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!

BESTIARY EVENT — ANIMAL/BEAST SIGN-UPS

[dualcross]

Name: Lapahn
Classification: Beast/Animal
Physical Characteristics: These massive snow rabbits can grow to be the size of a grizzly bear, and have a attitude and viciousness that can equal or even rival that of said grizzly. They're highly intelligent and very capable fighters and don't take too well to anyone or anything invading their territory. Mostly seen standing on two legs, the Lapahn species can roam on all fours for increased speed, agility, and maneuverability - especially while jumping and running. Their forearms have sharp, non-retractable claws and their teeth and long and pointed.
Diet: Carnivorous.
Habitat: Extreme cold, preferably the caves or winter months when snow is plentiful. Can be seen during late and sometimes early fall months, when the air is dry and cool as well.
Lifespan: Unknown within canon, but could be several decades, not exceeding perhaps four.
Additional Information: Lapahns are pack/group hunters. It is very rare to see one alone. Because of this, and the fact they are so intelligent, a direct confrontation is unwise and plainly suicidal.
Picture: Here.
And here, for a 100x100 icon.
Would you like to see this animal added to the bestiary long-term?: Yes!

Name: Humandrills
Classification: Beast/Animal
Physical Characteristics: Looking akin to large baboons ranging in size from an average man to nine feet, humandrills are pack/group hunters with a sole patriarch, which usually is the largest and strongest of the troop. They can be seen wielding weapons and even wearing armor, as these extremely intelligent creatures tend to mimic what is done around them.
Diet: Omnivorous.
Habitat: Mostly plains and/or forested areas, but they are curious animals, so they will wander into human dwellings and civilizations just to observe the goings-on and perhaps copy what they see people doing.
Lifespan: Unknown in canon, but estimated to be no more than 30 years.
Additional Information: Humandrills are the literal embodiment of the phrase "monkey see, monkey do". They are very smart and adept at learning on their feet and catching on to using and implementing tools, weapons, and even armor effectively and very quickly. Because they are basically the copycats of their world, it's been said that Humandrills dwelling next to people that are docile and nonviolent will, in turn, be the same way. Those that have lived in war-torn or violent places will thus be conditioned to live and act similarly. And yes, they can copy a person's fighting style, if they're a weapons or even a fighting master.

Would you like to see this animal added to the bestiary long-term?: Yes, please!

Name: Sky Fox
Classification: Beast/Animal/Pet
Physical Characteristics: Usually small and with a brilliant white coat, Sky foxes only differ from normal arctic foxes in that their snouts are elongated and generally look almost trunk or proboscis-like. They are also about the size of a domestic house cat or small dog.
Diet: Omnivore.
Habitat: Plains and wooded areas, or anywhere they can feel comfortable.
Lifespan: Unknown in canon, but estimated to be no more than 12 years.
Additional Information: Sky foxes are very docile, curious, and intelligent creatures and make marvelous pets. They can understand human speech very well and are loyal and devoted to those they care for.

Approved as long as you send me a Sky Fox specifically in real life.

(They will be added to the bestiary long-term during the event!)
