Encounters in Every Biome

Encounters in Every Biome

You spot something laying abandoned by the entrance to a rabbit burrow. It's been nibbled on but the scent of rabbit is stale now. You sniff at it, wondering what its purpose is. It's a cluster of branches and sticks tied together in the shape of a human. Maybe it will be useful later?
Take Effigy	You gently move to take the effigy, using care as you slide it into your jaws. It seems strange, and for some reason you feel a little dizzy after grabbing it, but you have a feeling it will be useful later, so you take it with you.	+1 ME
	You gently move to take the effigy, but even though you exercise care, the item seems to... React negatively to you?! With a sharp hissing noise, the effigy begins to unravel in your jaws - and with what feels like a bolt of lightening and a sudden snap, it sends a shock of heat through your muzzle and crumbles to dust. What the hell?!	-2 HP
	You gently move to take the effigy, but as your jaws clamp gingerly around it, the effigy crumbles into a crispy, flaky dust. Sadly, the mysterious effigy has disintegrated, and you have to walk away empty pawed.	N/A

A funny-looking figure is wedged between two low-hanging tree branches. It looks harmless, but you feel uneasy looking at it. Perhaps it was some sort of toy once, and has been discarded by a human? The pups in your den might like playing with it, so you pull it down and take it with you.

The river has washed something ashore, and you're not quite sure what to make of it. It's soggy and smells wrong, but is oddly intact despite the roughness of the water. You pick it up in your jaws and try to ignore the gross, slimy taste.

You're tracking a herd of deer when you come across an object that has been kicked and stomped on. Hoofprints cover the ground around it, as if it had been purposefully targeted. Had it spooked the deer? You peer at it, and it looks like a simple bundle of sticks put together by humans. It doesn't seem very damaged, either. Weird!

While treading a well-worn path, your pelt begins to prickle and you feel a deep sense of foreboding. You sniff the air, but there's nothing out of the ordinary. As you look around you see a shadowy shape lurking in the grass. You make your way toward it on high alert, but quickly realize it's just some sort of human thing made out of sticks. Had someone left it here?

You stop to sniff a pile of poo and to your surprise, it's covering something! It's not exactly fun, but you dig the object out of the pile. It smells like shit, but it looks harmless. Why would someone poop on it? Was it offensive? Well, it's clear the previous owner no longer wants it, so you take it with you.

A nice breeze ripples through your fur, and you stop to enjoy it. The smell of burning wood passes under your nose, and you turn with disgust to see where it's coming from. You follow the scent and find a half-burned form laying in a bare patch of dirt, smoldering. It looks vaguely human, and you poke it with a paw. How strange. Maybe your herbalist can use it for something.

On the path ahead something is standing upright. It's small but...you hesitate to go near. Something is telling you to be wary. One paw at a time, you go up to it and give it a good sniff. Just the same damp smell as the trees. The air is still and the sound of life in the air has gone silent. This doesn't belong here, of that you're sure. Perhaps it would be best to remove it for now.

The shriek of a large bird as it flies over your head draws your attention. As you look up, something heavy and painful lands on your head. Ouch! You leap back, shaking your head to get your wits back, and look around for the culprit. You spot a bundle of sticks tied together in the strangest way sitting in the grass. Had that dumb bird dropped it on you? How rude!

Your nose leads you to a half eaten carcass that still has some meat on it. Score! As you prepare to eat your fill, you notice something stashed inside of it. It's a little human form made out of skinny wood pieces. What the heck was it doing here? Maybe someone had left it in a rush. It would explain the abandoned carcass. Well, more for you!

A weird pile of dried leaves and pebbles draws your attention from afar. While it doesn't look unnatural, there is something strange sticking out of it and you instantly have a heavy feeling in your gut, as if something is observing you. You pull the thing out carefully and it turns out to be a stick figure made by humans. Why is it here? Is it precious or cursed?

A small shape is standing still in the distance. Is it an unsuspecting rodent? In the hopes of scoring a quick snack, you try to take it by surprise. Upon going closer, you realize that it's just a human-made figure made of sticks. You are disappointed, but a strange feeling that this thing is out of the ordinary settles in your mind and won't go away.

You are relaxing under a tree when you suddenly notice an odd shadow dancing in the corner of your eye. Are your senses fooling you? Determined to find its source, you stand up and sniff around. The strange shadow belongs to a human-made toy of sticks, hanging on a branch right above you. Is it really a toy? Toys should bring joy and you can't help but feel uneasy by its presence.

You almost trip over something sticking out of the muddy shore. What appears to be a simple stick at first turns out to be a bundle of them tied together as you pull it out. The little thing is obviously made by humans but its purpose is a mystery to you. It's possible it's something to play with, but it's so unsettling that you hesitate to touch it again.

A new, faint scent catches your attention. You follow it for a while, finding a strange object that resembles something that only humans create. Strangely enough, there is no sign of a human presence anywhere. You have no idea what this object is used for but you are absolutely certain that it has some mysterious purpose.

The object in front of you looks abandoned, as if it has been waiting here for you for a really long time. However, its scent is odd, like a mixture of herbs and something you can't identify, which means someone or something has purposefully left it here. While it looks like a bunch of harmless sticks bound together, there is something unsettling about it.

You almost fall into a shallow hole, covered with dried leaves and branches. The spot isn't a trap nor a hiding spot. At the bottom, you find a weird shape made out of sticks and you can't figure out what its purpose is. It looks innocent but your gut feeling is telling you to be careful. Besides the object, there is nothing else inside the hole, as if someone wanted to get rid of it quickly.

A faint but very peculiar scent leads you to a hollow tree trunk. Excitement ripples through you as you shove your nose in. Something is stuck inside and it takes a while until you can get it out. The strange scent belongs to a stick figure which looks human-made, but there are no other signs of any human presence. Well, the thing is yours now and perhaps you will be able to find a purpose for it.

The loud, sharp noise of fighting foxes is something that you simply have to check out. There is a high chance of grabbing a free snack but the sight is different than you expected. The foxes are fighting over something that looks like a useless toy made of sticks. You don't even have to snarl at them to scare them away. The sticks that make up the small figure are tied together in a strange manner. Typical humans, creating silly things that have no use. The shape itself loosely resembles a human too. This alone makes the object more interesting.

A sharp pain in your paw forces you to stop chasing a delicious-looking rabbit. You were so close! All this effort for nothing. Upset and disappointed, you turn back to investigate the reason behind your failure. There is an odd shape made of sticks in the middle of the path, covered partly by dirt. You've never seen anything like it but you know that it's clearly a human-made thing. You can't decide if it's intriguing or creepy.

The black, shadowy shape looks like an ordinary wolf at first, but you can sense that something is not right. It has abnormally long teeth and reddish saliva, resembling both blood and lava at the same time. Despite its scary appearance, you have the overwhelming feeling that it's suffering.
Try to scare it away	You bare your teeth, trying to look as intimidating as possible. You're sure that the wolf can smell your fear, but to your surprise, the intimidation strategy works flawlessly. The demonic wolf takes a step back and loses interest in you. Now is your chance to flee!	+2 ME
	You let out a low growl, taking a step forward. While you appear confident and strong, the demonic wolf senses your fear and calls you on your bluff. It leaps at you silently like a nightmare, leaving you very little time to react. Somehow, you manage to escape, but you can feel a deep ache in your bones. That's gonna hurt later!	+2 ME -2 HP

A reddish spot in the air looks like an ember, but when you focus on it, you notice it's a butterfly. While its appearance is distorted, it looks oddly... pretty.
Follow	You feel a bit mesmerised by the wings, seemingly staring at you and enticing to follow the butterfly. You follow, cautiously, until you find a dead animal. Yikes!	+1 ME +1 Random Medium Carcass
Catch	You are curious about this insect! It would be awesome to study it closer, maybe even dry it up and hang it in your den? You try to catch it, but as soon as your jaws land on its wings, it dissolves into the air. The taste is incredibly bitter, but you actually feel a bit refreshed!	+1 ME +3 HP
	This butterfly would look amazing in your collection of dried insects! You run after it and try to grab it, but your jaw locks on the odd misty trail it leaves in its wake as it disappears. It's disgusting and leaves a weird, tingling feeling in your mouth.	+2 ME -3 HP

From a distance, the body of this small fox cub appears to be a carcass. As you approach, you uncover the horrible truth—it's still alive, but barely breathing. Demonic growths have contorted its body in a painful manner, leaving it almost unable to move.
Take it to the herbalist	You can't do anything, but taking the cub to the herbalist is better than leaving it here. The world is changing so quickly. As you carry the cub to your den, you look for anything that may be useful.	+2 ME +1 Random Herb +1 Random 4-Use Carcass
End its pain	It's not easy to watch this little one suffer so much. It takes only a few seconds but feels a lot longer when you look at its tiny body. The poor thing had only just started its life.	+2 ME +1 Random Herb

A shape resembling a bear is sitting in the middle of your path, struggling to move. Usually you'd ignore it or perhaps even make a meal of it, but this is no ordinary bear. Its jaws are distorted and full of twisted, long teeth, preventing it from properly closing its mouth. It's on the verge of dying, and you are likely witnessing its last moments.
Ask what happened	You're intrigued more than scared. If it's not a demonic being, then something changed the bear into this miserable creature. It could happen to you, too. When you ask the bear about its situation, it stares back at you with its eyes full of pain. It tries to speak but its words remain an incomprehensible murmur. Then, in a sudden and unexpected burst of strength, the creature lunges at you with a thunderous roar, delivering a painful bite. You manage to escape, but is its condition contagious? It's probably best to get the bite treated by your herbalist.	+2 ME -2 HP
	N/A	Automatic battle encounter with Affected Weak Bear
Kill it	It could be a demonic being, but this bear appears... ill. And if this is a disease, then it may be contagious. You can't let it live, or else everyone around here could turn into monsters. Suddenly, the bear counterattacks with unexpected agility and strength. Had it all been a game to lure you closer? It's too late to think about that now. You use your last bit of energy to flee, but you feel a stinging in your side. That's one nasty bite!	+3 ME Illness: Infection
		+3 ME -2 HP
	It's not only an act of mercy but also a preventive measure against its... disease. If it isn't a monster, then you're doing the world a favor before everyone turns into something twisted like this. You thought it would be easy, but the creature is stronger than it appears, and its nasty teeth manage to sink into your skin. Injured but ultimately victorious as you deliver the killing blow, you know such a grim end is necessary.	+2 ME -3% Energy

At first, it looks like a common bat, but as soon as you notice its glowing eyes and the growths on its skin, you realize it's twisted beyond normalcy. Its mind is clouded, and the only emotions it can feel now are rage and pain.
Chase	You try to avoid the creature, but it insists on blocking your path. With a loud growl you run after the bat, trying to chase it off. The creature is faster, thanks to its unnatural powers, and stays just out of reach. Irritated, you turn to leave, but the faint scent of herbs catches your attention. Something interesting is growing here!	+2 ME +1 Random Herb
	At first, you try to scare the bat away, but the influence of the dark magic makes it more fierce and aggressive than usual. Your anger grows with time, reaching the point where you jump after the bat with a snarl. You're so focused on the creature that you don't notice a rock in your path and trip over it painfully and watch as the bat flies away.	-5 HP
Kill	This bat is faster and stronger than usual due to the influence of magic, but you are no ordinary wolf. It's not a challenge at all! The body of the bat feels peculiar to the touch, yet somehow refreshing.	+5% Energy
	Dispatching the creature only proves that your skills have improved with the new energies flowing beneath your skin. You hold onto the dead bat in your mouth for a moment, enjoying your victory, but it begins to make your mouth tingle and you let it fall to the ground.	-5% Energy

While the deer is undoubtedly dead, its afflicted body seems to possess a life of its own with red, glowing veins and growths that appear to move. It looks like it's breathing! Spooky.
Investigate	It's not wise to touch meat like this. Even if it smells tasty, the outcomes of eating it could be unpredictable. Instead, you decide to poke around the carcass to see if there's anything to find. The scent of the changed deer is still familiar, but a hint of something unknown and hostile lingers around its body even after death. You manage to find something useful tucked underneath the twisted carcass.	+3 ME +1 Random Amusement Item +1 Random Critter Carcass
Eat	You know it's risky, but you'll never know if you don't try. You decide not to worry until something bad happens. The taste is similar to what you expect, but the true difference is felt after it settles in your stomach. A wave of warmth goes through your body, refreshing it as if you just woke up from a good nap.	+2 ME +5 HP
	As soon as you take a bite, you regret it. The meat tastes good at first, but that little bite sends a painful sensation through your entire body. It's best to leave it alone.	+1 ME -5 HP

Whoa! If death could walk, it would be this thing… and it's locked on you!
Battle	N/A	Automatic battle encounter with Corrupted Abomination

A huge, dead tree appears to scratch the sky with its distorted, twisted branches that resemble clawed hands. Its exposed roots give the impression that the tree i in the midst of stepping out of the ground. Maybe it really is alive...?
Rest	While the appearance of this tree isn't very inviting, it does seem like a calm place. You relax among the protruding roots and close your eyes for a brief moment. When you wake up, you realize that your slept longer than you intended, but it was certainly refreshing. You have an odd feeling that the pleasant dream you had about your fur being caressed and groomed wasn't just a dream. The clawed branches seemed to have changed positions while you slept. How odd.	+2 ME +1 Random Amusement Item
	While it might seem like an unusual place to relax, it's just a tree. There's nothing here that can truly harm you, right? Initially you feel at ease among the exposed roots, but the longer you stay the more exhausted you feel. The exhaustion begins to settle over you like a heavy blanket, and you struggle to stay awake. You have to get away before you pass out!	+1 ME -5% Energy
Dig	Surely an extraordinary place must be hiding extraordinary things. You detect a faint scent above the layer of dirt and dried leaves. Whoever thought that the tree might scare potential visitors, was wrong--a little tree doesn't scare you. Score!	+3 ME +1 Random Medium Carcass +1 Random Herb
		+3 ME +1 Random Skull
	You begin to dig with enthusiasm, expecting to uncover something as rare and intriguing as the tree itself. Suddenly, the root of the tree under your paw begins to move! You initially ignore it, but when a wave of short, sharp pain shoots through your body, you jump away in fear. The tree slapped you like an annoying bug! At least you managed to dig something out.	+2 ME -5 HP

You warily approach a deep hole, pelt prickling. The water inside this hole has a reddish tone and appears oddly dense...just like blood. Is it even possible for water to look like blood? Even the hole itself doesn't appear entirely natural, and more like someone dug it. You're almost certain you notice movement right beneath the surface, too.
Hunt	It takes a while and a good bit of patience, but when the strange shadow apears near the surface again, you catch it quickly. However, as you scoop it out with a paw, it stops moving completely and you notice some missing body parts. This fish shouldn't be alive in the first place, much less able to swim around	+2 ME +1 Dead Fish
Investigate	Whatever dwells in this water can't be edible. You decide to sniff around the area instead. You catch an unfamiliar scent and notice pawprints on the ground, much smaller than yours. They lead to a small hiding spot, covered with pebbles.	+3 ME +1 Random Herb +1 Random Skull
		+2 ME +1 Random 8-Use Carcass
	You're not really interested in the water; its smell is strange, and you feel sick at the mere thought of eating anything that lives there. The surrounding area, however, is worth checking out. You notice claw marks on the ground and the bony remains of someone's meal. There's something else here as well.	+3 ME +2 Random Herbs
Drink	You lower your head to try the strange liquid. To your surprise, it doesn't taste as awful as it looks. In fact, the taste is quite normal, and you even start to feel better. How is that possible?	+5% Energy +5 HP
	The bitter taste makes you sneeze and take a few steps back. You regret touching this cursed liquid, and you can already tell that you'll regret that sip later.	Illness: Diarrhea

The silhouette of a deer looks both familiar and a bit unsettling, and you can't quite pinpoint why at first. As the deer turns to face you, you notice its eye sockets are hollow while its glowing red eyes stare malevolently from its antlers. It's as if the creature can see into your soul.
Staring contest	The deer keeps staring at you as if it is waiting for you to make the slightest bit of movement. Maybe it can't see you as long as you don't move? You decide to accept the challenge, which ends up being a lot harder than you thought it would be. When you're close to giving up, the deer shakes its head and turns away, leaving you alone. Now you can explore this area in peace.	+2 ME +1 Random Medium Carcass +1 Random Herb +1 Random Skull
		+2 ME +1 Random Skull
	The deer seems to remain calm as long as you stay still. Can it see you at all? You stare back, holding your breath, and stilling your mind. It isn't as easy as it seems; the deer is patient and focused, like a predator. You recognize the look: the gaze of a hunter. You take a step back by accident, which triggers the deer to charge at you without warning. You're lucky to be agile and experienced; it could have ended much worse, but you manage to escape.	+1 ME -4 HP
Growl	You have some doubts, but as the deer takes a step forward, you bare your teeth and let out a low, beastly growl. It seems unfazed, staring at you so intensely you lose the ability to move at all. Unable to react under the hypnosis, you stand helplessly as the deer kicks and spits at you. It's only after it walks away that you are able to move again.	+1 ME -3 HP

You stop mid-step when you feel a strange, energizing sensation. While everything around looks normal, you definitely feel different here. The air feels refreshing, and even just standing here makes you feel better.
Close your eyes	With your eyes closed, you recognize the familiar sensation of healing energy running through your body. You belong here; you are one with this land. When you open your eyes again, you feel refreshed and stronger than before.	+3% Energy +3 HP
Look around	There's nothing that catches your attention, but you have a strong feeling that you should seek out the sensation. Enthusiasm flows through you as you follow the inner voice that urges you forward. As you sniff at every pebble, you eventually stumble upon something. Following the sensation was worth your time!	+2 ME AND 2: +1 Random 8-Use Carcass +1 Random Herb +1 Random Skull

The creature in front of you appears to be just a giant spider. As you look closer, you realize its head resembles a human skull, emitting a constant, unsettling hissing sound. What a nightmare! There is no way to go forward without catching its attention.
Attack	You decide to kill the creepy thing. If you had fire, you'd kill it with fire, but teeth and claws will have to do! One good chomp at the web and few strong poundings and the disgusting creature is dead. It twitches grossly as it dies and you look away. You notice something on the ground, having fallen from the destroyed web. How did it get there?	+2 ME +1 Random 4-Use Carcass
	You shiver, and the hair on your neck stands stiff when you crunch down on the spider in order to kill it. It fights back, wiggling so much it bites you on the muzzle! Disgusted and scared you let it go with dismay. It looks like something fell off of the trembling web, at least.	+2 ME -3 HP
	You swallow your disgust and approach the spider to kill it swiftly with one good chomp of your jaws, but it's much quicker than you. You feel a painful sting on your nose and the world swirls around you for a bit. The bastard poisoned you!	Illness: Infection
		(not recorded)

You notice something oddly-shaped attached to an overhang of a rather tall eroded cliff. What the heck is it? It's not a natural object, somebody definitely made this.
Grab	You grab the object by the string and it falls on your head! A gentle vertigo makes you dizzy for few seconds, but you are happy with the object being in your possession now!	+1 ME +2% Energy
	You very gently grab the object by the tip and it lands on your tongue before you spit it out. The taste reminds you of a smoky meat and clears your nose a bit.	+1 ME +2 HP
	You grab the object gently and it falls in front of your paws. It's really small and easy to carry!	+1 ME
	You grab the object excitedly. It drags something from the edge it was attached to and it bonks you on the head! Ouch! You now have two items, though!	+2 ME -4 HP

The familiar silhouette of a bear appears in front of you. It's Herb with his cubs, enjoying a special night together. While he looks a bit tired, his cubs are more than eager to trick or treat with you, trying to appear scary with their costumes. However, no matter what they do, they are just incredibly cute.
Trick	You don't have anything to offer but you still want to play with the cubs, so you pretend to be deathly afraid of them. The cubs waste no time, and their 'trick' turns out to be quite simple. They pounce on you, knocking you down and nipping at you playfully. In that moment, you begin to understand the weariness in their father's tired eyes.	+1 ME
Treat*	You approach the cubs with a convincingly scared expression, engaged in their game. You offer them a delicious treat of a(n) [Critter Carcass] from your hoard, smiling as they almost dance with joy.	+2 ME
Notes
* This option only appears if you have food in your hoard. Option takes one food item from your hoard, with the lowest uses and soonest-to-rotting time.

A big tree appears to be hunched over your path. It looks a bit knotted and hollow inside, as if somebody twisted strings and strands in place of the trunk.
Dig around it	You decide the openings are too small to shove your head into and dig around the roots to find anything that could be hidden. After just few minutes of digging, you actually find something!	+1 ME +1 Random Amusement Item
	Fearing your head would be stuck in the holes, you try your luck with the soft ground around the roots instead. A short while of digging doesn't uncover much, but you are able to take something home at least!	+1 ME
Check inside	You gently shove your head into the openings, but without too much pressure, so you avoid getting stuck. It takes some time and effort, but finally, you find one that allows you to get your nose in far enough and sniff around. Jackpot!	+2 ME -1% Energy

You yelp, surprised by glowing eyes in the openings of a tall effigy. It looks alive and rustles a bit. Since when did the stick-forms move?
Poke	You approach the odd construct and lean closer and closer with your nose to take a small whiff... until it moves! You freeze and look up, seeing the red, blinking eyes inside. Suddenly, the entire thing falls on you, covering you in straw and sticks! It's eating you alive! Or... maybe it just fell apart. Oops.	+1 ME +2% Energy
Grab a Piece	You crouch low to the ground and open your mouth, freezing every time the construct rustles. Finally, you wait until it's quiet and grab a massive piece sticking out! You jerk back, hoping for a jackpot and the entire construct falls apart! You stand there, with a piece in your mouth and a ruined mouse nest in front of you. That explains the eyes.	+3 ME
	You crawl as slowly as possible towards it, watching as the construct rustles loudly every time you get close. You grab a piece and jerk it out, making the massive effigy creak and lean over you menacingly! You run away with a big piece in your mouth!	+2 ME
	You gently approach the construct, but it rustles and moves violently when you get too close! It looks scary, as if it could grab you... So you grab it first! You pull out a small piece and run for your life!	+1 ME

You can't believe your eyes at first. What appears to be a large black stallion turns out to be some sort of nightmarish monster. Its ribcage is grotesquely exposed, glowing with a molten, lava-like substance that oozes from its open sides. Not exactly as appetizing as you had hoped.
Growl	You don't want the creature to get any closer to you. You bare your teeth, rooting yourself in place and growling in warning. However, instead of intimidating the creature, it seems more infuriated than before! With a strange, head-piercing shriek, it rushes at you, intent on killing you. You are lucky to be fast enough, and manage to escape.	+3 ME -1 HP
Follow	You manage to hide before the creature notices you. Are there more horses like this? Or is it the only one wandering around? You try to follow the creature, but its path appears random, as if it's wandering without a purpose. After following it for a while, you notice that it never stops to forage or drink like a normal horse. It only seems intent on following its random path. You duck around a bush, and when you look back, the stallion has disappeared into thin air. Had it even been real?	+1 ME +1 Random Amusement Item

You stumble upon a desolate field, with only the wind howling between the destroyed remains of crops. A dark, tall shadow is guarding this forgotten place. You recognize the figure as a scarecrow, but this one is different. A skeletal silhouette with a pumpkin for a head appears to follow your every step, and the grotesque grin on its face feels sentient. Did it just move?
Knock the pumpkin down	Attack is the best defense; it has always worked for you, and it should work this time. You don't want to wait until this thing moves on its own again. You jump at the skeletal silhouette with a snarl, knocking the entire scarecrow down. As soon as the pumpkin rolls away, the strange force keeping the creature alive disappears. You destroy the pumpkin even more, just to make sure it's smashed into pieces.	+2 ME +1 Random Herb
	After you step sideways a few times to confirm it, there is no doubt that the scarecrow can move on its own. Your pelt prickles ominously. The pumpkin appears to be the main source of its life force so with a short bark, you jump at the creature, aiming for the head. To your surprise, it doesn't fall off, and the grin on its surface slowly changes into an expression that makes your stomach churn. You're lucky that the scarecrow is quite slow, and you can easily escape before its bony arm reaches you.	+1 ME

Without warning, a strange red mist envelopes you and you have no chance to observe where it came from. Your breathing isn't affected, but the air feels oddly sticky in your lungs.
Take a Deep Breath	You try to calm down, blaming the stickiness of the air on anxiety. You sit down and breathe slowly, counting before you exhale. You feel a bit better now!	+2 ME +3% Energy
	You start to panic a bit, gasping for air. Nothing seems to calm you down and you run towards an opening, not stopping until you feel better. You find something on the ground under your paws.	-3% Energy +1 Random Herb
		-3% Energy +1 Random Skull
Hold your breath and escape	You decide to hold your breath and avoid inhaling any of the mist in case it's toxic. It has a mind of its own as it swirls around you. There's no way it's harmless! You run for a bit before you can't hold your breath anymore, and stumble upon a place full of interesting sticks and strings as you catch your breath.	+2 ME

The familiar sound of rain is usually soothing, but the bloody red drops that fall from the sky set you on edge. Though you know it's water from the smell, the crimson hue of red puddles forming on the ground is unsettling.
Feel it on your fur	You wag your tail, looking up. Rain is always good fun! You stretch a bit and stomp around in puddles, enjoying a fun moment before you have to head back. The deep, dark colour of the puddles sticks to your paw pads, but strangely they feel much healthier and sturdier than before!	+2 ME +3 HP
	It's raining! You like the refreshing feeling. It's not like the colour of the rain is anything to worry about. It smells fine! Although, you notice after a bit that the odd ooze from the rain makes you a little queasy.	+2 ME -2 HP
Hide	You're not really a fan of rain, especially rain that looks like this. You decide to hide under a rocky formation to stay out of it. Tucked in for short time, you find something shiny in your hiding spot.	+1 ME +2 SC

Two empty eye sockets of an abnormally large human skull peer at you maliciously. As you move closer, you realize that it's just an odd-shaped rock. It doesn't make the rock any less creepy; the resemblance is just too close.
Check it out	The stone skull is scary enough that a lesser animal would run in fear. You're no pushover, though. When a brave wolf like you appears, nothing stays hidden for long! You sniff around the stone, checking both dark eye sockets carefully. You knew it! There is something hidden in one of them!	+2 ME +1 Random 4-Use Carcass +1 Random Herb
		+2 ME +1 Random Skull
	Gathering your courage, you start to sniff around the rock in hopes of finding something interesting. When you shove your nose inside the eye socket of the stone skull, you feel something at the other end.	+2 ME +5 SC

You stop in your tracks, startled by seeing a face when there shouldn't be one here at all. After taking another look, it appears to just be an odd, bulbous growth on a tree, creating the illusion of a face.
Climb	You crawl on the sloped tree trunk until it's too wobbly to hold you. You spot an impaled critter on top of it and manage to grab it before you jump down!	+1 ME +1 Random 4-Use Carcass +1 Random Amusement Item
	You take it easy and climb only on the sloped areas that seem firm enough to clutch your claws against. You get maybe midway before you feel like it'd be too hard to get down and grab some tangled objects from between the branches.	+2 ME
	You are big, but agile, and you have long, strong claws which help you climb the tree. You want to see if there's anything interesting between the head-shaped bulbs, but you fall down as soon as you grab something tiny.	+1 ME -2 HP
Cover Them	You decide it'd be better if nobody saw these twisted faces, including you on your way back. You grab some local foliage and pile it against the trunk.	+1 ME +1 Random Herb +1 Large Leaf

An intricate construction is impaled on a rock in a sturdy way. It's not that big--perhaps you could even detach it? Or decorate it more?
Add a piece*	You decide to add the coolest, most twisted piece of wood from your collection and attach it at the base. Now the effigy looks even cooler! When you step back, you notice something on the ground, as if your offering has been accepted and you have been rewarded. But that's absurd, right?	+3 ME
Steal it	You decide to steal the effigy. It's just too pretty! It crumbles into pieces but you walk away with the coolest bits!	+2 ME
	You gently grab a piece in your front teeth and... something stings your palate! Looks like the construct has some pieces that are dangerous for wolves like you... you take what fell off and leave the rest untouched.	+1 ME -4 HP
Notes
* This option only appears if you have a large branch in your hoard.

Two wolf silhouettes in front of you are familiar even with the costumes. As you approach, you recognize Tala and Egg, enjoying a special night together. Egg’s sides are adorned with fake spider legs, looking realistic enough to send a chill down your spine. Tala is dressed as a ghost, but it's more cute than scary, making you smile.
Trick	With a snicker, you jump at them from behind, apologizing for not having any treats for the spooky monsters. Tala laughs in delight and draws nearer, playfully whispering a silent 'boo' right into your ear! In that same instant, a sudden pinch of pain shoots through your ankle. You turn to Egg, eyes wide with surprise, but she simply shrugs it off, casually explaining that you should have expected a spider to bite.	+2 ME -1 HP
Treat	You surprise the pair by being prepared for this scenario, and give them both treats. Egg looks disappointed. She's clearly far more into tricking others than treating them, as is evidenced by her significantly smaller bag of treats. On the other hand, Tala graciously thanks you with a warm smile, promising to spare you when the haunting hour arrives.	+1 ME +1 Random Herb
Join	When you propose the idea of going together, Tala's eyes light up and she wags her tail with excitement. On the other hand, you can practically hear Egg rolling her eyes in response. She eventually agrees, noting that at least you don't need a costume and their chances for treats could rise significantly. Tala gives her a side-eye, but it doesn't change her attitude at all. This spider costume is fitting, it seems.	+1 ME +1 Random Amusement Item

You did not expect to find something so unusual on this well-tread path. A twisted, dead tree is curving in an unnatural way, filling you with unease.
Check inside	You peek inside the tree, checking out both the carved inner tunnel as well as the exposed base. There's a few interesting objects, but nothing too special.	+1 ME +3 SC
Mark scent	You decide it's a great place to leave a scent mark. Once you do your deed, however, the tree starts creaking loudly and swaying as if it's ready to fall on you! You dart away, watching the tree squirm until it curves again in another direction. Holy cow! What an adrenaline rush.	+1 ME +1% Energy
Find buried stash	There's no way there's not at least one cool thing buried here! After a long while of tiresome digging, you find a useful object, indeed!	+1 ME -2% Energy +1 Healing Salve

A shadowy figure looms up ahead, and as it moves closer you can see it's a human riding a horse! Yet then you realize...it has no head. You get an odd feeling in your stomach. The rider is holding a large pumpkin with glowing eyes, and you wonder if that's how it sees the world.
Bark	You are about to chase the mysterious rider, but change your mind at the last moment. To avoid looking like a coward, you bark loudly as the horse passes you by. The rider seems unfazed, but the horse neighs and changes direction slightly. You notice something fall out of the rider's coat.	+2 ME
Chase	You run after the horse to take a closer look and to judge for yourself if this being is potentially dangerous to your pack. The horse is faster than any other animal you've ever chased. When you start getting closer, the eyes of the pumpkin in the rider's hand glow stronger, and you feel a strange sensation run down your spine. It's a weird mix of tiredness and tingling that eventually forces you to stop. Your body aches as if you're injured, and it will definitely take time to heal.	+10% energy −15 HP

Select a variant from the list below Cold Warm
You can't seem to wrap your head around this hybrid of a wolf and a fish. How does it exist and adapt to both surface and aquatic environments? The creature seems to be thriving, looking at you without any fear.
Chase away	The longer you stare at this fish-wolf, the more unnatural and unsettling it seems. A growl rises in your throat and you bare your teeth. The creature is well aware that it doesn't stand a chance against you while on land. It quickly escapes into the water, but its angry stare makes it clear that if you happen to fall into the cold waves of its domain, it might end badly for you.	+1 ME +1 Oar +1 Crab Leg
Approach with curiosity	While the unnatural and unsettling vibe around this creature is strong, it's not enough to deter your curiosity. Step by step, you approach the merwolf with your gaze fixed on its eyes. When you're close enough to feel its fish-like breath, it mistakes your slow movements for hostility and quickly dives back into the sea before you can convince it to stay. With a sigh of disappointment, you notice that the fishy scent hasn't disappeared, and it's even stronger under the thin layer of snow close to you.	+1 ME +3 Dead Fish
Play	Your playful nature wins over any cautious approach. The front part of this being is a wolf, right? If so, it can still do most wolf-like things, regardless of what the rest of its body looks like. Wagging your tail, you approach the creature, which seems as open and curious as you. Rolling around in the snow and sniffing each other is a great substitute for running or jumping. You feel energized and happy. After some time, the merwolf decides to dive back into the sea, but leaves you a small gift.	+1 ME +5% energy +1 Medicine: Healing Salve +5 HP

From afar, this creature reminds you of an unusually large wolf, but as you look at it more closely, you notice its strange proportions. Its weirdly shaped front paws resemble human hands, and the hind legs are unusually long. It has to be a hybrid of some sort, and the torn clothing on its rump is a sign that whatever happened, happened rapidly. It's best to be cautious.
Hunt together	This is probably a once in a life time opportunity to hunt alongside such a creature. It seems wolfish enough to understand you, yet different enough for you to learn from its methods. You join forces and patrol the area together, understanding each other with surprising ease. The creature seems stronger and more flexible than you, but at the same time, it's less graceful and louder. You seem to work well as a team. You find yourself wishing it could join your pack as an honorary member. No wolf would dare to mark your territory with this creature by your side.	+1 ME
Approach	While some wolves would call you a fool for attempting to get closer to such a weird hybrid, you just can't wrap your head around these mixed scents and decide to get closer. The werewolf doesn't seem hostile towards you, sniffing you as an ordinary wolf would. This encourages you to spend some time with it and you learn that its human-like hands are extremely useful for using tools and stroking your fur. After some time, you decide to part ways, but you start to doubt yourself. Could the state of being a werewolf be contagious if you're already a wolf? Could you become... werehuman? Gross!	+1 ME
Notes
* Only appears during the full moon

This majestic white wolf has an aura of both danger and mystery. Its white cloak adorned with bones clinks ominously. Contact with the witches is a risk, but you'll never know what you could gain if you don't try.
Greet with respect	There is nothing worse than disrespecting a witch. You might end up turning into a frog or getting a nasty rash. You bow your head slightly, wishing the witch all the best in achieving her goals. She smiles slightly, pleased with your attitude. She suddenly appears warm and cheerful, but you are well aware that it might be an effect of her magic. You are gifted with a small snack and a warm goodbye as if you have been friends for years, but it's best not to be fooled by that.	+1 ME +1 Squirrel Carcass
Greet casually	At first, you want to approach the witch, but you are suddenly overcome with fear and want to escape. Unfortunately, she notices you, and it's too late to pretend you haven't seen her. Frazzled, you greet her casually, but you know even before you finish the sentence that this is not the way to behave around witches. She gives you a condescending look and snorts, moving along as if you aren't worth her attention. You feel a sudden wave of tiredness. Of all the punishments you could receive, this isn't the worst.	+2 ME −5% energy

You see a witch wolf following a raven. After watching them for a few moments, you realize that the bird serves as her eyes, guiding her wherever she needs to go. For some reason, you feel uneasy. Legends about blind ones being able to sense the spirit world much better hover in the back of your mind.
Follow	Knowing well that any place a witch wants to visit must be special, you decide to follow her, trying to stay far enough behind not to alarm the raven. However, you underestimate how well the witch can hear your steps behind her, and how much the magic aids them both. She stops mid-step with a growl, cursing you and demanding that you leave her alone. A strange force holds you in place until the witch disappears from sight. As soon as you are able to move again, you start to feel unwell.	+4 ME Illness: Cough
		Already sick: 4 ME
		If immune: 4 ME
Approach	You run after the witch without trying to hide your presence. This is a rare opportunity to ask for advice or something else that could improve your life. You are well aware that contact with a witch comes with some risks, but you don't have any malicious intent, right? However, the raven alerts the witch before you can interrupt her. She turns her blind gaze towards you and tells you sternly not to disturb her, as she has no time for you right now. She is not hostile, however, and gives you a small gift imbued with her scent to help you locate her in the future. Despite receiving a gift, you feel a dull pain in your body, as if you have been injured. You take this as a warning not to interfere with anything supernatural without preparation.	+1 ME +1% energy −2 HP

A witch wolf in a dark cloak stares at you from beneath her hood. You cannot clearly read her expression, but she appears to be waiting for you. The sudden urge to get closer is irresistible. You know you're risking a lot; the witches don't give anything for free.
Ask for magical help	Tempted by all the stories you have heard about the effects of magic, you approach her with a wishlist in your mind. You ask for something that will help you become a well-respected leader. You want to be strong and unbeatable. You have some more ideas, but the witch stops you mid-sentence. Your casual manner likely came across as rude, as she growls at you before answering. You are punished for your arrogance with a sharp pain in your body, but the witch leaves you with something else, too.	+4 ME −10 HP
Greet	You approach the witch, looking down respectfully as you greet her. You're curious about her, but you're too scared to cross any boundaries she might have. She notices your attitude and smiles slightly, encouraging you to ask your questions. You have learned that, on top of their knowledge about the supernatural world, almost all witches are also skilled herbalists and scouts, so you decide to ask her for advice. Pleased with your genuine curiosity, the witch leaves you some small but useful gifts, and you are no longer afraid.	+1 ME +1 random herb +1 random carcass

Encounters in Multiple Biomes

Encounters in Multiple Biomes

The smell of this pumpkin field is so intense and intriguing that you ignore the spooky atmosphere it creates. Most of the pumpkins are in various stages of decay and their mixed scents are driving you crazy.
Roll	Maybe you're weird, but if it's fun who cares? You embrace your inner puppy, jumping into the pumpkins and rolling among them for so long that your fur catches all of the different smells, not to mention the messy appearance. You regret nothing!	+1 ME
Dig	You're sure there must be something interesting in such an extraordinary place. Your nose doesn't help much with the intense smell of the pumpkins, but searching is more fun than anything. When you aren't so focused on finding something, you actually stumble upon a treasure! Funny how that works.	+3 ME
Eat	You have no idea why you expected anything other than the taste of a rotten, moldy plant. It's absolutely repulsing, but a strange feeling runs down your spine seconds after swallowing a bite. You expect to feel sick, but to your surprise the rotten taste disappears and you feel...refreshed!	+4 HP

Found in: Grasslands, Prairie

You're used to dark forests and all kinds of noises that they bring, but this place feels different and eerie. You feel observed not by one, but many sets of eyes, that follow your every movement. Shadowy silhouettes dance in the corners of your eyes but when you try to look at them, they vanish and reappear to haunt you from a different spot.
Bark	You bare your teeth at first and when that doesn't work, you let out a sharp bark. Your voice is carried by the wind and echoes among the trees as if you are alone here. To your surprise, you don't feel observed anymore, and the forest feels more familiar... for now.	+2 ME
Chase	You try to remain calm, but each time a shadowy shape appears somewhere nearby, your steely demeanor crumbles. Finally you've had enough, and with a low growl, you start to chase the shadows whenever you notice one. It's impossible to catch them, and they are definitely playing a game, luring you deeper into the forest. Too late, you realize you are tired and hungry when you manage to escape.	+3 ME -5% Energy -5% Hunger
Found in: Taiga, Coniferous Forest

A mesmerizing, emerald glow beckons from a distance, capturing your attention. When you move closer, you see strange orbs floating above the surface of a shallow lake. You watch as the green flames dance in the air soundlessly. After a while, you notice that everything is abnormally silent, as if this area is a bubble of an alternate dimension.
Go into the water	Fascinated by this magical scenery, you take a step further...and further. You realize that you are quite far away when the water suddenly covers your back. What happened? You can't remember anything between noticing the flames and regaining the clarity of your mind. It's best to get back to dry ground.	+1 ME
Investigate	You are as careful as possible, sniffing around and avoiding looking into the strange lights. The flaming orbs don't seem to be warm, and the source of this unreal phenomenon is unknown. However this came to be, it's best to get on your way quickly. As you pad away, you find something useful.	+2 ME +1 Random Herb
Found in: Swamp, Riparian Woodland

The cold, gaping maw of this cave isn't as dark as you expect it to be. A green, unsettling glow can be seen on the rocks inside. Drawing nearer, you notice ethereal, half-transparent silhouettes drifting soundlessly above your head, seemingly oblivious to your presence. At least for now.
Try to communicate with them	You aren't sure if these ghosts are spirits of the dead or the damned ones. As soon as you start to speak, all of them turn to you, as if they have only just noticed you. They don't talk back, approaching silently with their arms outstretched in your direction. They can't harm or even touch you physically, but the longer you stand there, the weaker you feel. You should probably go before they drain all of your energy.	+3 ME +3% Energy
	As soon as you utter a word, all of the spirits turn toward you, their attention captured by you. You feel an uncomfortable tension but decide to endure it and wait patiently. One of the spirits draws near, whispering something into your ear. Its language seems ancient, or perhaps its speech is distorted beyond comprehension. Even though you can't grasp the message, you can feel it. You are afraid of being cursed or even worse, but you feel better and more energized instead. How strange.	+1 ME +4 HP
Found in: Mountains, Glacier

You stumble upon a nest full of eggs and nobody is watching! It would be a waste to just leave them.
Eat	You decide to take advantage of this rarey opportunity and consume some of the eggs. It's not like the owl would be able to feed all the chicks to adulthood, right? You eat one on the spot and steal another for later. When you go to bury the evidence of your scavenging, you find something neat!	+2 ME +5% Hunger
	These eggs look so tempting! You approach the nest and sniff around, trying to see if maybe you can manage to snatch one before you're discovered. Suddenly, you feel talons swipe at your head painfully! Again and again they strike, and you close your eyes to avoid the sharp weapons. With a yelp you grab wildly at the nest before you run away. Darn, it's not an egg! Oh well, it's worth keeping!	+2 ME -4 HP
Wait for the mother	You scout the area and watch the nest from a good hiding spot. Why eat meager eggs when you can have meat if you're patient enough?	+2 ME +1 Large Bird Meat
	You try be patient and wait for the owl to come back to the nest, but you fumble and lose the element of surprise in your excitement once it lands. You attack too fast and the owl flies away safely, leaving only feathers in your mouth. You growl and steal a giant stick from the nest, which turns out to actually be something else entirely!	+1 ME +1 Snowy Owl Feathers
	N/A	Automatic battle encounter with Affected Snowy Owl

Biome-Exclusive Encounters

Biome-Exclusive Encounters

You come across a weird contruction towering over you, loosely resembles a human shape. Had humans made it? Whatever the case, it feels sinister
Destroy the effigy	Destroying the effigy is a piece of cake. The construction is made of sticks which is no challenge to a tough wolf like you! It takes a while, but the effigy finally collapses to the ground. While you inspect the rubble, you feel a strange tension gathering around you. Like dark clouds before the storm, something is definitely pissed off, and you have a feeling that you should run away.	+1 ME +1 Large Branch
Leave an offering	Whoever or whatever is able to raise such a thing is powerful enough to pose a threat. You don't think that messing with the supernatural is a good idea. You quickly gather some herbs and bones, placing them in front of the construction. Is it good enough? Does the intention matter? You don't feel anything at first, but then, a strange sensation crawls under your skin. Somehow you know your gift has been accepted.	+1 ME +5% Energy
Found in: Deciduous Forest

No matter how hard you try to see inside, the long, empty corridor is shrouded with deep shadows and reveals nothing. A faint echo, resembling a deep, low growl, reaches your ears, but the source of the sound is a mystery. Is it just your imagination?
Investigate	You gather your courage and take a step inside. After all, you're a wolf; it's you who should be feared! You have to rely on your nose more than your sight here. The strange noises are a bit clearer now, but you still cannot tell what it is or what it wants. Only one thing is certain: it's close, maybe a little too close. Your gut feeling tells you to run away, and you jump forward the same instant something bites your leg! The presence behind you doesn't feel natural, but the last thing you want to do now is to check it out. You need to get out of here!	+3 ME -3 HP
Found in: Desert

A huge, blue flame is painting the sky and the surrounding area with cold tones, contrasting with the flaming red of the setting sun. The scenery is both beautiful and unsettling, leaving you with conflicting feelings
Watch the flames	There is something peaceful in this monumental view. Blue flames lick the sky without making any sound. Small embers that resemble stars fly into the darkening sky, looking otherworldly. You lose track of time completely, but you feel rested and refreshed.	+1 ME +3 HP

Found in: Tundra

This area is usually full of strange and beautiful plants. There is no way to remember them all, and there's always something new to discover. However, you're quite sure that you've never seen anything quite like this. The growths inside this flower resemble teeth. How is that possible?
Sniff	Curiosity wins over tentativeness and you shove your nose to smell the flower. You just have to learn about this new species! Does it eat insects? Maybe mice? The smell makes your head spin, but you feel refreshed. You wag your tail and check out some stuff around the roots before you leave.	+2 ME +5% Energy
	You lean towards the plant, trying to take a whiff. It smells normal, but... OUCH! The teeth move and snap at your nose! You whine and step back nervously, swiping at your throbbing snout. You've heard about carnivorous plants, but as far as you know they only eat insects, and you're no puny bug! Hurt and upset, you sniff around the flower, trying to find something useful before you leave.	+1 ME -2 HP
Destroy	You're pretty sure this is nightmare fuel and not a proper flower. You dig around the plant and manage to uproot it, stomping and clawing it repetitively. One less creepy thing to worry about! You check out the root hole curiously and it seems the roots have unearthed something! Sweet!	+2 ME +1 Random Critter Carcass
Found in: Rainforest

A strange glow shines through the leaves, visibly different from the morning sun's rays dancing among the trees. As you approach, you see a huge, green flame that looks otherworldly and a bit unsettling. What is it doing here?
Stare in awe	You simply cannot stop staring at this magical sight. You lose track of time completely, focusing your gaze on the flames and the small, green embers resembling fireflies. A feeling of bliss envelops you, making you feel at peace. When you gather your thoughts again, you feel rested.	+1 ME +5% Energy
Go closer	The urge to go closer is stronger than your common sense, almost as if the fire is calling to you. Is it even real? You expect it to be warm, but it strangely feels colder than when you were farther away. What will happen if you touch it? It probably isn't wise, but you decide to touch it with the tip of your paw. A sudden, freezing feeling pierces through your entire body, leaving you shocked and confused. It's not pleasant, but at least it isn't worse!	+1 ME -3 HP
