Swooping Season ( 09/01 - 09/30 ) Suggested by deltogling For the whole month, some of the local birds will be very territorial in the areas they've set up their nests. Should human or animal wander too close, they may find themselves divebombed by an overprotective parent, usually the father. The instances may not be too common, but you may want to watch where you're settling down. For quick reference, here's a wiki page.

H2O Squared ( 09/08 - 09/14 ) Suggested by leashed_hunter On the morning of the 8th, there's a light rain. Only 2 cm (~.7 in), nothing unusual. There's 4 cm (just over 1.5 in) on the 9th which still isn't a big deal, but 16 cm (~6 in) of rain on the 10th as the winds start picking up may be cause for concern. On the 11th, the rain will stop, but it's only a short break. The 12th through 14th will see a massive rainstorm pounding the city, bringing the total rainfall to 256 cm or just under 8.4 ft by the time the storm finally heads out to sea. We sure hope no one's living in the caves when the ocean level rises and people can find high ground away from the river.

Where the Wild Things Are ( 09/22 - 09/28 ) Suggested by collegedropout The heavy rains earlier in the month have had more consequences than just new structures getting flooded. The local animals have also had their homes flooded and are going to be wandering through the Safezone looking for new shelter. And they don't care where they look. So maybe you'll have a temporary roommate until they start heading off to the Wastes or elsewhere. For an idea of what critters may come waltzing through, please refer to the updated lists. If you want to submit a creature from your character's world to join the invasion, feel free here!

Re: BESTIARY EVENT — ANIMAL/BEAST SIGN-UPS

[dicey]

Name: Vriska's Lusus
Classification: Arachnid
Physical Characteristics: She looks pretty much like a regular spider, but huge-- seriously, the thing is bigger than a house. She presumably eats her prey just like regular spiders eat insects-- immobilizing them with venom, wrapping them up in a web for later, and so on.
Diet: Prefers troll children, but will branch out and eat anything-- including humans and other Adstringendum residents.
Habitat: Caves and caverns. Quiet slow, and doesn't move around much on her own-- she prefers to wait for her prey to come (or be brought) to her.
Lifespan: Unknown
Additional Information: Since this is a specific creature, it might not be acceptable for this (there are lusii of all sorts in canon, but more than one of the same type is never shown; for all we know, Vriska's lusus was the only giant spider lusus in existence), but I figured I'd try anyway! She's also dead in canon, if that makes any difference.
Picture: One, two
Would you like to see this animal added to the bestiary long-term?: I think it'd be interesting! But I'm not married to the idea, especially since I'm not sure she'd be acceptable even for just the plot.

Approved! If you would like to do a plot involving the Lusus during the event or have the creature vanish to the wastes for use for a later time, you're more than welcome to! We'll need a really big can of bug spray.

I'd love to have it vanish into the Wastes to be discovered again (either by Vriska or someone else)!

[adstringendummod]

Excellent! If you have no plans on killing it during the event, then it can run off into the wastes for use later! Always nice to have a big scary spider handy for spooky player stuff.
