| Chase | With the advantage of surprise on your side, the hare's speed does not matter this time! You break its neck before it escapes. | +5% Hunger |
| You launch off like a wild mustang, galloping after the hare! It can zig zag so well that even your wolfish stamina doesn't compare to this speed. You lost this round. | -5% Energy | |
| Watch | You watch as the hare darts around. You try to work out what it's doing. Maybe it's just zoomies. Did it pass by something fluffy? Lucky day! | +1 Gull Carcass |
| Found in: Tundra, Glacier | ||
![]() | ||
| You smell something nice. A small investigation leads you to a big gyrfalcon eating something on the ground. Nearly finished with its meal, it peeks at you from time to time, to make sure you don't try anything funny. | ||
| Chase | You growl and jump at the perfect time to catch the gyrfalcon's tail! It wiggles free, and you spit out its feathers. The carcass it left behind is picked clean. Drat. | +1 Gyrfalcon Feather |

| A large, black-and-white ribbon seal is resting on the icy shore. | ||
| Harass | You approach the seal, but you notice something is attached to its tail. Perhaps you could open up a wound! You manage to pull a blue, human-made string of net, unintentionally freeing the animal. The seal shares a healthy-sized fish with you, grateful for the relief. | +8 HP |
| You run towards the seal, intending to harass it. Perhaps it's wounded? After a few growls and an irritated scream from the seal, a flock of seagulls start to harass you instead! So much for a free meal. | +1 Gull Carcass | |
| You circle around the seal and snarl at it, but it doesn't seem fazed. You start to bark and pretend to bite it, which.. does make it a little angry. It snarls back and shows you its jaws, full of teeth. Okay, okay. You'll stop. | N/A | |
| Swim | You jump into the freezing water with a splash. The seal is watching you from the shore. The more you splash, the more it laughs, and eventually, it joins in! It nudges you from below, so you playfully bite at the water, when suddenly.. it turns red. Oh, no! Thankfully, the confused seal surfaces along with a two-day-old walrus carcass. Whew! | +1 Walrus Pup Carcass |
| You hop into the water, but instead of finding fish, you come across a seal pup! It seems to be struggling with an abandoned net. You take a few bites at the net and end up freeing the pup, but the cold water took its toll on you. You escape before you get frostbite. | -2 - 4 HP | |
| You jump into the freezing water, hoping to find fish or other fun things that a seal could have attracted. There's nothing but wet fur for you. | N/A | |
| Found in: Tundra, Glacier | ||
![]() | ||
| With a wildly flailing tail and lungs as loud as any pup's, an arctic ground squirrel perches on a rock ahead screaming its head off...just for you. Great. | ||
| Pounce | Time to shut this thing up! Your jaws close around the furry squirrel and you can't help but feel a surge of satisfaction as its cries cut off suddenly. | +1 Ground Squirrel Carcass |
| You're in the mood for squirrel today! You almost manage to snatch it, but at the last moment it darts away and races up a tree. A very comfortable looking tree, in fact... you may just take a nap and trap the little bastard up there for a while. Serves it right. | +3% Energy | |
| With a powerful leap you're certain the squirrel is within reach--but it scrambles away, chittering all the while as it disappears into a tree. Ugh. | N/A | |
| Chase | There's nothing like a good chase! You leap at the squirrel and follow it through the trees, barking happily. At last the squirrel grows tired and scrambles up into a tree, dislodging something as it does. | +1 Rattling Spine |
| A chase is a good way to stretch your legs! It's the kind of run that gets your blood pumping and keeps your mind sharp. So much so that you feel a bit refreshed after the chase, ready to take on the world. | +2% Energy | |
| Your idea of a good time and the squirrel's are very different. You try to get the squirrel to let you chase it, but it simply retreats into a tree and ignores you. | N/A | |

| A gigantic creature is emerging from the waters! You watch the humpback whale take a few breaths, following it up with a geyser of water... or spit. | ||

![]() | ||
| This little auk must have gotten separated from its colony. You hear gulls flying above. Perhaps they're harassing this little bird. | ||
| Offer Acorn* | You call the auk over to you, so that you can conduct a trade. An acorn seems like an amazing exotic item that will look just perfect on top of its nest. You're given a few cool shells in return! | +5 Mollusk Shells |

| What's that... a rat? You tilt your head a little. The rodent is carrying some sedge to its burrow. Ah, it must be a northern collared lemming! | ||
| Chase | You grin and start chasing this little rodent! It zig-zags on the snow, and in your attempt to follow it, you end up tripping over something big. Ouch. | +1 Large Branch |
| +1 Large Leaf | ||

| A large bearded seal blocks your way, looking at you almost as if it intends to provoke you. Whatever its intentions are, it's quite intimidating. | ||
| Be friendly | You move closer slowly, smiling in a friendly way and trying to show your best side. Just as you begin to think it's not working, the seal rolls onto its side, inviting you to join in. You're not a master of imitating the seal's style, but it must be the funniest thing that the creature has seen because it can't stop laughing. You're a bit confused, almost offended, when the seal finally stops laughing and thanks you for a good time. The gift you receive makes you feel a bit better. | +1 Large Branch |
| +1 Large Leaf | ||
| +1 Large Rock | ||
| You approach the seal carefully, wagging your tail slowly. After a few seconds of tension, the creature rolls onto its side, letting you sniff around and poke its smooth skin once or twice. You notice something buried in the snow, so you quickly grab it before the seal notices it and can swipe it. | +1 Lucky Foot | |
| Growl | You warn the seal by showing your teeth and letting out a low growl, but it doesn't work the way you planned. The creature charges at you unexpectedly, leaving you no other option than to defend yourself. You're much faster despite your smaller size, which allows you to win without any injuries. | +1 Blubber |
| The seal blocks your way even when you growl at it, baring your teeth in warning. Suddenly, you discover the reason for its aggression when you notice a fish nearby. You've interrupted a meal. Too bad it's about to be yours! You quickly grab the fish, running away before the seal can react. It may be bigger than you, but you're a lot faster. | +1 Dead Fish | |
| You bare your teeth, trying to look intimidating, but the seal doesn't care. The more you stare at it, the more doubts you start to have. Maybe it's better to retreat before this creature decides to charge at you. | N/A | |
![]() | ||
| At first you're fooled into thinking a chunk of ice is floating your way. You quickly realize that it's not ice at all--it's a beluga swimming towards you! | ||
| Bark | You observe the creature carefully, and when it becomes clear that it means to interact with you, you start barking anxiously. Though it doesn't stop the beluga, it approaches to leave something on the ice before disappearing into the cold waves again. It seems like it wanted to be friendly but got discouraged. | +2 Puffin Feather |
| At first, you simply observe the beluga, but when it gets really close, you realize that it clearly wants something from you. You start barking anxiously, which stops the big creature. It stares at you for a few seconds and then disappears among the waves again. Whatever it wanted, you successfully discouraged it. | N/A | |
| Play | There aren't many activities you can do together, but you spend some time observing the beluga, and it gives you a show of impressive water tricks. You wag your tail in excitement, expressing your desire to see it again sometime. The beluga smiles and leaves something on the ice. | +1 Expression: Happy |
| You welcome the beluga with a friendly bark and wagging tail. The creature approaches, performing a few impressive water tricks just for you. In return, you roll on the ice and you both spend a while there, having good fun. There may be more differences than similarities between you but some things will always remain universal. Just before swimming away, the beluga leaves something on the ice. | +1 Gull Feather | |
| You bark with excitement, moving closer, intrigued by the creature. The beluga seems interested in you, too, and performs a few breathtaking water tricks. While you can't join, just watching feels good enough. Suddenly, the beluga comes even closer, leaving something on the ice before swimming away. | +1 Skua Feather | |
| You invite the beluga to come closer, showing your friendly side with a wagging tail and joyful barking. The creature approaches, but just as it gets close enough for you to almost touch it, the beluga dives into the cold waves, disappearing from your sight. | N/A | |

| Protect | You can't let these noisy birds take even the tiniest bit of meat! Determined to safeguard your find, you unleash a show of fury, ready to kill anything that comes near. To your surprise, it works, and the gulls leave you in peace. Now you must hurry and stash the carcass before they change their mind. | +1 Muskox Carcass |
| (not recorded) | (not recorded) | |
| Chase the gulls | Attack is the best defense sometimes. You charge at the gulls before they come too close to your food. They attempt to outsmart you, diving and attacking from the sky. You're smarter, though--nothing your claws can't handle! As soon as the first bird loses a few feathers, the rest lose interest, eventually leaving you in peace. | +3 Gull Feathers |
| You run after the gulls, barking and snarling in an attempt to show off your strength. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop the birds from gathering above your head and swooping down to join you. You try to be patient, thinking that there is enough food for everyone but soon grow tired of waiting. You manage to take a small portion of the food with you. At least it's not a complete defeat. | +1 Meat Chunks [Small] | |
| You chase the gulls with a face full of snarling teeth, but they don't seem to care about you at all. Although you only intended to scare the birds away, when your strategy doesn't work, you catch one of the gulls, treating it as an appetizer before your bigger meal. | +20% hunger | |
| You attack the gulls with a loud growl, trying to appear fierce and bloodthirsty. Unfortunately, the birds know that their power is in numbers and they start to attack you from the sky, pecking you painfully. You're forced to retreat. | result unconfirmed: Illness: Influenza | |
| -2 HP | ||
![]() | ||
| It's always wise to avoid humans, but a harsh environment makes it even easier to want to avoid them. They have tools to dig holes in the ice, and even more tools to take food out of them. Those things look dangerous! | ||
| Steal | The smell of the fish is too tempting to resist, so you decide to at least try to grab one. Unfortunately, you're so excited that you reveal yourself by letting out an uncontrolled whine. You meet the surprised gaze of the humans, and a split second later you're fleeing back the way you came before they use their fancy tools on you. You manage to get away, feeling something sharp hit your back—a warning from the humans. That was close! | +3 Charcoal |
| The humans are so absorbed in their activities that they aren't paying attention to anything behind them. You don't have much time to act, so you grab the first fish you can reach. It's not big, but it's tasty, especially since you didn't have to catch it yourself. | +3 HP | |
| Step by step, you try to get closer to the fish that has already been caught. It's unreal how tempting the smell is, but you try to remain calm. Unfortunately a soft, uncontrolled whine escapes your muzzle and alerts the humans, leaving you no other choice but to leave before they try to harm you. | N/A | |
![]() | ||
| A harp seal rests calmly on the snow with its fluffy pup by its side. The little pup looks at you with curiosity rather than fear. | ||
| Hunt | Your plan is promising at first, but the seals can sense your intentions and become more anxious with each step you take. Suddenly, the pup's mother warns you not to approach any closer and points at a few bones lying nearby, trying to convince you that they're the remains of her previous enemies. You don't believe a word she says, but you're also not in the mood for a fight. If you can't have a meal, you'll at least have something to play with. Without saying a word, you take the bones and go about your day. | +2 Bones |
| It's clear that the seals don't see you as a threat, as they let you approach quite close. When you grab the pup, it's too late for its mother to react and when she starts chasing you, you're already far beyond her reach. | +1 Seal Pup Carcass | |
| The seals mostly ignore you as you slowly approach them, but as you get closer the pup gets more distressed, perhaps sensing your malicious intentions. Its mother charges at you without warning, and you're lucky to be quick enough to avoid more serious wounds. | -2 HP | |
| You try to get as close as possible without looking suspicious, but the seals see right through your charade. You're forced to retreat, as fighting with a full-grown seal protecting its pup won't end well for you. | N/A | |
| Play | You approach slowly, wagging your tail and trying to look harmless. To your surprise, the mother allows her pup to play with you for a while, and soon you both roll in the snow, sharing a good time. This young seal is not unlike wolf pups. The pup shows you its little treasure: fresh duck eggs! Seeing your hungry stare, it selflessly shares some with you. | +2 Duck Eggs |
| Trying to appear friendly and harmless, you approach slowly, giving the seals time to accept your presence. Your plan works, and the pup comes closer to inspect you, while its mother watches carefully, ready to intervene at any moment. Wanting to avoid causing harm, you roll in the snow, letting the pup poke you with its nose as much as it wants. As you prepare to leave, the pup gives you an acorn, insisting that you take it. Is there something special about it? | +1 Acorn | |
| You try to show your friendly intentions as you approach the seals, but while the pup is very curious about you, its mother looks defensive and ready to attack at any moment. Perhaps today is not the day for a play date. | N/A | |

| An annoying squawking sound from above makes it difficult to focus. When your patience reaches its limit, you look up, prepared to take action. | ||
| Offer Acorn* | There's one effective way to make the bird stop: stuffing its beak with food! In fact, the same would work for you. The bird takes the acorn, giving you something in return. | +1 Recipe: Playful Jaeger |
| Jump | That's enough! You jump as high as possible to reach the bird when it teases you again. You miss it by a whisker, ending up with one of its feathers in your mouth. Fortunately, you've scared it enough to make it fly away for good. Ah, sweet silence. | +1 Jaeger Feather |
| When the bird starts teasing you again, you decide you've had enough. You jump as high as you can, catching it easily. | +10% Hunger | |

| The human voice is so specific that you realize immediately what the shrieking noises are; but these humans are laughing, which makes curiosity boil under your skin. When you follow the sound, you see two of humans enjoying sliding down a snowy hill. | ||
| Approach the hill | After some hesitation, you decide not to wait until the humans are gone. You let them mind their own business, and they should do the same, right? Unfortunately, as soon as they recognize your silhouette, they start panicking, leaving their sleds on the snow. At least you have what you wanted: peace and the entire area to yourself to check carefully. It's only a matter of time until you find something useful. | +1 Large Branch |
| +1 Large Leaf | ||
| +1 Large Rock | ||
| You don't try to hide yourself, believing that the humans won't care about you if you ignore them. However, as soon as you appear in their sight, they start panicking and talk to each other really fast, which leaves you confused. Suddenly, one of them raises their arm to toss something at you in the hope of distracting you for a while. Your nose recognizes the smell of a whale bone. Did they want to feed you? You hope they throw something at you again, but when you look, the humans are gone. | +1 Whale Rib Bone | |
| While you don't want humans to see you, the hill itself looks interesting enough to take a closer look. You have to wait a really long time, as the humans just don't want to leave, sliding down the hill over and over again. When you are finally able to approach it, you don't find anything worth your attention. What a waste! | N/A | |

| A ringed seal observes you with a bored expression, following your every step. You feel its judgemental gaze. | ||
| Join | You approach the seal, sitting by its side in silence, ready to relax for a while. A delicious scent reaches your nose, and you notice that the seal was about to eat a fresh fish when you interrupted its meal. Feeling unwelcome, you go to leave--but not without a snack. You quickly grab a fish and run away before the seal is able to react. | +1 Dead Fish |
| You sit next to the seal, deciding to relax next to it for a while. The creature doesn't mind having you by its side but it remains silent. It's okay, you don't need to talk; you already feel energized. | +3% Energy | |
| You approach the seal, sitting next to the creature in silence. It stares at you anxiously at first, but when it notices your peaceful attitude, the tension disappears. You share a few thoughts about the latest news, but what you enjoy the most is the silence and emptiness of this area. As you get ready to continue your journey, you feel refreshed, like after a nap. | +3 HP | |
| (not recorded) | +2 HP | |
| You go closer, ready to rest next to the seal and just relax a bit, but the creature doesn't share the same peaceful attitude. As soon as you sit on the snow, it attacks you, fiercely protecting its little spot. You quickly run away, grateful that you are fast enough to avoid a more serious injury. | -2 HP | |
| You move closer with the peaceful intention of resting here for a while. The seal remains silent even when you try to start a conversation. When you run out of ideas, you decide to leave, feeling a bit frustrated. If this seal acts this way all the time, then it's no wonder why they usually live alone. | N/A | |
| Approach | As you get closer, you notice the seal is munching on something that smells delicious. You lick your mouth a few times, making the creature feel a bit uneasy. It turns its back to you, showing a complete lack of interest and no intention to share its meal. You sniff around, only to find crab remains covered with snow. It's not your preference, but it may be useful later. | +1 Crab Leg |
| When you take a closer look, you notice that the seal is eating something. The perfect opportunity! With one precise jump, you steal the meat right in front of the seal's nose. It knows you're faster, so it doesn't even try to chase you. | +1 Delicate Meat | |
| You move a bit closer, noticing that the seal is eating something. It pauses its meal, waiting for you to leave. After a while, it becomes clear to the creature that you're going to stay there, so it shares a small portion with you, asking you to eat it somewhere else. | +2 HP | |
| You pad a bit closer, but the seal ignores you, looking in a different direction when you lower your head to sniff it. After a moment of awkward silence, you decide to leave. | N/A | |

| This may be the biggest boat you've ever seen! It seems like humans live on it temporarily while they explore the area. When you spot them on the shore, they appear tiny in comparison to the massive construction. | ||
| Sneak in | It's not easy to hide among so many people, but you remember that their sense of smell is weak. With so much strange stuff on the boat, you may succeed if you find enough objects to hide behind. This sounds like a challenge! You manage to enter the board with your heart racing in your chest. There's not much time to fool around, so you trust your nose to lead you to the closest treat there is to find, and you're not disappointed. | +1 Chicken Roast |
| It may not be the wisest decision, but there are no rewards without risk. You enter the boat carefully, hiding in the shadows and pretending you're not there. It's not a playground, so you decide to retreat as soon as you find something even remotely interesting. After a while of intense sniffing, you spot something worth taking. | +1 Lucky Foot | |
| Sniff around | There is some human equipment left on the shore, and it's safer to check that out instead of trying to sneak into the ship. You still remain cautious, aware of even the most subtle crack in the snow. One of the boxes looks easy to open, and the scent is irresistible. It takes a while and a little force, but you finally succeed, making a lot of noise. With no time to think, you grab the tasty meat to eat in peace. | +5 HP |
| You decide not to go inside and instead look around the outside. There's a lot of human stuff in all shapes and sizes. You have no idea what they use it for, and even guessing is beyond your imagination, as everything they do is completely alien to you. Suddenly, you catch a nice, herbal smell, leading you to something a bit more familiar. The bite-sized snack is small, but you feel better instantly. | +2 HP | |
| Checking the boat from the inside is truly tempting, but you have to be realistic. It could end really badly, so it's better to stay away. However, there are some items on the shore that you find worth checking out. A very inviting scent lures you even more, but suddenly, a shouting human voice scares you and forces you to run. It was all too risky anyway. | N/A | |
