What started as a few concerned Pets has turned into the hottest news in the Halipar Jungles--locals of the Talytil Lakes have reported a massive spike in debris and muck in their waters, causing the usually pristine lakes to become polluted. Worse still, it is threatening to seep into the nearby forests and oceans.



While details are still vague, a number of tourists and locals alike have reported seeing unusual Companion activity along the lakeshores, leading experts to believe the two may be linked. "Companions aren't really known for causing enviromental damage," says Jacobi, who owns and operates Terrafrost's premier Companion Reserve. "Even when they find themselves outside of their usual habitat. Which is ideal, of course, but it does make situations like this more difficult to address."



While investigation into the pollution continues, Terrafrostians are advised to keep their eyes peeled for any unusual activity in and around the Talytil Lakes. Lugrae should also avoid swimming in them until further notice.

Sometimes, Jacobi goes on grand adventures. Sometimes, there's a weird light one night and he goes to investigate... and finds the twirling and whirling Stardance, funded by @Mewtwo for @Irissa, on behalf of @Hope (who also designed it)!

Discovered alongside it is the grand Mountain Dragon, funded by @petshopgirl for @POURRITURE! While he's not entirely sure what's going on, both Companions are now available for adoption over at Jacobi's Companion Reserve for a small fee.



What good is a pencil without some paper? Give your Pet all the doodling space they could ever want with the brand new Whimsical Notebook, Classic Notebook, and Colourful Notebook. (They could also use them to take notes, but where's the fun in that?)

All three can be found over at Ralph's Page Turners, and may be rewarded by the Weapons Quest. A week from now the Book Quest will be begin asking for them.




We're starting to think Samuel hasn't slept for a week... but he sure has a lot to show for it! Introducing the Popper, Lugra Squishy, Sequin Pillow, Fidget Spinner, and Sensory Book, your household will now know peace... or chaos. Choose wisely.

All five sensory toys are now stocking at the Toy Trunk, and may be rewarded by the Plushie Quest. A week from now the Space Quest will begin asking for them.



Claire has also been busy designing the colourful and durable Chew Necklace, which pairs perfectly with Kolzak's new Sensory Ice Cube.

The Chew Necklace is now stocking at Grooming Parlour, and is not associated with any quests. Meanwhile, the Sensory Ice Cube is now stocking at the Frozen Collectives Emporium. It may also be rewarded by the Space Quest, and a week from now the Snowman Quest will begin asking for it.



The soft and lovable Patches has just finished up the soft and lovable Fairy Queen Plush and Light Fairy Plush--the perfect duo for Pets afraid of things that go bump in the night.

Both Plushies are now stocking at the Plushie Palace. They may be given out as rewards from the Book Quest, and a week from now the Plushie Quest will begin requesting them.



We're not done yet! "Stamps are but wings for mail!" Yogi says, and he is excited to debut both the Light Fairy Stamp and Commemorative Royal Fairy Stamp. Both are now stocking at the United Terrafrost Post Office, and are not associated with any quests.

All of these new fairy Plushies and Stamps were funded by @Mewtwo for @Irissa, on behalf of @Hope. Thank you all for this assortment of fairy magic!



Samuel has officially not slept in a week. A new line of figurines have hit the shelves, all funded by @Mewtwo! Stop by today to grab your very own Fire Fairy Figurine (funded for @petshopgirl), Wind Fairy Figurine (funded for @Heaven), Metal Fairy Figurine (funded for @Voermina), and Fairy Queen Figurine (funded for @Irissa, on behalf of @Hope)!

All figurines are now stocking at the Toy Trunk, and may be rewarded by the Plushie Quest. A week from now the Space Quest will begin asking for them.



For those less keen on doodling in their books, Love of Tomorrow (funded by @Mewtwo, for @Cibola) and All The Places You'll Never Go! (funded by @petshopgirl, for @POURRITURE) have just hit the shelves! Maybe the true prize all along was friendship...

Both are now stocking at Ralph's Page Turners or rewarded by the Weapons Quest, and a week from now the Book Quest will be begin asking for them.



Last--but most certainly not least!--we have everything you'd ever need to go to space! A fantastic light and alien-whapper? The endearing Tummy Rumbler has you covered! Cold in space? Hot Water Bottle! It's squishy, it's hot, it's got water in it (when filled with water)!

Still cold for some reason? Not anymore with the wool knit TASA Sweater--and you get to proudly represent the Terrafrostian Astronomy and Space Association (which is 100% a Very Real Thing, please do not check).

All of these stellar items were funded by @petshopgirl for @POURRITURE--thank you for helping your fellow Terrafrostians reach the endlessness of the void beyond!

The shopkeepers of the Battle Shop, Toy Trunk, and Grooming Parlour respectively do not advise going to space with these exciting new items. They also wish to note that the Tummy Rumbler may be rewarded by the Space Quest, and a week from now the Weapons Quest will begin requesting it. Meanwhile, the Hot Water Bottle may be rewarded by the Plushie Quest, and a week from now the Space Quest will begin requesting it. The TASA Sweater is not associated with any quests.

Yogi over at the United Terrafrost Post Office has been quite busy this month, and is ready to begin printing the revamped Storm Ori Stamp, Glimmering Gemstones Stamp, and Misty Isles Stamp.



He is also delighted to introduce the brand new Wonton Soup Stamp, funded by @Cibola! It smells, but does not taste, as good as it looks. You can print a copy of your very own over at the United Terrafrost Post Office.



They said it couldn't be done, but Alyson over at Sugar Rush has managed to improve a few of her recipes! The revamped Cottoncandy Candy Cupcake, Traptur Claw Jello, and Chili Chocolate Cupcake are now twice as tasty, and twice as fun for your Pet to throw at their sibling! (We're not quite sure how that works, but tests into this around Alyson are not advised.)



Have you ever wanted to write about how much you love soup? Yes? No? Either way, you can now write, scribble, and doodle to your heart's content with the new Pencil!

You can also admire the new Soup Lovers Figurine, funded by @Cibola, while doing so! Both are now stocking in the Toy Trunk, and in one week the Space Quest will begin requesting them.



What's the best way to beat the heat without cutting your hair short? Scrunchies, of course! The ever fashion-forward Claire has designed the delightful Mosaic Scrunchie, Zabeu Scrunchie, and Fun Floor Pattern Scrunchie, and insists they are for everyone. Use them as a bracelet! Use them to keep your beach towel rolled up! The possibilities are endless!

You can grab a Scrunchie (or ten) at the Grooming Parlour, and they are not associated with any quests.



For those of you who have been hungrily eyeing the new Soup Lovers Figurine, Hazel is here to save the day with some freshly cooked Wonton Soup! Funded by @Cibola, it is now stocking in the Affogato, and in one week the Space Quest will begin requesting it.

You can also choose to freeze your soup over at the Ice Box in order to obtain some Frozen Wonton Soup. Funded by @Cibola, it's perfect for collectors--and Pet enrichment!--and in one week the Snowman Quest will be requesting it.



Last, but certainly not least, are the brand new Chop Sticks, also funded by @Cibola (we greatly appreciate your soup-er additions)! They are now stocking in the Battle Shop, and in one week the Weapons Quest will begin requesting them.



Due to an increasing workload, we are temporarily closing User Requests. This is to ensure requests that are already submitted (they will still be fulfilled!) receive the attention they deserve while we work on other aspects of the site.

We love seeing your ideas come to life as much as you do, and thank you all for your patience and understanding!

This Pet loves the planet we call home and goes out of its way to keep things clean. Be sure to follow in its footsteps, because if you litter in front of this Sharshel, you'll get a stern talking-to! This Sharshel was funded by @bibliopossum!



If you'd like to bring this legendary Sharshel home, you'll need to use a Mythical Snow Jar on an already-existing Sharshel. You can always find these Snow Jars for sale at the I.C.E Shop for just 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts.)



What's that? Your Pets plastic silo has lost all its grain? Have fun cleaning that up... I mean, ensure the mystery is solved with the help of the finest of detectives, the Searcher Ducky!

All five Figurines were funded by @Mewtwo for @Irissa, who has dedicated them to @Hope. They will also be rewarded by the Plushie Quest, and a week from now the Space Quest will begin requesting them. Thank you all for making Terrafrost even brighter!
