The December event launches on December 1st at 00:00am LDT, and will end on December 31st at 11:59pm LDT. All unused event currency will be stored on your account until next year.

December Event - Winter, Giving and Pooping

It's the Season of Giving! You can smell visit other players' dens and choose what you want to leave: a nice gift or a smelly poop! Gifting and pooping can be done every day. The gifting and pooping cooldowns will reset each Wednesday and Saturday at rollover allowing you to gift (or poop) the same players again! A real gift (currency and items) will push the Gifting Bar towards unlocking the tiers of the Guelta, as well as raise your karma by +1 with each gift you leave. A poopy gift will raise the Poop Bar towards unlocking the tiers of the Wallowing Pit and lower your karma by -1 with each poop you leave. Receiving poop isn't so shitty! You'll see why later.

Both bars can be fully unlocked, so don't worry - one does not exclude the other! However, there is a third bar below them, and it requires both bars to reach Tier 1 in order to open! This bar also has 3 tiers in total - it's the Mantis Shop! Yay!

Goodie Bags are disabled from gifting - you cannot leave them in other players' dens.

Remember that you can open your den gifts starting on December 25th 00:00am LDT and ending on December 31st 11:59pm LDT! Any unopened gifts will roll over to next year.

Note: You cannot ask for gifts or poops in any chat channel. You can advertise gifting/pooping threads in Sales Chat only.

Stink Bugs?

Explore encounters this month have our typical goofy Lioden humour - we just go extra silly this month!

Stink Bugs are the currency for December's event. You can gather them from event-related explore encounters. Some of the encounters do affect karma, but not all of them! Poop bundles also have a chance of producing a Stink Bug when you open them!

You can spend your Stink Bugs in the Mantis Shop on all the fancy applicators and decors it contains, as well as the Pose: Jolly [F] applicator.

Event Specials!

The Advent Calendar

The sets that we had available between 2013 and 2020 have already rotated twice, and we believe the decors are fairly available year-round via the market. Per popular vote within a recent site poll, the first set of decors from 2013 will re-appear in the game within the Mantis Shop.

Merry AWD Decor Tier 3	Albino Snake Decor Tier 3	Albino Crocodile Decor Tier 3	[S] Snowball Plant Decor Tier 3
Albino Dik Dik Decor Tier 3	Greater Striped Swallow Decor Tier 3	[S] Haworthia Decor Tier 3

This means that this year, a completely new set appears and will appear again in 2023! The items and artwork will be "unlocked" and visible in the Lion Wardrobe hours before the Advent Calendar starts.

The Advent Calendar decors are completely free - you just have to log in and claim your prize under the EVENT tab! You are required to open them in order of release, but if you miss a day, don't worry - you'll be able to collect all of your prizes as long as you click them in order.

The Advent Calendar runs from December 22nd 00:00am LDT up until and including December 29th 11:59pm LDT, but we will leave it up until December 30th to make sure everyone gets a chance to collect their gifts.

The Theme

* Albino explore encounters are a theme that we wanted to put in to celebrate winter, as most of our playerbase is from the northern hemisphere.
* The muddy/poopy encounters we've kept in year-round were added in this event a few years ago (Dirty Warthog, Elephant Dung, and Lion Scat). They're nothing new, but they're how this event started!
* The Wallowing Pit items are still mostly smelly and useless... but, you can find some treasures as well!

Something Builds Up...

The winter in Africa is... not really wintery. It's summer there, actually. But most Liodenians (Liodeners? ) live in the northern hemisphere and we all love snow time! To somehow mix lion and player fun, something fluffy and white will appear very slowly, so as to not disturb the African feeling of the game. The more tiers that you open, the more of this white stuff will appear in Explore and in other places, but not too much, and not yet. And then the Snuhlions will appear in the dens.

2021

As tiers of the event open, plenty of new, very snowy encounters will appear in-game! Keep an eye out for them!

Remember that the Wet Season lasts for the entire month of December!

New Applicator Set!

This year, we're adding a Ragdoll applicator set based on this suggestion! Thank you very much, honey (#32043)!

Ragdoll is a Cream Medium Countershaded Special base that is tied to Tan skin.

The base applicator will be available within the Mantis Shop in the highest tier, alongside a matching set of markings and a mane colour! You can get a sneak peek of the base right away in the Lion Wardrobe, but the mane colour and markings will be added to the game sometime around this month's Development update - December 10th!

Mantis Shop

We're starting off with a few wonderful decors in the lowest tier from our art team!

Zvončari Mask Tier 1	Coal Bag and the Birch Rod Tier 1	Albino Warthog Tier 1	High Atlas Tier 1
Snowy Rwenzori Tier 1	Snowy Savanna Tier 1	Chonky Ragdoll Tier 3	Ragdoll Scratch Marks Tier 3
Ragdoll Fluff Tier 3

Even more Mantis Shop content for later tiers as well as Wallowing Pit rewards (and maybe something extra!) will be added in our Development update!
