8. A Friend Crab has appeared!

They thought they maybe heard a... a crab, clicking around on the ground? Though they scampered after the direction they thought it came from, they ended up tripping over their own hooves. And in the few moments it took them to regain their balance, it was gone into the tall grass, too small for them to find when it wasn't moving.

Oops... They'd say they wouldn't do that again, but really? It was only a matter of time before they did that again.

24. A Metal Furb has appeared!

As they tried to regain their footing and refind another trail, something unnaturally long and fluffy brushed up against their side from above. Like some massive beast's tail. Except it felt like it had little... Feet? All over it? What was this thing? Not good, right?

The beast startled them quite a bit, and they whimpered as they retreated back the way they came, off to find a less cursed patch of grass.

After giving passing greetings to his mother, who told him about the strange furb she'd encountered, Sea Sighed entered the area where the familiars were. After some bad luck at the shuppy races, he hoped that the shuppy he'd heard about here would be possible to locate.

You encounter the familiar of your choice!

While he was lost in thought, Sea Sighed nearly collided with the barking creature in front of him. "Oh!," he said. The shuppy he'd just been thinking about was sitting in front of him, tail wagging. Reaching into the pack around his neck, he pulled out one of the many small fish he'd captured to hopefully lure the brown and yellow creature.

The familiar is uncertain, and approaches slightly.

Sea Sighed tossed the small fish to the ground and pulled out another. Tossing it to land right beside the other, he hoped that two treats would entice the little creature to approach some more.

The familiar is uncertain, and watches closely.

Sea Sighed took a step away from the little fishes, hoping that giving the little thing some space to enjoy the treat would entice it to come closer for more.

The familiar watches you warily, and then runs away!

Sea Sighed called out as the shuppy decided to run into the tall grass instead of take the small fish treats he'd offered. Sighing, he picked the fish up and put them back in the bundle around his neck.

A Prism Owl has appeared!

As Sea Sighed made his way through a small wooded area, he saw a brightly colored owl in a hollowed out portion of a nearby tree. "I love your colors, but you are not what I'm seeking today. Rest well."

A Pokey Crab has appeared!

As he continued along, Sea Sighed saw a small crab trying to make its way over a large rock. Bending down, he nudged it to the top of the rock with his nose. "There you are, little one. Don't worry, I'm not here to take you or anything. Carry on."

A Nice Muskie-- I mean, an Ice Muskie-- has appeared!

A bright blue musk wolf crouched down by Sea Sighed, obviously hunting something in the tall grass. Not wanting to disturb it, he gave it, and whatever he might be stalking, a wide berth.

A Dream Crab has appeared!

Sea Sighed came across yet another crab during his meandering through the wooded area and towards the lake, He figured that areas including water would make it easier to find the shuppy again. Looking down at the little crab, it was obviously resting against a large tree root. Remembering the musk wolf he just passed, Sea Sighed covered the little creature up with a large leaf in hopes that it would conceal it from being a casualty to the wolf's hunger.

A Sport Furb has appeared!

Sea Sighed eyed the furb nestled in some thick grasses, munching on a flower. Thinking of Seafoam, probably snoozing in his mangrove back at The Cres, he passed the creature by. He didn't think that a regular furb would be much of a match for Seafoam.

A Deepsea Stag has appeared!

On one of the tufts of grass by the furb, he saw a brightly colored stag beetle. Sea Sighed narrowed his eyes at it and said, "I'd be careful. That furb will probably eat you if you stay there."

You encounter the familiar of your choice!

Sea Sighed caught a glance of the shuppy again beyond the tall grass, digging a hole in the sandy dirt by the lake. Slowly approaching, he went ahead and pulled out a small fish. "I'm not here to hurt you, little one," he said. Dropping the fish by the shuppy and stepping back, he hoped that he would be able to entice it this time.

The familiar is very displeased and immediately runs away!

The shuppy whips it's head up and when it sees Sea Sighed, yelps and runs away back into the tall grass. Sighing, he left the small fish on the dirt this time. Maybe it didn't like that kind? He didn't know. Turning back towards the grass, he continued on.
