New Wild Minimals Are On The Loose!

Exciting news, Adventurers! Mysterious new Minimals have been appearing across Santae. Luckily, we have our very own expert to help find them and learn their secrets. With Silvershade's help, you may even be able to tame and befriend them!

A Fiery Mystery At Flamefall Cascades

The first signs of new creatures came from the Flamefall Cascades. Vixon was no stranger to the smoke and fire common to this volcanic part of Aleriea -- but he had never seen sparks fly like this before.

It was easier to see them at night. Trails of embers traced across the darkened sky, outlining the shapes of flashy spiraling leaps and bounds. At first he thought it was just some strange new kind of volcanic activity -- but when he found a small claw-print in the ash outside of Ember Springs, Vixon knew it was time to call in Silvershade for help.

"Don't worry, Vixon -- that's a Cinderyx! It's no surprise you didn't see them at first. Those red-and-white stripes are pretty good camouflage with all the fire and ash around here. They're curious little fellas, so you might get one scrambling over your roof now and again. They're good jumpers, too! That's what you were noticing at night, I reckon. They go jumping and dancing over the plains, leaving a trail of sparks and embers behind them as they go. It's a beautiful sight!"

The Mysterious Wildlife Of The Shrouded Borderlands

The next report came from an unexpected source: Felix, in the Shrouded Borderlands. Something had been making the Grusims at the Kiss the Grusim game nervous recently. Felix was catching the occasional glimpse of the mystery, too. Sometimes, a pale greenish glow would float through the misty forest. Other times, it looked like a nimble, shadowy creature was sneaking through the underbrush. Felix called Silvershade to help discover the culprits.

"You can tell those poor Grusims, to relax, Felix. You've just got a couple of sneaky Minimals on your hands! That glow is surely the work of a Mistmantle or two. Their wings make that beautiful glowing mist as they fly, but they just use it to disguise themselves. It isn't dangerous or anything!

"And the sneaky critter your Grusims keep noticing in the underbrush is nothing but a Valestride. That's an exciting find! They're pretty rare! Their dark fur helps them blend right in, and they're as nimble as can be. Most of the time, all you'll see is a tip of that long tail whisking away as they vanish into the fog."
