Creeping Crabs, Supplementals
“Travelers beware, new springtime seasons bring forth new real estate wars. Higher predator activity is on the rise in the eastern lowland meadows as male flower dwelling creeping crabs return to their homeland in the towering buds of titan perennials. The warming days on Arthroterra also mark the beginning of foraging sport events featuring the newest generation of maturing males in preparation for courtship.
Busybody ambassadors best avoid the highlighted areas on your maps as traffic surge all around the Log-stem Meadows, unless you plan on being netted up yourself for the next impromptu game of scavenger hunt.”
