainly not where the source of its power lies. When your eyes meet its gaze, you feel an intelligence surpassing your own. It's definitely unsettling.
|"I wasn't expecting anyone, but since you're here, you can do something good for us both."
|"Come closer, I don't intend to harm you. My rage is directed at something else and I hope you will help me with a few simple tasks."
|The snake, using its special way of moving again, rolls towards you, and there is no doubt that it's an efficient and fast way not only to move but also to hunt—assuming it doesn't suffer from a headache, of course.
|You notice the creature preparing something with its bony, five-fingered hands. Before you can see what it is, Nagual hides everything and stands up with a stern expression. Apparently, there are many secrets you aren't allowed to know, even when you work together.|"Does your return mean that you are willing to do another task for me? I hope so."
|"I already see the effects of your efforts. Don't stop and this chaos should be over soon."

|Horned Beast
|North Shore Monster
|[[File:hornedbeast.png]]
|[[File:northshoremonster.png]]
|You hear snarling before a shaggy, horned beast with claws comes out of the shadows. It continues to snarl angrily and you're hesitant to move closer.
|This creature would look simply like a large snake if it were not for its head, which resembles that of a horse. Equally surprising and terrifying, the monster appears to remain unaware of your presence.
 


It's a wonder this beast can walk at all. Its claws are so overgrown and curled that it has a funny gait as it moves around. They look deathly sharp, however, and you decide you don't want to test just how sharp they are. As if sensing your fear, the beast rakes them across the ground, leaving deep gouges in the earth and daring you to come closer.
Still amazed by the unusual appearance, you take a step closer, trying to understand how it is even possible for such a creature to exist. It surely doesn't have the flexible jaws of a snake or the speed of a horse, but you feel that it's better to be prepared for anything.
|"Endless pestering, that's my reward for coming to this cursed place. No one will leave me alone! I suppose you want to "help" me too? Fine then."
|"Stop staring at me and do something useful. I will consider letting you go if you serve me well."
|Second day flavor text
|The creature remains still, awaiting you in the very same spot where you last saw it. It's clear that it couldn't care less about you, and it doesn't even try to pretend otherwise.|"You're back for more? I must think of something more challenging. Are you prepared?"
|"I should have known you'd be back. Give a dog a bone, as they say. Let's be on with it, then."
|"This task will be easy, even for you. I'm in the mood for a snack, and I want you to bring me something delicious. I can do it myself, of course, but having a servant and not using it would be such a waste. Catch me an '''uncommon fish in the fishing game'''."|• Catch one uncommon fish|"I don't want to be accompanied by weaklings and you don't look like a fierce beast. You can earn my respect by demonstrating your skills. Complete '''3 hunts''' and come back to show me your results."|• Complete 3x hunts|"This place may be a desert but it feels too crowded when it comes to dealing with Kinfolk. I hate them to the core. If you meet '''1 x Hoop Snake''', beat the life out of them."|• Defeat 1x Hoop Snake|"Not so bad for such a weakling but it's not the end. Come back tomorrow, there's more to do."

|Old Scratch

|[[File:oldscratch.png]]
|At first, you nearly mistake this creature for a moose; but this is no ordinary mammal. The jointless legs appear to limit the creature's movements, and its unusual muzzle looks like it would be hard to eat anything with.
|You have to look twice to believe your eyes. At first you thought this creature is a human, but the red skin and horns leave no room for imagination.
 


The stiff movements of the creature make you realize what an easy target it would be for any hungry wolf here. It must possess some hidden power that keeps potential danger away. Its long lip moves slightly, but you don't know if it's an attempt to smile or a grimace of dislike.
Yellow eyes stare at you intensely, and a soft smirk appears on the devil's face. While elegant and well-mannered, he has the vibe of a natural predator. You can't deny that he is both unsettling and fascinating.
|"Do not disturb me and go back to where you came from. Unless... unless you agree to help me, then you may stay."
|"What perfect timing! You have a fantastic opportunity to show your worth by completing a few simple tasks. It will be beneficial for both of us and you won't regret it. Unless you refuse."
|The stiff-legged silhouette blends rather well with the surrounding trees and it's not easy to find it. You realize that the creature is unable to lie down but it somehow manages to survive just fine standing up, which is definitely a thing to admire.  
|The devil greets you in a way only a good, old friend would do but you know that behind the pleasant voice and graceful movements, there is a real threat that you would face in case of poor performance.|"I'm pleased to see you again. We make a perfect team, don't we? We should continue working together a bit longer. Are you ready for that?"
|"Ready to do something else? The sooner we finish, the better. I like my own company over you nosy wolves."
|"This task is going to be simple. I just need '''2 x nesting material''', and please don't be too curious about my intention. We all know where curiosity leads to."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"You may have the sharpest teeth and the fastest legs but are you really skilled? Prove your worth and complete '''3 hunts'''. If you succeed, I will admit that you are indeed a good choice to change the world with me."|• Complete 3x hunts|"From the first moment I saw you, I knew that you were a warrior. A true warrior, ready to face all the dangers of these unstable times. Our main opponents are the Kinfolk creatures. They constantly interrupt my work. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' and report back to me. I will show you what a significant change we can make together."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"Excellent job.

|A beautiful rack of horns is attached to a majestic...rabbit? It sits back on its haunches and wiggles its nose furiously, taking in your scent.
|A large feline observes you carefully as you step into its
territory. Its eyes, sharp and focused, lock onto yours and make you anxious...
 


You have never seen horns on anything other than a deer, and you openly stare at the small creature before you. It's larger than most rabbits, sure, but its tiny head doesn't look nearly sturdy enough to hold the weight of the horns. It lowers its head toward you and places itself in a defensive stance, eyeing you warily.
The slender, muscular body of the feline moves so gracefully that you don't need proof of the creature's hunting skills. It seems irritated by your

presence but it doesn't show any hostility, which is a good sign.

|"You're back! You haven't eaten me yet, either. I guess I'm in luck for now. Fancy another task?"
|The creature rests atop a moss-covered rock looking at you just like a ruler looks at their subject. Even when it's relaxed, you can see that it's always focused and alert, which is something to admire though you don't dare to speak it aloud.|"Coming back so fast? I see, you must have missed me so much. It's understandable. Work for me again, and who knows, maybe you'll learn something."
|• Find the "jackalope babies" encounter in the Prairie<br>
|"I think I will move deeper into the forest soon. I have found a better spot but it will mean abandoning my current cozy lair. Bring me '''2 x nesting material''' so I can start preparing everything right away."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"I haven't had time to hunt today. If you have something to share, it would really make my day. Give me '''3 x full use carcasses''' and be quick about it."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"I don't really care about other animals living here, but I have an issue with other felines. They pose a potential danger to my chosen territory and prey. Long story short, I don't want any unwanted guests that might steal my food. Defeat '''1 x ____'''."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Cougar, Frenzied Razorback, Whitetail Buck|"Not so bad, I must say.

|The huge, dark shadow above your head is too big to be a bird. Or maybe it's a bat? You take another look, observing the creature as it lands nearby. No...it's a large, winged goat with an ominous shine in its red eyes.
|A black, shaggy coat, horns, and red glowing eyes don't look inviting at first, but the bear-like creature doesn't seem interested in attacking you.
 


The goat monster folds its wings on its back, lowering its head when it notices you. A long tail, swaying slowly from side to side, resembles a snake ready to attack and you are almost sure that you catch a malicious smirk on the creature's muzzle. It can fly so it's pointless to try to escape now.
Despite the horns and long tail, the creature doesn't look out of place and it seems to feel right at home. In fact, the more you look at it, the more familiar it looks. Your arrival doesn't surprise the creature either, and you even get an impression that it was waiting for a moment like this.
|"You will serve me. It's not a question or an offer. Just do what you are told if you want to see the next sunrise."
|"You really can come closer. If I wanted to eat you, I would have done it already. The only thing I want is to stay here, I'm not looking for any unnecessary strife. Will you help me to solve a few tiny issues?"
|Second day flavor text
|The contrast between the composed nature of the Ozark Howler and its almost demonic appearance is striking even when you already know about it. The creature rests under the tree as if it hasn't moved since your last meeting and its gaze is fully focused and awake. You wouldn't like to have it as your foe.|"Every completed task is one step towards balance in this area. It's not the end though. Are you willing to work more?"
|Second day quest text

I am in the mood for fish and I think that you know where to find the tastiest ones.

|A snake lays in pieces in front of you. Before your very eyes it twitches and snaps itself back together. Whoa!
|At first, the creature in front of you looks like a hairless sloth. Yet when you focus on the creature, you start to realise that it is quite different.
|First day quest text
 
|You watch as the snake spots some small prey. In the blink of an eye, it releases its head which shoots out to bite down on the prey fiercely before snapping back to the snake. Efficient...even if it's a bit morbid.
 
|"Oh good, you don't look as dumb as before. That will come in handy. Let's get started."
Misleading at first, the creature is definitely a being unknown to you and likely new to this land. You can see the fear in its small eyes when it tries to reach the nearby tree but it's too slow. The creature seems to know that it wouldn't have any chance if you wanted to harm it.
|• Complete 2x hunts<br>
|"Wait...wait a moment. If you help me with a few tasks, it may be more beneficial to you than just eating me. Interested?"
• Give 3x random critter carcasses<br>
|You see the creature hanging from a branch, visibly more comfortable and relaxed. It reveals a toothless smile, and you wish that it hadn't. Looking at you with a tilted head, it doesn't need to say anything to make you feel the weight of the troubles of the world. It's odd when such a feeling is caused by one look from something so sloth-like.|"You really saved a lot of my time and I would appreciate it if you could do it again. Do we have a deal?"
• Give 2x nesting materials
|"I know that this area is always in full bloom and it's not that hard to find the necessary stuff to arrange your hideout the way you like. I'm too slow, however, and it's far too difficult for me to get it done without wasting an entire day. If you could bring me '''2 x nesting material''' it would help so much."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"It seems that dangers are surrounding me wherever I go. I hear the voices of The Merged each night and I can't sleep when I know that I cannot escape if they find me. Defeat '''2 x of the Merged cryptids'''. It should make this place safer for me."|• Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids|"I spend too much of my time finding materials to cover my lair and making it comfier. If you could give me something that is already prepared...like a destroyed nest, I could use its parts for my own needs."|• Find the ruined nest in the Rainforest|"I'd never do it so quickly.

|Pope Lick Monster
|[[File:kipsy.png]]
|[[File:popelickmonster.png]]
|The movement in the muddy water is promising and you hope to catch a tasty fish, but instead a large, snake-like monster emerges in front of you.
|A bizarre, two-legged goat creature stands in front of you, sniffing the air. Long, ruffled fur around its neck looks almost like a mane, making it look significantly bigger and more imposing.
 


While the monster is huge and intimidating, it's unlikely that it can chase you outside the water which is relieving and makes you feel braver. The creature lowers its head to take a closer look at you. It still hasn't said a word but you can already tell that this meeting wasn't a coincidence. The creature definitely has a reason to reveal itself in such a way.
The muscular chest of the beast is rising and falling slowly. The strangest thing you notice are strong, sharp claws at the end of the creature's long, five-fingered forelimbs. It's definitely not a herbivore.
|"Ah, another one. Good. Maybe you'll do better. I need some tasks done and you are definitely faster than me on the ground. Will you help me?"
|"If you didn't want to help, you would be running back already. Are you with me or against me?"
|Second day flavor text
|The creature snorts shortly, allowing you to come closer. The bloody glow in its eyes makes you anxious but the tension decreases after a while. It seems that it doesn't want to attack you...at least for now. You expected a goat's bleat but the voice you hear is low, growling and strangely pleasant to the ear.|"Doing this stuff is addicting, isn't it? I suppose there's worse things than working for me. I hope you came prepared."
|"There is still some work to do but if we keep this pace, we'll be done soon. Ready for the next task?"
|"I plan to stay here for a while and I don't want anyone to disturb me again as you did. There is a solution that I'm sure you know well: intimidation. Bring me '''1 x Wolf Skull''' so that I can display it to chase other wolves away."|• Give 1x Wolf Skull|"Maybe we have the same goal here. We can make this world a perfect place for us. Get rid of those who oppose us. Kill '''1 x ____'''."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Coyote, Turkey Vulture|"Do you know what infuriates me the most? The Kinfolk.

|Knocker
|Rawhead
|[[File:knocker.png]]
|[[File:rawhead.png]]
|The tiny creature you stumble upon somewhat resembles a bat but it is wingless and apparently lives underground as it pops its head out of a burrow.
|This horrifying creature has a skull with no skin. Unease prickles at your pelt as it observes you with hungry eyes.
 


The long armed being sits nearby, looking for something with its creepy fingers that resemble thin spider legs. It still hasn't noticed you despite its large ears. You make the first step, lowering your head a bit. It doesn't seem to be afraid, which makes you wonder what hidden skills it may have.
Rawhead prowls around the cold landscape as if searching for its next victim. And odd sound like rattling bones comes from its mouth and fills you with fear. Did it do that to attract its prey or scare it?
|"Good timing! I need some help. I hope that you don't have anything else to do."
|"Have you been a good wolf? If you say no, that's a lie–all wolves like you are naughty. I'll consider not eating you if you do as I say."
|Second day flavor text
|In your absence the monster has collected a variety of bones and sits on them like some sort of weird throne. Had it killed that much prey in such a short amount of time?|"Naughty wolf, come to be good? Nonsense! Time to atone for your sins."
|"You completed the last task so quickly that I can't help but ask for your assistance again. Are you up for it?"
|"Tell you what, '''5 x large branches''' is just what I need. Hurry back or I'll smack you upside the head with one of them."|• Give 5x Large Branch|"You have no shortage of annoyances around here, do you? Go and defeat '''1 x ____''' if you want to live to see another day."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Arctic Fox, Barren Ground Caribou, Wolverine|"Less competition, that's what I need. Be a good wolf and go chase out the pests. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' OR '''2 x Independent cryptids''' - that will do."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk or Independent cryptids (randomized)|"You've been good for now. Come back tomorrow!"

|Kraken
|Rougarou
|[[File:kraken.png]]
|[[File:rougarou.png]]
|Two round eyes as large as your head stare right through you. The creature's tentacled, slimy body shifts over the ice and sends shivers down your spine.
|Your pelt prickles with fear as a wolf-like creature that stands on two legs emerges from the swamp fog. It throws back its head and howls.
 


You've never seen such a large beast; whispers, perhaps, but nothing solid. From the way it's wobbling unsteadily, it's clear it doesn't belong on land. Yet here it is, waving its many tentacles around that make small sucking sounds as they detach and reattach themselves to the ice. It reaches toward you curiously.
How this wolf walks upright like a human is a mystery to you. It's unnatural, and as it starts to walk toward you it has a sort of swaying gait and is hunched over. Saliva drips from its muzzle and the glowing red eyes look wild and crazed. Something is off about this creature.
|"Hmm, you're not very suited for this icy place, are you? I was hoping for something else. I guess you'll have to do. Help me out?"
|"''You''! Pip squeak! Don't you run from me. You're going to do as I say or I'll snap your scrawny neck."
|Second day flavor text
|Rougarou paces restlessly, twitching at every sound. Every tree it passes, it swipes and leaves deep gouges with its long claws in the trunks. It appears to be marking its territory, but from what? Only you were stupid enough to get close. The creature turns to face you with a snarl.|"You're smart enough to come back. eh? Good. I'd just hunt you down anyway. Time to get to work."|"As it happens, I'm running low on items I need and you're the perfect little servant to get them for me. Bring me '''3 x ____''' and make it quick. It shouldn't take you long to get a few measly items."|• Give 3x local items*|"You're such a good errand wolf that you get to go on another for me, and this time I have a preference. Bring me '''3 x full use carcasses'''. No ifs, ands, or buts. That's what I want, so that's what you're going to bring me."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"I know just the thing for you to do–manual labor! I've had some issues with a cryptid species lately. They just keep being a damn nuisance! Defeat '''1 x ____''' so I can have some of my sanity back."|• Defeat 1x local Kinfolk cryptid (randomized): Cajun Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, Tuttle Bottoms Monster|"Passable. That will do for now. If you abandon me tomorrow you'll regret it. Now go away."|* Exact required items will be randomized between Rattle, Tortoise Shell, and Turtle Shell

|Lava Bear
|Sasquatch
|[[File:lavabear.png]]
|[[File:sasquatch.png]]
|The creature in front of you is definitely a bear, but a strangely tiny one, and it takes you a while to realise that it's not a cub. Despite the odd glow of its eyes, you don't feel any fear.
|Bright green eyes full of intelligence peek between shaggy fur on this creature's face. It's big and hairy and imposing, but seems rather peaceful.
 


Thick, woolly fur makes the bear look fluffy and you somehow can't imagine it being truly aggressive. However, when you approach the creature, your experience tells you to be ready for anything. The bear raises its head boldly and stares at you, unfazed.
The creature is sitting against a large boulder, picking debris out of its hair. It continues its grooming even after you make your presence known. It seems to be in no great hurry, and finally it stops and looks at you curiously.
|"Who are you? Leave me alone. Or...wait. Since you're already here, can you help me with something?"
|"You there. I assume you've interrupted my business on purpose? Even if not, you're here now and you'll be of use. Do something for me, would you?"
|Second day flavor text
|The Sasquatch is sitting with its hand outstretched on the rock, staying very still. A butterfly is hovering nearby, and after a moment it settles on the long, bony hand. Its green eyes widen and you could swear it appears to be smiling. Maybe it wasn't such a fierce beast after all. The butterfly flutters away as you approach.|"The wanderer has returned for more work! The last task must have been too easy. I'll think of something harder this time."
|"If you have nothing else to do today, I could use some more help."
|"This land will need to heal once this turmoil is over, and all of the animals that call it home. See if you can find '''2 x healing salves''' and bring them to me. I want to make sure I have enough for any who may need them."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"Soft material for a nest is hard to find here. So many dry, scraggly bushes. How can I get a good night's sleep if I'm constantly rolling on prickly brush? I need you to bring me '''2 x nesting material'''. You're a smart wolf; I'm sure you won't have any trouble."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"The disasters in this area are endless. I'd imagine it's the same everywhere else, too. There's bound to be others in need of help, so go and help '''2 x distressed animals in explore''' instead of wasting your time sitting here idle."|• Help 2x distressed animals|"Very good. That will do for now. Be off back to wherever it is you come from."
|• Find the "lava bear cub" encounter in the Desert<br>

|Letiche
|Sea Serpent
|[[File:letiche.png]]
|[[File:seaserpent.png]]
|A large-toothed shaggy creature with large, round ears judges you with its beady eyes. It resembles a large rat, and you've caught its attention.
|A giant serpent observes your movements carefully. Its body is dark and shiny like the surface of a cold, midnight sea. It could probably crush your bones effortlessly.
 


Usually snacking on a rat makes for a tasty morsel–but this creature is far too large for you to have a hope of taking it down. The long fangs and sharp, curled claws aren't very inviting, either. It faces you with its lips peeled back over its teeth, letting them glint in the light as it stares you down.
One step towards this creature could be your last one. The snake smiles ominously with its mouth full of long, sharp teeth. That doesn't help in overcoming your doubts, but you notice a genuine interest in its bright eyes. When it hisses, it feels like it could suck your soul away.
|"I saw that look on your face. My teeth are sharp, wolf. Mind yourself and help me with a task, and you'll be rewarded."
|"There is something interesting about you that I like. If you help me with something, I will consider not eating you."
|Second day flavor text
|Dark scales on the snake's coiled body are so clear they look as if they could reflect the night sky. The creature raises its head slowly. You still have a feeling that it is constantly wondering if it should kill you or not.|"I knew you'd be back for more. Are you prepared?"
|"Greedy mutt, aren't you? Are you here just to help or for the reward? Either way, let's get on with it."
|"I'm perfectly fine now but need to be ready for every outcome. Bring me '''2 x healing salves''' so I won't need to ask for help when I get injured. It would be humiliating."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"I need to know more about this land before my next move. I let my enemies think that they're out of my reach. For now. Complete '''1 scouting mission''' and report everything to me."|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"Don't worry, this won't be too difficult, I believe. Kinfolk fools think that they are safe because I cannot attack most of them from here. Well, now I can. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' and show them my wrath."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"Very good. That will do for now. Be off back to wherever it is you come from."

|Sewer Alligator

|You've seen scaled beasts in the swamp before, but this one stands upright and moves like a man. It hisses through long, sharp teeth.
|Large and stinking like sewage, an alligator glares at you and lets out a hiss when you don't back down.
 


The creature moves with ease through the wet terrain and seems to be looking for something. It makes such a ruckus that if it happens to be looking for something to eat, you know it will never find anything. It stomps around and smacks its long tail on the muddy ground in frustration before glaring at you.
The hulking being is not unlike a normal alligator, except for the fact that it's twice the size of any you've seen before. The smell radiating from its thick skin is enough to make you nauseous. When it opens its decaying mouth, you hold your breath before the smell manages to knock you out.
|"You there! I need food, among other things. You will help me, or I'll just eat you instead."
|"You smell like a wet dog, do you know that? And not the pleasant kind that comes from sewage, either. Think you can help me, smelly mutt?"
|Second day flavor text
|Muttering and squelching in the mud, the alligator looks agitated. You catch snippets about the ground not being good enough for a roll, and watch as it poos and proceeds to roll around happily. Ew!|"Did you bathe? Bah! Now you smell even worse! Good thing you won't be here long. Hurry up and say yes to this task so I don't have to smell you anymore, hmm?"
|Second day quest text
|"Since you're such a good hunter, I'm sure you can spare some food, hmm? I need '''3 x full use carcasses''' and they'd better be perfect."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"Time to show me you're not useless at providing for yourself and your pack. Complete '''2 hunts''' before showing your face again."|• Complete 2x hunts|"Show me your battle prowess. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' and return back to tell me of your victories."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"Want to be told you're a good dog? Fine, you're an adequate dog. Come back later."

|Loveland Frog
|Shadow Being
|[[File:lovelandfrog.png]]
|[[File:shadowbeing.png]]
|Big, bulging eyes look back at you from the shadows, and striding out on two legs is...a frog.
|A black, thick shadow emerges out of nowhere, forming a terrifying shape straight from nightmares. You struggle to focus on it; it fools your senses when you try.
 


The frog lets out a big stretch and lowers into a hunched position as it examines you. How is it walking on two legs? Its tongue flicks out and licks an eyeball and it tilts its head. Well, it may walk like a human, but it's definitely a frog.
You don't dare stray too close, and even from this distance, you can say that any attempt to touch the creature would surely fail. The skull-like, creepy smile is the only clear feature of its face. You can't see its eyes but you feel like the shadow is observing you carefully and if it wanted to haunt you, it would be able to do so whenever it wanted. Its voice is sharp and hissing like the winter wind.
|"Lose your way, did you? Well, since you just so conveniently happen to be passing through, I could use your paws, if you're willing..."
|"Don't hesitate, come closer. You wouldn't be able to escape anyway so you might as well listen to my offer. If you manage to complete a few tasks, I will let you go. Maybe."
|The Loveland Frog is reclined against a tree, legs crossed and arms behind its large head. Its eyes flick back and forth as if watching something, when suddenly–slap. It snatches a bug right out of the air! Eesh...
|Even though you know what to expect, you still feel uneasy around this creature. Its mere presence causes you to feel cold shivers, but now you know it's just a physical reaction that you can keep at bay if you focus strongly enough. The shadow seems to enjoy your inner struggles in silence.|"The task yesterday wasn't too hard, was it? I didn't think so. Physical labour is not my thing but you are perfect for this stuff. Ready for another task?"
|"You came back! Not that I can blame you, I am rather good company. But enough of that–ready for your next task?"
|"I won't call you an ally unless I see that there will be no shame in having you by my side. Complete '''3 hunts''' and I will surely look at our cooperation differently."|• Complete 3x hunts|"These lands appear vast, and maybe it's enough for you, but not for me. The mere scent of Kinfolk sends me into a rage. The so-called "Independent" cryptids aren't any better. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' OR '''2 x Independent cryptids''' for me and use your imagination. You know what I mean, you don't have to be clean with it. Release your hate."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk or Independent cryptids (randomized)|"While I enjoy my solitude, I also like to tease weaker minds from time to time. Animals are simple but they also have less complicated fears. Find me a human so I can play with his mind as I like. In an area like this, you should be able to find a researcher or a Polar Scientist. You don't need to do anything, just track him down and report it to me. I'll take care of the rest."|• Find the polar scientist in the Tundra|"Good. We're done for now. Find something else to do until tomorrow and come back for your next task. It will be better for you if you don't disappoint me."

|Shagamaw
|[[File:manipogo.png]]
|[[File:shagamaw.png]]
|The floppy ears and large eyes of this creature create a good, almost kind impression, but your experience tells you to be careful, no matter how harmless the creature's appearance may seem.
|This creature would resemble a bear if not for the antlers sprouting from its head and hooves on the hind legs. Its eyes shine with an unsettling yellow glow.
 


The most familiar shape you could think of is that of a seal, but there is also something canine about this creature. It notices your presence, observing you in silence. You have a feeling that you disturbed its plans.
If the creature is aggressive, you'll be in trouble, but it seems rather calm. Moss-covered fur makes great camouflage in this deep forest. Now you realise that you've seen pawprints and hoofprints together a lot but you'd never guess that they could belong to one animal. Following this being would probably give you a headache. Its whole appearance seems designed to fool and mislead wolves.
|"Are you bored or something? You look like you could be, so come here and listen to me. I have lots of things to do, and you seem to have none. Can you help me?"
|"So...you found me. If it was your intention, it proves that you have some useful skills. Will you help me?"
|The slender and now familiar shape can be seen among the rocks. The creature is relaxing with its eyes closed and its head turned up to the sky. The faint scent of fish tells you that it has probably just finished its meal.
|You don't see Shagamaw despite feeling its presence nearby and it steps out of the shadows when you come close. It's quite impressive how well this creature can hide right before your eyes. Its expression used to look indifferent before but now you sense the tension and expectations. Your help here may have greater significance than you think.|"I hope that you still have your initial enthusiasm because we're not done yet. Interested in another job?"
|"Look who's back! I'm almost happy to see you. Almost. It's nothing personal; I don't really like anyone, but you're not that bad. You're still eager to help, right?"
|"This request doesn't sound very urgent, but I assure you it's quite important. I really need '''5 x large branches'''. I think I need to conceal my lair even better than it is now.

|Michigan Dogman
|Sidehill Gouger
|[[File:michigandogman.png]]
|[[File:sidehillgouger.png]]
|Despite having a clearly canine muzzle, the posture of this creature is more ape-like, especially when you see it walking on two legs.
|At first glance, this creature is no different from an antelope with unusual markings. You notice that its legs are shorter on one side, and wonder if it's mutated.
 


You can't deny that in such an open area this strange being could be a threat to many animals, and you wouldn't like to have it as your foe. The blue glow of its eyes seems emotionless and cold but when the creature approaches you, you don't feel hostility. As it comes closer to sniff you, it starts walking using four limbs again.
The unusual physique of the creature forces it to use hilly terrains only. Walking on any flat surface would likely be impossible, making the Gouger an incredibly easy prey for every hungry carnivore in this area. It is perfectly aware of this fact, staring at you in fear as you approach.
|"It still feels calm around. If you help me, we can try to prevent the worst from happening."
|"Stop, wait! I know this gaze. If you help me with a few things, it will benefit you more than eating me, I promise."
|Upon your return, you see the Dogman walking through the grass and patrolling its territory. When it notices you, it starts walking on four legs again, probably to appear more familiar to you. It works somehow, and you feel less awkward in its presence but the long fingers of its front paws are still creepy.
|The Gouger needs a while to make a full circle on the rocks to be able to face you. Not only was it restricted to hilly terrain, but it was also doomed to use only one direction when it wanted to turn. At this point, you start to wonder how it is capable of living to adulthood or breeding. It must have some strong points that are still a mystery.|"I hope that you've changed your plans about your dinner. I may need some help again and I've started to trust you."
|Second day quest text
|"What may seem effortless to other herbivores, requires much more planning for me. What I wouldn't give for a simple snack without the need to go in circles constantly. Say, do you have '''5 x large leaves''' that I can snack on?"|• Give 5x Large Leaf|"Knowing the area is essential for me. I can't just go and discover the world willy-nilly, I need to plan in advance to save time. Complete '''1 scouting mission''' and come back to share the details. You have my thanks in advance."|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"As you can see, my mobility is somewhat limited. I need to reach a certain spot but finding a way to this particular location would take too long. There should be an Abandoned Train Tunnel somewhere. I've heard that more of my kind can be found on the other side. Find the tunnel and describe a way to this place so I can plan my journey."|• Find the train tunnel in the Prairie|"I appreciate your help, really. I hope you're satisfied with your reward too. Come back later if you want another task."
|• Give 2x Healing Salves<br>
• Help 3x distressed animals in explore<br>

|Milton Lizard
|Sisimito
|[[File:miltonlizard.png]]
|[[File:sisimito.png]]
|An imposing lizard that looks similar to a monitor lizard blocks your way. It's larger than any lizard you've seen before, and could eat you whole.
|The mere sight of this ape-like creature covered with moss green fur makes you feel uneasy but its twisted body doesn't seem to cause it any pain.
 


Lumbering around without a care in the world, the lizard flattens the grass wherever it goes, causing small prey to flee. It pays them no mind, instead opting to trample the grass in random patterns and smush anthills purely for fun.
While the creature is rather big and could be potentially dangerous to you, it seems hesitant to approach. Eventually, it comes closer, using its distorted body in a surprisingly smooth way, resembling a spider with backward-facing feet and fast movement.
|"Ho there, small fry. Stick around and help me, would you? You'll get things done much faster than me."
|"Hey, don't come too close. Yes, this far is good. I need someone to help me and you look bored. Interested?"
|No rock is large enough to fit it, but that doesn't stop the Milton Lizard from trying to sun. It's found three rocks spaced out enough so that it can rest its head, part of its body, and part of its tail across all three. It doesn't look at all comfortable, but who are you to judge?
|The messy, dirty green fur of the creature is perfect camouflage. You almost trip over the resting Sisimito, mistaking it for a moss-covered log. With a scent more similar to trees than any animal, it would have been a real challenge to find it if you hadn't stumbled upon it by accident. It seems that this creature is more adapted to life here than you initially expected.|"Back so soon? Good, I need more help. You were so fast yesterday, surely it won't be a problem to do another, right?"
|"Returned, have you? Good, good. I'll make use of those swift paws."
|"I would really appreciate it if you could bring '''5 x large rocks''' here. Yeah, I need quite a lot of them lately. Some are needed to block the way to my home, others are to welcome the intruders once they manage to get to me."|• Give 5x Large Rock|"I usually don't need any help with such simple tasks but since you're here, I think you will do it faster than me. Find '''2 x healing salves''' for me. Doesn't sound too complicated, does it?"|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"I'm running out of my supplies and it seems that with so many dangers around, time is of the essence to look for the necessities. Find '''5 x ____'''. I tried to look for it myself but I still don't know this area well enough."|• Give 5x local items*|"Not bad, not bad! I think it's all for today. Take a rest but come back later for another task."|* Exact required items will be randomized between Acorn, Aloe, Guaiacum, Kava, Large Leaf, Parrot Feather, Pineapple Leaf, Tapir Carcass, Toucan Feather, Turmeric, and Turtle Eggs

|Miissouri Monster
|Skunk Ape
|[[File:missourimonster.png]]
|[[File:skunkape.png]]
|A pile of shaggy, dark fur in front of you stands up and reveals its ape-like shape. Its smell and appearance create a living nightmare.
|A strange looking beast with long, shaggy hair observes you with a keen eye. It smiles widely, revealing long, sharp teeth.
 


A pair of bright, glowing eyes stare at you, but to your surprise, you feel no hostility. At first, it's hard to see the face of the creature in its unkempt fur, but the body language and movement are calm enough to encourage you to approach.
Unlike a monkey, this creature walks upright. As it lumbers towards you, you can't help but wonder if it's actually human. No other animal that you know walks upright. Its long, thick fingers reach out as if it wants to touch your fur, but it seems to change its mind and goes nose-to-nose with you instead.
|"You can come closer. I'm not interested in eating you or any of your kind. You can help me with a few tasks if you feel so inclined."
|"You're nearly as hairy as me! You smell much worse though. No matter. I need your help."
|You notice the creature pacing restlessly. Is it impatient to see the results of your work? Despite being aware of its intentions and character, it still appears somewhat scary with its large size and long arms, capable of ripping you apart.
|It's a wonder that the creature has the ability to smell you at all. You watch as instead of cleaning its long fur, it simply rolls around on the ground, picking up all sorts of debris. Small sticks, leaves, dust–you name it, it was on the long hair. And it thought ''you'' smelled?|"You really should do something about that smell on your fur. Maybe roll in some poo? Find some while you're out helping me complete this next task."|"This task will be easy for you; you have to find the same stuff for your pack, don't you? Good, good. Bring me '''2 x nesting material'''. I think it's time I make this place more cozy."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"Fear has a very distinct smell. Maybe you've smelled it before when you hunt your prey? The air is thick with it lately. These disasters do nothing but cause fear, and it's time to do something about it. Help '''2 x distressed animals in explore'''. I'm sure you'll have plenty to choose from."|• Help 2x distressed animals|"Do you know what smells worse than you? Those cryptids calling themselves "The Merged" like they're some sort of cult. They very well might be, but that's not important. What is important is that they smell awful and I can't stand it. Go defeat '''2 x of the Merged cryptids''' so it smells better around here."|• Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids|"Not too "shaggy!" I'll have something for you to do again tomorrow."
|"Working with you was a good idea. I may be strong but you're fast and agile. I hope that you still have some energy left in that tiny body of yours because there is more to do."
|• Defeat 3x the Merged cryptids<br>
• Give 2x Healing Salves<br>

|Mogollon Monster
|Sliver Cat
|[[File:mogollonmonster.png]]
|[[File:slivercat.png]]
|You nearly trip over a large rock, before realising it's not a rock at all! It stirs, and two shining blue eyes blink up at you.
|This large feline looks almost like an ordinary cougar. You do a double take, and notice a strange, spherical growth at the tip of its abnormally long tail.
 


The monster sits upright, its long, shaggy fur covered in dusty sand. It doesn't seem to mind, and brushes grime away from its eyes. Had it been napping? It heaves itself up to stand and shakes all over quite like you would to dry yourself. Appearing satisfied, it sits back down against a rock formation and looks at you expectantly.
The creature seems amused by your visit, treating you rather as an interesting encounter with local residents rather than a threat or a challenge. Its soft smirk only proves that it already looks down on everything.
|"Well isn't this convenient? I need a partner, and here you are! I'll reward you for helping me. What do you say?"
|"Are you lost? Or maybe you looked for me to help me out?"
|You're not surprised to see the Mogollon Monster lifting large boulders with ease. It seems to be building something, and from what you can tell it looks like it's some sort of makeshift shelter. It's using the side of a rock formation and building up the sides, similar to how you would dig out your own den. When the creature invites you in, you are relieved to get out of the hot sun.
|The green glow in the creature's eyes has an extra shine when you appear again. Is that excitement? Expectation? Maybe it is not as indifferent as it may seem but its attitude is probably a part of a bigger game. Or just a cat thing. You'll never know.|"Don't worry if the previous tasks have felt easy. I can always give you something more challenging today, if you think you're up to it."
|"Welcome back, friend! Ready to continue on? There's much to do."
|"I'm in the mood for a snack but I've tried almost everything that can be found here. Bring me something exotic. Maybe you could find '''2 x Agouti Carcass''' for me? I'm curious about the taste."|• Give 2x Agouti Carcass|"I am an excellent hunter but since you agreed to help, I'd love to see what you are made of. Complete '''3 hunts''' and don't forget to share the meal with me."|• Complete 3x hunts|"I won't be a burden to anyone unless someone tries to mess with me. There are some unfortunate folks who tried and now they need to be taught a lesson before they try to invade my space again. Defeat '''1 x ____''' and I'll see if it changes anything."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Coyote, Whitetail Buck|"It's almost sad that you aren't a cat. You have potential. Come back later for your next job."

|Monster Turtle
|Snallygaster
|[[File:monsterturtle.png]]
|[[File:snallygaster.png]]
|A rather tall turtle stands before you sliding its long, spiked tail back and forth. It tilts its head sideways and peers at you curiously.
|The creature in front of you is one of the most bizarre things you have ever seen. Between the tentacles, the wings, and the reptilian body, it confuses your every sense.
 


Turtles usually walk low to the ground, standing for brief periods only. Not this one, however; it stands upright with ease. The rounded head and sharp beak reminds you of a bird's, while its long neck is as agile as a snake. It could easily strike at you if given the chance, and you remain wary.
The creature looks out of place in this terrain, but you're not entirely sure where it would fit in otherwise. It walks around on its gangly, clawed feet, appearing lost and unsure of where to go. It's looking every which way, as if searching for something.
|"You're new around here. Or maybe I'm just too old? Either way, lend me a paw and I'll make it worth your while."
|"You there! I need your help. You look like you're in need of something to do. Care to lend a paw?"
|Second day flavor text
|Watching Snallygaster as it goes about its business, you wonder if the tentacles on its face ever dry out. Does it need to go under water at times? What happens to its wings if so? The creature seems to sense your endless curiosity and leaps into the air with a shriek and stares you down, wings stirring up dirt and debris it lands after a moment but never takes its single eye off of you.|"Still bored enough to help? Good, let's get going. There's much to do."
|Second day quest text
|"Time to put those paws to work. You can never be too prepared, and I'm running low on herbs. Bring me '''5 x ____'''."|• Give 5x local herbs*|"Do I look like I'm ready for a fight? Honestly, you creatures that call this land home are the oddest things I've ever seen. It's like you're itching for a fight! Those birds in particular won't leave me alone and stop challenging me. I need you to take care of it for me. Defeat '''1 x Enraged Canada Goose''' and I will reward you handsomely."|• Defeat 1x Enraged Canada Goose|"I came across an odd sight while I was flying around earlier. It was some sort of bird, but it was laying in the muck and wasn't moving…it seemed like it wasn't supposed to be there. Go see if you can find it, and see if there's any reason for me to worry. Anything that big is a threat to me, especially if it can fly."|• Find the plane wreck in the Grasslands|"Thank you for your help.

|Montauk Monster
|Snipe
|[[File:montaukmonster.png]]
|[[File:snipe.png]]
|This fearsome creature's face is something from nightmares. Skin peels back from its gaping maw to reveal the bone structure underneath, and it looks at you with malice.
|You approach this creature warily, wondering if your eyes are playing tricks on you. Is it even real?
 


It could be some sort of relative to a wild hog, but after one sniff you know that it can't be. It smells like decaying meat, its bare body dirty and malformed in some parts. Bony claws swipe near your face, and you leap back to keep a safe distance. It's eyeing you with mistrust and anger.
The creature doesn't seem to move...and yet, you find it sitting in different spots. First its sitting by a rock, then near a scrub bush, then blinking at you from the frosty plane…is it messing with your head?
|"Don't I scare you? No? Fine then, do as I say or I'll make you regret it."
|"You can see me, can you? Fascinating! You must have a good imagination. I'm only visible to intelligent beings, you know. Perfect timing, too–I could use your help."
|Second day flavor text
|The Snipe isn't here. At least, it doesn't seem to be...but you feel watched. You look all around for the creature, only to turn and find it sitting right where you first stood. How had you missed it? Amusement dances in its eyes as it watches you.|"See, I knew you couldn't stay away! I'm far too interesting. Let's get going before you change your mind."
|"Well this is a surprise. Actually it's not, because I give you things and your kind is always greedy. Let's get on with it, shall we?"
|"I need something to make decent hiding spot. '''5 x large rocks''' will do. I think this spot right here would be perfect to build it when you return..."|• Give 5x Large Rock|"I don't like going off on my own, so send out '''1 scouting mission''' and tell me of all the interesting sights, sounds, and smells they come back with."|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"These animals are spoiling my fun.

|Mothman
|Snow Snake
|[[File:mothman.png]]
|[[File:snowsnake.png]]
|The body of the winged creature standing before you is so deeply black that you can't see it properly. It would resemble a giant moth or a bird if not for its ape-like, bipedal posture.
|It is quite unusual to see a reptile thriving in such a cold area. Its blindingly bright white scales make the creature look ghostly unreal and somewhat fascinating as well.
 


The creature approaches you with curiosity, tilting its head slightly from time to time. Big, round eyes shining with a bright red glow are almost too vivid when embedded in this darkness. This being looks like it is made of pure shadow but when your eyes adapt a bit, you see its insect-like face.
The snake approaches you so fast that you don't have a chance to think about making an escape. When it slithers, it's hard to focus your sight on it. While the creature doesn't look much different than other snakes, there is something supernatural about it. When it focuses its gaze on you, you start to feel anxious.
|"Is your kind the dominant species around here? Seems so. For now. I need someone to help me with some stuff. Easy job. Interested?"
|"What a surprise, a guest. Are you here to bother me or to help?"
|Second day flavor text
|You notice the snake resting in the snow, barely visible unless you get close. It seems that it is aware of you and is expecting you. It's clear that its senses must be way sharper than the senses of any other snake.|"There is always something more to do. Are you ready?"
|Second day quest text
|"If I only had '''5 x large branches''', I'd arrange an imitation of a bush or other plant to attract small prey to me. If you bring them to me it means less time that you have to spend hunting for me. You should be happy, it means more free time for you."|• Give 5x Large Branch|"As you can see, it's not so easy to find something to eat here. I don't need a lot but since you're offering to help me, bring '''3 x ____''' to me. I can stash them and keep them for later in this cold climate."|• Give 3x local carcasses*|"I've noticed that hunting has become more and more of a struggle. Not because there is something wrong with my skills, mind you. There are too many animals wanting to hunt the same prey as me. Get rid of '''1 x ____''', so I can hunt more easily."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Arctic Fox, Snowy Owl|"I didn't expect that it could turn out so well. Come back tomorrow if you want to help again."|* Exact required carcasses will be randomized between Caribou Calf Carcass, Gull Carcass, Hare Carcass, Seal Pup Carcasses, and Stoat Carcass.

|Mothwolf
|Snow Wasset
|[[File:mothwolf.png]]
|[[File:snowwasset.png]]
|A red-eyed, wolf-furred, winged...moth hovers in front of you. Its antennae wave and you feel unsettled as it fixes its gaze upon you.
|The creature resting in front of you looks like a fur-covered snake with a muzzle similar to the one of a stoat or a marten. It doesn't look very intimidating, and it's even kind of cute, but it's best to be careful.
 


This moth-wolf hybrid is something a pup would have nightmares of. Not only does it have segmented legs that click eerily, the last set of legs are wolf-like and enable the creature to stand upright. It stretches itself as tall as it can go as you approach, stretching its wings to their full width and looking at you with contempt.
You wonder if its atrophied limbs have any function or if this creature really can hunt without them. The Snow Wasset licks its mouth and turns to face you slowly. A self-confident smirk tells you at once that it can probably catch its prey better than you. Its eyes look hungry...
|"You're...lesser than me. No wings as far as I can see. An ugly lifeform. Still...I suppose you could be of use. You'd be foolish to refuse to help me."
|"Do you have some time to help me out with some easy tasks? If not, then go away, this is my territory."
|The Mothwolf is sitting upright, its wolf legs sprawled in front and its wings folded back. It's using its segmented legs to groom its face, starting from behind its ears to the front of its muzzle. Such a sight would not normally be odd...but the way this creature is doing it makes you uneasy for some reason. It feels...unnatural. As if sensing you watching, the Mothwolf meets your gaze unflinchingly.
|The creature sticks its head out from its burrow hidden under the snow. You can already tell that it spends most of its time underground as a way to adapt to this unfriendly environment. While you would never win against the Wasset below ground, it clearly needs you for its business on the surface.|"Welcome again, my long-legged friend. It wasn't a bad idea to let you do this. Are you ready for another job?"
|Second day quest text
|"While I feel perfectly safe underground, there are still some threats that I face that require healing afterward. Do you have '''2 x healing salves''' by any chance? I need to replenish my stock."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"I can hunt here on the surface, but I prefer to stay underground where I can use my favourite methods. This is why I rarely eat fish and I really want to take a bite or two. Can you catch an '''uncommon fish in the fishing game'''?"|• Catch 1x uncommon fish|"You see, the surface isn't really my favourite place to be and you are definitely more accustomed to travelling long distances. I need you to check the shore. I've heard that there's a shipwreck nearby and I need some information about it. Let's make a deal. You tell me everything about it and if you find anything useful, you may take it."|• Find the shipwreck in the Glacier|"Not bad! You came back sooner than I expected. That's all for now. Come back tomorrow and we'll talk again."

|Nagual
|Southern Chupacabras
|[[File:nagual.png]]
|[[File:southernchupacabras.png]]
|There is a strange vibe surrounding this creature. It's not just a bipedal canine with some humanoid features. You can't explain it, but you feel that there is much more to it than meets the eye.
|If death itself could have a child with a rat, the creature standing in front of you would be the result. The skull-like muzzle is frozen in a permanent, unsettling grin as the beast stares at you.
 


While the Nagual's body doesn't appear strong or muscular, it is certainly not where the source of its power lies. When your eyes meet its gaze, you feel an intelligence surpassing your own. It's definitely unsettling.
While the creature isn't huge, it doesn't seem to be afraid of you and it would be foolish to underestimate it. Its rattlesnake tail makes you wonder if its bite is venomous. It definitely looks like it. When it approaches you, you can hear its loud, disgusting breath sounds.
|"Come closer, I don't intend to harm you. My rage is directed at something else and I hope you will help me with a few simple tasks."
|"If you want to stay around, you must follow my rules and do as I say. Otherwise, get out."
|You notice the creature preparing something with its bony, five-fingered hands. Before you can see what it is, Nagual hides everything and stands up with a stern expression. Apparently, there are many secrets you aren't allowed to know, even when you work together.
|You can hear the silent clatter of claws a bit before the creature emerges from the shadows. A long, thin tail cuts the air constantly as the beast shows its impatience. It clearly thinks that you're its servant and tries to dominate you with each movement.|"You came to serve me more? Smart move."
|"Does your return mean that you are willing to do another task for me? I hope so."
|"When you enter my land, you better have something to share with me. Do you have '''3 x Beaver Carcass''' by any chance? If not, then go now and find some but don't waste too much time. I'm in the mood for those water rats and I'm not a patient creature."|• Give 3x Beaver Carcass|"With your help, I can finally chase those Kinfolk bastards away. They won't dare disturb me after you're done with them. Defeat '''2 x Kinfolk cryptids''' and come back when you're done. I can't wait to claim this area. If you do well, I may grant you access to my territory as long as you don't bother me."|• Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids|"I need a better place to live. Find something like a destroyed den so I can rearrange it as I like."|• Find the destroyed den in the Rainforest|"Alright. You are not so useless after all. This cooperation might work. Come back tomorrow."

|North Shore Monster
|Splintercat
|[[File:northshoremonster.png]]
|[[File:splintercat.png]]
|This creature would look simply like a large snake if it were not for its head, which resembles that of a horse. Equally surprising and terrifying, the monster appears to remain unaware of your presence.
|A sudden movement in the shadows catches your attention. You notice a feline-shaped creature staring at you as if it is ready to jump.
 


Still amazed by the unusual appearance, you take a step closer, trying to understand how it is even possible for such a creature to exist. It surely doesn't have the flexible jaws of a snake or the speed of a horse, but you feel that it's better to be prepared for anything.
When you approach, the cat relaxes its muscles, abandoning the plan to hunt you down. You notice its back is covered with strange, sharp spikes, reminding you of a hedgehog. Its tail is swaying back and forth slowly. The spikes on the creature's body aren't long but you wouldn't like to have a closer encounter with them. Suddenly, the cat decides to shorten the safe distance between you and sits in front of you.
|"Stop staring at me and do something useful. I will consider letting you go if you serve me well."
|"What's your business around here? I'm sure it can wait a little longer. I need your help."
|The creature remains still, awaiting you in the very same spot where you last saw it. It's clear that it couldn't care less about you, and it doesn't event try to pretend otherwise.
|The cat's brown fur blends perfectly with the mountain landscape. When it rests on the ground, it resembles a broken, spiky branch of a tree. No wonder it doesn't even bother to hide and feels rather comfortable out in the open. Upon your return, it turns lazily to face you. It's clear that it wants to listen about your progress and then doze in the sun.|"Back already? Good, I need your help again."
|"You're back for more? I must think of something more challenging. Are you prepared?"
|"My lair is almost ready. I only need some brush to camouflage it properly. Bring me '''5 x large branches''' and it should be perfect to make the finishing touches."|• Give 5x Large Branch|"The sooner I know this area better, the better prey I can catch before other creatures do it first. Complete '''1 scouting mission''' while I patrol the other side of my territory. Thanks to you, I will gather far more information much sooner than other hunters here."|• Complete 1x scouting mission|"I had no idea that this place was so densely inhabited. I definitely need more space, and any creature messing with me is the first to be chased off. I am being generous, believe me. Defeat '''1 x ____''' as soon as you can."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Bobcat, Elk Bull|"Excellent! Exactly what I needed. You can go now, but not too far away. You must come back tomorrow for your next task."

|Old Scratch
|Squonk
|[[File:oldscratch.png]]
|[[File:squonk.png]]
|You have to look twice to believe your eyes. At first you thought this creature is a human, but the red skin and horns leave no room for imagination.
|A sorry-looking lump of wrinkly skin with warts and moles meets your gaze. Its eyes are sad, and tears stream silently down its face.
 


Yellow eyes stare at you intensely, and a soft smirk appears on the devil's face. While elegant and well-mannered, he has the vibe of a natural predator. You can't deny that he is both unsettling and fascinating.
The creature is staring at the ground, ears drooping and looking like its mere existence is weighing it down. It's making small mewling noises as tears run down its face. It's crying so much that the ground at its feet is damp, and everytime it moves it leaves an easy trail to follow. Maybe you can try to cheer it up somehow?
|"What perfect timing! You have a fantastic opportunity to show your worth by completing a few simple tasks. It will be beneficial for both of us and you won't regret it. Unless you refuse."
|"Oh, hello...you seem nice. Will you...help me? I'm too sad to do much on my own."
|The devil greets you in a way only a good, old friend would do but you know that behind the pleasant voice and graceful movements, there is a real threat that you would face in case of poor performance.
|For once, the sad creature doesn't seem so sad. Its face still droops and its ears are hung low, but it's crouched down and staring at a nearby flower. It seems fascinated by it, and while there are still tears rolling down its face, they aren't flowing as quickly as before. It huffs and makes a gurgling noise, and you realise that it's trying to smell it.|"It's nice to see your friendly face again! Come to help me again?"
|"I'm pleased to see you again. We make a perfect team, don't we? We should continue working together a bit longer. Are you ready for that?"
|"I can never keep enough herbs on hand. My luck is rotten and never seems to go my way. You're here now, though…want to help turn my luck around? Find '''5 x St. John's Wort''' for me if you don't mind."|• Give 5x St. John's Wort|"These pine needles are nice, but they don't do much to help keep it dry when I lay down. Would you bring me '''2 x nesting material'''? I need something more absorbent to dry my tears at night."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"Oh my friend, I have good news! While I was sitting by that tree over there having a good cry, the most beautiful smell passed my nose. There's another like me nearby, I'm sure of it. She smells so lovely…see if you can convince her to come and visit me? I would love to meet her."|• Find Blonk in the Coniferous Forest|"You did it! Very good. I hope I'll see you later."

|"Are you lost, pup? I might help you find the way but only if you help me first."
|"You there! Come closer! You have been chosen to help me. Come on, you'll appreciate it when you finish. It's much better than fighting me."
|This creature is one with the swamp. You could even say that it embodies its essence, blending seamlessly with the surrounding vegetation despite its large body. Glowing eyes appear to penetrate your soul as you approach. You'll probably never get used to it.|"Back already? It seems that I underestimated you, and you have some skills. I will keep that in mind when thinking about the next task for you."
|The creature rests atop a moss-covered rock looking at you just like a ruler looks at their subject. Even when it's relaxed, you can see that it's always focused and alert, which is something to admire though you don't dare to speak it aloud.
|"As you already know, this area isn't safe, so I want to be prepared for everything.

|Ozark Howler
|Tailypo
|[[File:ozarkhowler.png]]
|[[File:tailypo.png]]
|A black, shaggy coat, horns, and red glowing eyes don't look inviting at first, but the bear-like creature doesn't seem interested in attacking you.
|A familiar long snout with pointy ears and rough, coarse fur shoves into your face rather abruptly. The creature it belongs to makes you think it might be some kind of wolf.
 


Despite the horns and long tail, the creature doesn't look out of place and it seems to feel right at home. In fact, the more you look at it, the more familiar it looks. Your arrival doesn't surprise the creature either, and you even get an impression that it was waiting for a moment like this.
It has a long tail, and its body is thin and wiry with oddly long toes. It sniffs you up and down, as if gaining information. You don't have to even attempt to smell the creature; its stench crosses your nose every time it passes you. It smells muggy and damp and of something more sinister, but you can't be sure.
|"You really can come closer. If I wanted to eat you, I would have done it already. The only thing I want is to stay here, I'm not looking for any unnecessary strife. Will you help me to solve a few tiny issues?"
|"You look like me, but you're far smellier. Don't you wash? I guess it can't be helped...I could use a strong set of paws like yours. Smell aside, do you want to help me?"
|The contrast between the composed nature of the Ozark Howler and its almost demonic appearance is striking even when you already know about it. The creature rests under the tree as if it hasn't moved since your last meeting and its gaze is fully focused and awake. You wouldn't like to have it as your foe.
|The Tailypo is trotting back and forth among the trees and brush, stopping every so often to look at the ground. It looks far too pleased with itself, and as you watch, it licks its muzzle as it goes to the next place and you smell fresh kill. Had it stored that much food around? But it appears to be travelling around randomly...was it stealing kills? It turns to look at you with an innocent expression.|"You came back! I wasn't sure you would. Ready to keep going?"
|"Every completed task is one step towards balance in this area. It's not the end though. Are you willing to work more?"
|"My stomach is a bottomless pit, I tell you. No matter how much prey I steal–I mean, find–I can't seem to satiate my hunger. Help me out, would you? Bring me '''3 x full use carcasses'''. If that doesn't satisfy me, I don't know what will."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"Time for some hunting! Well, I'm not going to hunt, but you are. You're far too scrawny. I have to teach you how to eat properly, it seems. But before you can eat, you need to hunt. Complete '''3 hunts''' and come show me your spoils. Be prepared to share!"|• Complete 3x hunts|"I'm itching to sink my claws into the felines in this area. I see them all over this place. I don't want to fight a battle I'm going to lose, however. That's where you come in! Defeat '''1 x ____''' and let me know how tough they are."|• Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Bobcat, Cougar|"You're pretty good at this.

|Panama Creature
|Teakettler
|[[File:panamacreature.png]]
|[[File:teakettler.png]]
|At first, the creature in front of you looks like a hairless sloth. Yet when you focus on the creature, you start to realise that it is quite different.
|You hear a high-pitched whining before a strange looking dog approaches you. Steam is coming from its mouth, and it's walking...backwards?
 


Misleading at first, the creature is definitely a being unknown to you and likely new to this land. You can see the fear in its small eyes when it tries to reach the nearby tree but it's too slow. The creature seems to know that it wouldn't have any chance if you wanted to harm it.
The creature walks in a strange shimmy pattern as it navigates the world backwards. You notice its cat-like ears swivel back and forth as it moves, as if using them to listen as it moves. It seems to manage well, despite its odd movement.
|"Wait...wait a moment. If you help me with a few tasks, it may be more beneficial to you than just eating me. Interested?"
|"Oh, you there. You're capable aren't you? I have need of your forward-thinking ways."
|Second day flavor text
|The Teakettler is curled up, looking almost peaceful. As it snores, a faint whistling sound comes from its nose and gentle tendrils of steam curl through the air. With a snort it shakes itself awake, fixing you with a curious gaze.
|Second day quest text

|Pope Lick Monster
|The White Stag
|[[File:popelickmonster.png]]
|[[File:thewhitestag.png]]
|A bizarre, two-legged goat creature stands in front of you, sniffing the air. Long, ruffled fur around its neck looks almost like a mane, making it look significantly bigger and more imposing.
|The magnificent stag in front of you resembles an ancient forest god with its splendid, huge antlers and perfectly clean, almost shining white fur. It looks beautifully unreal.
 


The muscular chest of the beast is rising and falling slowly. The strangest thing you notice are strong, sharp claws at the end of the creature's long, five-fingered forelimbs. It's definitely not a herbivore.
You don't feel any kind of fear. It may be your gut feeling or the creature's vibe, but there is something royal and proud about it. The stag nods slowly, inviting you to come closer.
|"If you didn't want to help, you would be running back already. Are you with me or against me?"
|"Did you lose your path? Or maybe you came here to help?"
|Second day flavor text
|You observe the stag grazing and walking around slowly like a ghost. It looks so otherworldly that such mundane activity like eating appears strange. It seems that it's just a deer after all. He notices you and comes closer.|"I'm glad to see you back. Will you help me again?"  
|"Doing this stuff is addicting, isn't it? I suppose there's worse things than working for me. I hope you came prepared."
|"I don't know this land yet. It takes quite a long time for me to find food I am familiar with. Please, bring me '''5 x ____''' and help me fill my belly."|• Give 5x plant items*|"I try to help others when possible but alone I can only do so much.

|Rawhead
|Thetis Lake Monster
|[[File:rawhead.png]]
|[[File:thetislakemonster.png]]
|This horrifying creature has a skull with no skin. Unease prickles at your pelt as it observes you with hungry eyes.
|With a gleeful malice in its eyes, a scaled human-like creature with fins grins at you with sharpened teeth.
 


Rawhead prowls around the cold landscape as if searching for its next victim. And odd sound like rattling bones comes from its mouth and fills you with fear. Did it do that to attract its prey or scare it?
Picking a sharpened scale from its spiky head, the monster begins to pick its teeth. Tiny foreign objects flick out, and you struggle to watch as you wonder what on earth the creature could have eaten.
|"Have you been a good wolf? If you say no, that's a lie–all wolves like you are naughty. I'll consider not eating you if you do as I say."
|"What have we here? A sniveling pup come to worship me? Very well, complete some tasks for me and I'll consider myself sufficiently worshiped."
|In your absence the monster has collected a variety of bones and sits on them like some sort of weird throne. Had it killed that much prey in such a short amount of time?
|The Thetis Lake Monster stomps in a muddy puddle, making gross squelching and squishing noises. It slathers itself in the mud once it deems it an acceptable consistency, and it only adds to the wet, fishy smell of the creature.|"My presence must be irresistible for you to return so soon. Get started on your worshiping tasks, would you?"
|"Naughty wolf, come to be good? Nonsense! Time to atone for your sins."
|"I need supplies to heal myself. You don't think I just sit here do you? I'm constantly chasing creatures away and don't always get away unscathed. Bring me '''2 x healing salves'''."|• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve|"I'm in the mood for fish, but I don't feel like fishing. This is where you come in, furry peasant.

|Rougarou
|Tuttle Bottoms Monster
|[[File:rougarou.png]]
|[[File:tuttlebottomsmonster.png]]
|Your pelt prickles with fear as a wolf-like creature that stands on two legs emerges from the swamp fog. It throws back its head and howls.
|This large, bipedal creature resembles an ape but has a head with a characteristic, elongated mouth that reminds you of anteaters. It hasn't looked at you yet, but you have a feeling that it's aware of your presence.
 


How this wolf walks upright like a human is a mystery to you. It's unnatural, and as it starts to walk toward you it has a sort of swaying gait and is hunched over. Saliva drips from its muzzle and the glowing red eyes look wild and crazed. Something is off about this creature.
The shaggy, thick fur of the creature is covered with tiny, dried leaves and pieces of tree bark. It uses its mouth just like an anteater, looking for insects and eating them with its long tongue. It appears as though nothing could ruin its dedication, and it is completely absorbed.
|"You! Pip squeak! Don't you run from me. You're going to do as I say or I'll snap your scrawny neck."
|"Greetings! I wasn't expecting anyone here, but I'm glad to see you. There are some things that need to be done, and I won't be able to do everything myself. The condition of this world is worsening. We must work together."
|Rougarou paces restlessly, twitching at every sound. Every tree it passes, it swipes and leaves deep gouges with its long claws in the trunks. It appears to be marking its territory, but from what? Only you were stupid enough to get close. The creature turns to face you with a snarl.
|The stocky body of the creature can be seen among the trees, this time on all fours, doing the same thing as always: looking for something to eat. You're glad that you don't have to eat with such a tiny mouth. It would take ages to feel full!|"I knew you would be back to help me more. I hope we have similar interests but if not...the final result is the most important."
|Second day quest text

Do you happen to have any spare '''3 x ____'''?"|• Give 3x medicines (randomized)|"I'm trying to actively monitor the chaos.

|Unidentified Beings

|[[File:unidentifiedbeings.png]]
|Bright green eyes full of intelligence peek between shaggy fur on this creature's face. It's big and hairy and imposing, but seems rather peaceful.
|You've seen many unexplained things in your life, but the sight in front of your eyes is beyond your comprehension. A bipedal creature, despite having a familiar body frame, makes your body stiff with anxiety and all your senses seem fogged...
 


The creature is sitting against a large boulder, picking debris out of its hair. It continues its grooming even after you make your presence known. It seems to be in no great hurry, and finally it stops and looks at you curiously.
The more you focus on the being, the more details you can spot. Their natural body armour reminds you of an insect but they're far from that. Even when you get used to how they look, their presence still makes you feel anxious and uneasy. This creature doesn't feel right and something about them is alien to the core. Your instinct tells you to run away but an oddly calming voice speaks to you by your name directly in your head. You don't even truly hear it...you feel it.
|"You there. I assume you've interrupted my business on purpose? Even if not, you're here now and you'll be of use. Do something for me, would you?"
|"Fear not! We need your cooperation in order to cease this madness. This world's natural balance is in danger. Will you assist us?"
|Second day flavor text
|The strange being is still there, waiting on the frozen plains. They don't scare you now and you feel safe despite the weird aura surrounding them. You would really like to know more about them but an odd feeling makes you think that it could be too much for your mind to comprehend.|"You're back! Choosing you was the right decision. You can do more if you're up to it. It would be highly appreciated."

|A giant serpent observes your movements carefully. Its body is dark and shiny like the surface of a cold, midnight sea. It could probably crush your bones effortlessly.
|Though you've never seen it before, this creature looks oddly familiar. It cocks its head and looks at you with a curious expression.
 


One step towards this creature could be your last one. The snake smiles ominously with its mouth full of long, sharp teeth. That doesn't help in overcoming your doubts, but you notice a genuine interest in its bright eyes. When it hisses, it feels like it could suck your soul away.
Large flies swarm around its head, and it reaches up to swat at them with large scaly paws. It manages to catch some and licks the smushed bugs happily off of its palm. Yuck!
|"There is something interesting about you that I like. If you help me with something, I will consider not eating you."
|"I don't think we've met before, but you sure look familiar. Maybe there's just too many wolves around here for me to keep track. No matter, I still need help."
|Second day flavor text
|The Walgren Lake Monster has made itself right at home. It hunkers down in a cool, muddy spot and sleeps soundly. You wonder how it can be so carefree with all that's going on in the world.

|Sewer Alligator
|Wampus Cat
|[[File:seweralligator.png]]
|[[File:wampuscat.png]]
|Large and stinking like sewage, an alligator glares at you and lets out a hiss when you don't back down.
|At first glance, the creature doesn't differ much from any other wild cat you've encountered so far. That is until you spot it has an additional pair of limbs, apparently fully functional.
 


The hulking being is not unlike a normal alligator, except for the fact that it's twice the size of any you've seen before. The smell radiating from its thick skin is enough to make you nauseous. When it opens its decaying mouth, you hold your breath before the smell manages to knock you out.
While the extra pair of legs is shorter, the creature uses them naturally and you start to wonder if such a thing could make you better at hunting. The cat's glowing eyes meet yours when it catches you staring at its additional limbs. The sight of its sharp claws suggest that it's probably best to be careful not to anger it.
|"You smell like a wet dog, do you know that? And not the pleasant kind that comes from sewage, either. Think you can help me, smelly mutt?"
|"Are you here to stare at me like that or will you do something useful for a change?"
|Muttering and squelching in the mud, the alligator looks agitated. You catch snippets about the ground not being good enough for a roll, and watch as it poos and proceeds to roll around happily. Ew!
|Wampus cat rests in a comfortable spot on the soft grass and minds its own business, licking its paws. It doesn't seem to care much about your presence now that it's used to it, but you can see the hint of tension in its movements. It's way more interested in the results of your work than in you.|"Your work saves my time and effort for the more important stuff. That's something I can appreciate. Will you assist me again?"
|"Did you bathe? Bah! Now you smell even worse! Good thing you won't be here long. Hurry up and say yes to this task so I don't have to smell you anymore, hmm?"
|"I don't know if I'll stay here for long or not. I like it at the moment but my lair isn't ready yet. I still don't have time to make it, but luckily you have nothing but time. Find '''2 x nesting material''' for me."|• Give 2x Nesting Material|"Today's task is simple. Catch me an '''uncommon fish in the fishing game'''. What?

Go on now, the fish won't catch themselves!"|• Catch 1x uncommon fish|"I can tell that you do well with simple things, but now it's time for something more challenging. Complete '''3 hunts''' and come back to me with proof of your skill."|• Complete 2x hunts|"I wasn't expecting you so soon, it's impressive.

|Shadow Being
|Water Tiger
|[[File:shadowbeing.png]]
|[[File:watertiger.png]]
|A black, thick shadow emerges out of nowhere, forming a terrifying shape straight from nightmares. You struggle to focus on it; it fools your senses when you try.
|A nearby moss-covered log starts to move, and you realise that it never was a log–it's a large cat. Its fur is green and blue, and blends in well with its surroundings.
 


You don't dare stray too close, and even from this distance, you can say that any attempt to touch the creature would surely fail. The skull-like, creepy smile is the only clear feature of its face. You can't see its eyes but you feel like the shadow is observing you carefully and if it wanted to haunt you, it would be able to do so whenever it wanted. Its voice is sharp and hissing like the winter wind.
The cat appears intimidating, but it doesn't seem particularly bothered by your presence. You sense no malice, instead feeling as though you hold a mutual respect for each other. It sits regally and watches you coolly, inviting you with a sweep of its tail.
|"Don't hesitate, come closer. You wouldn't be able to escape anyway so you might as well listen to my offer. If you manage to complete a few tasks, I will let you go. Maybe."
|"Well look at that, a wolf! Usually I wouldn't even talk to you, but you seem smart and capable. Interested in helping me?"
|Second day flavor text
|If you didn't know what to look for, the Water Tiger would have evaded you. You barely spot the blue pattern on its pelt against the green as it lounges on the mossy log. Its tail is draped over lazily, and swinging back and forth. It looks like it's asleep, but the tail movement and the twitching of its ears tell you otherwise. One blue eye opens and peers at you.|"Ah, there you are. I heard you howling last night. I will never understand the desire...no matter, let's get on with today's task."
|"The task yesterday wasn't too hard, was it? I didn't think so. Physical labour is not my thing but you are perfect for this stuff. Ready for another task?"
|"Your coat is shiny and your eyes are bright–I can tell you have some good fish to eat around here. Care to share? Well, even if you don't, you're going to. Go and catch me an '''uncommon fish in the fishing game''' and don't go tasting it, you hear?"|• Catch 1x uncommon fish|"You look fast, which tells me this next task will prove no challenge to you and your pack.

|Shagamaw
|White Lady
|[[File:shagamaw.png]]
|[[File:whitelady.png]]
|This creature would resemble a bear if not for the antlers sprouting from its head and hooves on the hind legs. Its eyes shine with an unsettling yellow glow.
|You're quite surprised to see a human female in this unfriendly environment. Upon closer inspection, you notice that her skin is ghostly pale and an otherworldly vibe surrounds her, making you feel uneasy.
 


If the creature is aggressive, you'll be in trouble, but it seems rather calm. Moss-covered fur makes great camouflage in this deep forest. Now you realise that you've seen pawprints and hoofprints together a lot but you'd never guess that they could belong to one animal. Following this being would probably give you a headache. Its whole appearance seems designed to fool and mislead wolves.
The ghostly woman stares at you in silence. Her ethereal and luminous gown appears to be moving even without any wind. There is something very sad and melancholic about her expression. She nods slightly, allowing you to come closer.
|"So...you found me. If it was your intention, it proves that you have some useful skills. Will you help me?"
|"If you're here, you must feel the disturbances in this world too. I need your help to bring it back to what it was."
|You don't see Shagamaw despite feeling its presence nearby and it steps out of the shadows when you come close. It's quite impressive how well this creature can hide right before your eyes. Its expression used to look indifferent before but now you sense the tension and expectations. Your help here may have greater significance than you think.
|You can see the white lady from afar. Her spectral body is glowing gently like the moonlight, and she looks at you with the same sadness in her bright eyes as before. However, now you can also feel the weight of the responsibility you were given.|"You're still alive so there's still hope. We'll part ways when this is over but I still need you for now."
|Second day quest text

|Sidehill Gouger
|White River Monster
|[[File:sidehillgouger.png]]
|[[File:whiterivermonster.png]]
|At first glance, this creature is no different from an antelope with unusual markings. You notice that its legs are shorter on one side, and wonder if it's mutated.
|With a gaping jaw of sharp teeth that could easily swallow you head first, this giant fish-like creature commands attention with its presence.
 


The unusual physique of the creature forces it to use hilly terrains only. Walking on any flat surface would likely be impossible, making the Gouger an incredibly easy prey for every hungry carnivore in this area. It is perfectly aware of this fact, staring at you in fear as you approach.
The White River Monster uses its large jaws to scoop through the river and catches everything in its path–rocks, plants, fish, even some branches! It crunches down and allows the debris to filter through, revealing a wiggling fish. That's certainly one way to do it!
|"Stop, wait! I know this gaze. If you help me with a few things, it will benefit you more than eating me, I promise."
|"Come to help? Good, I know just what to do with you. No refusing, or I'll eat that pretty head of yours."
|Second day flavor text
|With its sharp gaze cast to the sky, the creature is far too focused to notice you at first. It watches as two small birds dart around in the air, appearing thoughtful. If it wasn't earth-bound, you're certain it would try and eat them. The birds dart past your head and the White River Monster turns to you expectantly.|"Look who had the courage to come back! Color me impressed. Ready to serve me?"
|Second day quest text
|"I've heard the fish here are numerous and vary, but I'm stuck to this one area. Bring me something else, anything of the '''uncommon fish in the fishing game''' variety will do."|• Catch one uncommon fish|"I don't move much on land; I'm restricted to the water.

|Sisimito
|Wisconsin Werewolf
|[[File:sisimito.png]]
|[[File:wisconsinwerewolf.png]]
|The mere sight of this ape-like creature covered with moss green fur makes you feel uneasy but its twisted body doesn't seem to cause it any pain.
|The wolf-like appearance of this creature is familiar until it reveals its bipedal posture. It looms above you and you feel small.
 


While the creature is rather big and could be potentially dangerous to you, it seems hesitant to approach. Eventually, it comes closer, using its distorted body in a surprisingly smooth way, resembling a spider with backward-facing feet and fast movement.
The beast lets out a warning growl at first but stops suddenly, visibly intrigued by your visit. Its ruffled fur adds to the creature's size but you find its human hands and chest scarier. You let it come closer to sniff you, prepared for any possible outcome of this encounter.
|"Hey, don't come too close. Yes, this far is good. I need someone to help me and you look bored. Interested?"
|"What's your business here? I have some stuff to do and I don't want to be disturbed. Help me or leave."
|The messy, dirty green fur of the creature is perfect camouflage. You almost trip over the resting Sisimito, mistaking it for a moss-covered log. With a scent more similar to trees than any animal, it would have been a real challenge to find it if you hadn't stumbled upon it by accident. It seems that this creature is more adapted to life here than you initially expected.
|The werewolf barely pays attention until you come really close. You don't feel looked down upon but it's clear that the beast couldn't care less about anything else than its own stuff. You are merely a tool to achieve its goals but you know you could benefit from this temporary alliance.|"There you are! You're surprisingly good at this, I must say. You'd be a formidable opponent if you had thumbs. Do you want to try something different now?"
|"Back so soon? Good, I need more help. You were so fast yesterday, surely it won't be a problem to do another, right?"
|"I need materials to make my lair broader and well-protected. No, I won't tell you where it is. Stop asking so many questions and bring me '''5 x large rocks'''."|• Give 5x Large Rock|"First of all, I'm terribly hungry. If you don't find something soon, you may start looking tasty to me. I've seen a lot of prey around here and they seem confused by everything going on so they will be easy to catch. Bring me '''3 x full use carcasses''' and I may even share some with you."|• Give 3x full-use carcasses|"I thought that this would be a calm place to settle for a while but they're always after me. Who? Humans, of course. I've seen one intruder lately. You'll recognize him easily. Find the outback old man before he finds me. I don't care how you will deal with him, just get rid of this pest."|• Find the survival man in the Coniferous Forest|"I don't have anything more for you now but come back later."
|• Give 2x Healing Salves<br>
• Give 5x Large Rock<br>
• Give 5x local materials (specific required items will be randomized between Aloe, Toucan Feathers, Parrot Feathers, Pineapple Leaves, Tapir Carcass, and Large Leaves)

Its long, thick fingers reach out as if it wants to touch your fur, but it seems to change its mind and goes nose-to-nose with you instead.

|If death itself could have a child with a rat, the creature standing in front of you would be the result. The skull-like muzzle is frozen in a permanent, unsettling grin as the beast stares at you.
While the creature isn't huge, it doesn't seem to be afraid of you and it would be foolish to underestimate it. Its rattlesnake tail makes you wonder if its bite is venomous. It definitely looks like it. When it approaches you, you can hear its loud, disgusting breath sounds.
|"If you want to stay around, you must follow my rules and do as I say. Otherwise, get out."

|Splinter Cat
|[[File:splintercat.png]]
|A sudden movement in the shadows catches your attention. You notice a feline-shaped creature staring at you as if it is ready to jump.
When you approach, the cat relaxes its muscles, abandoning the plan to hunt you down. You notice its back is covered with strange, sharp spikes, reminding you of a hedgehog. Its tail is swaying back and forth slowly. The spikes on the creature's body aren't long but you wouldn't like to have a closer encounter with them. Suddenly, the cat decides to shorten the safe distance between you and sits in front of you.

|Squonk
|[[File:squonk.png]]
|A sorry-looking lump of wrinkly skin with warts and moles meets your gaze. Its eyes are sad, and tears stream silently down its face.
The creature is staring at the ground, ears drooping and looking like its mere existence is weighing it down. It's making small mewling noises as tears run down its face. It's crying so much that the ground at its feet is damp, and everytime it moves it leaves an easy trail to follow. Maybe you can try to cheer it up somehow?
|"Oh, hello...you seem nice. Will you...help me? I'm too sad to do much on my own."
|For once, the sad creature doesn't seem so sad. Its face still droops and its ears are hung low, but it's crouched down and staring at a nearby flower. It seems fascinated by it, and while there are still tears rolling down its face, they aren't flowing as quickly as before. It huffs and makes a gurgling noise, and you realise that it's trying to smell it.

|Swamp Stalker
|[[File:swampstalker.png]]
|A large, shadowy silhouette emerges suddenly in front of you. The creature stands tall on two legs, covered in matted, dark fur that clings to its muscular body.
The shape of the creature is rather familiar, resembling a large ape, but much more intimidating. Its movements are smooth and even graceful, which is definitely different and unexpected.
|"Are you lost, pup? I might help you find the way but only if you help me first."
|This creature is one with the swamp. You could even say that it embodies its essence, blending seamlessly with the surrounding vegetation despite its large body. Glowing eyes appear to penetrate your soul as you approach. You'll probably never get used to it.
|"Back already? It seems that I underestimated you, and you have some skills. I will keep that in mind when thinking about the next task for you."

|A familiar long snout with pointy ears and rough, coarse fur shoves into your face rather abruptly. The creature it belongs to makes you think it might be some kind of wolf.
It has a long tail, and its body is thin and wiry with oddly long toes. It sniffs you up and down, as if gaining information. You don't have to even attempt to smell the creature; its stench crosses your nose every time it passes you. It smells muggy and damp and of something more sinister, but you can't be sure.

The creature walks in a strange shimmy pattern as it navigates the world backwards. You notice its cat-like ears swivel back and forth as it moves, as if using them to listen as it moves. It seems to manage well, despite its odd movement.
|"Oh, you there. You're capable aren't you? I have need of your forward-thinking ways."
|The Teakettler is curled up, looking almost peaceful. As it snores, a faint whistling sound comes from its nose and gentle tendrils of steam curl through the air. With a snort it shakes itself awake, fixing you with a curious gaze.

Picking a sharpened scale from its spiky head, the monster begins to pick its teeth. Tiny foreign objects flick out, and you struggle to watch as you wonder what on earth the creature could have eaten.
|"What have we here? A sniveling pup come to worship me? Very well, complete some tasks for me and I'll consider myself sufficiently worshiped."

The shaggy, thick fur of the creature is covered with tiny, dried leaves and pieces of tree bark. It uses its mouth just like an anteater, looking for insects and eating them with its long tongue. It appears as though nothing could ruin its dedication, and it is completely absorbed.
|"Greetings! I wasn't expecting anyone here, but I'm glad to see you. There are some things that need to be done, and I won't be able to do everything myself. The condition of this world is worsening. We must work together."

The more you focus on the being, the more details you can spot. Their natural body armour reminds you of an insect but they're far from that. Even when you get used to how they look, their presence still makes you feel anxious and uneasy. This creature doesn't feel right and something about them is alien to the core. Your instinct tells you to run away but an oddly calming voice speaks to you by your name directly in your head. You don't even truly hear it...you feel it.
|"Fear not! We need your cooperation in order to cease this madness. This world's natural balance is in danger. Will you assist us?"
|The strange being is still there, waiting on the frozen plains. They don't scare you now and you feel safe despite the weird aura surrounding them. You would really like to know more about them but an odd feeling makes you think that it could be too much for your mind to comprehend.

|Wampus Cat
|[[File:wampuscat.png]]
|At first glance, the creature doesn't differ much from any other wild cat you've encountered so far. That is until you spot it has an additional pair of limbs, apparently fully functional.
While the extra pair of legs is shorter, the creature uses them naturally and you start to wonder if such a thing could make you better at hunting. The cat's glowing eyes meet yours when it catches you staring at its additional limbs. The sight of its sharp claws suggest that it's probably best to be careful not to anger it.
|"Are you here to stare at me like that or will you do something useful for a change?"
|Wampus cat rests in a comfortable spot on the soft grass and minds its own business, licking its paws. It doesn't seem to care much about your presence now that it's used to it, but you can see the hint of tension in its movements. It's way more interested in the results of your work than in you.

Welcome to the 2024 Cataclysms event!
While this event is upcoming and ongoing, we're working hard to keep up with new information. We apologize if there's anything missing, but feel free to let us know if you find anything that you think we should add!


The land you know is changing drastically, devastated by daily disasters. Fear is palpable in every animal that inhabits this place along with you...and strange creatures have emerged from the havoc, intentions unclear.



The Cataclysms event is a recurring event happening every August and lasting the whole month. The event begins at 00:00 on August 1st and ends at 23:59 on August 31st.

Event Basics

Event Basics

This event's primary focus is on exploring and questing. You'll notice frequent changes to the normal explore map and new encounters everywhere you go, all while completing tasks for the mysterious Cryptids!


This event has an exclusive currency, Cryptid Scales, which are obtained through exploring and completing Cryptid tasks. Cryptid Scales can be exchanged in the event shop for exclusive items!


Frequently-Asked Questions

Frequently-Asked Questions

What can I do to be best prepared for this event?


Advancement in this event is highly affected by having multiple biomes unlocked. Try to avoid retiring your lead wolf too near the start of this event to prevent biome loss, as retiring your lead wolf leaves you with only three biomes open. If you don’t have the whole map explored, try to scout as many biomes as possible before August. Being able to explore in as many biomes as possible will be very helpful as you'll be able to discover many more cryptids!


Achievements

Achievements

Alongside this event comes 16 achievements you can earn from discovering cryptids! Once an achievement is unlocked, it's unlocked forever, regardless if new cryptids are added in a later run of the event. You can find these achievements on the Events tab of your Achievements page, which you can get to from your Profile page or the dropdown by your username. These achievements can only be earned during this event, so get them while you can! None of these achievements provide any reward, but marking them as complete can be satisfying!

Exploring

Exploring

In order to unlock event content, collect currency, and finish quests, you must explore. Due to the recent natural disasters, the local animals are in peril; there are a whole bunch of new explore encounters and creatures to find and help! Some of the new event explore encounters reward you with the event's currency, Cryptid Scales, but many of them just give you normal items such as toys and food.



New encounters will appear in every biome at all times of day, but you might notice a change in frequency alongside a new mechanic, disasters!


Disasters and Cataclysms

Disasters and Cataclysms

With natural disasters wrecking havoc daily, the explore map is frequently changing. With each disaster brings more animals in distress, but they also attract more cryptids to discover!



New warning icons will begin appearing in the biomes you've fully scouted to represent disasters, weather events which affect what you can find in each biome. There are two categories of disaster. Disasters are the basic and most frequent weather event, involving a more moderate storm or event. If taking a turn for the worst, a disaster can develop into a cataclysm, a stronger, more catastrophic event that brings great peril to the region.


The yellow triangle icon represents an ordinary disaster.
The black and orange triangle represents a cataclysm.


When exploring in a biome, you can see if a disaster is currently occurring with the banner above the explore menu. Expanding this menu will display a recent disaster log for the biome.



Every 15 minutes, the disaster status of every biome will roll to change. This occurs at the same time every hour. For example, disasters are rolled at the following times: 00:15, 00:30, 00:45, and 1:00. There are three outcomes that can occur every time this roll takes place. The disaster could dissipate, meaning that the biome will not have any disaster for the next 15 minutes. The disaster could also persist, meaning it will remain the same for the next 15 minutes. Otherwise, the disaster could evolve into a cataclysm, with the possible cataclysm depending on which disaster it originated from.


Disaster Effects

Disaster Effects

In addition to adding new art and flavor text to each biome, disasters also increase the chances of finding event content! During a disaster, cryptids and animals in distress are more likely to be encountered. During a cataclysm, this chance is increased even more.


Possible Disasters and Cataclysms

Possible Disasters and Cataclysms

There are 28 possible disasters and cataclysms to encounter. Some are biome-specific while others can be encountered anywhere. Below is a catalogue of every disaster and cataclysm with information about which biomes it appears in, how it can behave, and what flavor text might be associated with it.

Anticyclone


Disaster		 This disaster can evolve into a Perfect Storm cataclysm
The weather feels abnormal when it's so heavy and silent. Walking through this milky fog is unreal and seems like a dream. The only thing you can hear are your own steps and breath.


Blizzard


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Diamond Dust or Thundersnow
The snow is coming down so thick that it clogs your fur and makes your steps feel heavy. You can't see in front of your nose, and press on blindly.
Cloudburst


Disaster		 Information needed
Grasslands, Deciduous Forest: One minute the river is flowing normally, and the next its overflowing its banks as the rain comes down heavy and fast. You're nearly swept away by the flood, and it's a struggle to reach higher ground.


Mountains: A rapid and massive flood destroys everything in its way, leaving very little time to react. You know that it will subside eventually but while the current is so strong, you must hide somewhere safe.


Rainforest: Thick sludge crosses your path and begins to cover your paws. Yuck! You leap away, and watch the slow-moving stream of...well, there's certainly mud involved, but maybe it's best if you don't know what the rest of the unidentifiable debris caught up in it is. You watch in fascination from a safe distance for a while before turning away.


Derecho

Dry Thunderstorm


Disaster		 This disaster can evolve into a Hurricane cataclysm
No unique flavor text


Dust Storm


Disaster		 This disaster can evolve into a Drought disaster or Torridness cataclysm
One minute the air is clear and the next you're swallowed by a thick cloud of dust and sand. You're unable to see, and with every breath you hack and cough. You do your best to move forward, hoping to find shelter.


You see a mountain of dust and sand in the distance, growing and coming in your direction. A strong wind blows the dirt right into your eyes as the sky turns a sickly yellow, and you're forced to stay put for a while.


Earthquake
This disaster can appear in any biome

Disaster This disaster can evolve into a Volcano Eruption cataclysm
You hear a low, rumbling noise that sounds like a distant storm, but it's louder with every step. You decide to turn back and take a different path.


You pick your way through some brush, the earthquakes causing you to be more cautious on your feet. You approach a ledge that you're sure wasn't here before, and see a gaping slash through the ground. Well, that can't be good.


Coniferous Forest and Riparian Woodland: At first glance, you're not quite sure what's approaching but you watch in fascination as the wall of water grows and moves. You're on the edge of panic when you notice that the water level is rapidly rising. It's the biggest wave you've ever seen! There will be no way to escape if you're in its way, and you take off as fast as you can in the other direction.


Mountains: Rumbling beneath your paws alerts you to danger as you trek across the snow. You look up the mountain and see a wall of snow barreling toward you. Run!


Grasslands: You feel a rumbling beneath your feet. As you look down, the ground starts to split between your paws. You quickly sidestep, and watch from a safe distance as the ground splits apart.


El Niño


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Monsoon
No unique flavor text


Fireball


Disaster		 This disaster can evolve into a Meteor Strike cataclysm
A distant, flaming orb is burning through the night sky. The sight is both mysterious and unsettling. The object does not pose any threat to you for now, but it has to come down at some point. You hope you're far away from wherever it lands.


Firestorm


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Drought
Fire surrounds you, blocking you in on every side. It happened so fast that any route of escape was swallowed up before you could act. You look around wildly for a way out, and with luck, a small gap in the wall of flame opens and you don't hesitate. Your fur gets a bit scorched, but you're safe. Phew!


Great Heatwave
This disaster can appear in the Tundra and Glacier

Disaster This disaster can evolve into a Rotten Ice cataclysm
Information needed


Green Fireball


Disaster		 Information needed
The strange, green glow that lights up the sky looks almost unreal. A silent, bright ball of green fire is flying soundlessly across the sky. You try to follow it for a while but suddenly, in a blink of an eye, it's gone.


Hailstorm


Disaster		 This disaster can evolve into Hurricane or Tornado cataclysms
You look up in confusion as balls of ice fall from the sky and hit you painfully. The weather is warm, not cold, so why is there ice? Is this some sort of new phenomenon? You decide to take shelter until it passes.


Traveling through rain, snow, or even a severe storm is not as dangerous as dealing with huge ice balls falling from the sky. Even the smallest ones are painful. The larger ones will leave you seriously wounded if you're not careful.


Heatburst
This disaster can appear in any biome

Disaster Information needed
A sudden, unexpected wave of unbearable heat slams into you. The temperature increases so fast that it makes you feel dizzy. It was so nice just a moment ago, and now you struggle to focus and move forward.


A scorching hot wind buffets you and you feel as if you're being cooked alive. The air was mild just a moment ago, and now the heat is unbearable. You search in vain for a cool place to lay down.


Hurricane


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Derecho or Hailstorm
Walking through such violent wind is nearly impossible, not to mention extremely dangerous. You feel the increasing strength of each gust of wind pushing you back. The heavy mass of dark clouds over your head is a clear sign that this is only the beginning.


The intensity of the rain and wind is so high that you're not sure if it's the wind that nearly flattens you, or the sideways sheets of rain. The howling in your ears is relentless and you struggle to make your way forward.


Ice Storm


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Snow Squall
While the shiny, ice-covered plants, rocks, and ground look somewhat otherworldly, it's not a pleasant walk. Ice feels too hard and sharp at times and the freezing rain accumulates on your fur. Better to get out of here as fast as possible.


Locust Swarm


Disaster		 Information needed
No unique flavor text


Meteor Strike


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Fireball
At first, the bright point in the night sky looked like a big star but it is growing larger and brighter as it crosses the sky. For a brief moment, the object looks like a second sun that passes above your head with a hiss. Wherever it will land, there will be massive destruction.


Monsoon


Disaster		 This disaster can evolve into El Niño or Tropical Storm cataclysms
No unique flavor text


Perfect Storm


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Anticyclone or Thunderstorm
The severity of the storm that rampages through the land is something you've never experienced. It's as if every large storm came together to form a massive, deadly event that leaves nothing but destruction behind. You press on, straining against the wind and rain.


Every storm is scary to a degree but this one is beyond comprehension. The merciless wind tugs at your fur and whizzes past your ears. You can't hear your thoughts over the roar of the thunder. While most storms leave the land refreshed, this one looks as if will destroy everything.


The trees around you rattle ominously and you are smacked squarely in the face with a clump of leaves. You shake them away, spitting out their gross, damp taste from your mouth. Blasted trees!


Rotten Ice


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Great Heatwave
No unique flavor text


Snow Squall


Disaster		 This disaster can evolve into a Ice Storm cataclysm
No unique flavor text


Storm Surge


Disaster		 Information needed
Without warning, you are in the midst of a stampede of wildlife of all shapes and sizes. They run in a panic, ignoring you as they bolt away from some unknown danger. You wait until they pass, and strain your eyes to see the cause of their fear. Water is rushing over the ground from the coastline and covering everything in several feet of water. Looks like everyone else had the right idea--run!


A sudden, unidentified sound makes your pelt prickle with unease. You don't have to wait long to see the source of the noise. A massive flood-like wave is rushing toward you and now you realize the sound you heard was the crashing sound of raging water. You may have a chance to get away if you leave now!

Disaster		 This disaster can evolve into a Blizzard cataclysm

Thunderstorm


Disaster		 This disaster can evolve into Perfect Storm and Superstorm cataclysms
No unique flavor text


Tornado


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Derecho and Hailstorm
You see a long, snaking cloud reach towards the ground, flinging up a cloud of dust. It's far away, but you watch in horror as it rips up old trees with thick roots and devastates the land. It's so powerful! Sharp wind tugs at your fur, and you quickly move on before the storm has a chance to hurt you, too.


The abnormal shade of the sky is a warning sign of danger. Dark clouds form a whirling funnel right in front of your eyes. Even though it looks like a far-away phenomenon, it will reach you in no time if you don't find a place to hide.


Torridness


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Dust Storm
It's as if all moisture has been sapped from the air. Heat waves roll across your back, and your hair feels full of static. Your mouth, nose, and eyes are so dry that it renders normal actions such as swallowing, breathing, and blinking nearly impossible. Is this what dying feels like?


Tropical Storm


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Monsoon
No unique flavor text


Volcano Eruption


Cataclysm		 This cataclysm can evolve from Earthquake
You feel tremors and swelling ground under your paws. Suddenly, the nearby mountain seems to explode in a fountain of fire! The sound of falling rocks and the hissing of fire fills the air. Dark smoke and volcanic gases start to consume the area, causing hot winds and a thick layer of dust to settle on everything.


The ground begins to shake ominously, and you hear a loud explosion. Looking around wildly, you can't see a thing--the sky is glowing, and thick ash is falling and quickly obscuring everything in view. Your pawsteps are nearly silent as you run away, leaving pawprints in the ash.


Explore Encounters

Explore Encounters


Woah... that's a lot of explore encounters! Click here to view them all on a separate page.


Cryptids

Cryptids

Strange creatures have been appearing recently... and it's unclear whether they're the cause of the havoc, or if they originated from it. All month, you'll encounter Cryptids while exploring normally. They can be found in every biome at every time of day, but the cryptids you'll find will differ based on the biome you're exploring it.


There are 108 total cryptids, with 9 found in each biome.


You will be notified on your explore page when you have discovered a new Cryptid. After this, you will be able to visit the Cryptid on the Cryptid Dens page, under the Event section.




Cryptid Factions

Cryptid Factions

All cryptids are broken into one of three factions; Independent, Kinfolk, or The Merged. Each faction has its own agenda, though goals often unclear, and their rivalries are clear.


The Independent are a neutral faction, some tending to lean more towards Kinfolk or The Merged in certain instances.


Kinfolk are kind and wish for the land to heal. They do not seek fights with local wildlife.


The Merged wish to further their own goals by any means necessary, and they are not opposed to cruelty. They fight relentlessly with the Kinfolk.


Throughout the event, you'll gain Reputation with each faction, which will influence what you are able to purchase from the shop. Only shop items corresponding with the faction you have the most reputation with will appear available for purchase. You need at least 100 reputation with at least one faction in order for items to appear in the shop, additional milestones of 300 and 500 to purchase rarer items. You can view each item available in each faction's shop in the Event Shops section of this page.


You will gain and lose reputation through completing quests for cryptids. Reputation does not decay over rollovers and is not affected by cryptids you battle while exploring.


Cryptid Quests

Cryptid Quests

After you have discovered a cryptid, you can visit them on the Cryptid Den page. Here, they will greet you, and request your help with a quest. Cryptid quests help you gain reputation with certain factions, which is used to unlock shop items.


You can take 24 quests per rollover, but only 1 quest from each cryptid per rollover. You cannot do all 24 quests with one cryptid, so you must have at least 24 unique cryptids unlocked to reach this maximum.


The first cryptid quest you take every rollover will reward +50 reputation with the cryptid's associated faction, and -5 reputation with the other two factions. Every quest after this, until your next rollover, will reward +10 reputation with the faction you took it with, and -5 reputation with the other two factions. So, if your first quest of the day was with an Independent cryptid, you would gain +50 Independent reputation and -5 Kinfolk and The Merged reputation. Then, if your second quest of the day was with a Kinfolk cryptid, you would only gain +10 Kinfolk reputation and -5 Independent and The Merged reputation.


Each quest will also grant 5 Cryptid Scales.


Each cryptid has a separate pool of possible quests depending on their home biome and faction. You can view all possible cryptid quests in the All Cryptids list further down on this page. The tasks that cryptids have you complete, besides turning in items, will always be accomplishable in the biome you found the cryptid in. For example, if a Prairie cryptid asks you to battle a certain enemy, the enemy will always be able to be found in the Prairie.


You may also choose to skip a quest with a cryptid for 10 SC. Skipping a quest does not grant any reward, and prevents you from being able to take another quest with that cryptid until your next rollover.


Event Shops

Event Shops

This month's shop is run by a mysterious visitor and avid collector, Aurakai the Merfolk! At their shop, Aurakai's Brokerage, you can exchange Cryptid Scales for items associated with your highest-reputation faction.



Aurakai

A Merfolk stretches out lazily on a rocky ledge, trailing their tail in the water and making patterns. They roll over and observe you with an intense gaze, and you find yourself drawn to them by their odd beauty. Their sly smile is so inviting…

Suddenly, a finned hand yanks hard on your tail, and you stumble back from the ledge with a gasp. You nearly fell into the water!

"Now, now, don't go drowning just yet. Honestly, you mammals are too easily manipulated," they tut. Their voice is a mix of melodic tones that rise and fall, and it's surprisingly quite nice to listen to.

"My name is Aurakai. I like collecting things, and I'm in need of Cryptid Scales. Care to trade?"

Merfolk

They/Them


The items that will be available to you in the shop depend on which faction you have aligned with. Aligning with a faction takes 100 reputation. After you have earned at least 100 reputation with at least one faction, their exclusive shop items will appear for you. If you have more than 100 reputation with multiple factions, only items from the faction with the highest reputation will show in your shop.


Tiers of the shop open after the community has beaten and helped a certain number of cryptids. This is determined on a site-wide basis. Everyone unlocks each tier at the same time. Tier 1 is unlocked after 100,000 cryptids quests have been completed and cryptid battles have been won. Tier 2 unlocks after 250,000 of the same, and Tier 3 unlocks after 350,000.


What do Dingbat Pathfinders do? Are they worth buying?

A: When using a Dingbat Pathfinder on a scout discovering a new biome, it will increase the amount of biome that your scout discovers by 10%. For example, if your scout typically discovers 10% of the biome, they will discover 20% with a Dingbat Pathfinder.


The Dingbat Pathfinder can make scouting easier biomes very quick, and can help a lot in the most challenging biomes!


If using a Dingbat Pathfinder on a scout being sent to rescout a biome, the scout will bring back one additional amusement item.

Cryptid Quest Quick Reference

Cryptid Quest Quick Reference

Each cryptid has three unique quests, affected by their location and faction. We'll list every cryptid alphabetically below alongside their associated quests.


Grouse Tip!
Did you know? Any explore-based quest that a cryptid gives you will be completable in the cryptid's home biome! So, if a cryptid asks you to battle a specific enemy, head back to the same biome that you found the cryptid in, and you'll be able to find the enemy there to. If you've forgotten where you found the cryptid, don't worry, their home biome is labeled at the bottom of their Cryptid Dens page.

Cryptids Detailed

Cryptids Detailed

Agropelter

Agropelter The Merged

The gangly creature before you is shaggy and green and looks like a monkey. Multiple red eyes like a bug stare into your soul.


Gripped tightly in its fists are two rather large chunks of a tree branch. It slams them on the ground as if tenderising them, then takes a large chunk out of one with its sharp teeth. Was it eating wood?


"Need something? No? Well I do, so you're going to help me."

Questing
Agropelter is perched up in a nearby tree, with a chunk of wood in its hand. It stands poised to throw it, and you watch as a squirrel gets too close. With a loud thump the branch hits the squirrel and it stumbles away, dazed. The creature looks at you with a sly, toothy grin.

"You sure show up a lot for someone who claims not to need anything. Ready to do something else for me?"

"I've eaten all of the best branches around here. Bring me more if you don't want me to get hangry. 5 x large branches will do nicely."

"I'm in need of supplies. Bring me 2 x healing salves and wipe that annoyed look off of your face. You're helping me whether you like it or not. Begone!"

"Those Kinfolk are a nuisance. They seem to multiply faster than a tree grows branches. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and make it quick. That should put a nice dent in their numbers."
• Give 5x Large Branch • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"I'm not saying you're slow, but well... you're slow. At least you got it done. Come back tomorrow."

Ahuizotl

Ahuizotl Kinfolk

Big, round eyes in a fluffy mottled pelt make this creature almost inviting to approach. It raises its tail and waves the paw at you.


You approach and stare long and hard at the tail that has a long-fingered paw as casually as you have four of your own. The tail brushes back and forth over the ground behind it, and stops briefly to pick up a small bug and pop it in its mouth. The tail-paw reaches for you next, and you back up a step.


"Hello there, large friend. I need a hand. Well...another one, that is. Care to assist?"

Questing
Watching in fascination, you see the creature is sitting grooming itself without a care in the world. It's using its small paws to wash its face and pick things out of its belly fur. Meanwhile, the tail with the paw is picking stuff off of its back...and is it giving it a massage too? Either way, that must be "handy" to have another hand!

"More hands, I need more! Ah...help, I mean. I need help. You'll do it, won't you?"

"I'm having trouble finding things to make a soft nest. Bring me 3 x ____ to line my nest with. I don't mind adding a bit of colour, either!"

"I bet the fish around here would make for a fine meal. I'm picky though, I hope you don't mind. Catch me an uncommon fish in the fishing game to satisfy my hunger. I'm sure you'll have no problem!"

"The Merged are tireless in their hunting of Kinfolk like me. I'm far too small to pose any threat. If you can defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids I'd feel much safer staying here."
• Give 3x local items* • Catch 1x uncommon fish • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

* Exact required items will be randomized between Aloe, Kava, Large Leaf, Owl Talon, Parrot Feather, Pineapple Leaf, Tortoise Shell, and Toucan Feather

"Yes, yes! Perfect! You're a good one. I'll get you to help me again tomorrow if you want to come back."

Akhlut

Akhlut Kinfolk

It takes a few seconds to realise that this creature isn't a dream or hallucination. It is a cross between a wolf and a fish or a whale with a long fin on its back and a tail adapted to the depths of the ocean.


The dual nature of this being makes it a bridge between the ocean and the land. You feel a twinge of jealousy deep inside your heart. You'd like to swim freely and hunt underwater, too. The ocean wolf smiles slightly, noticing your genuine fascination, and approaches you with a friendly attitude.


"It's rare to meet someone by accident here. Or maybe it's not an accident. Will you help me with something?"

Questing
You see the Akhlut coming out of the ocean from afar and it makes you wonder if there are any disadvantages to being an underwater wolf. There aren't any signs of this creature's pack anywhere, so it's likely either a lone wolf or it's driven by different needs. You definitely have more questions than time to spare.

"I hope you're ready to work. With your help, we can complete these tasks a lot earlier than I estimated. Let's get going."

"There is a major task awaiting you but you need to prepare for it a bit more. Bring me 2 x healing salves. What? I know it's not a challenge. I just ran out of them."

"You look strong but I need proof of your skills before we work together. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids and report back to me. It doesn't matter how you do it as long as you win."

"Now, this is the work I needed you for. There is a creature I need to eliminate. It invades my territory and tries to chase me off. I need to find it and take it by surprise. This bastard knows me already. Find it and get rid of it."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids • Find the giant squid in the Glacier

"I knew you'd do well. Will you stay around a little longer? Come back tomorrow and we'll talk about new things that need to be done."

Alaskan Tiger

Alaskan Tiger Kinfolk

A majestic, large feline stares at you calmly as if he was expecting you. Elongated canines can be seen even when the cat's mouth is closed.


You hesitate before taking the first step. The snow-white fur is deceivingly beautiful. Everything about this creature looks deadly and sharp. You could be killed within seconds, but the tiger doesn't seem to be hostile. A strange expression crosses its face, and it appears to be trying to smile.


"The world will be beyond repair if we don't act quickly. Will you help me?"

Questing
The Alaskan Tiger looks at you with hope in its eyes upon seeing you back. It seems as though it has been eagerly awaiting for you to return. It rises to its paws and shakes out its fur, and you notice the fur looks softer and more glossy. Deadly or no, cats always have good grooming habits.

"The more we talk, the less time we have. There's more to do."

"In these dire times, we need as many supplies as possible. It's usually too late once you realise that you need a potent medicine or nutritious food and there is no time left. Bring me 3 x ____."

"You look like a good hunter who knows this area. I would like to see how well you can perform in such uneasy conditions as we have now. Complete 3 hunts."

"There is no worse opponent than those Merged scum roaming around. As long as they are here, we won't bring any balance back. From now on, this will be your responsibility, too. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids and we'll see how tough they think they are after that."
• Give 3x items* • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

* Exact required medicines will be randomized between Meat Chunks [Large], Medicine: Antidote, Medicine: Infection Balm, and Medicine: Influenza Cure

"You really proved your skills last time. Come back tomorrow for another task."

Altamaha-ha

Altamaha-ha The Merged

Large and reptilian-like, this fearsome creature glares down at you with eyes full of malice. A hiss comes from its mouth and you hesitate for a moment.


The creature sprawls in the river, blocking the flow of the water and quite clearly not giving a damn. Fish frantically try to find a way around, and with an evil grin they are snatched up and swallowed whole.


"Oh look, another land-dweller comes to beg for mercy. Well I won't give it if your performance is anything but perfect. Either agree or be eaten, hmm?"

Questing
Altamaha-ha sits very still on the shore, tail raised as if to strike. Suddenly its tail smacks the water harshly and you see a fish float to the surface, unsure if it's dead or just stunned. Either way Altamaha-ha lifts its tail and watches the fish float down river.

"You're a smart one to come back before I can hunt you down; it would be a waste of my precious time, otherwise. Let's get on with it."

"I want something truly unique and spectacular. Fish up an exquisite uncommon fish in the fishing game for me and bring it back here so that I may sample it."

"Is the hunting around here decent? Complete 2 hunts and report back to me where prey is located; tracking is a dreadfully boring business, so you can do it for me."

"It's far too popular around here. I don't need anyone sniffing around my business. Go and defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids so that I can go about my business in peace."
• Catch one uncommon fish • Complete 2x hunts • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids

"Fine, fine. It's a perfect performance...for now. Return tomorrow and see if you can replicate it."

Augerino

Augerino The Merged

A large, worm-like creature rests in the warm sand. Its body is abnormally twisted but its movements are surprisingly smooth.


You pad closer, and you feel observed. While you can't see the giant worm's mouth, you can clearly hear its voice. It resembles a dry, malicious hiss. You feel an urge to take a step back when it gets closer to you.


"What a perfect coincidence. I need someone like you. Interested?"

Questing
The Augerino approaches you soundlessly as you cross into its territory. You can feel the tension in the air. It stretches itself up like a snake ready to strike. It stays like that, silently waiting and watching...or is it wondering how best to make prey out of you?

"You again...good, good. I have another plan. Do you want to join in?"

"I need the energy to dig underground and expand my territory. Bring me juicy, soft meat. 3 x full use carcasses will be fine."

"I have a sworn enemy in this area. It's one of the Kinfolk weaklings. Chase this pest away and don't waste any time. Defeat 1 x Cactus Cat."

"Lots of other animals are roaming around my lair. Too many for my taste. They annoy me. Get rid of them! Defeating 1 x ____ should do the trick."
• Give 3x full-use carcasses • Defeat 1x Cactus Cat • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Cougar, Frenzied Razorback, Golden Eagle, Mexican Wolf

Axehandle Hound

Axehandle Hound Kinfolk

This creature looks more or less like a regular canine to you, but its body has so many strange angles and you're quite certain it's no ordinary hound.


The movements of the creature are too smooth and natural for it to be ill, so its body shape does not appear to be the result of any kind of mutation. You approach closer, feeling a sense of familiarity after the surprising first impression.


"Do you have some time to spare? I think I need some help. Nothing too difficult, I promise."

Questing
The more you think about this being, the less strange it becomes to you. Supernatural or not, you share a few things in common. The creature is waiting for you, nibbling on a stick with a relaxed expression.

"Your help is priceless. I'm sure you're ready for upcoming tasks. I don't know what I'd do without you. So... will you agree to do more?"

"I tried to hunt but it seems that other animals, or even our enemies, are taking all of the prey. Do you have something to share with me? 2 x full use carcasses of any kind will be enough, I think."

"We must hurry up before it's too late. Have you seen the damage around? What's worse, we can't predict anything. However, we can help as much as we can in the aftermath. Find and help 2 x distressed animals in explore."

"Not only in this forest, but the entire area is infested with the Merged and it really worries me. Find and defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids. No matter where you go, you will always come across one of those filthy bastards somewhere."
• Give 2x full-use carcasses • Help 2x distressed animals • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Just as I said, fast and easy, right? Come back tomorrow for another job!"

Ball-Tailed Cat

Ball-Tailed Cat Independent

A creature resembling a mountain lion is peering at you, waving its tail slowly back and forth. The large mass on the end of its tail resembles a ball, but you have a feeling it's not for playing with.


You approach the odd cat and it stretches languidly, as if showing off the muscles beneath its pelt. As it returns to a sitting position, it flicks its tail and lets the mass hit the ground with an audible thump. It appears to be testing your resolve. Its eyes glow an ominous green, and you feel slightly unnerved as you stare at the cat. Is it friendly, or does it hope to swing that heavy tail at your head?


"I suppose you'll do. Care to help me with something, pup?"

Questing
The cat is laying flat, as if thoroughly enjoying its time not doing anything and using you as its servant. It lifts its head and looks at you with a glare, as if disapproving that you're back to bother it.

"Well, let's get on with it, then. Are you here to help or not?"

"You're a big, strong wolf. I need to make a sturdy den. Bring me 5 x large rocks and make it quick. I don't like my time being wasted."

"This ground is rough and uncomfortable. I want to make a soft nest to rest in. Bring me 2 x nesting material."

"Hunting isn't easy here. Bring me something to eat. 3 x full use carcasses will do nicely."

Beaman

Beaman The Merged

The monster before you is unlike any you've seen before. It sort of resembles a wolf...and yet, its malevolent eyes speak of its true nature.


Beaman moves around as if its tracking prey, but you can't smell anything near by. It seems quite intent, and you're left puzzled. Is it just paranoid?


"You're so puny, how on earth do you survive? Luck? Whatever it is, I have need of it."

Questing
Without you around, Beaman has disappeared. Or has it? You cast your eyes around and lock in on a shadowy patch under a bush. Two blinking red eyes stare at you hungrily, and you feel your fur rise on your pelt as it steps from the shadows.

“Puny pup, back for more? Delightful. Be quicker this time, would you?"

"I'm in need of leaves. Don't question it, just bring me 5 x large leaves and be quick about it."

"If you're so good at surviving, prove it. Succeed in 2 hunts or don't show your puny face again.

"Time to do something about those nasty Kinfolk. Go and defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Complete 2x hunts • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

Beast of Bladenboro

Beast of Bladenboro The Merged

Glowing amber eyes look at you coldly from a creature as black as the shadows. Its bushy tail sweeps back and forth as you approach.


It resembles a lion, with a thick curly mane that not only covers its chest, but travels down its back in spiky tufts. Sharp white teeth snarl at you as you take a hesitant step forward, and you feel your pelt prickle with unease. You must tread carefully.


"What do you want, mangy? Hmm...you want to help, you say? Well, there's no shortage of work to be done. I'm sure you could be useful to me."

Questing
The beast stretches almost too casually, licking its paws and swiping them to groom the fur on its face. It's trying to give the appearance of ease and confidence, but you can see tension in its body. It was prepared for anything and on high alert. Amber eyes sharply watch your every move.

"Back again? You aren't afraid to get your paws dirty it seems. I have another task for you."

"A wolf like you surely has no issues hunting. Let's test your skills, shall we? Complete 3 hunts and don't come back until you're done. Don't worry about bringing back any prey, I suppose you can keep whatever you can find. I'm feeling generous today."

"The land seems to change so much from day to day and it's impossible for me to keep up. Complete 1 scouting mission and let me know if you find anything interesting."

"You've met those pesky Kinfolk, I'm sure. Always ruining my fun. Go defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and teach them a lesson. Make sure you win, too, or don't come back."
• Complete 3x hunts • Complete 1x scouting missions • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids

"I admit, you work quickly. Guess that means I need to think of something harder for you to do. Come back tomorrow."

Beast of Bray Road

Beast of Bray Road The Merged

Hideous and twisted, the wolf-like form in front of you only resembles a wolf in passing. Its gleaming red eyes and sharp teeth as it hunches over on two paws fill you with dread.


The Beast slinks around the clearing, its long, hunched strides making you think of a predator stalking prey. Something catches its attention and it lowers itself on all fours, sniffing the ground. It can move both ways? Yikes!


"A mortal! I used to be one, once. Dreadful and boring. Care to cure some of that boredom and help me with a few things?"

Questing
The creature doesn't seem to have a care in the world. It stretches out on the ground to its full length of several feet and throws its head back in a long howl. Shivers roll down your spine and as the creature turns and locks eyes with you, you know who the true apex predator is here.

"Are you small? You seem smaller than other wolves, but perhaps I'm just superior with my height. No matter; you're still useful. Let's get on with it."

"I can't find any food in this blasted land. You seem good at it. Give me 3 x full use carcasses. Surely you don't need all of the food you catch? You're so small!"

"I'm going to need more food before too long, so you may as well get busy. Complete 2 hunts and make it snappy."

"How on Earth do you ever get any hunting done? There's far too may predators here. Take down 2 x Kinfolk cryptids so that I can hunt more easily."
• Give 3x full-use carcasses • Complete 2x hunts • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

Beast of Busco

Beast of Busco Independent

The beast before you resembles a snapping turtle, but it's larger than any you've seen before. It turns its massive head and snaps its beak at you.


The reptile doesn't necessarily seem aggressive, but its size alone is enough for you to hesitate before moving closer. It seems to be sizing you up, wondering whether or not you are worth its time and energy. It's slow moving, but it doesn't seem to mind and appears to be quite content to watch the world pass by.


"I could make use of those paws of yours. Come closer, I won't bite. At least not hard..."

Questing
The sound of scraping and heavy movement reaches your ears as you get within sight of the beast. It's moving around, using its claws to kick up dirt and debris. What was it doing? It stops when it catches you staring and lets out a faint hissing noise.

"I didn't scare you off I see. You're made of strong stuff. Ready for your next task?"

"Moving is hard work, and I need suitable material to make a nest for my eggs. Yes, eggs–you're not the only thing that breeds around here. Bring me 2 x nesting material so that I can keep them safe."

"I'm starving but I don't feel like fishing for myself. This is where you come in, wolf. Go catch me an uncommon fish in the fishing game. They are a dime a dozen, so it shouldn't take you long, yes? Get going."

"There's a creature that looks like me that keeps skulking around. It poses a threat to me and my territory. Go chase it off, will you? I don't care how you do it, so long as it leaves for good."
• Give 2x Nesting Material • Catch 1x uncommon fish • Find the massive turtle in the Riparian Woodland

"Very good, your paws are swift indeed. Leave me be now and come back tomorrow."

Belled Buzzard

Belled Buzzard The Merged

A grizzled old buzzard glares at you with beady eyes. The belly around its neck rings ominously.


The bird crouches on the ground, wings half spread out. It appears hunched over, like it's old and the weight of the world is weighing it down. Everytime it moves, the bell chimes with an eerie sound, and the hair on your back prickles and stands on end. This bird means death.


"What are you looking at, ugly? Scared? Good. Now do as I say before my patience runs out."

Questing
With its claws clacking on the ground, the buzzard jumps awkwardly across the ground as it chases vermin in the grass. It doesn't appear to be hunting them, exactly...it's chasing them as if it's having fun, bobbing its head back and forth to make the bell ring as it purposefully nearly misses a mouse just to scare it. It turns toward you looking entirely too pleased with itself.

"You're back. Ready for your next task? I'll make it worth your while again."

"Show me how strong you and your pack are. Complete 3 hunts. I don't associate with weaklings. This will prove your strength."

"I can see much from high up, and travel long distances with ease. You're land-bound, which makes you inferior, however I'm willing to give you a shot. Let's see how you compare. Send out 1 scouting mission."

• Complete 3x hunts • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 2x Kinfolk or Independent cryptids (randomized)

Bessie

Bessie Kinfolk

Like a cross between a snake and a fish, the glittering, scaled being before you observes you with a curious gaze. It appears friendly.


It sits loosely curled around itself on the ground, shifting back and forth occasionally. It glistens, and smells quite fishy. The creature is huge, and you're certain it could make prey out of you if it wanted. But its eyes are kind, and it leans closer to you with nostrils flaring, taking in your scent.


"Furry thing, aren't you? I bet your fur is soft. I need help from a landwalker like you. Won't you help me?"

Questing
The sea creature has stretched itself out along the riverbank, letting the water run over its scales and through its fins. It's peering closely at the water and sitting still, as if watching for movement. Suddenly it dunks its head down, and comes up with a small, wriggling fish and swallows it easily. It notices you watching and waves a tail fin at you in greeting.

"You came back! Thank goodness. I have more for you to do. Are you up for it?"

"This land is in turmoil and all animals are suffering. There is no shortage of disasters occurring. Please, go find 2 x distressed animals in explore and lend them your aid before it's too late."

"As time goes on, more of those evil beings from The Merged keep appearing. Go fight 2 x of the Merged cryptids to show that their kind is not welcome here."

"The water here doesn't feel as clean as it should–something is wrong, and we must find out what it is. Find the source and report back to me."
• Help 2x distressed animals • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids • Find the geyser in the Riparian Woodland

Blood Sucker

Blood Sucker The Merged

An ill-looking creature emerges from the shadows, snarling at you. Its appearance contradicts the level of bloodthirst this being seems to have.


A scrawny body with almost naked skin, covered with warts and patches of thin fur, is a sight that would evoke pity more than anything else. You change your mind upon observing the creature more closely. The mouth is full of thin, sharp teeth and it looks ready to jump at you.


"You are here for a reason. Want to sort something out for me or not?"

Questing
The creature jumps out of the bushes when it hears you coming. Despite knowing you already, it still growls and snorts at you whenever it speaks. It probably doesn't know any other emotion than hate.

"You again? Very well, there is more stuff to deal with. Ready?"

"I have a taste for the blood of something big. Bring me 3 x full use carcasses so I will have a way to kill the time when I wait for you."

"I've just finished my latest meal. It was good but not filling at all. I need you to do something for me. That's what you are here for, after all. Defeat 1 x ____. I'll take care of them when you're done."

Quest flavor text
• Give 3x full-use carcasses • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Cougar, Frenzied Razorback, Ocelot, Whitetail Buck • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"If I were your size, I'd have done it a lot better. But you're learning fast. Come back tomorrow for the next job."

Bloody Bones

Bloody Bones The Merged

You can't believe that something that looks like a rotting carcass can even be alive, let alone deadly, but your gut tells you to be careful.


While the skinny, distorted body of the creature looks weak, its lidless eyes embedded in a skull-like face are glowing with bloodthirst. If your worst thoughts could take a form, they would look like this abomination. When it focuses its gaze on you, you start to feel anxious.


"Done admiring me? Follow my orders and I may let you live a little longer."

Questing
Protruding bones visible under a thin layer of dirty skin look as if they could pierce the creature's flesh easily. It's almost painful to look at it but it affects you less than during the first encounter. Hissing breath shows the creature's impatience when you come back. Better to have good news.

"I'm starting to like this. I'll let you prove your skills before I decide what to do with you. Ready to get to work?"

"Bring me 5 x ____ so I won't have to waste my time. If it's not too difficult for you, then stop staring at me and move!"

“I'm getting hungry. Bring me 3 x full use carcasses before my patience runs out. I don't care where it's from and how you obtain it. If you don't hurry, I may eat you instead."

"You want to join me? Amusing idea but...fine. Show me what you are made of. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and convince me."
• Give 5x bone items* • Give 3x full-use carcasses • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary Independent

A blood-spattered figure steps out of a ghostly mirror. Where did the mirror come from?


Bloody Mary looks at herself in the mirror, admiring her appearance. Or was she seeing visions? You move closer, but she turns and blocks your gaze from the mirror.


"The future spoke to me and told me you were coming. I've prepared some special tasks just for you."

Questing
The mirror stands alone, with no sign of the woman. You inspect all around it, but she is nowhere to be found. As you sniff the air, a hand reaches out from the mirror and taps you on your back. With a yelp you leap into the air, and you hear laughter coming from the mirror.

"Welcome back, future wolf. I still have need of you."

"I need to stabilize my mirror. Bring me 5 x large rocks so that it doesn't fall over and break."

"Regretfully this form gets injured rather easily. Get me 2 x healing salves to have on hand."

"You know what I like? Violence. Go defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids so that I can enjoy their misery."
• Give 5x Large Rock • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Good. Rest up and return tomorrow...like I know you will."

Bogeyman

Bogeyman The Merged

A fur-less, upright being that's closer to a skeleton than a man shrieks at you and reveals a maw of razor sharp teeth. A long finger gestures at you to come closer.


The monster paces around with an uneven, hunched gait with a shadowy substance pouring off of it. It has no smell and seems to dissipate into the air, but your stomach lurches uneasily. It turns and stares you down with its mouth gaping wide and gnashing as if it would like to eat you for lunch.


"Who're you, furry? You're warm...you mortals move so easily. Help me or I'll decide that you're a nice, tasty snack."

Questing
The Bogeyman is very still, staring over the landscape with a blank expression. It doesn't even twitch as you sit and watch it, and you're curious if it's even real. As you move closer, its head suddenly jerks around and each of its body parts comes to life as it turns to face you. Creepy.

"Back for more I see. Either you're daft or you're very daft. Doesn't matter which to me, just do as I ask."

"Everyone has to eat, we're all a part of the food chain. Yes, even me, furry. Don't look so surprised. Bring me 3 x full use carcasses. You're rather helpful and I'd hate to eat you instead. Off you go."

"Bah! Do those Kinfolk never go away? No matter how many times I threaten them, they keep coming back. Go defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids to show them I mean business. Any will do, just make sure they get the message."

"This cold, barren land is horrid. I feel so exposed out here; how do you live here? I need a place to inhabit, and you're going to find me something suitable. Explore the area and don't come back until you've found something."
• Give 3x full-use carcasses • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids • Find the abandoned house in the Tundra

"You actually completed the task? Impressive. I won't eat you...for now. Come back later for more."

Buntail

Buntail Kinfolk

You really can't decide if this strange creature is a big rabbit or a really small deer. Paws and hooves together are so confusing that you can't stop staring.


Frozen in fear, ready to dart away, it checks all avenues of escape. Finally, it risks looking straight into your eyes. You find the small antlers on its head quite fascinating and you take one step towards it to check them out. To your surprise, the creature doesn't dart away.


"You could eat me if you wanted, but if you are concerned about the current situation, you could help me instead."

Questing
Buntail looks busy with its own stuff, probably gathering food or other supplies for its newly-established den. It doesn't stop working even when you come closer. It has apparently started to feel more comfortable around you which is both nice and odd.

"Trusting you was the right decision, really. Will you consider taking another task? There's much to do."

"This task may seem too easy for you but it will save a lot of my time. I really need 5 x large leaves. Do you have it by any chance?"

"I completely forgot to keep an eye on my supplies. I don't need much but 2 x healing salves would help me feel safe here in the event something happens and I'm injured. Come back when you have them."

"I could ask you to help me with my struggles, but there are creatures fighting for their lives as we speak. They need you more than I do now. Help 2 x distressed animals in explore and return quickly to let me know how it went."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Help 2x distressed animals

"I appreciate your effort. Come back tomorrow, our job here isn't done yet."

Cactus Cat

Cactus Cat Kinfolk

The creature in front of you is definitely one of the weirdest beings you've ever seen. It would be a feline resembling a bobcat if not for the long, sharp thorns covering its body and branching tail swishing slowly from side to side. Flowers also bloom on its body.


You're careful not to go too close to the weird thorns on its body, but the feline's attitude seems friendly. It's circling you in turn, keeping a safe distance from you as well. Despite its odd looks, you don't feel uneasy. It feels as if the creature has already adapted to this place.


"Don't be afraid. If I wanted to hurt you, I would have already done so."

Questing
You feel the cat's gaze more than you notice it at first. The outwardly calm pose and movements of the creature are hiding its inner tension. It's clear that your actions and help are a part of a bigger plan.

"You seem to be cut out for this job. Your help may change a lot. I've got another quest for you when you're ready."

"I have some knowledge about herbs and preparing various mixtures. Usually, I don't ask for help, but I desperately need a few ingredients. If you see 5 x ____, bring them to me so I can make use of it."

"I've heard that there are some trained scouts in your pack. Send out 1 scouting mission and share every detail you can. No one will surprise us if we know every stone here."

"There is no peaceful solution when it comes to the Merged. If we want to make this world a little less chaotic, we must fight them. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids and you will see the positive changes when they are gone."
• Give 5x Desert herbs* • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

* Exact required herbs will be randomized between Aloe, Cedar Bark, Chaparral, Oregano, Tansy, and Tobacco

"You made it sooner than I expected. It's all for today but come back tomorrow."

Cadborosaurus

Cadborosaurus Independent

The elegant, slippery creature before you resembles an elongated seal. It blinks its expressionless blue eyes and you try to ascertain if it's friendly.


Seals could be food, but you doubt this creature would even let you get close. It's much larger than a seal and would likely require an entire wolf pack to take down. It shifts on the ice and whips its heavy, likely deadly tail across the frozen ground pointedly as it assesses you.


"I'll not be your prey, little wolf. I doubt you could even get close. I'll give you something better if you help me with something. Deal?"

Questing
Cadborosaurus sits on the edge of the ice, its long neck plunged deep into the water. Its breathing is slow and barely noticeable, and the water doesn't even stir. What was it doing? It must have heard your pawsteps on the ice and pulls up out of the water and glares at you in annoyance.

"Not had your fill yet, hmm? Very well, I have more for you to do."

"The cold ice can be nice, but I want to be able to sun myself. Go find me 5 x large rocks so that I can make myself a suitable sunning spot. Make sure they're good size, too, not some measly pebbles."

"I can't survive on fish alone, I need something more substantial. Give me 3 x full use carcasses. Any kind of animal will do, so long as it's juicy and delicious."

"It's time for me to eat, which means it's time for you to be useful. Go catch me an uncommon fish in the fishing game. I'll be waiting, and so will my stomach."
• Give 5x Large Rock • Give 3x full-use carcasses • Catch 1x uncommon fish

"Very good, you did that well. Come back tomorrow to complete another task."

Cajun Sasquatch

Cajun Sasquatch Kinfolk

A shaggy, long-armed creature is dangling from a low-hanging vine. It tilts its head at you in a playful way.


You stare at the creature and it stares right back. You want to look away, but the staring contest ensuing is too intense to resist. Who will win? Will the creature blink first? You feel something slimy go over your feet and jump back in surprise. A vine...which the creature surely could not have commanded to trip you and break your stare, right?


"You lasted longer than most! But my stare is unmatched. Come, I have a task for you."

Questing
The creature is sitting in the nearby muck, slathering mud through its hair and looking quite pleased. A horrible smell reaches your nose, and you know it has to be coming from the creature. Was it taking a bath? A...mud bath? It turns when it sees you, shooting you a muddy grin.

"Still falling for that, I see. Back so soon?"

"Let's start off with something easy. Bring me 5 x large leaves. They shouldn't be too hard to find, and it will be a good test of your searching skills."

"I like the mud, but I want a dry place to sleep. Bring me 2 x nesting material so that I can make a nice bed out of the mud."

"There is so much pain and suffering during these disasters, but we can't prevent them. We can only help in the aftermath. Please help 2 x distressed animals in explore."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Give 2x Nesting Material • Help 2x distressed animals

Celofay

Celofay Kinfolk

Amber eyes in a silvery face blink at you from the tall grass. The tufted, pointed ears remind you of a lynx.


This cat is larger than a lynx when you look closer, and they are wiry, almost gaunt. The feline waves its long tail in greeting, then throws its head back and lets out a screeching cry. Your head feels fuzzy, and for a moment you forget where you are. It fades after a moment and you are left confused.


"Company at last! I knew my song would bring someone to me. Did you like it? Anyway, I need your help! Don't worry, you'll be rewarded for your time."

Questing
Celofay is crouched low, staring at something in the long grass. An odd sound comes from its mouth, different from any sound it has made before, and it stops abruptly before another follows it. Was it calling something? You see a small rodent stumble toward the cat's paws, and it quickly dispatches it.

"My song is usually enough to scare most away after the first time, but you're brave, aren't you? Ready for the next task?"

"I've been spending so much time chasing off Merged scum that I haven't had any time–let alone the energy–to hunt for myself. Can you help me out? You'll be rewarded! I don't need much. Bring me 3 x full use carcasses."

"We must keep our minds and claws sharp! A good way to do that is through hunting. Complete 3 hunts and you'll have earned your rest for the day."

"It feels like I'm endlessly fighting off those Merged jerks. I'm exhausted and need a rest, but there are still more nearby. Would you help me out? Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids."
• Give 3x full-use carcasses • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Very good, friend. I couldn't have done it without your help. Come back and see me tomorrow...pretty please?"

Champ

Champ Kinfolk

Shimmering blue scales draw your gaze to this serpentine creature. Its nostrils flare and it assesses you curiously.


Despite being landbound, Champ appears quite comfortable as it spreads its length on the bank and soaks up the sun. The blue of its scales seem to shift and change with the river as it flows, and you're sure that once this creature disappears beneath the water, it's untrackable.


"Oh! You're small, aren't you? But I bet you're fast, and time is of the essence. I'm slow on land. Care to help me out?"

Questing
The creature is kind, and you had almost forgotten about its sharp teeth. As it sits on the bank, you watch as it snatches up small toads, tosses them in the air, and swallows them in one gulp. You're suddenly aware of just how strong it is should it turn on you.

"You're a good soul to come back. I knew asking you was the right thing to do. Ready for the next task?"

"It's hard to traverse this land, and I'm running low on supplies. Would you get me 1x item, 1x item, 1x item, 1x item, 1x item? That should be enough for now."

"There's very little area for me to hunt here; the river is far too small. Would you help me? I'm quite hungry, and I know you and your pack are strong hunters. Bring me 3 x full use carcasses and I'll make sure it's worth your while!"

"The river isn't flowing as strong as it should be; the water seems to be trapped somewhere. Go upstream and see if you can find anything that may be causing this."
• Give 5x local items* • Give 3x full-use carcasses • Find the drowned car in the Riparian Woodland

* Exact required items will be randomized between Acorn, Blue Jay Feather, Dandelion, Medicine: Healing Salve, Mollusk Shell, and St. John's Wort

"Brilliant! That was very helpful. I'll have more for you to do tomorrow."

Chupacabra

Chupacabra The Merged

This grey-green creature looks fierce enough to rip apart anything it pleases. It's not large, but it sure is menacing as it stares you down with its glowing red eyes.


It paces as you approach, sizing you up. Spikes grow irregularly from its back and a long, snake-like tongue hangs from its mouth and flicks in your direction. It sniffs the air and pulls its tongue back into its mouth, making a smacking motion with its jaws. Is it tasting you?


"You. You there. Come closer. You smell tasty but there are more interesting things out there. Want to join me? You may have fun."

Questing
The Chupacabra is walking back and forth restlessly. It growls, clearly impatient. It hasn't noticed you yet, and you watch in fascination for a moment to get a better look at the creature. Its claws are so long and curled to the point that as it walks it creates claw marks in the soft soil. You decide it's time to approach and stop gawking.

"I knew you would come again. I have another plan. Want to hear?"

"If you are not a good hunter, you will be hunted. I'm starving. Complete 3 hunts and come back once you're done."

"No offence, but you wolves are the worst when it comes to invading my space. I think you're the third today. I can't believe I'm talking to you. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and prove your worth. If you do, I may keep you around."

"There is no meal that could fill me for long. I have a craving for something specific. Find a dead goat for me."
• Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids • Find dead goat in the Grasslands

"Not bad, not bad. I like what you did. You can do more if you want. Come back later."

Creepy Black Hound

Creepy Black Hound The Merged

A creature resembling a large dog looks at you in silence. Black as the darkest night, with muscles shining under its short fur, they look as if they are ready to hunt.


You approach the dog and notice that it's equally interested in your presence, its blood red eyes following your every step. You've never seen a dog so large. It bares its teeth for a brief moment and comes closer with a dominating stare.


"Since you are already here, make yourself useful. It may be beneficial to both of us. I may need your help. Are you in?"

Questing
The black hound is walking stiffly around, inspecting each and every corner, nook, and cranny. Its ears are pricked forward alertly, and its nose is flaring as it takes in every scent. It would be a formidable guardian to have at your side, and a deadly foe if turned against you. You proceed forward with caution.

"So, you're back for another job?"

"I don't like to admit it, but I have weak points too, and I need to be prepared for the worst. There are many who would like to eliminate me and take my place. Bring me 2 x healing salves so I will be ready for any enemy when they come."

"I have seen plentiful prey around and it looks tasty. Prove your skills, I won't work with weaklings. Complete 3 hunts and return for judgement."

"I try to ignore most creatures unless they mess with me. Find 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and defeat them! I don't care if you kill them or simply chase them off. They can go elsewhere with their useless Kinfolk good intentions. Only the strongest will survive."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"Not too bad with the last one. I underestimated you. Come back tomorrow if you want to do more."

Cressie

Cressie Kinfolk

You stumble upon a scaly snake-like creature. It stretches tall and observes you with its cool blue gaze.


It may be related to a snake, but you're sure this isn't any species you've ever seen. It has a head like a fish, with whiskers hanging from its lips, fins, and gills. How was it breathing outside of the water? Although surely since it wasn't a normal sort of creature it didn't matter, right? Its mouth gapes and it peers at you.


"You, landwalker! You seem capable. Mind helping me out?"

Questing
The creature has found soft, muddy ground nearby and you watch in amusement as it flips and twists, covering itself in the mud and burrowing down after a moment. You wait for it to come back out, but it doesn't stir. Should you get closer? Suddenly it shifts under the mud and stands upright, the only thing not covered in mud is its bright blue eyes blinking slowly at you.

"Back to help again? Fine by me!"

"I want to know everything I can about this land. I can't go far, so you'll have to take your scouts and report back to me. Complete 1 scouting mission and tell them not to leave any stone unturned!"

"With all of these disasters happening, I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling trapped and scared. I feel so vulnerable here on land. I'm sure other animals are no different. See if you can find and help 2 x distressed animals in explore. It may not seem like much, but it will make a world of difference to them."

"Can't you sense it? There are humans close by. I can feel their movements through the vibrations in the ground, and they don't seem friendly. See if you can chase them off before they cause any trouble."
• Complete 1x scouting mission • Help 2x distressed animals • Find the men in black in the Tundra

"You did that much faster than I could have. Not having legs is really a bother here. Anyway, check back with me later."

Dark Watchers

Dark Watchers Kinfolk

Dark, human-shaped silhouettes observe you motionlessly from a distance. You don't see humans often but these figures look taller and more intimidating with their piercing gaze.


The couple stands still but you notice that it's impossible to approach them or take a closer look. No matter how much you try to focus, you can't point out any clear detail of their faces. Suddenly, you hear their voice, a perfect unison, in your head.


"The time for keeping to yourself is over. If you help us, we may be able to stop this madness together."

Questing
You cannot guess any expressions from their featureless faces but you feel the couple's intense stare. You wonder where they came from. Were they dead humans? Did they always watch things around them with such intensity? You're wary, but they don't seem to do anything other than stare at you.

"We're glad to see you again. Your help is really appreciated. It's time for you to carry out another task."

"Any supplies are always welcome. We must gather as much as we can now, while there is still time to travel. Bring us 5 x ____ as soon as you can. The more we gather now, the less we have to worry about later."

"This won't be news to you but the victims of all the changes and disasters are countless. Helping the weak and wounded is as important as pushing the enemy back. Help 2 x distressed animals in explore. There's enough death around, every saved life is a victory."

"There is no doubt that The Merged are doing everything to stop the world's wounds from healing. They won't stop unless they change this land to fit their twisted minds. We have to do something about it. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids and you'll feel the difference. Their presence is a sickness."
• Give 5x local items* • Help 2x distressed animals • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

* Exact required items will be randomized between Bone, Cedar Bark, Charcoal, Garlic, Owl Feather, Owl Talon, and Spoonwood

Dewey Lake Monster

Dewey Lake Monster Kinfolk

Shaggy hair flops in front of glowing eyes, and a large ape-like creature rises to its feet in front of you. The eyes are kind, and you sense no malice from the creature.


Moving from tree to tree, the creature seems to be inspecting the health of each. Gently touching leaves, sniffing the bark, and feeling the soil around the roots. The care it shows to the land is admirable.


"Hello there, fellow traveler. If you aren't too busy looking after your pack, would you help me? The situation in the world is grave."

Questing
The Dewey Lake Monster has found some wild strawberries and is eagerly consuming them. Red sticky juice coats their fingers and dribbles down their chin into their hair. When it sees you, it holds one up in offering.

"It's good to see you, friend-wolf! I'm glad you're back. Tell me when you're ready and I'll give you another task."

"I'm in need of more supplies. Search around and see if you can find 5 x large branches for me to use."

"Helping others is useless if we don't also prepare for the worst ourselves. Bring me 2 x healing salves so I can stock up."

"There is so much hurt in the world. We must do what we can to help ease those who are suffering. Go and help 2 x distressed animals in explore when the next disaster hits. They're counting on you!"
• Give 5x Large Branch • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Help 2x distressed animals in explore

Dover Demon

Dover Demon Independent

A long-fingered creature that stands on all fours assesses you with a sniff. Judgmental eyes follow your every move.


When you look at the demon, you're reminded of a dog. But the body is too awkward, and those paws...were they even paws? They were longer than your own, and bent in odd ways. The creature curls them into the dirt and fixes you with a hard stare.


"Done staring yet? If so I've got a quest for you. Are you up for it?"

Questing
Without any hair, you wonder if the creature gets cold. There's a sickly green tone to its skin, and it's tight and dry over a bony body. You almost feel sorry for it as it lays in a sun spot. It wakes after a moment and stretches its long, creepy fingers.

"The ogler has returned! You're not so bad, I suppose. Ready for the next task?"

"This grass is dry and scratchy, how do you stand it? It's useless to make a proper bed. I need something softer. Get 5 x large leaves and bring them back to me. I'd prefer if they were the best you can find, but anything is better than this horribly itchy grass."

"Do you have any food? ...No? Well then go and find some or hunt or whatever it is you do. Bring me back 2 x full use carcasses and I'll give you something in return."

"I keep smelling traces of 1 x ____ getting closer and closer as time goes on, like they're stalking me. I can't have that, so you need to be a good little wolf and go and kill them. Don't worry, I'm sure it won't hurt you too badly. Go on, then."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Give 2x full-use carcasses • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): American Badger, Bobcat, Cougar, Mustang Stallion

"Not bad, furry. Come back tomorrow and I'll have more for you to do."

Dungavenhooter

Dungavenhooter The Merged

You don't notice anything strange about this creature at first. In fact, it looks like a normal alligator before you see that its jaws are completely shut closed by skin.


The creature notices you as soon as you lay your eyes on it. Even without a visible mouth, it appears as if it is smiling. You can hear its nightmarish voice directly in your head. Normally an alligator would not pose much threat as long as you stayed far away, but this one is truly unsettling.


"Let's make a deal. Work for me for a while, and I won't cause any problems during your journey. Sound like a deal?"

Questing
In the murky waters of the swamp, the dark, scaly body of the creature is hard to notice, even when you know where to look. It sees itself as the king of this area, so you have to wait for it to come to you, not the other way around.

"So, how did it go? Don't talk about your feelings or other unnecessary stuff. I want the results. Speaking of which... I will need you again soon. Are you ready for that?"

"I need you to bring me 3 x ____ as fast as you can. Do this for me so I can use my precious time for something better."

"I see you are bold enough to call yourself a hunter in front of me. You have a chance to prove it and kill a 1 x ____ for me. I'm getting hungry."

"I really don't like sharing my territory with anyone else. I hate the Kinfolk, but I'm not going to watch my prey and resources being stolen by anyone. Find 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and show them their place."
• Give 3x local items* • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Frenzied Razorback, Wild Boar • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

* Exact required items will be randomized between Dead Fish, Delicate Meat, Duck Egg, Tortoise Shell, Turtle Shell

"Don't expect compliments for such a simple thing. Let's get it done as fast as possible. Come back tomorrow for another task."

Enfield Monster

Enfield Monster Independent

You're not quite sure what to make of the bug-eyed, hunched, three-hooved creature in front of you. It's not exactly aggressive, but it's not very pleasant, either.


The way the creature walks is almost like an insect, with each leg moving independently of the others. It flicks its funny little ears and scratches them with its long claws with a grumble. As it shuffles around, it seems to be muttering to itself and barely acknowledges your presence.


"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy? I have so much to do...but maybe you can help. Wanna give it a go?"

Questing
You're not sure how it's managing it, but the Enfield Monster is sitting in the long grass, different weeds and flowers clutched in its claws. It sniffs each in turn before stuffing it in its mouth and chewing, only to spit it right back out. Did it think they were food?

"The busy-body is back! I guess you like my gifts in return for your service, hmm? I have more to offer. Ready for today's task?"

"I've tasted every leaf and flower around here, and they all suck. I need something better, and you're going to bring me only the tastiest leaves. Bring back 5 x large leaves or don't bother coming back."

"I'm in dire need of supplies. Find me 3 x ____ and hurry back."

"This place is boring. I need entertainment before I do something reckless, like see how long it takes me to eat your toes. Complete 1 scouting mission and tell me about what your scouts saw on their journeys."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Give 3x medicines (randomized) • Commplete 1x scouting mission

"Yes, yes, good, that will do. Off with you and leave me be."

Evil Cadejo

Evil Cadejo The Merged

The huge shadowy creature in front of you resembles a dog, but as you look closer, you notice its distorted features and unkempt, messy fur. This is no ordinary dog.


The eyes of the creature are glowing with fiery, malevolent light like the last two stars in a dark sky. While the monster looks canine, you notice that it has hooves instead of paws. It shows you its mouth full of sharp, jagged teeth in a twisted smile.


"I believe you are smart enough to know that coming here means that you will serve me. Let's get on with it, shall we?"

Questing
The creature awaits you in silence, focused on your movement as if it's ready to kill you on the spot. Even now, when you're more familiar with its appearance, your fur prickles with tension and anxiety.

"Come for the next task? I'm glad to see you obeying me and following my rules."

"My life here is far from peaceful, and honestly, I enjoy this chaos around. However, constant fighting means there's a chance of getting wounded. Bring me 2 x healing salves so I can restock my supplies."

"Don't question my hunting skills. I'm probably far better than you. If you don't bring me 3 x full use carcasses I will consider eating you instead."

"There is one creature that needs to be gone and I think you are the perfect wolf to get this done. Defeat 1 x Nagual and tell me every detail so I can taste the victory."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Give 3x full-use carcasses • Defeat 1x Nagual

"Maybe you're not so useless after all. I will have more work for you soon."

Flatwoods Monster

Flatwoods Monster Kinfolk

You are about to rest under an odd-shaped tree when you notice it has eyes and is staring at you with curiosity. This creature's camouflage is close to perfection and almost gives you a heart attack.


The more you observe this creature, the more questions you have. Even now, this being still resembles a tree with its elongated, thin, branch-like arms and green, mossy coat. Only the face looks somewhat familiar, resembling an owl with crimson eyes. Even if it's completely harmless, you feel an unpleasant tingling sensation under your skin.


"What's wrong with your kind, pup? You're another one wanting to rest here or to mark me. Will you be useful for once? I need help."

Questing
The green coat of the creature is long enough to reach the ground, covering the bottom part of its body completely. You can't figure out how this being moves around, if it has legs or uses some sort of mystical power to make its body glide slowly. It takes a while until it approaches you but staring at it is quite fascinating.

"I'm glad we made this deal. You're much faster, it would take me forever. Are you interested in more tasks? You'll finish it in no time, undoubtedly."

"You need herbs and medicines to cure your wounds. My method is different. I need 5 x large branches to absorb their juices into my body. I can do it with animals, too, but I'd much rather use the branches. Besides, it would be better for you if you never witness that."

"I'm not as fast as you. It would take forever if I tried to discover this land all by myself. If you complete 1 scouting mission it will definitely help me to acclimate to this land. Who knows, maybe I will be able to return the favour in the future when you need me."

"Believe me or not, I wish for peaceful co-existence more than anything. Unfortunately, we must get rid of all the threats first. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids and it will be a good start."
• Give 5x Large Branch • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Good job! Thanks to you, I can focus on more important things. That's all for today but I may need you if you come back tomorrow."

Fresno Nightcrawler

Fresno Nightcrawler Independent

Extremely long legs, a short torso, and a lack of arms or front paws make this creature's appearance look really alien to you. Only one large eye in the middle of its face captures your attention, and the more you stare at this being the more questions you have.


You don't think that you can get used to this weird being but you're also curious about it. The creature doesn't seem hostile but you can't tell much by just looking at the featureless face covered with green fur. With a careful step forward, you take a closer look, wondering how to start a conversation when you can't spot its mouth or ears. When you finally hear its voice, you still aren't sure if the creature uses its mouth or some special power.


"What are you doing here? You may stay and do what you want if you help me."

Questing
For a brief moment, you pity this being, convinced that it must suffer without upper limbs, claws, or any other way to defend itself. You change your mind quickly, observing how fast it is. However this strange body works, it probably serves the creature well.

"You're back already? Good. You may leave or help me again. Are you ready for more?"

"Gathering stuff isn't my strong point, to say the least. You, on the other hand, have at least a few ways to drag stuff around. Bring me 5 x ____. It should be easy enough to come across on your travels."

"Merged or Kinfolk...I don't really care as long as I'm left alone. In fact, I don't tolerate any intruders, no matter what their intentions are. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids OR 2 x of the Merged cryptids and come back after you're done."

"I may look scary for some, which is good, but the truth is that I can't hunt well due to...well...my appearance. If you find something large, like a dead cow, I will have food for several days."
• Give 5x local items* • Defeat 2x Kinfolk or the Merged cryptids (randomized) • Find the dead cow in the Desert

* Exact required items will be randomized between Arnica, Bone, Oregano, Rat Carcass, Rabbit Carcass, Roadrunner Feather, Tansy, Winterfat, and Yarrow

"Nice work. You're definitely faster than me on your four legs. There will be more to do but leave me alone now. Come back tomorrow."

Fur-Bearing Trout

Fur-Bearing Trout Kinfolk

A ball of fur just under the surface of the water looks like a dead rodent and catches your attention. To your surprise, not only is it alive, but it's also no rodent...it's a fish!


While the shape of this creature is indeed fish-like, your mind refuses to acknowledge the presence of fur. You can't imagine a furry fish even in your wildest dreams. When it looks back at you, you can't help but take a step back.


"Do you need some more time to process what you see? I can wait but time is running out and I need some help. Don't, you won't have to dive."

Questing
As you become accustomed to the peculiar appearance of this creature, it starts to look normal in your eyes. The thing that still shocks you is the creature's ability to speak! This world has indeed gone mad.

"You're back, finally! Will you agree to another task? I may have fur but it takes more time to grow legs so I can't do anything myself yet."

"Because of this fur, many animals have an unhealthy interest in trying to eat me. I'm fast enough to escape but I need some help to recover faster. I think that 2 x healing salves should be enough for now "

"The current situation is so absorbing that I have had no time to hunt myself. You can help me if you catch an uncommon fish in the fishing game for me. Hurry up, and stop looking at me like that for eating a fish."

"I can't do anything above the surface so you will have to do this for me. Help 2 x distressed animals in explore and remember to come back to tell me everything. Even here, in this remote place, I can sense the disturbances and they're getting worse."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Catch 1x uncommon fish • Help 2x distressed animals

"That's all for today but you did great. Come back tomorrow."

Gallinipper

Gallinipper The Merged

The largest mosquito you have ever laid eyes on buzzes in front of you. If it weren't for the intelligence behind its bloodthirsty eyes, you would have been long gone.


Gallinipper flies around the clearing, peering into tree holes as if on the hunt for a tasty meal. It stops to listen occasionally, jabbing its long beak into the holes as it attempts to snag a catch. The prey are lucky and it is unsuccessful...for now.


"Hey there blood-bag, not afraid of me, are you? You do smell good, I must admit...but still you're more useful alive. For now that is. Time to get to work."

Questing
You've always wondered how mosquitoes sleep, and at least in this case, it appears to rest like any other bug with its wings folded and body low to the ground. It's too big to fit in any of the trees, so it simply rests on the bed of pine needles. A beady eye flicks open as you approach.

"Eat something delicious today? I can smell it all over you...mmm. What I wouldn't give for a taste. But we have other matters to attend to."

"Large Leaves are hard to find around here, so you get to find some for me. 5 x large leaves will be enough. For now."

"Time to do some leg work, wolf. Complete 1 scouting mission. There's no real reason, I just like to see you do as I say."

"That 1 x ____ thinks they're so slick. I can't stand the sight of them. Go teach them a lesson."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 1x local Kinfolk cryptid (randomized): Axehandle Hound, Walgren Lake Monster

"There you go! Feel useful? Good, come back here tomorrow and do it again before I bleed you dry."

Ghostly Black Dog

Ghostly Black Dog The Merged

A mysterious, elusive shape surrounded by a thick, smoke-like substance walks slowly a short distance away. It looks like a dog, but with such a ghostly nature, it could be anything.


Because of this strange smoke, you expect a half-transparent, barely materialized being. However, the muscular body of the dark dog appears surprisingly solid. It rushes at you with a beastly growl but you decide to stand your ground.


"This is my territory now. Get out of my sight if you're not willing to follow my rules."

Questing
The long, pointed ears of the beast turn toward your direction when you arrive, but the creature is resting calmly, barely even looking at you. Such a sudden change in behavior is a clear sign that you are on the same side. At least for now.

"You didn't fail last time, surprisingly. Take it as a compliment if you want. Are you ready for another task?"

"There are very few enemies that are a threat to me but I'm running out of my supplies. Bring 2 x healing salves and don't tell anyone that I need them. I can't let others known that I'm susceptible to injury."

"All the prey around here will be mine sooner or later, but now I have you to help me out. Time to put your skills to use. Bring me 2 x full use carcasses. The bigger, the better!"

"The less competition I have around here, the better. Get rid of 2 x Kinfolk cryptids OR 2 x Independent cryptids and it will be a good start to the day."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Give 2x full-use carcasses • Defeat 2x Kinfolk or Independent cryptids (randomized)

Gillygaloo

Gillygaloo Kinfolk

To your surprise, a rather normal-looking bird peers at you from a low hanging branch. It lands with a squawk and observes you with a keen eye.


The Gillygoo is sitting rather painfully over a freshly dug hole. It looks to be in great distress, and lets out a horrifying screech–followed by joy. An egg lays in the hole, but it's unlike any egg you've ever seen. Instead of being round, it's square! After a quick once over, the bird fixes you with a stare.


"Well met, wolf. Your kind are all over this place. The more paws the better. Are you willing to assist me?"

Questing
With great care, the Gillygaloo is covering the egg with piles of snow. How strange! Birds always sat on them to keep them warm. Clearly this is no ordinary bird. Looking satisfied, it turns at your approach.

"You've returned I see. I'm glad you've decided to put your paws to good use once again. Let's get on with it."

"My eggs need shade. Could you bring me 5 x large leaves? I'll use them to keep the eggs covered and cool."

"I can see so much when I'm in the sky. There are so many in need of help. Go and aid 2 x distressed animals in explore. For now it will have to be enough."

"Do you know what ruffles my feathers? Everything, really. So that means Merged and Independent alike are a nuisance. Go and defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids and tell them to get lost."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Help 2x distressed animals in explore • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Very good. You wolves are quick and efficient. That will do for now."

Glawackus

Glawackus The Merged

A bulky, maned creature blocks your path. It lets out a growl and shows its long, sharp canines, glaring you down.


The creature paces menacingly back and forth, never taking its eyes off of you. It seems defensive, but considering the size difference, you're surprised that it even considers you a threat. You try to step closer but it lets out a roar in warning.


"What do you want? Stay over there. I don't like outsiders. Hmm...you could be useful, though. Up to the task?"

Questing
Glawackus hasn't noticed you as you quietly approach. It's laying in a patch of sunlight and for once it looks rather peaceful. Its eyes are closed and it rumbles from time to time as if in contentment. Your presence is soon noticed, and the creature is on its paws with its hair bristled. So testy!

"Back again, eh? Fine then, let's get on with it."

"I'm a fierce fighter, but I'm not stupid. Everyone gets injured sooner or later, and I'm no different. Bring me 2 x healing salves so that I'm prepared when I take on those blasted Kinfolk."

"You're certainly not as skilled as a feline when it comes to hunting, but I suppose you get the job done. I want to see how you manage to take down prey. Don't worry, I'll make it easy: completing 3 hunts will give me plenty of time to assess your abilities."

"You said you wanted to be useful, so here's how it's done: fight some of those nasty Kinfolk for me. In particular, one species is especially deserving of a good pummeling. Defeat 1 x ____. That should get the message across."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 1x local Kinfolk cryptid (randomized): Flatwoods Monster, Ozark Howler, Teakettler

"Alright, fair enough, you were useful. I still don't like you. Come back tomorrow."

Goat Sucker

Goat Sucker The Merged

A sickly-green creature with bulging red eyes meets your gaze intensely. You can hear a faint clicking noise, and realise it's the long, curved claws scraping the ground.


This thing resembles a dog probably as much as you do. Similar features, but very distinct. It walks as if crippled, hunched over and swaying back and forth. Its tongue snakes between long fangs, and it sniffs the air aggressively. Its eyes never leave yours.


"There's a lot of you mongrels sniffing around here. Make yourself useful, would you?"

Questing
Goat Sucker is living up to its name: it's hunched over a dead animal, feasting...but not like you eat prey. It appears to be sucking the blood straight from the animal, and you recoil at the sound that it makes. The creature turns and faces you with a bloody-fanged smile.

"You're back, and so soon? You're dumber than you look. No matter, I have another task for you."

"Sadly I'm not invincible. I know, I know, shocking! Time to take your lazy mongrel arse and get me 2 x healing salves. Make sure they actually work, too. I don't have time for useless medicine!"

"I can't seem to find any decent prey around here, and I need a constant supply of blood. How do you expect me to keep on living if I don't get enough? I'll shrivel up like a dead leaf. Bring me 3 x full use carcasses. That should do for now. Hurry up, would you? I can't wait all day."

"The Kinfolk are interrupting my feasting. They warn animals that I'm nearby, and then what's left for me to eat? Nothing, I tell you! Those bastards. Go defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids before I get too parched."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Give 3x full-use carcasses • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"You took too long. Be quicker next time. Return to me later and I'll have another task for you."

Goatman

Goatman The Merged

Not only does this dark, horned being look like a demon but you're also completely certain that it is one. As if its appearance wasn't enough, it's carrying a used–but clearly still sharp–axe with visible stains of dried blood.


A self-confident smirk of the black Goatman sends a chill down your spine. You wouldn't be surprised if when you let it out of your sight, it would go terrorize the area. The creature starts approaching you, tightening the grip on its axe and clearly enjoying the fear in your eyes.


"You there! You're not going anywhere unless I let you go. Complete some tasks for me first. Or maybe you'd like to be eaten on the spot?"

Questing
You hear the Goatman's steps just before it emerges from the thick bushes. It is probably a cover for a path to its lair and you don't want to check if it is true or not, expecting a bloody mess. The monster's hands are empty this time, which calms you down only a little bit and you still try to keep a distance. Just in case.

"I was sure that you'd try to run away but you came back. You're either very brave or very stupid but useful in both cases. Don't relax yet, you're still not free to go. There's more to do."

"I've seen some unwanted intruders around my territory lately. Go and defeat 1 x Blacktailed Buck as soon as you can. I hope that it will warn the rest not to cross the line."

"The fewer Kinfolk in this world, the better. Their existence is an insult and you will deal with them in my name. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and come back to tell me about it. I want to know every detail."

"I like how you serve me. I need someone like you to stay here and help me with all the minor everyday tasks. Even such a simple mind as yours will see the benefits of it, sooner or later. All of the sudden changes have had an impact on the creatures living here. They're scared, so they likely won't oppose me and my offer. Find someone in distress and convince them to serve me."
• Defeat 1x Blacktailed Buck • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids • Find the trapped wolf in the Riparian Woodland

"All right, this job is done. I'll let you live for another day. Get out of my sight now but come back tomorrow or else I'll find you and I won't be nice about it."

Golden Bear

Golden Bear Kinfolk

This is probably the largest bear you've ever seen. Its shiny, golden fur makes the creature appear as if it is glowing and captures your attention.


It is quite unusual to feel at ease around bears, but you don't experience any fear or tension as you approach. The bear towers over you, and its thick fur makes it look even bigger, but there's something calm about it that lets you trust it.


"If you care about this land, please help me. You won't regret it."

Questing
You can feel the stare focused on you even before you reach the bear's lair. The creature nods slightly as you arrive. While its attitude is very friendly, you know that its expectations are high.

"Each finished task takes us closer to the goal. You'll see the results soon but not yet. There is still work to do."

"I plan to stay here to observe your progress. It's a nice area. When it's all over... I may settle here for good. Bring me 2 x nesting material so I can start building my place."

"The chaos itself is a problem, but we need to do something about those who have already been harmed by it. If you could help 2 x distressed animals in explore, it would help to restore some hope."

"Bringing the harmony back won't be easy but the first step is getting rid of these Merged pests. One of them is living nearby so it's a good place to start. Defeat 1 x Rawhead and don't show any mercy."
• Give 2x Nesting Material • Help 2x distressed animals • Defeat 1x Rawhead

Goofus Bird

Goofus Bird Kinfolk

Birds come in all sizes and shapes, so there is nothing weird about this one at first. However, when it starts to move, there is definitely something different about this creature.


You need a while to understand the movement of this peculiar bird. It seems to fly only backward and is generally uninterested in reaching any particular destination. When the bird notices you, it stops for a while to take a closer look.


"Hi there! I know I'm interesting, but instead of just standing there, you could come closer and engage in something useful. Do we have a deal?"

Questing
When you get used to the strange behavior of this bird, you notice something else that surprises you even more. Its nest would appear normal if it wasn't built upside down. You're convinced you've seen everything at this point.

"If you came back, it means you're not bored yet. That's good because I will need you again."

"I should have chosen another place or different materials. Look, my nest is falling apart! I think I can repair it, but I will need 2 x nesting material. Please hurry!"

"I try to help everyone and everywhere I can but the current problems are too serious to deal with them alone. Help 2 x distressed animals in explore while I try to gather more information about the area. Come back when you finish the task."

"I don't have to see any of the Merged creatures to feel their vile influence. They are a disease of this world, and I mean that literally. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids for me. It's not much compared to their overall numbers, but we have to start somewhere."
• Give 2x Nesting Material • Help 2x distressed animals • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Excellent job! I look... forward to seeing you tomorrow."

Grassman

Grassman Kinfolk

Kind eyes in a round, shaggy face meet yours, and you feel instantly at ease. The creature raises a human-like hand in greeting.


It has a familiar presence, almost as if you've seen it before. Such a big, hulking beast would be hard to miss, but you're certain that you've never laid eyes on it before. Perhaps the fact that it seems so welcoming has tricked your brain. It sits peacefully in a nest in the grass and offers you a grub wriggling between its fingers.


"Hello there! Would you like a grub? I just found some. Oh, but you probably don't like them...not many do. While you're here, would you like to help me with something?"

Questing
Grassman is nowhere to be seen. Your nose tells you it is here, but where? You suddenly see movement, and the creature stirs from where it was sitting very still among the tall stems. It blends right into the grass! Maybe that's how it moves about without being seen.

"You're back, fuzzy friend! It's good to see you. Are you ready for the next task?"

"I need something to keep my supplies safe and hidden. I think 5 x large leaves would be perfect. I can wrap things up and tuck them away. Will you find some for me?"

"I'm no fighter. I'd rather care for others, even though it's inconvenient during such tumultuous times. I need to increase my stock of healing salves to provide to my fellow Kinfolk. Would you help me? Bring me 2 x healing salves for now."

"These poor, poor creatures! I can hear them crying out for help from miles away. Please, go and help them! There's at least a few that are close by. Help 2 x distressed animals in explore for me."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Help 2x distressed animals in explore

"Wonderful, you've done well. Come back tomorrow if you want to assist me more."

Gumberoo

Gumberoo Independent

A bear looms before you, fearsome and intimidating. In the place of fur, its hide is like thick leather–you doubt anything can pierce it.


Despite its thick skin, it was still a bear. The Gumberoo leans against a tree, scratching its leathery hide on the sharpest bark it can find. When it steps away, a large gaping hole yawns in the tree. So strong!


"You there! What are you staring at me for? If you're going to be rude, make yourself useful at least."

Questing
The Gumberoo hunches over, licking its claws. They are stained with blood, and prey scent lingers. You smell wolf, too...surely it hadn't eaten your kind? They blow a downy feather away and with a sigh of relief you realize it had only eaten a bird.

"I bet you're wondering if your teeth could pierce my hide, eh? It can't, so don't even try. Ready for your next task?"

"A cave doesn't build itself, and I need more materials. Bring me 5 x large branches so I can focus on gathering the other materials needed."

"My hide may look tough, but I still get injured. I need 2 x healing salves."

"You're a skilled hunter, so put those skills to use. Bring me 3 x full use carcasses. I'm not picky about the type."
• Give 5x Large Branches • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Give 3x full-use carcasses

"You're surprisingly durable, even with that thin skin. Very well, you did good. Come back later and I'll have more for you to do."

Hidebehind

Hidebehind The Merged

You feel an ominous presence around you but your senses are unable to fully catch the shape of the dark being. One thing is certain: you are being observed.


The heavy feeling doesn't fade with time. You have a sense that the creature, wherever it may be, can either perfectly blend with the environment or perhaps even change shape. If darkness were to take a physical form, it would be this being.


"Your fear and confusion are amusing but I have a better use for you."

Questing
Even now, when you know what to expect, you still feel uneasy when approaching the creature. You've seen a shadow in the corner of your eye once or twice, but you're not sure if it's your mind tricking you. The one thing you wouldn't mistake for anything else is the voice of the dark being: a hoarse whisper fading into the mountain wind.

"Coming back for more? Of course you are. You don't want to know what would happen if you didn't follow my instructions."

"I need some materials to hide my lair and to block the way leading to it. You're perfect for such mundane tasks. Bring me 5 x large rocks and leave it here. I will take care of the rest."

"I can be unseen and undetectable, but I won't rush time. I need help in discovering this area, so I need to gather the necessary information as quickly as possible. Go and complete 1 scouting mission, and don't waste time along the way."

"I was starting to have a good time here until these kinfolk vermin started appearing everywhere, trying to mess with my plans. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and make sure to have witnesses. If they want a war, they will get it."
• Give 5x Large Rock • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"Not bad, I must say. But don't be too satisfied; my expectations were low. Come back tomorrow and change my mind with a better performance."

Hodag

Hodag The Merged

A shaggy, black-furred beast stares menacingly at you, its overgrown fangs dripping with saliva. You can hear a rumbling in its throat.


You cautiously step toward the beast, taking care to keep an eye on the sharp, curved horns and spikes along its spine. They glint faintly in the low light, clearly razor sharp and deadly. It's probably best to avoid those. One thing is for sure: you don't want to draw its ire.


"You're either brave or stupid to come here. Leave now, or I'll see to it you do as I say."

Questing
As you approach once more, you decide the creature must be some unholy cross between a canine and a bull. It lumbers around the trees, smacking its hardened head against them and raking its horns to create deep gouges in the bark. It snorts and turns to face you, its tail lashing wildly.

"Back for more? Fine with me."

"I need to keep my strength up. There are herbs that are good for that. Bring me 5 x ____."

"I can't seem to find any prey. Are these lands barren? Bring me 2 x full use carcasses, they should make for a good meal."

"I've had about enough of this species. They're nothing but a nuisance, and you agreed to be useful. Go and defeat 1 x ____ before my patience runs out."
• Give 5x local herbs* • Give 2x full-use carcasses • Defeat 1x local Kinfolk cryptid (randomized): Dark Watchers, Gillygaloo, Knocker

* Exact required items will be randomized between Arnica, Bearberry, Buffaloberry, Carrionflower, Cedar Bark, Feverfew, Ginger, Mullein, Redwood Sorrel, Winterfat, and Yarrow

Hoop Snake

Hoop Snake Kinfolk

You wouldn't believe it if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes. This snake is biting its tail with its jaws to roll forward!


The creature notices you and releases its tail from its mouth, appearing much more familiar as it moves around like any other snake. Even without its strange movement, there is still something extraordinary about this being. You can definitely feel it.


"I wasn't expecting anyone, but since you're here, you can do something good for us both."

Questing
The snake, using its special way of moving again, rolls towards you, and there is no doubt that it's an efficient and fast way not only to move but also to hunt—assuming it doesn't suffer from a headache, of course.

"I already see the effects of your efforts. Don't stop and this chaos should be over soon."

"I need some supplies, but not only for my own use. Believe it or not, but I sometimes share my stock with animals in need. This is the least I can do. Bring me 2 x healing salves, so I can be ready for tough times."

"My lair is well hidden, and I won't share where it is. Unfortunately, the materials are scarce, and it's still not in the best shape. Bring me 2 x nesting material, and I will finally be able to complete it."

"I live in this remote area, but it doesn't mean that I'm unaware of all the disasters taking place lately. I blame the Merged for most of it, and I think you could help me with something. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids and I'm sure you will notice a change for the better."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Give 2x Nesting Material • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Perfect. I wouldn't be able to do it as quickly as I'd like. Having no limbs has its downside, you see. Come back soon for another task."

Horned Beast

Horned Beast The Merged

You hear snarling before a shaggy, horned beast with claws comes out of the shadows. It continues to snarl angrily and you're hesitant to move closer.


It's a wonder this beast can walk at all. Its claws are so overgrown and curled that it has a funny gait as it moves around. They look deathly sharp, however, and you decide you don't want to test just how sharp they are. As if sensing your fear, the beast rakes them across the ground, leaving deep gouges in the earth and daring you to come closer.


"Endless pestering, that's my reward for coming to this cursed place. No one will leave me alone! I suppose you want to "help" me too? Fine then."

Questing
The Horned Beast seems to be angry at every turn. It stomps around, tossing branches with its long horns and kicking up rocks. It has scared off every animal within a mile, and if it wanted to be alone, it was definitely succeeding. It hears you and turns with a snarl.

"I should have known you'd be back. Give a dog a bone, as they say. Let's be on with it, then."

"I need to keep my claws sharp. Go find me 5 x large rocks. Make sure they're rough and have lots of sharp edges; I can't use smooth ones."

"Go do something useful for a while instead of bothering me. Complete 3 hunts and take your time. I could go a few hours without seeing your ugly mug."

"Go fight 2 x Kinfolk cryptids for me. That's it, that's the task, I don't really have a reason other than I feel like making you do my dirty work."
• Give 5x Large Rock • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"Acceptable. I don't want to say come back tomorrow, but well, you're going to come back anyway, so I'll deal with you then."

Hugag

Hugag Independent

At first, you nearly mistake this creature for a moose; but this is no ordinary mammal. The jointless legs appear to limit the creature's movements, and its unusual muzzle looks like it would be hard to eat anything with.


The stiff movements of the creature make you realize what an easy target it would be for any hungry wolf here. It must possess some hidden power that keeps potential danger away. Its long lip moves slightly, but you don't know if it's an attempt to smile or a grimace of dislike.


"Do not disturb me and go back to where you came from. Unless... unless you agree to help me, then you may stay."

Questing
The stiff-legged silhouette blends rather well with the surrounding trees and it's not easy to find it. You realize that the creature is unable to lie down but it somehow manages to survive just fine standing up, which is definitely a thing to admire.

"Ready to do something else? The sooner we finish, the better. I like my own company over you nosy wolves."

"It's not easy to confess, but you may have noticed that I have some trouble with eating. However, there are things that are easier to consume. Bringing me 5 x large leaves would actually save me a lot of time."

"I may need some more supplies soon. I still have some but you're definitely faster than me so use your flexible legs to bring me 2 x healing salves."

"I think you can see that for yourself that I'm not shaped to travel around as freely as you. Knowing the area would help a lot so complete 1 scouting mission and come back to share the details."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Complete 1x scouting mission

"That's it. We're done for today. Come back tomorrow and leave me alone now."

Jackalope

Jackalope Kinfolk

A beautiful rack of horns is attached to a majestic...rabbit? It sits back on its haunches and wiggles its nose furiously, taking in your scent.


You have never seen horns on anything other than a deer, and you openly stare at the small creature before you. It's larger than most rabbits, sure, but its tiny head doesn't look nearly sturdy enough to hold the weight of the horns. It lowers its head toward you and places itself in a defensive stance, eyeing you warily.


"Well met, wolf. I don't want any trouble. I need help, but only if you'll promise not to eat me. Sound like a deal?"

Questing
The Jackalope is digging furiously, carving out a hole for itself in the roots of a nearby tree. It's the biggest rabbit hole you've come across, and it could actually fit wolf pups quite comfortably. You reason it needed extra room for those horns. Your approach doesn't go unnoticed, and the funny creature ceases its home-making for now.

"You're back! You haven't eaten me yet, either. I guess I'm in luck for now. Fancy another task?"

"I need to fortify my den and make a barrier around it so that I have some line of defense. I think branches will do nicely. Find me 5 x large branches."

"If I'm to make a home here, I need nesting materials. It's far too dangerous for me to go and find any myself though, what with all of those Merged skulking around. This will be your first task. Bring me 2 x nesting material."

"My babies keep wandering off, no matter how many times I tell them that they need to stay close! I'm so worried something has happened to them. Can you see if you can find them and bring them home? They look like normal rabbits right now since they're too young to have their horns yet. Please find them!"
• Give 5x Large Branch • Give 2x Nesting Material • Find the distressed rabbits in the Prairie

"Well done I say! I appreciate your help. Come back tomorrow, I'll have more for you to do then."

Jersey Devil

Jersey Devil The Merged

The huge, dark shadow above your head is too big to be a bird. Or maybe it's a bat? You take another look, observing the creature as it lands nearby. No...it's a large, winged goat with an ominous shine in its red eyes.


The goat monster folds its wings on its back, lowering its head when it notices you. A long tail, swaying slowly from side to side, resembles a snake ready to attack and you are almost sure that you catch a malicious smirk on the creature's muzzle. It can fly so it's pointless to try to escape now.


"You will serve me. It's not a question or an offer. Just do what you are told if you want to see the next sunrise."

Questing
If pure evil has a physical form, the Jersey Devil is it. The shiny, strong and somewhat elegant creature is resting in the shadows, where only the red glow of its eyes is visible. It spreads its wings when you approach, appearing to show them off. Its pride is as big as its greed and hunger.

"It's a pleasant sight when a lesser creature is working for me. Continue, there's a lot to do."

"I need a lot of meat every day. If you don't want to be my next meal, bring me something to eat. 3 x full use carcasses would be perfect. Don't you dare bring anything less than that."

"If you're as strong as you claim to be, I would love to see the proof. Defeat 1 x Grizzly Bear and entertain me with your fighting style. Fresh blood excites me. If you do well, it will prove that your kind can be considered a formidable opponent."

"I can feel the filth of the Kinfolk even here. With your help we'll be able to get them dealt with in no time. Go and get rid of 2 x Kinfolk cryptids. You must kill them. I don't care as long as they leave my territory."
• Give 3x full-use carcasses • Defeat 1x Grizzly Bear • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"You're clumsy and slow but the work is done so I'll let you live for another day. Come back for another task later."

Joint Snake

Joint Snake Independent

A snake lays in pieces in front of you. Before your very eyes it twitches and snaps itself back together. Whoa!


When whole, the Joint Snake moves just as any other snake. Its movement is familiar, and you're not as bothered by its presence. It flicks the tip of its tail at you and you jump back as the piece hits your paws. A slithery laugh escapes from the snake as the tail snaps back into place.


"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it before. How am I not dead? It's a perk of being me. Now then, since you're here, I need your help."

Questing
You watch as the snake spots some small prey. In the blink of an eye, it releases its head which shoots out to bite down on the prey fiercely before snapping back to the snake. Efficient...even if it's a bit morbid.

"Oh good, you don't look as dumb as before. That will come in handy. Let's get started."

"I need something to burrow down in. 2 x nesting material should be suitable for my needs."

"Hunting is too much work. Bring me 3 x ____ so that I can feast."

"Show me how you hunt so I can determine what way is more efficient: yours or mine. Complete 2 hunts."
• Give 2x Nesting Material • Give 3x local critter carcasses* • Complete 2x hunts

* Exact required carcasses will be randomized between Hare Carcass and Quail Carcass

"Well done. I see you're not as dumb as I thought. For now, at least."

Kipsy

Kipsy Independent

The movement in the muddy water is promising and you hope to catch a tasty fish, but instead a large, snake-like monster emerges in front of you.


While the monster is huge and intimidating, it's unlikely that it can chase you outside the water which is relieving and makes you feel braver. The creature lowers its head to take a closer look at you. It still hasn't said a word but you can already tell that this meeting wasn't a coincidence. The creature definitely has a reason to reveal itself in such a way.


"Ah, another one. Good. Maybe you'll do better. I need some tasks done and you are definitely faster than me on the ground. Will you help me?"

Questing
You can spot the monster's long neck from afar. It's expecting you and doesn't bother to hide or mask its presence in any way. This alone tells you that however indifferent it may sound, it has its own plans for these unusual events that probably won't be shared.

"There is still some work to do but if we keep this pace, we'll be done soon. Ready for the next task?"

"Until now, I thought that I wouldn't need so many healing materials but the situation in this area is getting more and more unpredictable. I suppose that it's no different anywhere else. We must survive somehow. Bring me 2 x healing salves as fast as you can."

"I have to fight with various enemies quite often but The Merged are the worst among them. If you defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids it will be beneficial for everyone."

"I need you to retrieve something. Someone stole my food and I'm fuming with anger. It wasn't too long ago so the thief can't be far. You can't miss it, it's a really large fish. A dead sturgeon to be specific."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids • Find the dead sturgeon in the Riparian Woodland

"I hardly ever need anyone to assist me but this was a good decision. That's all for today, you may leave. Come back tomorrow if you're still interested."

Knocker

Knocker Kinfolk

The tiny creature you stumble upon somewhat resembles a bat but it is wingless and apparently lives underground as it pops its head out of a burrow.


The long armed being sits nearby, looking for something with its creepy fingers that resemble thin spider legs. It still hasn't noticed you despite its large ears. You make the first step, lowering your head a bit. It doesn't seem to be afraid, which makes you wonder what hidden skills it may have.


"Good timing! I need some help. I hope that you don't have anything else to do."

Questing
You can't spot the Knocker anywhere at first, but it sticks its head out of the burrow as soon as you start to look around. It seems that the creature spends most of its time underground, coming out mostly to see you. It seems that it just wants to settle here without causing any problem or even leaving any sign of its existence.

"You completed the last task so quickly that I can't help but ask for your assistance again. Are you up for it?"

"I thought that this place would be perfect for my lair, but I have noticed that I have a lot of neighbours and not all of them are welcoming me with open hearts. The stronger my hideout is, the better. Bring me 5 x large rocks."

"Every day brings new calamities and I'm running out of my supplies. If you can bring me 2 x healing salves, it would save me a lot of time."

"I think that I will settle down here for good. Not to brag or anything but I'm proud of what I built down there in my den. This burrow is perfect. I would invite you to see my new home but you're probably too big. I need some extra materials if you want to be useful. Bring me 2 x nesting material."
• Give 5x Large Rock • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Give 2x Nesting Material

"Just what I needed. Perfect! That's all for today but come back later, I'll have another task for you."

Kraken

Kraken Independent

Two round eyes as large as your head stare right through you. The creature's tentacled, slimy body shifts over the ice and sends shivers down your spine.


You've never seen such a large beast; whispers, perhaps, but nothing solid. From the way it's wobbling unsteadily, it's clear it doesn't belong on land. Yet here it is, waving its many tentacles around that make small sucking sounds as they detach and reattach themselves to the ice. It reaches toward you curiously.


"Hmm, you're not very suited for this icy place, are you? I was hoping for something else. I guess you'll have to do. Help me out?"

Questing
The large sea creature is lying very still, eyes closed and almost melting into the ice. What is it doing? The sun is warm on your back, and you wonder if it likes to sun itself as much as you do. You get closer, and the creature must have heard you because its eyes shoot open and all of the tentacles curl back toward it rapidly. It raises itself to its full size, back on alert.

"Well look who came back to brave the ice! It's not so bad I suppose. Ready for another task?"

"I can't hunt in this blasted, cold place. There's nothing here! How do you wolves survive? Nevermind, I'm too hungry to care. Bring me 3 x full use carcasses."

"Time to really prove your worth. Complete 3 hunts and show me that you can not only feed your pack, but me as well."

"The Merged and the Kinfolk are both pesky creatures, but I think I hate one more than the other today. Go find and defeat 1 x ____. That should knock them down a peg or two."
• Give 3x full-use carcasses • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 1x local cryptid (randomized): Akhlut, Sea Serpent

Lava Bear

Lava Bear Independent

The creature in front of you is definitely a bear, but a strangely tiny one, and it takes you a while to realise that it's not a cub. Despite the odd glow of its eyes, you don't feel any fear.


Thick, woolly fur makes the bear look fluffy and you somehow can't imagine it being truly aggressive. However, when you approach the creature, your experience tells you to be ready for anything. The bear raises its head boldly and stares at you, unfazed.


"Who are you? Leave me alone. Or...wait. Since you're already here, can you help me with something?"

Questing
When you see the bear again, a spark of excitement can be seen in its eyes and its movements are visibly more energetic. Apparently, your help means something. Its energy is contagious, and you feel as though you could take on anything it asked.

"If you have nothing else to do today, I could use some more help."

"I haven't had time to make this place safe and comfortable for us. Can you bring 2 x nesting material?"

"I'm afraid that my cub may end up wandering off; they're so curious about everything! I need some toys to keep them entertained. Bring me 5 x ____."

"My child is lost. You probably know this land better than I do. Please bring my cub back to me."
• Give 2x Nesting Material • Give 5x amusement items* • Find Lava Bear cub in the Desert

* Exact required items will be randomized between Acorn, Blue Jay Feather, Bone, Mollusk Shell, Owl Feather, Owl Talon, Roadrunner Feather, and Skua Feather

"Thanks. I mean it. You saved a lot of my time. Come back tomorarow if you still want to do some work."

Letiche

Letiche Independent

A large-toothed shaggy creature with large, round ears judges you with its beady eyes. It resembles a large rat, and you've caught its attention.


Usually snacking on a rat makes for a tasty morsel–but this creature is far too large for you to have a hope of taking it down. The long fangs and sharp, curled claws aren't very inviting, either. It faces you with its lips peeled back over its teeth, letting them glint in the light as it stares you down.


"I saw that look on your face. My teeth are sharp, wolf. Mind yourself and help me with a task, and you'll be rewarded."

Questing
The rat-creature is sitting hunched over, tail curled around its body and head bobbing back and forth. You can hear chewing sounds, and you peer around to see what on earth it's eating. A flash of white disappears into its mouth as it turns around to face you with a startled jerk. Was that a bone?

"Greedy mutt, aren't you? Are you here just to help or for the reward? Either way, let's get on with it."

"You seem reasonable, and I'm sure you hunt more than you can ever hope to eat. You don't mind sharing, do you? Of course you don't. Would you bring me 2 x full use carcasses? I'm famished."

"The smell of fish is overwhelming here. Fish I've never smelled before, either. I want to try some. Go fish up an uncommon fish in the fishing game."

"This area is crawling with boars, and they're such a damn nuisance. Go kill 1 x Wild Boar for me so I don't have to deal with them anymore."
• Give 2x full-use carcasses • Catch 1x uncommon fish • Defeat 1x Wild Boar

"Yes yes, here's your reward. I know that's all you want. Come back later."

Lizard Man

Lizard Man The Merged

You've seen scaled beasts in the swamp before, but this one stands upright and moves like a man. It hisses through long, sharp teeth.


The creature moves with ease through the wet terrain and seems to be looking for something. It makes such a ruckus that if it happens to be looking for something to eat, you know it will never find anything. It stomps around and smacks its long tail on the muddy ground in frustration before glaring at you.


"You there! I need food, among other things. You will help me, or I'll just eat you instead."

Questing
The Lizard Man has made a mess of the area around you. All of the vegetation has disappeared, and nothing but thick mud sticks to your paws. It's laying quite happily against a tree, covered in it and looking quite pleased with itself. You make a face, and in return the creature hisses and tosses a clump of mud at you.

"Good dog! You returned. I'll reward you again today for your help. Let's get on with it."

"This place is dreadfully boring. All of the plant life around here is so damp that it's no fun to rip and tear and destroy. I need something better. Bring me 5 x large branches so I can break them instead of your neck."

"I don't know what it is, but I can't find anything to eat around here. I've looked, and there's nothing. You've witnessed it! Anyway that means you'll have to feed me if you want to stay on my good side. Bring me 4 x full use carcasses and that should satisfy me enough for now."

"Fancy some training? I love a good fight. Let me tell you, the best fun is battling Kinfolk and listening to them screech as they're defeated. Music to my ears! Go and try it for yourself. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids."
• Give 5x Large Branch • Give 4x full-use carcasses • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"You've done it already? I should keep you around. I'll have more for you to do later, come back then."

Loveland Frog

Loveland Frog Independent

Big, bulging eyes look back at you from the shadows, and striding out on two legs is...a frog.


The frog lets out a big stretch and lowers into a hunched position as it examines you. How is it walking on two legs? Its tongue flicks out and licks an eyeball and it tilts its head. Well, it may walk like a human, but it's definitely a frog.


"Lose your way, did you? Well, since you just so conveniently happen to be passing through, I could use your paws, if you're willing..."

Questing
The Loveland Frog is reclined against a tree, legs crossed and arms behind its large head. Its eyes flick back and forth as if watching something, when suddenly–slap. It snatches a bug right out of the air! Eesh...

"You came back! Not that I can blame you, I am rather good company. But enough of that–ready for your next task?"

"I need leaves. The ones around here suck and aren't worth a damn thing for doing anything with. Bring me 5 x large leaves."

"The world revolves around fish. I can never get enough! Catch an uncommon fish in the fishing game."

"Your world is so vast! Send out your scout on 1 scouting mission and tell me of all the wonders that they see."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Catch 1x uncommon fish • Complete 1x scouting missions

"That'll do, that'll do. Come hopping back later, yeah?"

Manipogo

Manipogo Independent

The floppy ears and large eyes of this creature create a good, almost kind impression, but your experience tells you to be careful, no matter how harmless the creature's appearance may seem.


The most familiar shape you could think of is that of a seal, but there is also something canine about this creature. It notices your presence, observing you in silence. You have a feeling that you disturbed its plans.


"Are you bored or something? You look like you could be, so come here and listen to me. I have lots of things to do, and you seem to have none. Can you help me?"

Questing
The slender and now familiar shape can be seen among the rocks. The creature is relaxing with its eyes closed and its head turned up to the sky. The faint scent of fish tells you that it has probably just finished its meal.

"Look who's back! I'm almost happy to see you. Almost. It's nothing personal; I don't really like anyone, but you're not that bad. You're still eager to help, right?"

"I already have my lair nearby, but to be honest, it's still unfinished. Call me lazy all you want, but I need your help. Please bring me 5 x large branches so I can finally finish it."

"You know what? I'm hungry but also so tired after the last unsuccessful hunt. I would really appreciate a small, local fish. But not just any fish; it has to be an uncommon fish in the fishing game one or higher. See if you can catch one fishing."

"I thought that this area was safe but I underestimated the wolves here. I don't want to move away so we have to do something about it. Well, you have to, that is. Defeat 1 x Alaskan Tundra Wolf and it will make my life a bit easier."
• Give 5x Large Branch • Catch 1x uncommon fish • Defeat 1x Alaskan Tundra Wolf

"Let's call it a day, we both need to rest. Don't forget to come back tomorrow!"

Michigan Dogman

Michigan Dogman Kinfolk

Despite having a clearly canine muzzle, the posture of this creature is more ape-like, especially when you see it walking on two legs.


You can't deny that in such an open area this strange being could be a threat to many animals, and you wouldn't like to have it as your foe. The blue glow of its eyes seems emotionless and cold but when the creature approaches you, you don't feel hostility. As it comes closer to sniff you, it starts walking using four limbs again.


"It still feels calm around. If you help me, we can try to prevent the worst from happening."

Questing
Upon your return, you see the Dogman walking through the grass and patrolling its territory. When it notices you, it starts walking on four legs again, probably to appear more familiar to you. It works somehow, and you feel less awkward in its presence but the long fingers of its front paws are still creepy.

"We have more in common than you think. Will you keep helping me?"

"Better times will surely come one day but we have to be prepared for the worst. Bring me 2 x healing salves. I keep this stuff in a safe place and I advise you to do the same. It's easy to obtain now but you never know what will happen tomorrow."

"This chaos around can affect even the strongest creatures. I see that you cope with all of these changes rather well and it's our responsibility to try to bring the stability back. Lots of animals are lost, trapped, or in distress. Help 2 x distressed animals in explore and come back to tell me about everything you witnessed."

"You will face a lot of challenges from now on. Are you prepared for any opponent? Maybe train a little more. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Help 2x distressed animals • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Having you around is truly working. There's nothing more for today but come back tomorrow."

Milton Lizard

Milton Lizard Independent

An imposing lizard that looks similar to a monitor lizard blocks your way. It's larger than any lizard you've seen before, and could eat you whole.


Lumbering around without a care in the world, the lizard flattens the grass wherever it goes, causing small prey to flee. It pays them no mind, instead opting to trample the grass in random patterns and smush anthills purely for fun.


"Ho there, small fry. Stick around and help me, would you? You'll get things done much faster than me."

Questing
No rock is large enough to fit it, but that doesn't stop the Milton Lizard from trying to sun. It's found three rocks spaced out enough so that it can rest its head, part of its body, and part of its tail across all three. It doesn't look at all comfortable, but who are you to judge?

"Returned, have you? Good, good. I'll make use of those swift paws."

"Rocks! I need rocks! There's not enough around here for me to sun my whole body with. So you need to go and find 5 x large rocks to bring me."

"I like rocks, but I don't always like sleeping on them. Bring me 2 x nesting material before my scaly hide gets bruised."

"Have you seen the locals around here? So nosy. Go and defeat 1 x ____ so they stop looking at me like some kind of side show."
• Give 5x Large Rock • Give 2x Nesting Material • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Bobcat, Plains Coyote, Whitetail Buck

"I don't care what anyone else says; you're okay in my book!"

Missouri Monster

Missouri Monster Kinfolk

A pile of shaggy, dark fur in front of you stands up and reveals its ape-like shape. Its smell and appearance create a living nightmare.


A pair of bright, glowing eyes stare at you, but to your surprise, you feel no hostility. At first, it's hard to see the face of the creature in its unkempt fur, but the body language and movement are calm enough to encourage you to approach.


"You can come closer. I'm not interested in eating you or any of your kind. You can help me with a few tasks if you feel so inclined."

Questing
You notice the creature pacing restlessly. Is it impatient to see the results of your work? Despite being aware of its intentions and character, it still appears somewhat scary with its large size and long arms, capable of ripping you apart.

"Working with you was a good idea. I may be strong but you're fast and agile. I hope that you still have some energy left in that tiny body of yours because there is more to do."

"We can attack our enemies all we want but we also need some protection. You look perfect for this job so find 5 x large rocks and bring them here. I'll take care of the rest."

"I've just noticed that my supplies are almost out. Bring me 2 x healing salves as soon as possible. I use this stuff a lot lately."

"You probably know that but this area is literally infested with the Merged and it is where the real cleansing process will begin. Get rid of 2 x of the Merged cryptids and I'm sure we will feel the change in the air."
• Give 5x Large Rock • Give 2x Healing Salves • Defeat 2x of the Merged cryptids

"Faster than I thought, actually. I wish I had known you sooner. Come back soon for another task."

Mogollon Monster

Mogollon Monster Kinfolk

You nearly trip over a large rock, before realising it's not a rock at all! It stirs, and two shining blue eyes blink up at you.


The monster sits upright, its long, shaggy fur covered in dusty sand. It doesn't seem to mind, and brushes grime away from its eyes. Had it been napping? It heaves itself up to stand and shakes all over quite like you would to dry yourself. Appearing satisfied, it sits back down against a rock formation and looks at you expectantly.


"Well isn't this convenient? I need a partner, and here you are! I'll reward you for helping me. What do you say?"

Questing
You're not surprised to see the Mogollon Monster lifting large boulders with ease. It seems to be building something, and from what you can tell it looks like it's some sort of makeshift shelter. It's using the side of a rock formation and building up the sides, similar to how you would dig out your own den. When the creature invites you in, you are relieved to get out of the hot sun.

"Welcome back, friend! Ready to continue on? There's much to do."

"This arid land doesn't have much in the way of soft brush and plant matter. I'd like to make the floor of my shelter soft and cozy. Do you think you can find 5 x large leaves for me to use?"

"I'm having trouble finding some of the supplies I need. If you could go and gather 2 x healing salves for me it would help me out so much. Hopefully it's not too hard!"

"I've always wondered what the land is like around here outside of my little shelter. Go and complete 1 scouting mission and be sure and tell me all about it when you return!"
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Complete 1x scouting mission

"Good job! There will be more to do later. Come back tomorrow after you've had a good rest."

Monster Turtle

Monster Turtle Independent

A rather tall turtle stands before you sliding its long, spiked tail back and forth. It tilts its head sideways and peers at you curiously.


Turtles usually walk low to the ground, standing for brief periods only. Not this one, however; it stands upright with ease. The rounded head and sharp beak reminds you of a bird's, while its long neck is as agile as a snake. It could easily strike at you if given the chance, and you remain wary.


"You're new around here. Or maybe I'm just too old? Either way, lend me a paw and I'll make it worth your while."

Questing
The turtle is tucked almost all the way into its shell, only its head and front feet sticking out. It's peering at the ground, muttering to itself and using a long claw to draw in the dirt. What could it be doing? Before you can get closer to see, the turtle notices you and slashes the dirt to cover what it was working on.

"Well look who it is! Like hard work, do you? Good."

"You haven't been very useful, you know that? Typical. You wolves are always lazy. Go out get me 3 x ____ to show me you aren't afraid of a little work. I'll even time you, if you'd like. Go on!"

"I need some reconnaissance done. Send out 1 scouting mission and then report back to me on any funny business you come across."

"You claim you're so strong, but I have yet to see evidence. Time for a test. Defeat 1 x ____. That should give you a nice challenge."
• Give 3x local items* • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Coyote, Whitetail Buck

* Exact required items will be randomized between Dead Fish, Delicate Meat, Tortoise Shell, and Turtle Shell.

"That works for now. Come back later, won't you? You're useful."

Montauk Monster

Montauk Monster The Merged

This fearsome creature's face is something from nightmares. Skin peels back from its gaping maw to reveal the bone structure underneath, and it looks at you with malice.


It could be some sort of relative to a wild hog, but after one sniff you know that it can't be. It smells like decaying meat, its bare body dirty and malformed in some parts. Bony claws swipe near your face, and you leap back to keep a safe distance. It's eyeing you with mistrust and anger.


"Don't I scare you? No? Fine then, do as I say or I'll make you regret it."

Questing
The hog-like creature clearly doesn't have a care in the world. Or maybe it just knows it has nothing to fear? You watch as it digs into a rabbit burrow and yanks one out savagely with an audible crunch. You're sure it's seen you, but it doesn't seem to care and continues its hunt. Eventually it looks up, scowling at you with disdain.

"Well this is a surprise. Actually it's not, because I give you things and your kind is always greedy. Let's get on with it, shall we?"

"Go be useful, would you? Go catch me an uncommon fish in the fishing game. Any will do, I just want you to leave me alone for a while. Take your time and don't hurry back."

"Time to get down to business. Kinfolk are appalling creatures and I won't stand them being near me. Go kill 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and hurry up. I haven't got all day to sit and wait for you."

"The air here is vile. So fresh and…clean. Find me a place where I can enjoy the muck and the air is better."
• Catch one uncommon fish • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids • Find the abandoned mineshift in the Taiga

"Great, you can follow simple directions. True intelligence. Leave for now."

Mothman

Mothman Independent

The body of the winged creature standing before you is so deeply black that you can't see it properly. It would resemble a giant moth or a bird if not for its ape-like, bipedal posture.


The creature approaches you with curiosity, tilting its head slightly from time to time. Big, round eyes shining with a bright red glow are almost too vivid when embedded in this darkness. This being looks like it is made of pure shadow but when your eyes adapt a bit, you see its insect-like face.


"Is your kind the dominant species around here? Seems so. For now. I need someone to help me with some stuff. Easy job. Interested?"

Questing
The mothman lands a few steps in front of you with a silent flutter. It apparently was aware of your return long before you arrived. Its senses are probably far better than yours, especially with eyes like that and the ability to fly.

"You would be faster with wings like mine but no matter. Results are what matters most. Ready for more?"

"I believe you are skilled but your word is not enough. Show me how you hunt here. Complete 3 hunts and come back to me."

"I want to expand my territory a little. While I can fly and see everything from above, I'm too busy with other stuff right now. You wolves run in packs so it should be easy for you. Complete 1 scouting mission and tell me about everything you discover."

"With your help, I will be able to secure my territory. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids as soon as you can. They're evil incarnate and are destroying everything around here even when they have no reason to."
• Complete 3x hunts • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Excellent. It seems like it was easy for you. Come back tomorrow if you want to help again."

Mothwolf

Mothwolf The Merged

A red-eyed, wolf-furred, winged...moth hovers in front of you. Its antennae wave and you feel unsettled as it fixes its gaze upon you.


This moth-wolf hybrid is something a pup would have nightmares of. Not only does it have segmented legs that click eerily, the last set of legs are wolf-like and enable the creature to stand upright. It stretches itself as tall as it can go as you approach, stretching its wings to their full width and looking at you with contempt.


"You're...lesser than me. No wings as far as I can see. An ugly lifeform. Still...I suppose you could be of use. You'd be foolish to refuse to help me."

Questing
The Mothwolf is sitting upright, its wolf legs sprawled in front and its wings folded back. It's using its segmented legs to groom its face, starting from behind its ears to the front of its muzzle. Such a sight would not normally be odd...but the way this creature is doing it makes you uneasy for some reason. It feels...unnatural. As if sensing you watching, the Mothwolf meets your gaze unflinchingly.

"Still in one piece? Impressive. That will do for now. Scurry along now."

"The hunting around here doesn't seem to be any good, but clearly you're still alive. Maybe there's something I'm missing. Complete 3 hunts so I can watch and copy what you do. Don't roll your eyes at me, you should be flattered!"

"The local wildlife here doesn't seem to fear me nearly as much as they should. Let's see if we can change that. Defeat 1x ____ and send them a message. Don't come back until it's done."

"Quit pestering me and make your paws useful, inferior as they may be. Those Kinfolk are dreadful, and must be killed off before I can enjoy myself. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids. Maybe they'll even do me a favor and kill you off, if you're weak enough..."
• Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Cougar, Turkey Vulture • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"Well would you look at that. You may be ugly, but you're not stupid. You have my thanks."

Nagual

Nagual Kinfolk

There is a strange vibe surrounding this creature. It's not just a bipedal canine with some humanoid features. You can't explain it, but you feel that there is much more to it than meets the eye.


While the Nagual's body doesn't appear strong or muscular, it is certainly not where the source of its power lies. When your eyes meet its gaze, you feel an intelligence surpassing your own. It's definitely unsettling.


"Come closer, I don't intend to harm you. My rage is directed at something else and I hope you will help me with a few simple tasks."

Questing
You notice the creature preparing something with its bony, five-fingered hands. Before you can see what it is, Nagual hides everything and stands up with a stern expression. Apparently, there are many secrets you aren't allowed to know, even when you work together.

"Does your return mean that you are willing to do another task for me? I hope so."

"I know this forest quite well, but I'm still unfamiliar with some of the further areas. You could go and check for any potential dangers. Do we have to worry about anything? Complete 1 scouting mission and remember every tiny detail as it may be useful."

"I think I don't have to explain what's going on around here. You can see and feel it for yourself. You wouldn't help me otherwise. You are safe here for now, but there are many creatures that need our help. I can't go with you this time, but I'm sure you are capable of helping 2 x distressed animals in explore on your own."

"We won't defeat every malevolent creature around but there is one of the Merged living nearby. I would like you to visit 1 x Evil Cadejo and send my greetings in the most painful way. It deserves it."
• Complete 1x scouting mission • Help 2x distressed animals • Defeat 1x Evil Cadejo

"You were a great help today, you deserve some rest. You will need it before tomorrow."

North Shore Monster

North Shore Monster The Merged

This creature would look simply like a large snake if it were not for its head, which resembles that of a horse. Equally surprising and terrifying, the monster appears to remain unaware of your presence.


Still amazed by the unusual appearance, you take a step closer, trying to understand how it is even possible for such a creature to exist. It surely doesn't have the flexible jaws of a snake or the speed of a horse, but you feel that it's better to be prepared for anything.


"Stop staring at me and do something useful. I will consider letting you go if you serve me well."

Questing
The creature remains still, awaiting you in the very same spot where you last saw it. It's clear that it couldn't care less about you, and it doesn't even try to pretend otherwise.

"You're back for more? I must think of something more challenging. Are you prepared?"

"This task will be easy, even for you. I'm in the mood for a snack, and I want you to bring me something delicious. I can do it myself, of course, but having a servant and not using it would be such a waste. Catch me an uncommon fish in the fishing game."

"I don't want to be accompanied by weaklings and you don't look like a fierce beast. You can earn my respect by demonstrating your skills. Complete 3 hunts and come back to show me your results."

"This place may be a desert but it feels too crowded when it comes to dealing with Kinfolk. I hate them to the core. If you meet 1 x Hoop Snake, beat the life out of them."
• Catch one uncommon fish • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 1x Hoop Snake

"Not so bad for such a weakling but it's not the end. Come back tomorrow, there's more to do."

Old Scratch

Old Scratch The Merged

You have to look twice to believe your eyes. At first you thought this creature is a human, but the red skin and horns leave no room for imagination.


Yellow eyes stare at you intensely, and a soft smirk appears on the devil's face. While elegant and well-mannered, he has the vibe of a natural predator. You can't deny that he is both unsettling and fascinating.


"What perfect timing! You have a fantastic opportunity to show your worth by completing a few simple tasks. It will be beneficial for both of us and you won't regret it. Unless you refuse."

Questing
The devil greets you in a way only a good, old friend would do but you know that behind the pleasant voice and graceful movements, there is a real threat that you would face in case of poor performance.

"I'm pleased to see you again. We make a perfect team, don't we? We should continue working together a bit longer. Are you ready for that?"

"This task is going to be simple. I just need 2 x nesting material, and please don't be too curious about my intention. We all know where curiosity leads to."

"You may have the sharpest teeth and the fastest legs but are you really skilled? Prove your worth and complete 3 hunts. If you succeed, I will admit that you are indeed a good choice to change the world with me."

"From the first moment I saw you, I knew that you were a warrior. A true warrior, ready to face all the dangers of these unstable times. Our main opponents are the Kinfolk creatures. They constantly interrupt my work. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and report back to me. I will show you what a significant change we can make together."
• Give 2x Nesting Material • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

Onza

Onza Independent

A large feline observes you carefully as you step into its

territory. Its eyes, sharp and focused, lock onto yours and make you anxious...


The slender, muscular body of the feline moves so gracefully that you don't need proof of the creature's hunting skills. It seems irritated by your presence but it doesn't show any hostility, which is a good sign.


"You there! Come closer! You have been chosen to help me. Come on, you'll appreciate it when you finish. It's much better than fighting me."

Questing
The creature rests atop a moss-covered rock looking at you just like a ruler looks at their subject. Even when it's relaxed, you can see that it's always focused and alert, which is something to admire though you don't dare to speak it aloud.

"Coming back so fast? I see, you must have missed me so much. It's understandable. Work for me again, and who knows, maybe you'll learn something."

"I think I will move deeper into the forest soon. I have found a better spot but it will mean abandoning my current cozy lair. Bring me 2 x nesting material so I can start preparing everything right away."

"I haven't had time to hunt today. If you have something to share, it would really make my day. Give me 3 x full use carcasses and be quick about it."

"I don't really care about other animals living here, but I have an issue with other felines. They pose a potential danger to my chosen territory and prey. Long story short, I don't want any unwanted guests that might steal my food. Defeat 1 x ____."
• Give 2x Nesting Material • Give 3x full-use carcasses • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Cougar, Frenzied Razorback, Whitetail Buck

"Not so bad, I must say. Of course, it's still far from what I can accomplish, but the work is done, so I appreciate it. Come back tomorrow for the next task."

Ozark Howler

Ozark Howler Kinfolk

A black, shaggy coat, horns, and red glowing eyes don't look inviting at first, but the bear-like creature doesn't seem interested in attacking you.


Despite the horns and long tail, the creature doesn't look out of place and it seems to feel right at home. In fact, the more you look at it, the more familiar it looks. Your arrival doesn't surprise the creature either, and you even get an impression that it was waiting for a moment like this.


"You really can come closer. If I wanted to eat you, I would have done it already. The only thing I want is to stay here, I'm not looking for any unnecessary strife. Will you help me to solve a few tiny issues?"

Questing
The contrast between the composed nature of the Ozark Howler and its almost demonic appearance is striking even when you already know about it. The creature rests under the tree as if it hasn't moved since your last meeting and its gaze is fully focused and awake. You wouldn't like to have it as your foe.

"Every completed task is one step towards balance in this area. It's not the end though. Are you willing to work more?"

"I'm not interested in conflicts but that doesn't mean that I'm not fighting. With increasing chaos and changes in the world, it happens more and more often lately. Bring me 2 x healing salves so I will be ready to face any danger."

"I have one special request. I am in the mood for fish and I think that you know where to find the tastiest ones. Catch an uncommon fish in the fishing game and come back as soon as possible."

"I want to live in peace among the other creatures of this forest. The presence of one filthy beast greatly disturbs not only me, but it's a danger to all animals living here, including your kind. Defeat 1 x Beast of Bladenboro and it will become a safer area again."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Catch 1x uncommon fish • Defeat 1x Beast of Bladenboro

Panama Creature

Panama Creature Kinfolk

At first, the creature in front of you looks like a hairless sloth. Yet when you focus on the creature, you start to realise that it is quite different.


Misleading at first, the creature is definitely a being unknown to you and likely new to this land. You can see the fear in its small eyes when it tries to reach the nearby tree but it's too slow. The creature seems to know that it wouldn't have any chance if you wanted to harm it.


"Wait...wait a moment. If you help me with a few tasks, it may be more beneficial to you than just eating me. Interested?"

Questing
You see the creature hanging from a branch, visibly more comfortable and relaxed. It reveals a toothless smile, and you wish that it hadn't. Looking at you with a tilted head, it doesn't need to say anything to make you feel the weight of the troubles of the world. It's odd when such a feeling is caused by one look from something so sloth-like.

"You really saved a lot of my time and I would appreciate it if you could do it again. Do we have a deal?"

"I know that this area is always in full bloom and it's not that hard to find the necessary stuff to arrange your hideout the way you like. I'm too slow, however, and it's far too difficult for me to get it done without wasting an entire day. If you could bring me 2 x nesting material it would help so much."

"It seems that dangers are surrounding me wherever I go. I hear the voices of The Merged each night and I can't sleep when I know that I cannot escape if they find me. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids. It should make this place safer for me."

"I spend too much of my time finding materials to cover my lair and making it comfier. If you could give me something that is already prepared...like a destroyed nest, I could use its parts for my own needs."
• Give 2x Nesting Material • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids • Find the ruined nest in the Rainforest

"I'd never do it so quickly. Come again later and I might have something new for you to do."

Pope Lick Monster

Pope Lick Monster The Merged

A bizarre, two-legged goat creature stands in front of you, sniffing the air. Long, ruffled fur around its neck looks almost like a mane, making it look significantly bigger and more imposing.


The muscular chest of the beast is rising and falling slowly. The strangest thing you notice are strong, sharp claws at the end of the creature's long, five-fingered forelimbs. It's definitely not a herbivore.


"If you didn't want to help, you would be running back already. Are you with me or against me?"

Questing
The creature snorts shortly, allowing you to come closer. The bloody glow in its eyes makes you anxious but the tension decreases after a while. It seems that it doesn't want to attack you...at least for now. You expected a goat's bleat but the voice you hear is low, growling and strangely pleasant to the ear.

"Doing this stuff is addicting, isn't it? I suppose there's worse things than working for me. I hope you came prepared."

"I plan to stay here for a while and I don't want anyone to disturb me again as you did. There is a solution that I'm sure you know well: intimidation. Bring me 1 x Wolf Skull so that I can display it to chase other wolves away."

"Maybe we have the same goal here. We can make this world a perfect place for us. Get rid of those who oppose us. Kill 1 x ____."

"Do you know what infuriates me the most? The Kinfolk. Actually, everyone gets on my nerves, but especially them. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids for me."
• Give 1x Wolf Skull • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Coyote, Turkey Vulture • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"Not bad for such a little pup. There may be a future for you. Come back tomorrow."

Rawhead

Rawhead The Merged

This horrifying creature has a skull with no skin. Unease prickles at your pelt as it observes you with hungry eyes.


Rawhead prowls around the cold landscape as if searching for its next victim. And odd sound like rattling bones comes from its mouth and fills you with fear. Did it do that to attract its prey or scare it?


"Have you been a good wolf? If you say no, that's a lie–all wolves like you are naughty. I'll consider not eating you if you do as I say."

Questing
In your absence the monster has collected a variety of bones and sits on them like some sort of weird throne. Had it killed that much prey in such a short amount of time?

"Naughty wolf, come to be good? Nonsense! Time to atone for your sins."

"Tell you what, 5 x large branches is just what I need. Hurry back or I'll smack you upside the head with one of them."

"You have no shortage of annoyances around here, do you? Go and defeat 1 x ____ if you want to live to see another day."

"Less competition, that's what I need. Be a good wolf and go chase out the pests. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids OR 2 x Independent cryptids - that will do."
• Give 5x Large Branch • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Arctic Fox, Barren Ground Caribou, Wolverine • Defeat 2x Kinfolk or Independent cryptids (randomized)

Rougarou

Rougarou The Merged

Your pelt prickles with fear as a wolf-like creature that stands on two legs emerges from the swamp fog. It throws back its head and howls.


How this wolf walks upright like a human is a mystery to you. It's unnatural, and as it starts to walk toward you it has a sort of swaying gait and is hunched over. Saliva drips from its muzzle and the glowing red eyes look wild and crazed. Something is off about this creature.


"You! Pip squeak! Don't you run from me. You're going to do as I say or I'll snap your scrawny neck."

Questing
Rougarou paces restlessly, twitching at every sound. Every tree it passes, it swipes and leaves deep gouges with its long claws in the trunks. It appears to be marking its territory, but from what? Only you were stupid enough to get close. The creature turns to face you with a snarl.

"You're smart enough to come back. eh? Good. I'd just hunt you down anyway. Time to get to work."

"As it happens, I'm running low on items I need and you're the perfect little servant to get them for me. Bring me 3 x ____ and make it quick. It shouldn't take you long to get a few measly items."

"You're such a good errand wolf that you get to go on another for me, and this time I have a preference. Bring me 3 x full use carcasses. No ifs, ands, or buts. That's what I want, so that's what you're going to bring me."

"I know just the thing for you to do–manual labor! I've had some issues with a cryptid species lately. They just keep being a damn nuisance! Defeat 1 x ____ so I can have some of my sanity back."
• Give 3x local items* • Give 3x full-use carcasses • Defeat 1x local Kinfolk cryptid (randomized): Cajun Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, Tuttle Bottoms Monster

* Exact required items will be randomized between Rattle, Tortoise Shell, and Turtle Shell

"Passable. That will do for now. If you abandon me tomorrow you'll regret it. Now go away."

Sasquatch

Sasquatch Kinfolk

Bright green eyes full of intelligence peek between shaggy fur on this creature's face. It's big and hairy and imposing, but seems rather peaceful.


The creature is sitting against a large boulder, picking debris out of its hair. It continues its grooming even after you make your presence known. It seems to be in no great hurry, and finally it stops and looks at you curiously.


"You there. I assume you've interrupted my business on purpose? Even if not, you're here now and you'll be of use. Do something for me, would you?"

Questing
The Sasquatch is sitting with its hand outstretched on the rock, staying very still. A butterfly is hovering nearby, and after a moment it settles on the long, bony hand. Its green eyes widen and you could swear it appears to be smiling. Maybe it wasn't such a fierce beast after all. The butterfly flutters away as you approach.

"The wanderer has returned for more work! The last task must have been too easy. I'll think of something harder this time."

"This land will need to heal once this turmoil is over, and all of the animals that call it home. See if you can find 2 x healing salves and bring them to me. I want to make sure I have enough for any who may need them."

"Soft material for a nest is hard to find here. So many dry, scraggly bushes. How can I get a good night's sleep if I'm constantly rolling on prickly brush? I need you to bring me 2 x nesting material. You're a smart wolf; I'm sure you won't have any trouble."

"The disasters in this area are endless. I'd imagine it's the same everywhere else, too. There's bound to be others in need of help, so go and help 2 x distressed animals in explore instead of wasting your time sitting here idle."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Give 2x Nesting Material • Help 2x distressed animals

"Very good. That will do for now. Be off back to wherever it is you come from."

Sea Serpent

Sea Serpent The Merged

A giant serpent observes your movements carefully. Its body is dark and shiny like the surface of a cold, midnight sea. It could probably crush your bones effortlessly.


One step towards this creature could be your last one. The snake smiles ominously with its mouth full of long, sharp teeth. That doesn't help in overcoming your doubts, but you notice a genuine interest in its bright eyes. When it hisses, it feels like it could suck your soul away.


"There is something interesting about you that I like. If you help me with something, I will consider not eating you."

Questing
Dark scales on the snake's coiled body are so clear they look as if they could reflect the night sky. The creature raises its head slowly. You still have a feeling that it is constantly wondering if it should kill you or not.

"I knew you'd be back for more. Are you prepared?"

"I'm perfectly fine now but need to be ready for every outcome. Bring me 2 x healing salves so I won't need to ask for help when I get injured. It would be humiliating."

"I need to know more about this land before my next move. I let my enemies think that they're out of my reach. For now. Complete 1 scouting mission and report everything to me."

"Don't worry, this won't be too difficult, I believe. Kinfolk fools think that they are safe because I cannot attack most of them from here. Well, now I can. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and show them my wrath."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"Very good. That will do for now. Be off back to wherever it is you come from."

Sewer Alligator

Sewer Alligator The Merged

Large and stinking like sewage, an alligator glares at you and lets out a hiss when you don't back down.


The hulking being is not unlike a normal alligator, except for the fact that it's twice the size of any you've seen before. The smell radiating from its thick skin is enough to make you nauseous. When it opens its decaying mouth, you hold your breath before the smell manages to knock you out.


"You smell like a wet dog, do you know that? And not the pleasant kind that comes from sewage, either. Think you can help me, smelly mutt?"

Questing
Muttering and squelching in the mud, the alligator looks agitated. You catch snippets about the ground not being good enough for a roll, and watch as it poos and proceeds to roll around happily. Ew!

"Did you bathe? Bah! Now you smell even worse! Good thing you won't be here long. Hurry up and say yes to this task so I don't have to smell you anymore, hmm?"

"Since you're such a good hunter, I'm sure you can spare some food, hmm? I need 3 x full use carcasses and they'd better be perfect."

"Time to show me you're not useless at providing for yourself and your pack. Complete 2 hunts before showing your face again."

"Show me your battle prowess. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and return back to tell me of your victories."
• Give 3x full-use carcasses • Complete 2x hunts • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids

"Want to be told you're a good dog? Fine, you're an adequate dog. Come back later."

Shadow Being

Shadow Being The Merged

A black, thick shadow emerges out of nowhere, forming a terrifying shape straight from nightmares. You struggle to focus on it; it fools your senses when you try.


You don't dare stray too close, and even from this distance, you can say that any attempt to touch the creature would surely fail. The skull-like, creepy smile is the only clear feature of its face. You can't see its eyes but you feel like the shadow is observing you carefully and if it wanted to haunt you, it would be able to do so whenever it wanted. Its voice is sharp and hissing like the winter wind.


"Don't hesitate, come closer. You wouldn't be able to escape anyway so you might as well listen to my offer. If you manage to complete a few tasks, I will let you go. Maybe."

Questing
Even though you know what to expect, you still feel uneasy around this creature. Its mere presence causes you to feel cold shivers, but now you know it's just a physical reaction that you can keep at bay if you focus strongly enough. The shadow seems to enjoy your inner struggles in silence.

"The task yesterday wasn't too hard, was it? I didn't think so. Physical labour is not my thing but you are perfect for this stuff. Ready for another task?"

"I won't call you an ally unless I see that there will be no shame in having you by my side. Complete 3 hunts and I will surely look at our cooperation differently."

"These lands appear vast, and maybe it's enough for you, but not for me. The mere scent of Kinfolk sends me into a rage. The so-called "Independent" cryptids aren't any better. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids OR 2 x Independent cryptids for me and use your imagination. You know what I mean, you don't have to be clean with it. Release your hate."

"While I enjoy my solitude, I also like to tease weaker minds from time to time. Animals are simple but they also have less complicated fears. Find me a human so I can play with his mind as I like. In an area like this, you should be able to find a researcher or a Polar Scientist. You don't need to do anything, just track him down and report it to me. I'll take care of the rest."
• Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 2x Kinfolk or Independent cryptids (randomized) • Find the polar scientist in the Tundra

"Good. We're done for now. Find something else to do until tomorrow and come back for your next task. It will be better for you if you don't disappoint me."

Shagamaw

Shagamaw Kinfolk

This creature would resemble a bear if not for the antlers sprouting from its head and hooves on the hind legs. Its eyes shine with an unsettling yellow glow.


If the creature is aggressive, you'll be in trouble, but it seems rather calm. Moss-covered fur makes great camouflage in this deep forest. Now you realise that you've seen pawprints and hoofprints together a lot but you'd never guess that they could belong to one animal. Following this being would probably give you a headache. Its whole appearance seems designed to fool and mislead wolves.


"So...you found me. If it was your intention, it proves that you have some useful skills. Will you help me?"

Questing
You don't see Shagamaw despite feeling its presence nearby and it steps out of the shadows when you come close. It's quite impressive how well this creature can hide right before your eyes. Its expression used to look indifferent before but now you sense the tension and expectations. Your help here may have greater significance than you think.

"I hope that you still have your initial enthusiasm because we're not done yet. Interested in another job?"

"This request doesn't sound very urgent, but I assure you it's quite important. I really need 5 x large branches. I think I need to conceal my lair even better than it is now. I still don't feel safe enough."

"Even the smallest rescued being is one step towards regaining normalcy. Or what's left of it, that is. Help 2 x distressed animals in explore and ignore your hunting instincts. There's enough unnecessary death around anyway."

"Disasters are one thing to deal with but these Merged folks are way worse. We must get rid of them before they turn this world upside down. Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids and come back when you've finished."
• Give 5x Large Branch • Help 2x distressed animals • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Outstanding! We're done for now but come back later."

Sidehill Gouger

Sidehill Gouger Independent

At first glance, this creature is no different from an antelope with unusual markings. You notice that its legs are shorter on one side, and wonder if it's mutated.


The unusual physique of the creature forces it to use hilly terrains only. Walking on any flat surface would likely be impossible, making the Gouger an incredibly easy prey for every hungry carnivore in this area. It is perfectly aware of this fact, staring at you in fear as you approach.


"Stop, wait! I know this gaze. If you help me with a few things, it will benefit you more than eating me, I promise."

Questing
The Gouger needs a while to make a full circle on the rocks to be able to face you. Not only was it restricted to hilly terrain, but it was also doomed to use only one direction when it wanted to turn. At this point, you start to wonder how it is capable of living to adulthood or breeding. It must have some strong points that are still a mystery.

"I hope that you've changed your plans about your dinner. I may need some help again and I've started to trust you."

"What may seem effortless to other herbivores, requires much more planning for me. What I wouldn't give for a simple snack without the need to go in circles constantly. Say, do you have 5 x large leaves that I can snack on?"

"Knowing the area is essential for me. I can't just go and discover the world willy-nilly, I need to plan in advance to save time. Complete 1 scouting mission and come back to share the details. You have my thanks in advance."

"As you can see, my mobility is somewhat limited. I need to reach a certain spot but finding a way to this particular location would take too long. There should be an Abandoned Train Tunnel somewhere. I've heard that more of my kind can be found on the other side. Find the tunnel and describe a way to this place so I can plan my journey."
• Give 5x Large Leaf • Complete 1x scouting mission • Find the train tunnel in the Prairie

"I appreciate your help, really. I hope you're satisfied with your reward too. Come back later if you want another task."

Sisimito

Sisimito Independent

The mere sight of this ape-like creature covered with moss green fur makes you feel uneasy but its twisted body doesn't seem to cause it any pain.


While the creature is rather big and could be potentially dangerous to you, it seems hesitant to approach. Eventually, it comes closer, using its distorted body in a surprisingly smooth way, resembling a spider with backward-facing feet and fast movement.


"Hey, don't come too close. Yes, this far is good. I need someone to help me and you look bored. Interested?"

Questing
The messy, dirty green fur of the creature is perfect camouflage. You almost trip over the resting Sisimito, mistaking it for a moss-covered log. With a scent more similar to trees than any animal, it would have been a real challenge to find it if you hadn't stumbled upon it by accident. It seems that this creature is more adapted to life here than you initially expected.

"Back so soon? Good, I need more help. You were so fast yesterday, surely it won't be a problem to do another, right?"

"I would really appreciate it if you could bring 5 x large rocks here. Yeah, I need quite a lot of them lately. Some are needed to block the way to my home, others are to welcome the intruders once they manage to get to me."

"I usually don't need any help with such simple tasks but since you're here, I think you will do it faster than me. Find 2 x healing salves for me. Doesn't sound too complicated, does it?"

"I'm running out of my supplies and it seems that with so many dangers around, time is of the essence to look for the necessities. Find 5 x ____. I tried to look for it myself but I still don't know this area well enough."
• Give 5x Large Rock • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Give 5x local items*

* Exact required items will be randomized between Acorn, Aloe, Guaiacum, Kava, Large Leaf, Parrot Feather, Pineapple Leaf, Tapir Carcass, Toucan Feather, Turmeric, and Turtle Eggs

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape Kinfolk

A strange looking beast with long, shaggy hair observes you with a keen eye. It smiles widely, revealing long, sharp teeth.


Unlike a monkey, this creature walks upright. As it lumbers towards you, you can't help but wonder if it's actually human. No other animal that you know walks upright. Its long, thick fingers reach out as if it wants to touch your fur, but it seems to change its mind and goes nose-to-nose with you instead.


"You're nearly as hairy as me! You smell much worse though. No matter. I need your help."

Questing
It's a wonder that the creature has the ability to smell you at all. You watch as instead of cleaning its long fur, it simply rolls around on the ground, picking up all sorts of debris. Small sticks, leaves, dust–you name it, it was on the long hair. And it thought you smelled?

"You really should do something about that smell on your fur. Maybe roll in some poo? Find some while you're out helping me complete this next task."

"This task will be easy for you; you have to find the same stuff for your pack, don't you? Good, good. Bring me 2 x nesting material. I think it's time I make this place more cozy."

"Fear has a very distinct smell. Maybe you've smelled it before when you hunt your prey? The air is thick with it lately. These disasters do nothing but cause fear, and it's time to do something about it. Help 2 x distressed animals in explore. I'm sure you'll have plenty to choose from."

"Do you know what smells worse than you? Those cryptids calling themselves "The Merged" like they're some sort of cult. They very well might be, but that's not important. What is important is that they smell awful and I can't stand it. Go defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids so it smells better around here."
• Give 2x Nesting Material • Help 2x distressed animals • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

"Not too "shaggy!" I'll have something for you to do again tomorrow."

Sliver Cat

Sliver Cat Independent

This large feline looks almost like an ordinary cougar. You do a double take, and notice a strange, spherical growth at the tip of its abnormally long tail.


The creature seems amused by your visit, treating you rather as an interesting encounter with local residents rather than a threat or a challenge. Its soft smirk only proves that it already looks down on everything.


"Are you lost? Or maybe you looked for me to help me out?"

Questing
The green glow in the creature's eyes has an extra shine when you appear again. Is that excitement? Expectation? Maybe it is not as indifferent as it may seem but its attitude is probably a part of a bigger game. Or just a cat thing. You'll never know.

"Don't worry if the previous tasks have felt easy. I can always give you something more challenging today, if you think you're up to it."

"I'm in the mood for a snack but I've tried almost everything that can be found here. Bring me something exotic. Maybe you could find 2 x Agouti Carcass for me? I'm curious about the taste."

"I am an excellent hunter but since you agreed to help, I'd love to see what you are made of. Complete 3 hunts and don't forget to share the meal with me."

"I won't be a burden to anyone unless someone tries to mess with me. There are some unfortunate folks who tried and now they need to be taught a lesson before they try to invade my space again. Defeat 1 x ____ and I'll see if it changes anything."
• Give 2x Agouti Carcass • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Coyote, Whitetail Buck

"It's almost sad that you aren't a cat. You have potential. Come back later for your next job."

Snallygaster

Snallygaster Independent

The creature in front of you is one of the most bizarre things you have ever seen. Between the tentacles, the wings, and the reptilian body, it confuses your every sense.


The creature looks out of place in this terrain, but you're not entirely sure where it would fit in otherwise. It walks around on its gangly, clawed feet, appearing lost and unsure of where to go. It's looking every which way, as if searching for something.


"You there! I need your help. You look like you're in need of something to do. Care to lend a paw?"

Questing
Watching Snallygaster as it goes about its business, you wonder if the tentacles on its face ever dry out. Does it need to go under water at times? What happens to its wings if so? The creature seems to sense your endless curiosity and leaps into the air with a shriek and stares you down, wings stirring up dirt and debris it lands after a moment but never takes its single eye off of you.

"Still bored enough to help? Good, let's get going. There's much to do."

"Time to put those paws to work. You can never be too prepared, and I'm running low on herbs. Bring me 5 x ____."

"Do I look like I'm ready for a fight? Honestly, you creatures that call this land home are the oddest things I've ever seen. It's like you're itching for a fight! Those birds in particular won't leave me alone and stop challenging me. I need you to take care of it for me. Defeat 1 x Enraged Canada Goose and I will reward you handsomely."

"I came across an odd sight while I was flying around earlier. It was some sort of bird, but it was laying in the muck and wasn't moving…it seemed like it wasn't supposed to be there. Go see if you can find it, and see if there's any reason for me to worry. Anything that big is a threat to me, especially if it can fly."
• Give 5x local herbs* • Defeat 1x Enraged Canada Goose • Find the plane wreck in the Grasslands

* Exact required items will be randomized between Arnica, Boneset, Burning Bush, Carrionflower, Cedar Bark, Charcoal, Dandelion, Garlic, Goldenseal, Ginger. Mullein, and Yarrow

"Thank you for your help. Come back tomorrow for another task."

Snipe

Snipe Independent

You approach this creature warily, wondering if your eyes are playing tricks on you. Is it even real?


The creature doesn't seem to move...and yet, you find it sitting in different spots. First its sitting by a rock, then near a scrub bush, then blinking at you from the frosty plane…is it messing with your head?


"You can see me, can you? Fascinating! You must have a good imagination. I'm only visible to intelligent beings, you know. Perfect timing, too–I could use your help."

Questing
The Snipe isn't here. At least, it doesn't seem to be...but you feel watched. You look all around for the creature, only to turn and find it sitting right where you first stood. How had you missed it? Amusement dances in its eyes as it watches you.

"See, I knew you couldn't stay away! I'm far too interesting. Let's get going before you change your mind."

"I need something to make decent hiding spot. 5 x large rocks will do. I think this spot right here would be perfect to build it when you return..."

"I don't like going off on my own, so send out 1 scouting mission and tell me of all the interesting sights, sounds, and smells they come back with."

"These animals are spoiling my fun. Go and defeat 1 x ____ so that they don't bother me anymore."
• Give 5x Large Rock • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): American badger, Canadian Lynx, Cougar

Snow Snake

Snow Snake Independent

It is quite unusual to see a reptile thriving in such a cold area. Its blindingly bright white scales make the creature look ghostly unreal and somewhat fascinating as well.


The snake approaches you so fast that you don't have a chance to think about making an escape. When it slithers, it's hard to focus your sight on it. While the creature doesn't look much different than other snakes, there is something supernatural about it. When it focuses its gaze on you, you start to feel anxious.


"What a surprise, a guest. Are you here to bother me or to help?"

Questing
You notice the snake resting in the snow, barely visible unless you get close. It seems that it is aware of you and is expecting you. It's clear that its senses must be way sharper than the senses of any other snake.

"There is always something more to do. Are you ready?"

"If I only had 5 x large branches, I'd arrange an imitation of a bush or other plant to attract small prey to me. If you bring them to me it means less time that you have to spend hunting for me. You should be happy, it means more free time for you."

"As you can see, it's not so easy to find something to eat here. I don't need a lot but since you're offering to help me, bring 3 x ____ to me. I can stash them and keep them for later in this cold climate."

"I've noticed that hunting has become more and more of a struggle. Not because there is something wrong with my skills, mind you. There are too many animals wanting to hunt the same prey as me. Get rid of 1 x ____, so I can hunt more easily."
• Give 5x Large Branch • Give 3x local carcasses* • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Arctic Fox, Snowy Owl

* Exact required carcasses will be randomized between Caribou Calf Carcass, Gull Carcass, Hare Carcass, Seal Pup Carcasses, and Stoat Carcass.

"I didn't expect that it could turn out so well. Come back tomorrow if you want to help again."

Snow Wasset

Snow Wasset Independent

The creature resting in front of you looks like a fur-covered snake with a muzzle similar to the one of a stoat or a marten. It doesn't look very intimidating, and it's even kind of cute, but it's best to be careful.


You wonder if its atrophied limbs have any function or if this creature really can hunt without them. The Snow Wasset licks its mouth and turns to face you slowly. A self-confident smirk tells you at once that it can probably catch its prey better than you. Its eyes look hungry...


"Do you have some time to help me out with some easy tasks? If not, then go away, this is my territory."

Questing
The creature sticks its head out from its burrow hidden under the snow. You can already tell that it spends most of its time underground as a way to adapt to this unfriendly environment. While you would never win against the Wasset below ground, it clearly needs you for its business on the surface.

"Welcome again, my long-legged friend. It wasn't a bad idea to let you do this. Are you ready for another job?"

"While I feel perfectly safe underground, there are still some threats that I face that require healing afterward. Do you have 2 x healing salves by any chance? I need to replenish my stock."

"I can hunt here on the surface, but I prefer to stay underground where I can use my favourite methods. This is why I rarely eat fish and I really want to take a bite or two. Can you catch an uncommon fish in the fishing game?"

"You see, the surface isn't really my favourite place to be and you are definitely more accustomed to travelling long distances. I need you to check the shore. I've heard that there's a shipwreck nearby and I need some information about it. Let's make a deal. You tell me everything about it and if you find anything useful, you may take it."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Catch 1x uncommon fish • Find the shipwreck in the Glacier

"Not bad! You came back sooner than I expected. That's all for now. Come back tomorrow and we'll talk again."

Southern Chupacabras

Southern Chupacabras The Merged

If death itself could have a child with a rat, the creature standing in front of you would be the result. The skull-like muzzle is frozen in a permanent, unsettling grin as the beast stares at you.


While the creature isn't huge, it doesn't seem to be afraid of you and it would be foolish to underestimate it. Its rattlesnake tail makes you wonder if its bite is venomous. It definitely looks like it. When it approaches you, you can hear its loud, disgusting breath sounds.


"If you want to stay around, you must follow my rules and do as I say. Otherwise, get out."

Questing
You can hear the silent clatter of claws a bit before the creature emerges from the shadows. A long, thin tail cuts the air constantly as the beast shows its impatience. It clearly thinks that you're its servant and tries to dominate you with each movement.

"You came to serve me more? Smart move."

"When you enter my land, you better have something to share with me. Do you have 3 x Beaver Carcass by any chance? If not, then go now and find some but don't waste too much time. I'm in the mood for those water rats and I'm not a patient creature."

"With your help, I can finally chase those Kinfolk bastards away. They won't dare disturb me after you're done with them. Defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids and come back when you're done. I can't wait to claim this area. If you do well, I may grant you access to my territory as long as you don't bother me."

"I need a better place to live. Find something like a destroyed den so I can rearrange it as I like."
• Give 3x Beaver Carcass • Defeat 2x Kinfolk cryptids • Find the destroyed den in the Rainforest

"Alright. You are not so useless after all. This cooperation might work. Come back tomorrow."

Splintercat

Splintercat Independent

A sudden movement in the shadows catches your attention. You notice a feline-shaped creature staring at you as if it is ready to jump.


When you approach, the cat relaxes its muscles, abandoning the plan to hunt you down. You notice its back is covered with strange, sharp spikes, reminding you of a hedgehog. Its tail is swaying back and forth slowly. The spikes on the creature's body aren't long but you wouldn't like to have a closer encounter with them. Suddenly, the cat decides to shorten the safe distance between you and sits in front of you.


"What's your business around here? I'm sure it can wait a little longer. I need your help."

Questing
The cat's brown fur blends perfectly with the mountain landscape. When it rests on the ground, it resembles a broken, spiky branch of a tree. No wonder it doesn't even bother to hide and feels rather comfortable out in the open. Upon your return, it turns lazily to face you. It's clear that it wants to listen about your progress and then doze in the sun.

"Back already? Good, I need your help again."

"My lair is almost ready. I only need some brush to camouflage it properly. Bring me 5 x large branches and it should be perfect to make the finishing touches."

"The sooner I know this area better, the better prey I can catch before other creatures do it first. Complete 1 scouting mission while I patrol the other side of my territory. Thanks to you, I will gather far more information much sooner than other hunters here."

"I had no idea that this place was so densely inhabited. I definitely need more space, and any creature messing with me is the first to be chased off. I am being generous, believe me. Defeat 1 x ____ as soon as you can."
• Give 5x Large Branch • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Bobcat, Elk Bull

"Excellent! Exactly what I needed. You can go now, but not too far away. You must come back tomorrow for your next task."

Squonk

Squonk Independent

A sorry-looking lump of wrinkly skin with warts and moles meets your gaze. Its eyes are sad, and tears stream silently down its face.


The creature is staring at the ground, ears drooping and looking like its mere existence is weighing it down. It's making small mewling noises as tears run down its face. It's crying so much that the ground at its feet is damp, and everytime it moves it leaves an easy trail to follow. Maybe you can try to cheer it up somehow?


"Oh, hello...you seem nice. Will you...help me? I'm too sad to do much on my own."

Questing
For once, the sad creature doesn't seem so sad. Its face still droops and its ears are hung low, but it's crouched down and staring at a nearby flower. It seems fascinated by it, and while there are still tears rolling down its face, they aren't flowing as quickly as before. It huffs and makes a gurgling noise, and you realise that it's trying to smell it.

"It's nice to see your friendly face again! Come to help me again?"

"I can never keep enough herbs on hand. My luck is rotten and never seems to go my way. You're here now, though…want to help turn my luck around? Find 5 x St. John's Wort for me if you don't mind."

"These pine needles are nice, but they don't do much to help keep it dry when I lay down. Would you bring me 2 x nesting material? I need something more absorbent to dry my tears at night."

"Oh my friend, I have good news! While I was sitting by that tree over there having a good cry, the most beautiful smell passed my nose. There's another like me nearby, I'm sure of it. She smells so lovely…see if you can convince her to come and visit me? I would love to meet her."
• Give 5x St. John's Wort • Give 2x Nesting Material • Find Blonk in the Coniferous Forest

"You did it! Very good. I hope I'll see you later."

Swamp Stalker

Swamp Stalker Independent

A large, shadowy silhouette emerges suddenly in front of you. The creature stands tall on two legs, covered in matted, dark fur that clings to its muscular body.


The shape of the creature is rather familiar, resembling a large ape, but much more intimidating. Its movements are smooth and even graceful, which is definitely different and unexpected.


"Are you lost, pup? I might help you find the way but only if you help me first."

Questing
This creature is one with the swamp. You could even say that it embodies its essence, blending seamlessly with the surrounding vegetation despite its large body. Glowing eyes appear to penetrate your soul as you approach. You'll probably never get used to it.

"Back already? It seems that I underestimated you, and you have some skills. I will keep that in mind when thinking about the next task for you."

"As you already know, this area isn't safe, so I want to be prepared for everything. Bring me 2 x healing salves so I won't have to worry about unexpected events."

"I think I may stay here for a while...or maybe forever. I will need materials to keep my lair solid and safe. Gather 2 x nesting material and bring it back to me."

"There are areas here that are still unknown to me. You're much smaller and can sneak in everywhere, so complete 1 scouting mission and tell me what you discover."
• Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Give 2x Nesting Material • Complete 1x scouting mission

"Good results are all I care about. You did a good job, I have no complaints. Keep it that way and come back tomorrow."

Tailypo

Tailypo Independent

A familiar long snout with pointy ears and rough, coarse fur shoves into your face rather abruptly. The creature it belongs to makes you think it might be some kind of wolf.


It has a long tail, and its body is thin and wiry with oddly long toes. It sniffs you up and down, as if gaining information. You don't have to even attempt to smell the creature; its stench crosses your nose every time it passes you. It smells muggy and damp and of something more sinister, but you can't be sure.


"You look like me, but you're far smellier. Don't you wash? I guess it can't be helped...I could use a strong set of paws like yours. Smell aside, do you want to help me?"

Questing
The Tailypo is trotting back and forth among the trees and brush, stopping every so often to look at the ground. It looks far too pleased with itself, and as you watch, it licks its muzzle as it goes to the next place and you smell fresh kill. Had it stored that much food around? But it appears to be travelling around randomly...was it stealing kills? It turns to look at you with an innocent expression.

"You came back! I wasn't sure you would. Ready to keep going?"

"My stomach is a bottomless pit, I tell you. No matter how much prey I steal–I mean, find–I can't seem to satiate my hunger. Help me out, would you? Bring me 3 x full use carcasses. If that doesn't satisfy me, I don't know what will."

"Time for some hunting! Well, I'm not going to hunt, but you are. You're far too scrawny. I have to teach you how to eat properly, it seems. But before you can eat, you need to hunt. Complete 3 hunts and come show me your spoils. Be prepared to share!"

"I'm itching to sink my claws into the felines in this area. I see them all over this place. I don't want to fight a battle I'm going to lose, however. That's where you come in! Defeat 1 x ____ and let me know how tough they are."
• Give 3x full-use carcasses • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Bobcat, Cougar

Teakettler

Teakettler Kinfolk

You hear a high-pitched whining before a strange looking dog approaches you. Steam is coming from its mouth, and it's walking...backwards?


The creature walks in a strange shimmy pattern as it navigates the world backwards. You notice its cat-like ears swivel back and forth as it moves, as if using them to listen as it moves. It seems to manage well, despite its odd movement.


"Oh, you there. You're capable aren't you? I have need of your forward-thinking ways."

Questing
The Teakettler is curled up, looking almost peaceful. As it snores, a faint whistling sound comes from its nose and gentle tendrils of steam curl through the air. With a snort it shakes itself awake, fixing you with a curious gaze.

"I don't look odd enough to scare you away, huh? Well that's a first. Ready to help again?"

"I love sticks. Do you love sticks? I need 5 x large branches for...reasons I can't disclose. They're important to a creature like me."

"I need something a bit softer for sleeping. Would you bring me 2 x nesting material?"

"These disasters are wreaking havoc on everyone around here! I can't stand their cries. Go and help 2 x distressed animals in explore."
• Give 5x Large Branch • Give 2x Nesting Material • Help 2x distressed animals

The White Stag

The White Stag Kinfolk

The magnificent stag in front of you resembles an ancient forest god with its splendid, huge antlers and perfectly clean, almost shining white fur. It looks beautifully unreal.


You don't feel any kind of fear. It may be your gut feeling or the creature's vibe, but there is something royal and proud about it. The stag nods slowly, inviting you to come closer.


"Did you lose your path? Or maybe you came here to help?"

Questing
You observe the stag grazing and walking around slowly like a ghost. It looks so otherworldly that such mundane activity like eating appears strange. It seems that it's just a deer after all. He notices you and comes closer.

"I'm glad to see you back. Will you help me again?"

"I don't know this land yet. It takes quite a long time for me to find food I am familiar with. Please, bring me 5 x ____ and help me fill my belly."

"I try to help others when possible but alone I can only do so much. Please bring me 2 x healing salves."

"The Merged are the biggest danger here now. In order to achieve peace, we must chase them away. Defeating 2 x of the Merged cryptids should be enough for now."
• Give 5x plant items* • Give 2x Medicine: Healing Salve • Defeat 2x the Merged cryptids

Thetis Lake Monster

Thetis Lake Monster The Merged

With a gleeful malice in its eyes, a scaled human-like creature with fins grins at you with sharpened teeth.


Picking a sharpened scale from its spiky head, the monster begins to pick its teeth. Tiny foreign objects flick out, and you struggle to watch as you wonder what on earth the creature could have eaten.


"What have we here? A sniveling pup come to worship me? Very well, complete some tasks for me and I'll consider myself sufficiently worshiped."

Questing
The Thetis Lake Monster stomps in a muddy puddle, making gross squelching and squishing noises. It slathers itself in the mud once it deems it an acceptable consistency, and it only adds to the wet, fishy smell of the creature.

"My presence must be irresistible for you to return so soon. Get started on your worshiping tasks, would you?"

"I need supplies to heal myself. You don't think I just sit here do you? I'm constantly chasing creatures away and don't always get away unscathed. Bring me 2 x healing salves."

"I'm in the mood for fish, but I don't feel like fishing. This is where you come in, furry peasant. Go and catch me an uncommon fish in the fishing game, would you?"

"Care to help me teach those stupid Kinfolk a lesson? Good. Go and defeat 2 x Kinfolk cryptids."

Tuttle Bottoms Monster

Tuttle Bottoms Monster Kinfolk

This large, bipedal creature resembles an ape but has a head with a characteristic, elongated mouth that reminds you of anteaters. It hasn't looked at you yet, but you have a feeling that it's aware of your presence.


The shaggy, thick fur of the creature is covered with tiny, dried leaves and pieces of tree bark. It uses its mouth just like an anteater, looking for insects and eating them with its long tongue. It appears as though nothing could ruin its dedication, and it is completely absorbed.


"Greetings! I wasn't expecting anyone here, but I'm glad to see you. There are some things that need to be done, and I won't be able to do everything myself. The condition of this world is worsening. We must work together."

Questing
The stocky body of the creature can be seen among the trees, this time on all fours, doing the same thing as always: looking for something to eat. You're glad that you don't have to eat with such a tiny mouth. It would take ages to feel full!

"I knew you would be back to help me more. I hope we have similar interests but if not...the final result is the most important."

"I need your help, and quickly. I was attacked just before you appeared. I somehow survived, as you can see, but I am badly injured. Do you happen to have any spare 3 x ____?"

"I'm trying to actively monitor the chaos. Many innocent beings will be lost, I know, but we must try to save as many as possible. Find and help 2 x distressed animals in explore."

"I've seen a particular Merged bastard around here. We won't heal the world with one action, but taking down any Merged creature is one step toward it. Defeat 1 x Dungavenhooter and show your full power. Perhaps it will make them leave the swamp."

Unidentified Beings

Unidentified Beings Kinfolk

You've seen many unexplained things in your life, but the sight in front of your eyes is beyond your comprehension. A bipedal creature, despite having a familiar body frame, makes your body stiff with anxiety and all your senses seem fogged...


The more you focus on the being, the more details you can spot. Their natural body armour reminds you of an insect but they're far from that. Even when you get used to how they look, their presence still makes you feel anxious and uneasy. This creature doesn't feel right and something about them is alien to the core. Your instinct tells you to run away but an oddly calming voice speaks to you by your name directly in your head. You don't even truly hear it...you feel it.


"Fear not! We need your cooperation in order to cease this madness. This world's natural balance is in danger. Will you assist us?"

Questing
The strange being is still there, waiting on the frozen plains. They don't scare you now and you feel safe despite the weird aura surrounding them. You would really like to know more about them but an odd feeling makes you think that it could be too much for your mind to comprehend.

"You're back! Choosing you was the right decision. You can do more if you're up to it. It would be highly appreciated."

"If you see 3 x ____ as you go about your day, bring it to us. We would like to take a closer look at it. Our knowledge about this planet expands with each hour. Your assistance is greatly appreciated."

"In order to work effectively and with the most benefit to everyone, we need to study a few examples of local life forms. Don't be afraid, we're not talking about you. 3 x full use carcasses will be enough for a start."

"We need to conduct special research to understand this world better. We believe that you can help us find one of the most complex and varied life forms here: humans. We must remain undetected so this is where you come in. You're skilled at remaining under the radar. Find them, and we'll do the rest."
• Give 3x items* • Give 3x full-use carcasses • Find the livestreamers in the Glacier

* Exact required items will be randomized between Blue Jay Feather, Bone, Charcoal, Dandelion, Medicine: Healing Salve, Mollusk Shell, Nesting Material, and Owl Feather

Walgren Lake Monster

Walgren Lake Monster Kinfolk

Though you've never seen it before, this creature looks oddly familiar. It cocks its head and looks at you with a curious expression.


Large flies swarm around its head, and it reaches up to swat at them with large scaly paws. It manages to catch some and licks the smushed bugs happily off of its palm. Yuck!


"I don't think we've met before, but you sure look familiar. Maybe there's just too many wolves around here for me to keep track. No matter, I still need help."

Questing
The Walgren Lake Monster has made itself right at home. It hunkers down in a cool, muddy spot and sleeps soundly. You wonder how it can be so carefree with all that's going on in the world. It lifts its muddy head expectantly as you approach.

"Good to see you again! You were so helpful last time. Are you ready to help some more?"

"It's about time I made myself a more permanent home. I'll need 5 x large rocks to complete it."

"I'm in the mood for some hunting! I want to watch how you wolves do it. Complete 2 hunts for me."

"I need you to get rid of the Merged around here. They're thick as flies! Defeat 2 x of the Merged cryptids."

Wampus Cat

Wampus Cat Independent

At first glance, the creature doesn't differ much from any other wild cat you've encountered so far. That is until you spot it has an additional pair of limbs, apparently fully functional.


While the extra pair of legs is shorter, the creature uses them naturally and you start to wonder if such a thing could make you better at hunting. The cat's glowing eyes meet yours when it catches you staring at its additional limbs. The sight of its sharp claws suggest that it's probably best to be careful not to anger it.


"Are you here to stare at me like that or will you do something useful for a change?"

Questing
Wampus cat rests in a comfortable spot on the soft grass and minds its own business, licking its paws. It doesn't seem to care much about your presence now that it's used to it, but you can see the hint of tension in its movements. It's way more interested in the results of your work than in you.

"Your work saves my time and effort for the more important stuff. That's something I can appreciate. Will you assist me again?"

"I don't know if I'll stay here for long or not. I like it at the moment but my lair isn't ready yet. I still don't have time to make it, but luckily you have nothing but time. Find 2 x nesting material for me."

"Today's task is simple. Catch me an uncommon fish in the fishing game. What? I know I could do it myself but I simply don't want to. Water is wet, you know. I hate that. You're a...well, not a dog, but you're related, so you like water. Go on now, the fish won't catch themselves!"

"I can tell that you do well with simple things, but now it's time for something more challenging. Complete 3 hunts and come back to me with proof of your skill."
• Give 2x Nesting Material • Catch 1x uncommon fish • Complete 2x hunts

"I wasn't expecting you so soon, it's impressive. I don't have anything more for you today but come back tomorrow."

Water Tiger

Water Tiger Independent

A nearby moss-covered log starts to move, and you realise that it never was a log–it's a large cat. Its fur is green and blue, and blends in well with its surroundings.


The cat appears intimidating, but it doesn't seem particularly bothered by your presence. You sense no malice, instead feeling as though you hold a mutual respect for each other. It sits regally and watches you coolly, inviting you with a sweep of its tail.


"Well look at that, a wolf! Usually I wouldn't even talk to you, but you seem smart and capable. Interested in helping me?"

Questing
If you didn't know what to look for, the Water Tiger would have evaded you. You barely spot the blue pattern on its pelt against the green as it lounges on the mossy log. Its tail is draped over lazily, and swinging back and forth. It looks like it's asleep, but the tail movement and the twitching of its ears tell you otherwise. One blue eye opens and peers at you.

"Ah, there you are. I heard you howling last night. I will never understand the desire...no matter, let's get on with today's task."

"Your coat is shiny and your eyes are bright–I can tell you have some good fish to eat around here. Care to share? Well, even if you don't, you're going to. Go and catch me an uncommon fish in the fishing game and don't go tasting it, you hear?"

"You look fast, which tells me this next task will prove no challenge to you and your pack. I want you to complete 3 hunts. A test of your strength, and good entertainment for me."

"I'm not meant to travel long distances, but you? You're more than capable, and I need that. Complete 1 scouting mission for me. I need to know what this land is like if I'm going to be here awhile."
• Catch 1x uncommon fish • Complete 3x hunts • Complete 1x scouting mission

White Lady

White Lady Independent

You're quite surprised to see a human female in this unfriendly environment. Upon closer inspection, you notice that her skin is ghostly pale and an otherworldly vibe surrounds her, making you feel uneasy.


The ghostly woman stares at you in silence. Her ethereal and luminous gown appears to be moving even without any wind. There is something very sad and melancholic about her expression. She nods slightly, allowing you to come closer.


"If you're here, you must feel the disturbances in this world too. I need your help to bring it back to what it was."

Questing
You can see the white lady from afar. Her spectral body is glowing gently like the moonlight, and she looks at you with the same sadness in her bright eyes as before. However, now you can also feel the weight of the responsibility you were given.

"You're still alive so there's still hope. We'll part ways when this is over but I still need you for now."

"Our bodies are of different natures but some of your medicines have a beneficial effect on me. If you have 2 x ____ to share, it would save me a lot of time."

"I still don't know everything about this place, and it will take time to gather all the necessary information. You're fast, and you're more familiar with this area, so I need you to complete 1 scouting mission and inform me about anything suspicious."

"I need your assistance. There is one creature that constantly comes here and disturbs me. I know that other animals may sense or see me, just like you do, but this one has become a frequent guest. Too frequent. Defeat 1 x ____ for me. You can either kill or chase it away; it doesn't really matter as long as it's gone."
• Give 2x medicines (randomized) • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Glacier Bear, Polar Bear

"Rest assured that your efforts were not in vain. Come back soon, we must continue our work."

White River Monster

White River Monster Independent

With a gaping jaw of sharp teeth that could easily swallow you head first, this giant fish-like creature commands attention with its presence.


The White River Monster uses its large jaws to scoop through the river and catches everything in its path–rocks, plants, fish, even some branches! It crunches down and allows the debris to filter through, revealing a wiggling fish. That's certainly one way to do it!


"Come to help? Good, I know just what to do with you. No refusing, or I'll eat that pretty head of yours."

Questing
With its sharp gaze cast to the sky, the creature is far too focused to notice you at first. It watches as two small birds dart around in the air, appearing thoughtful. If it wasn't earth-bound, you're certain it would try and eat them. The birds dart past your head and the White River Monster turns to you expectantly.

"Look who had the courage to come back! Color me impressed. Ready to serve me?"

"I've heard the fish here are numerous and vary, but I'm stuck to this one area. Bring me something else, anything of the uncommon fish in the fishing game variety will do."

"I don't move much on land; I'm restricted to the water. I need you to be my eyes and complete 1 scouting mission. Be on the lookout for juicy prey, too,"

"You see this 1x ____ skulking around? It's dreadful. Go and defeat it for me. Swallow it whole!"
• Catch one uncommon fish • Complete 1x scouting mission • Defeat 1x local enemy (randomized): Bald Eagle, Black Bear, Grizzly Bear

"Yes, good job and all of that. You helped me for a short blink of my day. Come back later to do it again."

Wisconsin Werewolf

Wisconsin Werewolf Independent

The wolf-like appearance of this creature is familiar until it reveals its bipedal posture. It looms above you and you feel small.


The beast lets out a warning growl at first but stops suddenly, visibly intrigued by your visit. Its ruffled fur adds to the creature's size but you find its human hands and chest scarier. You let it come closer to sniff you, prepared for any possible outcome of this encounter.


"What's your business here? I have some stuff to do and I don't want to be disturbed. Help me or leave."

Questing
The werewolf barely pays attention until you come really close. You don't feel looked down upon but it's clear that the beast couldn't care less about anything else than its own stuff. You are merely a tool to achieve its goals but you know you could benefit from this temporary alliance.

"There you are! You're surprisingly good at this, I must say. You'd be a formidable opponent if you had thumbs. Do you want to try something different now?"

"I need materials to make my lair broader and well-protected. No, I won't tell you where it is. Stop asking so many questions and bring me 5 x large rocks."

"First of all, I'm terribly hungry. If you don't find something soon, you may start looking tasty to me. I've seen a lot of prey around here and they seem confused by everything going on so they will be easy to catch. Bring me 3 x full use carcasses and I may even share some with you."

"I thought that this would be a calm place to settle for a while but they're always after me. Who? Humans, of course. I've seen one intruder lately. You'll recognize him easily. Find the outback old man before he finds me. I don't care how you will deal with him, just get rid of this pest."
• Give 5x Large Rock • Give 3x full-use carcasses • Find the survival man in the Coniferous Forest

"I don't have anything more for you now but come back later."
