Oh no! Poachers have swept through the plains of Lioden, hell bent on slaying the wild beasts that roam there and bringing home bloody trophies to sell on the black market. But these are YOUR lands, and these are YOUR companions they dare to slay! Go forth young lions and fight off these evil humans wherever you can.

Event Information  

This event is highly focused on exploring and battling.
The explore encounters exclusive to this month can be found in all biomes.
Your lion's karma and level, as well as the biome you explore in, do not matter for this event.

In March, the community is working to unlock three tiers of one bar.
The more poachers are chased off or defeated in Explore, the faster the Black Market will unlock. Chasing off and defeating poachers will earn you Prevent Points, which are automatically counted towards the Black Market's unlock bar.

This month's currency is Rhino Beetles.
Rhino Beetles can be gained in Explore. You can also earn Rhino Beetles and Prevent Points (which help unlock the Black Market) by playing Poacher Chase.

The March event launches on March 1st at 12am Lioden time and will end on March 31st at 11:59pm Lioden time. All unused event currency will be stored on your account until the next year.


Disclaimer: This event contains sensitive images that may be triggering for players due to their graphic nature. Unfortunately, poaching is a real thing that happens to real animals in the world, and this event is meant to create awareness about the awful realities of poaching and what it does to the world we live in. You will find yourself facing off against poachers just as many animals do in reality. If any of these images disturb you, we recommend using our guide to block images, which will allow you to continue participating in the event without being subjected to certain images.

With each Anti-Poaching event, Lioden's owners donate proceeds to the International Anti-Poaching Foundation and Tusk. They also support the Kevin Richardson Foundation, International Rhino Foundation, and Panthera. If you're interested in these charities or would like to read more, we recommend checking out Lioden's Conservation Efforts page.


Poacher Chase  


Poacher Chase is an endless runner-type minigame that is exclusively available during March's event. It is able to be played as soon as the March event begins at 12am Lioden time on March 1st!

Within Poacher Chase, you play a male lion that is trying to escape the poachers that are harming animals within the environment around you. There are obstacles that you need to avoid, Rhino Beetles to collect, and as you earn points and progress through the game, the lion runs faster and faster!

You can submit your score once per day to earn up to a maximum of 40 Rhino Beetles per day—if you play Poacher Chase each day and hit the maximum score every time, that's roughly an additional 1,240 Rhino Beetles for you to spend! There is no maximum cap for Prevent Points earned, as the amount you earn is 10% of the number of obstacles you successfully clear. Score sending for Poacher Chase resets at midnight (12am) Lioden time, not at rollover (2:05am).

To find out more information on Poacher Chase, check out the Poacher Chase section of the Event Games page!

A baby elephant is rubbing its head against dead mother's body, clearly murdered by poachers.
Action Result Reward
Kill Being an opportunist, you jump at the calf and kill it. You can't drag much back home, so the small elephant is a handy victory. -3 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Elephant Calf Carcass
Nudge You approach the calf and try to nudge it, encouraging it to let go of the mom. You can smell the scattered elephant group in the distance, so you push the scared baby towards that direction. Out of respect (and hard skin), you do not touch the carcass; instead you grab at some gathering carrion critters. +3 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+12 Silver Beetles
+1 Rat Carcass
Wait Taking a decision to wait it out, you hide nearby until the baby wanders away towards a distant elephant noise, probably a scattered herd. Quietly, so the elephants won't punish you, you sneak to the carcass, trying to gather some food from the open parts of the body. +2 Rhino Beetles
+2 Medium Meat Chunk
A bucking African wild ass has just crossed your path! This rare donkey must have travelled far, searching for a true wilderness to call home.
Action Result Reward
Show the Way Having a wider variety of prey certainly wouldn't hurt your pride! You call out to the donkey, eager to show it some nice spots to check out. Perhaps it will move in with its herd and repopulate! +2 Karma
+2 Rhino Beetles
+2 Prevent Points
Pounce You wiggle your rump in the air and leap at the animal while its back is turned towards you! As you're both falling to the ground, you give its throat a long, powerful bite. Your day is made - donkey meat is delicious! -2 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Donkey Carcass
A creature is climbing a safou tree, shaking it a little. It seems that insects are feeding on the tree's rotting fruit. What a perfect spot for the tree pangolin!
Action Result Reward
Shake the Tree You stretch up and sharpen your claws on the bark. The tree shakes, disturbing the pangolin, who is now holding on tightly in fear of being eaten. Something small falls down onto the ground, and it's not a fruit! -2 Karma
+2 Rhino Beetles
+1 Pangolin Scale
Search the Ground You decide to scope the area, curious if there's anything here other than rotting fruit, flies, and ants. Bird droppings... hm. But, hey! You find some scales scattered below the tree trunk. +2 Pangolin Scales
Dig Around You sniff around the tree trunk and listen closely. There's something crunching below the surface, between the tree's roots. You wouldn't have guessed the source, if not for the line of ants crawling out of a small hole nearby. You dig furiously, uncovering a large ant nest! The pangolin gets excited about this rich dinner and gives you something in gratitude. +2 Karma
+2 Rhino Beetles
+1 Pangolin Scale
A distressed long-tailed pangolin is wiggling around among the branches. You notice it's entangled in a poaching net and is having trouble climbing properly.
Action Result Reward
Grab the Rope You stretch out to the very tips of your toes, trying to reach the net. You manage to catch it with your claw and gently pull it off from between the sharp scales. The pangolin is very grateful! +1 Karma
+2 Rhino Beetles
+1 Prevent Point
Grab the Tail You decide it's more convenient for you to take advantage of the animal's current condition. You try to pull it down, but the more you pull at its tail, the more entangled it becomes. Eventually, what ends up on the ground besides debris are parts of the body that you're barely able to scrape some meat out of. -1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Pangolin Scale
+1 Small Meat Chunk
A familiar and tasty scent lures you to a nearby tree, where you find a nest full of young chicks. Upon closer inspection you notice that all the birds are dead. Luckily they haven't been dead for long, as their scent is still quite strong and fresh.
Action Result Reward
Take the nest You lower your head to sniff the birds. They would make for a tasty snack, but there's something odd about the smell of these chicks. You decide to pass, knowing there will be better opportunities later. The nest, however, is a different story. Good nesting material is always useful and it doesn't expire. +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Nesting Material
Take the chicks You sniff the birds hesitantly for a moment, but decide to take them. Food is food, after all. There is something weird about their scent, but you aren't sure what. You'll worry about that later. +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Small Meat Chunk
NOTE: This encounter has a chance to be a trap, regardless of your pride leader's level.
A giant pangolin is waddling towards a termite mound. It does not seem bothered by your presence.
Action Result Reward
Bop It You scoot closer and extend your paw, then... you bop the pangolin. And you bop it again. And again! The creature playfully tries to bop you, too, but its long claws made you jump back right onto a small carcass hidden in the bush! +1 Karma
+50 Experience
+1 Scimitar Oryx Calf Carcass
Twist It You stand at its side and push it! The pangolin rolls and squirms in surprise. You try to attack it, but you only managed to chip off some of its scales. -1 Karma
+50 Experience
+1 Pangolin Scale
Pull It You grab the creature's tail between your teeth and try to pull it! The pangolin rolls into a ball immediately and tackles you. Something cracks as you fall down! Oh, phew - it's not your spine, and it's not one of your legs. It's... a broken drone! +50 Experience
+1 Broken Drone
A grey parrot flies straight at you. It doesn't seem to notice you. Watch out!
Action Result Reward
Duck! Your reaction is fast and the bird misses you by a whisker. You start to regret it, as it was a chance for an effortless catch - but you don't think about it for too long. Since you've stopped here, you may as well rest a little. +2 Rhino Beetles
+3% Energy
A group of people appears in a safe distance from you and they seem to free an animal from a trap. They leave in a machine, leaving you to think.. Maybe not all humans are so bad.
+1 Rhino Beetle
+3 Prevent Points
NOTE: This encounter does not require you to do any actions, or press any buttons.
A huge rhino relaxes with its eyes partially closed, apparently enjoying the moment. It doesn't seem to mind the fact that it's missing its horns. You notice that they've been painlessly removed at the base.
Action Result Reward
Investigate Horns or not, the rhino is still big enough to crush you if it wants to, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen. The rhino continues to relax, letting you approach as close as you want. Suddenly, a strange scent catches your attention, leading you to a pile of bones...human bones. You can't resist taking them. These are perfect for a spooky bedtime story for the cubs! +1 Human Bones
The rhino seems to be ignoring you, letting you wander around as much as you want. Even without the horn it's still intimidating, but it doesn't mean you any harm and its lack of care gives you enough time to comb the area and find something useful. +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Wattle
You hesitate at first but the rhino doesn't seem to care and lets you move as close as you dare. It takes you a while to relax, but eventually you manage to enjoy yourself and engage in a nice chat. The rhino eventually moves off, leaving some beetles behind in thanks for your company. +1 Rhino Beetle
Vibe together It's not often that you meet a rhino that is so relaxed and non-threatening, so you approach carefully, standing side by side in a similar pose, letting the warm wind caress your fur. The rhino gives you a side eye but continues to relax, accepting your presence silently. +1 Rhino Beetle
+1% Impression
A huge tree is covered in blood that catches your attention. There's a human poacher pinned to the bark with a broken elephant tusk. Instant karma, they say.
Action Result Reward
Climb You climb the tree, trying to snatch whatever you can from the corpse. Being a big and clumsy beast, you fall on your back, hurt, but the trophy is yours! -3 Karma
-5% Energy
+1 Broken Elephant Tusk
+1 Human Leg
+1 Small Meat Chunk
Sniff Air You decide to wander under the tree, sniffing around. Between blood splats and broken branches you find the reason of the elephant's wrath - which you decide to take. +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Elephant Calf Carcass
+1 Poacher Gun
A lone antelope is wading in the water, lowering its head from time to time to take a sip. It doesn't hear you through the splashing sounds.
Action Result Reward
Enter the water The longer you observe the antelope, the more you want to join it just to cool yourself off a little bit. Upon entering the water, the antelope runs away in panic, splashing around loudly. However, it doesn't ruin your mood, and you decide to stay here for a while and enjoy the moment. Suddenly, you feel something touching your leg, and you quickly reach out to catch it. +1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+2 African Sharptooth Catfish
You don't have any malicious intentions and you certainly didn't expect the antelope to run away in such panic that it dampened your fur! At this point, you decide to stay a little longer, enjoying the light reflections dancing on the surface of the water. Suddenly, you notice something floating toward you. +1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Water Root
Catch Step by step, you approach the antelope using your best stalking techniques. You have a feeling that the creature wouldn't react even if you casually approached it, but you still don't want to take any chances. When it finally notices you, it's already too late. -1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Lechwe Carcass
NOTE: This encounter can only be found in the Marshlands, Tropical Forest, and Waterhole biomes.
A lonely oryx calf is calling for its mom; obviously lost after running away from predators or poachers.
Action Result Reward
Snatch It You jump ahead, chasing only a little bit after the calf, to finally sink your teeth into the trembling body. -1 Karma
+2 Rhino Beetles
+1 Scimitar Oryx Calf Carcass
Nudge It Wanting to save the baby for future tasty offspring, you roar at the calf, but it freezes in fear. You nudge it towards a bushy area, where finally the oryx dashes into. +1 Karma
+3 Rhino Beetles
+1% Impression
A long-tailed, dark silhouette dashes in front of your eyes. It's a blue monkey having fun running around, but you cannot tell what its purpose is! Maybe there is a deeper meaning in this activity?
Action Result Reward
Observe Thinking that the monkey's behavior may be a warning sign or any other information that could be helpful, you decide to wait in the distance and observe it. However, the longer you watch, the less you understand because there doesn't appear to be any danger nearby. Perhaps you two are just too different. What's more, you see that the monkey lost something and you decide to steal it before it finds it again. +2 Rhino Beetles
Join You observe the monkey for a while but you realize that the only way to understand it is to join it! You start running nearby the creature, trying to see if it changes anything about its behavior. The monkey seems to be in a good mood, enjoying the company even more when it realizes that you aren't going to eat it. While this experience doesn't reveal anything new to you, it was a nice exercise to keep your body stretched and ready for anything else that may happen. +1 Rhino Beetle
+5% Energy
A male Nile Lechwe is checking out his surroundings. The presence of a nearby male challenger has his nerves so frayed that he doesn't even notice you.
Action Result Reward
Search Surroundings You decide to find the challenger, managing to ambush him easily. The ensuing struggle scared away all but a few small beetles. +2 Rhino Beetles
+1 Lechwe Carcass
Roar You let out a deep, low roar to startle the antelope. This starts a chain reaction as a number of other Lechwes suddenly erupt from the bushes, hightailing it out of there, followed by an explosion of birds taking to the sky. After all of the dust and feathers settle, you find something crawling in the dirt. +1 Rhino Beetle
+2% Impression
NOTE: This encounter has a chance to be a trap, regardless of your pride leader's level.
A roar in the sky caught your interest, and as a curious kitty you followed the noise to find a huge machine monster in a clearing. Human scent is fresh, but they already left.
Action Result Reward
Investigate You check out the monster with your scent, sight, paws and teeth. It's not really nommable, so after scratching your claws against the machine, you leave it very broken, not knowing it will cut the poacher's way home. Or maybe you knew? +3 Karma
+7 Prevent Points
+50 Experience
+1% Impression
+1 Helicopter's Tail Rotor
Hide You hide behind a nearby rock and wait. After some time the humans come back, dragging an animal carcass in a bag. You ambush them, managing to hurt two guys before they scatter in fear. The trophy is yours, too. +1 Karma
+5 Prevent Points
+3% Impression
+1 Sable Antelope Carcass
A saker falcon swoops by, hunting some feral pigeons. You imagine yourself as a great army leader with this beautiful bird on your shoulder.
Action Result Reward
Chase Woo! The breeze is chilly and the rush gets your blood pumping! You race the falcon, but it wins, to the surprise of no one. Obviously, it's insanely fast. Oh, well! It dropped a consolation prize just for you. +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Small Bird Carcass
Woo! You race the falcon through clumps of grass and warm dirt, but the bird wins! Obviously, it's just too fast. It dropped a consolation prize for losers just like yourself. What a nice guy. +1 Rhino Beetle
A small rodent with thin legs and long tail sits on the rocks, listening carefully to all of the various nighttime sounds. It hasn't noticed you yet.
Action Result Reward
Observe Observing the tiny rodent for a while is a nice relaxing distraction, and you find that you enjoy this more than the idea of eating it. At least for now. Wouldn't it be nice to have one of them just to look at in your den from time to time? Suddenly, something shiny between the rocks catches your attention, the gerbil forgotten. +1 Rhino Beetle
You decide to stay hidden, observing the gerbil. You have some spare time and you're not that hungry, so trying to guess what the rodent is going to do next is a fun distraction for a bit. Suddenly, it starts to behave differently around one particular rock, and after it leaves, you investigate it to see what secrets it holds. +3 Rhino Beetles
Grab These tiny creatures are fast as wind and catching them is actually a challenge you're ready to take on. You must keep your senses sharp at all times! +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Gerbil Carcass
A small spotted genet runs towards you, sniffing the ground with a focused expression. The creature is so absorbed with what it's doing that it doesn't pay any attention to you.
Action Result Reward
Follow You recognize this behavior at once. The creature is either being secretive about something or it has found something worth further investigation. You follow the genet, somehow managing to stay hidden until the last moment when it starts to dig in the ground. That's when you step out from the shadows to dig up the prize yourself! +1 Critter Bundle
You wait for the perfect moment to start following the genet and try to stay hidden. You are as silent as a shadow, but the creature somehow feels your presence and quickly runs away, changing direction. You try to find its hiding spot, but you don't succeed. You do manage to find something in the ground, but you expected more. +1 Rhino Beetle
A small Zebra Duiker is limping towards a safe place to hide in.
Action Result Reward
Smells Like Dinner You don't even break a sweat when you grab the prey by the neck and walk away. -1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Duiker Carcass
Guard It! You walk by the animal's side, guarding it as it scurries away into a safe area, where it blends with the surroundings. +1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1% Impression
A tiny rat climbs up a dry branch, sniffing the air. When it notices you, it tries to turn around and hide as fast as it can.
Action Result Reward
Break the branch You try to get to the rat by breaking the branch, but you lose sight of the rodent as the branch crashes to the ground. The rat is nowhere to be found, but these sticks that broke off from the branch will be useful later. +1 Rhino Beetle
+3 Stick
Bite You try a few times to find the perfect position to pounce on the rat and dispatch it in one bite. Every time you're about to jump, the creature changes its position, infuriating you beyond your limits. You eventually lose your patience and jump anyway, missing terribly. Your only prize is a dumb large leaf that fell from a tree. +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Large Leaves
You wait for the perfect moment to catch the rat with a single bite. It takes a while but it's worth it when you feel its juicy flesh between your teeth. +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Rat Carcass
A tiny, shivering caracal cub is in front of you, scared to death and orphaned due to poaching.
Action Result Reward
Approach You move closer, trying to see what you're dealing with. The caracal kitten cries in fear and tumbles over a slope, falling onto the rocks below. Maybe it was for the best, it's not like it would survive alone.. -1 Karma
+1 Caracal Skull
Shake Mane You shake your mane with a manly roar, trying to show the cub to stop crying and man up. Times are tough, but he needs to carry on! +1% Impression
Snarl You growl at the cub, catching its attention. It seems to crawl closer and curls up on top of your paws, seeking warmth. You let it rest in the safe presence of your powerful claws, protecting it for the rest of the day, until you both part ways. +1 Karma
+2% Impression
NOTE: This encounter has a chance to be a trap, regardless of your pride leader's level.
A weird construction can be seen even from afar, and you decide to approach it. You can sense something strange about this barrier, and it's not just because of the way it looks. Better not get too close, just in case.
Action Result Reward
Investigate A calming silence surrounds you, which is peaceful and odd. You don't hear or sense anything on the other side. It seems as if no animal wants to be close to this weird fence, which your own instincts warn you against venturing too close. It's quiet here, and perfect for a nap. There, that's much better! +8% Energy
It's very quiet on both sides of the fence. It seems that nothing wants to get too close and you trust your senses to stay away from it. You use this time to search the nearby area carefully. While you don't find much, the silence has a calming effect. +1 Rhino Beetle
+5% Energy
You don't hear or sense any large animals nearby, which is unusual. It's as if nothing wants to get near this fence. You decide to keep your distance as well. Knowing that no one will disturb you, you use the opportunity to take your time exploring the area. You find some beetles sitting in what must be a human footprint! Humans must visit this place often, so it's probably best to leave. +2 Rhino Beetles
An ensnared Ethiopian Wolf is growling at you as you come near.
Action Result Reward
Try to Free It While the wolf is yowling at you in fear, you try to break the snare. You finally figure out where you have to sink your claws and pull really hard and it opens just enough for the animal to make a run for it. It didn't even thank you. Rude. +2 Karma
+2 Rhino Beetles
+2 Prevent Points
+1% Impression
Leave It Be You decide to let the fate deal with the wolf. What if it has rabies or something? As you walk away, you find a possible lure humans left to attract the carnivore. +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Dorcas Gazelle Carcass
+1 Puku Carcass
End Its Suffering You crush the wolf's ribcage with your mighty paw, feeling the last wheeze of life escape under your weight. -3 Karma
+2 Rhino Beetles

Behold! An ancient primal spirit has possessed this shaman!

"Finally, I've found the strong lion I've been seeking. The spirits are disturbed, joined suddenly by the ones who were killed as mere trophies... too early, too many." She speaks deeply in her trance, whilst a feral spirit begins to manifest before your very eyes.
Action Result Reward
Listen "The hunters shall become the hunted. These humans must pay the price for their cruel, evil deeds. You must spawn a cub that will be used as the tool for our revenge. This tool will let us, the ancient spirits, rise up in the form of a Ferus, to bring a devastating end to all poaching." The shaman approaches you and hands you a pouch of herbs. You have been granted a rare gift - use it wisely! +1 Mukombero
NOTE: This encounter will only have a chance of appearing once Tier Two of the Black Market is unlocked. It is an extremely rare encounter; however, upon unlocking Tier Three of the Black Market, it will become slightly more common to come across.

For more information on the Mukombero item, check out the Primal (Ferus) section of the Primals page!
Easily mistaken for stone from a distance, a nearly motionless tortoise lies huddled under a shrub. It seems to be ignoring everything and everyone, but it's hard to know for sure with its unchanging expression.
Action Result Reward
Grab You quickly snatch the tortoise up. Easy snacks are the best! You keep your energy stored up for more challenging tasks. +1 Small Tortoise
Chill You try to relax in the same spot as the tortoise but you're too big and the shrub branches painfully prick your skin. Close to giving up, you notice something next to the tortoise, and swipe it up and head on your way without a second glance at the dinosaur. +2 Rhino Beetles
Gasp! This huge rhino has noticed you, but thankfully it does not seem to be aggressive.
Action Result Reward
Approach You sit down in the shadow of the colossal animal and rub your head against its belly, doing your best to show your good intentions. The animal huffs, but lets you rest, protecting you as you feed. It's quite sad there aren't many rhinos left to share such moments with. +2 Rhino Beetles
+5% Energy
NOTE: This encounter has a chance to be a trap, regardless of your pride leader's level.
Gasp! This is unbelievable! A true Atlas Lion wandered here, maybe all the way from the Atlas Mountains. Could it be a lion reintroduced to the wild? Or maybe they're not extinct after all? Either way he looks like a massive guy.
Action Result Reward
Spar! Initiates a battle with a Lion. +1 Rhino Beetle if the battle is won.
Admire You take a step back and sit down to check out that giant mane, catching a small break. As the male wanders around and roars deeply, you can feel the tremble in your lungs which sends shivers down your spine. This guy better produce some amazing cubs in the future. It would be awesome to see Atlas lions running around! +1 Karma
+5% Energy
NOTE: This encounter has a chance to be a trap, regardless of your pride leader's level.
High pitched squeaks catch your attention, revealing a lonely rhino. It wanders away from its mom's corpse, which is sadly missing its horn.
Action Result Reward
Take Chance You decide to take a risk and attack the baby rhino. Would've been a great easy meal, but you suddenly notice another agitated rhino defending the baby. See below for further actions.
Attack! Initiates a battle with a Rhino. Acts as a regular battle, so you can gain SB, Experience, and Impression if the battle is won. No Rhino Beetles are awarded for this battle.
Hide Not taking a risk, you decide to hide in the bushes. A male rhino shows up and sniffs the corpse before leaving with the baby. Once they've gone, you investigate the carcass. +1 Rhino Carcass
+1 Rhino Skull
Growl You let a loud short growl. The baby animal jumps and scurries away, running to hide behind a Rhino Bull that emerges from the bushveld. You decide to go around and find a nice compensation for the lost meal. +1 Hirola Carcass
NOTE: This encounter has a chance to be a trap, regardless of your pride leader's level.
Investigating whimpering noises, you find a dirt patch with a dead serval strangled in a trap. A little cub is trying to pull her out, not realizing this is over.
Action Result Reward
Sit Nearby You sit down a few meters away and observe the cub with compassion. It decides to curl next to you and doesn't protest when you lick blood off of its head. The cub will learn how to avoid traps for the future and teach its own offspring as well. +4 Karma
+4% Impression
Growl A heartless scoundrel, you growl at the cub in hopes of shooing it away. It won't go, so you end its misery. Clingy wimps won't survive in the wild. -2 Karma
+1 Serval Skull
+1 Serval Tail
Looks like this rare Addax calf got injured in a trap, but there's also a weird human-made healing wrap around its leg. The distress moans make your teeth itch.
Action Result Reward
Pounce You run towards the antelopes, but the mother manages to keep you at distance with her pointy horns. You huff annoyed and walk away. -1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle (Very High Chance)
You rush at the antelopes, but the mom tries to fight back! You manage to take her down. Perhaps fortunately, the calf ran away during the struggle. -3 Karma

Oh no! You find a dead, field-dressed zebra. Some nasty poachers must have skinned it on sight. An injured but alive foal is standing next to it, too attached to its mother to return back to its herd. While it's too late to save the parent, maybe you can help the baby?
Action Result Reward
Take the Meat You ignore the foal and drag away the carcass, eager for the valuable meat. -5 Karma
+3 Large Meat Chunk
Help the foal You try to help the foal by escorting it out towards a big herd. It can barely walk, but there's a chance it will eventually heal and produce more zebra babies for your future cubs. +5 Karma
+1% Impression (Very High Chance)
You try to help the foal by escorting it towards a big herd, but it keeps following you instead. Maybe your pride could take care of it until it gets better? +1 Injured Zebra Foal (Very Low Chance)
This lion has nothing exceptional about him...until you notice it. A part of his mane appears missing, making him look quite unusual. He says that he's a visitor from Niassa, but this fact can't tell you if every lion there has this trait, or if he's a one off.
Action Result Reward
Mock The more you look, the more the lion appears as if he is balding in an odd way. You don't even try to hold your laughter while making a few comments about his head resembling a landing spot for birds. To you, it's a joke, but when something soft and stinky hits your head, you understand the message. You definitely know that you crossed the line this time! -1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Fermented Marula Fruit
You don't even try to hide your thoughts, bursting into laughter instantly. You ask the lion if he's sure he doesn't have a vulture for a mother, which visibly angers him, but you don't care at all. Suddenly, you hear a short snarl, and something hits your back, falling to the ground. When you notice what it is, you only send the strange lion a confused look, but he turns and leaves without looking back. -1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Vulture Egg
Wrestle You look at the lion, analyzing it carefully. It may be balding...or maybe it's just its charm. Is it equally strong or not? It definitely looks as if you could win easily. There is only one way to find out. You jump at it, but to your surprise, its reaction is as fast as yours, and you're soon wrestling on the ground, checking out each other's strong and weak points. There's no excessive aggression between you, but your opponent doesn't give up, proving his skills. You both stop after a while, silently observing each other. You will remember not to judge too fast. +1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle

This orphaned cheetah cub is sitting helplessly in shock from losing its parents to poachers.
Action Result Reward
Kill It You decide to quickly kill the cub. It wouldn't survive all by itself - better to spare it death from starvation. -1 Karma
+1 Cheetah Skull
Roar You let out a warning roar. After all, a cheetah is a cheetah and eats your food - they can outrun you anyway! This one, however, seems unable to master that skill and trips over an eroding ledge. It falls into a crocodile infested mudbank with a splat. At least now you know where not to walk.. +50 Experience
Purr You're big and clumsy, but you sit down and try to purr a bit to catch the cub's attention. It scoots closer and sits with you, purring, till you part ways after some time, when the cub seems less sad. +1 Karma
+1% Impression
NOTE: This encounter has a chance to be a trap, regardless of your pride leader's level.
This small orphaned hyena pup wandered away from a safer thicket right into your paws.
Action Result Reward
Kill It You decide to kill the pup. It wouldn't survive on its own and you wouldn't want it to anyway. -1 Karma
+50 Experience
Torture Your inner sadist gets some entertainment from torturing the puppy hyena. You play with it morbidly before finally ending its life by one slightly too bloody swipe. -5 Karma
-1% Impression (No effect if you are at 0% Impression)

This weird rhino has a hole in its horn. It seems to bleed an odd colour from the man-made wraps. After seeing so many rhinos with their faces cut off, you start to think some humans are trying to prevent that from happening again.
Two small black footed kittens are playing together under the supervision of their mother, who appears to be half asleep and immune to the tiny claws of her offspring.
Action Result Reward
Play You can't help it. The kittens are too cute, and you try to play with them as gently as you can. Their mother observes you warily at first, but she relaxes when she realizes your peaceful intentions. You let the kittens climb your legs and even bite them, which feel like nothing more than little fly bites. Their mother doesn't want to let you go without a small gift, thanking you for entertaining the kittens for a while. +2 Karma
+2 Rhino Beetles
+1 Gem: Cat's Eye
Kill The mother of the kittens tries to attack you, standing in front of her offspring before you get a chance to hurt them. You turn around instantly, irritated at her boldness toward a big lion like you. You jump at the cat but she is too tiny and too fast, hiding beyond your reach along with her kittens. You eventually give up, releasing your frustration with a loud growl. It's not worth the effort anyway. +1 to 2 Rhino Beetles
When you pass by, the mother of the kittens hisses at you, defending her young ones. You're not in the mood to let anyone mess around with you today. You turn back in an instant, leaving her no time to escape. You're not interested in the kittens and let them go, but they're probably too young to survive alone. -2 Karma

What's this strange antelope? He calls himself a Persian fallow deer, and says he comes from the distant Middle East. He's here to search for new forests, as the ones in his homeland are disappearing.
Action Result Reward
Give Directions You greet the deer, asking what sort of preference he has regarding his new home. You listen closely through his accent and figure out that a riparian woodland would be the best to suit him! You both walk along the river shore, where you find a hippo rotting away. The deer seems quite content that the rotting meat is more interesting to you than his herd, so he walks away unnoticed as you investigate the carcass. +1 Rhino Beetle
+4 Prevent Points
+1 Hippo Fat (Very Low Chance)
You greet the deer, but you're having some trouble communicating with him. You aren't able to understand his accent very well. Fortunately, you're able to pick up that he's looking for a thick forest. You show him the way, excited to share your lands with such exotic animals! +2 Rhino Beetles
+2 Prevent Points (Moderate Chance)
You greet the deer, curious about his preferences. He has a thick accent, but thankfully you're able to make out a "river" and a "forest". You show the deer to a small stream, which trails off to feed a bigger river. You suggest that he and his herd go down south, where the weather is less harsh. As you're parting ways, you catch a glimpse of vigorous fish in the water. +2 Rhino Beetles

When a small ball of fur moves in front of you, you recognize it as a Burton's Vlei Rat. It stops moving as soon as it notices you, probably thinking that staying still as a statue would fool you somehow.

Catch This creature is so tiny that you almost don't feel it under your paw but a success is still a success and it wouldn't be wise to complain about getting such an easy kill. +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Rat Carcass
Follow There is no need to eat this rodent when you can have way more fun by following it. Maybe it will lead you to more of its kind, which would make a nice meal! You start to get bored as you follow it when you suddenly notice that the creature is checking a hiding place nearby. Letting the rodent disappear, you shove your face into the hiding spot to see what it left behind. +1 Rhino Beetle

When you notice a hunting owl above, you know that you have to take a closer look! That sight means only one thing: there is food somewhere and you need to investigate that!
Action Result Reward
Steal After a while, you notice the owl's prey and quickly calculate your chances, running as fast as possible to catch it before the owl. You somehow succeed, and you feel the owl's talons scratching your back as it misses its catch. The bird flies away immediately, but you hear a waterfall of curse words above your head. -1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Slender Mongoose Carcass
Let it be You calculate your chances and you decide that you could probably catch the prey before the owl even had a chance. However, you decide not to do that, and let the bird have its meal.

You cannot decide if the creature in front of you looks more like a goat or a sheep, but it looks back at you equally focused. After a second, you realize why: it's a mother protecting her lamb, who takes a step back upon seeing you.
Action Result Reward
Check them out You approach the sheep with curiosity, still a bit confused about their mixed scent. Despite smelling like both a goat and a sheep, she insists that she's the latter so you have no other choice than to accept it. The lamb is initially scared of you but comes closer after a while, sniffing your mane and checking you out. When you're not hungry, you see it as cute and innocent, which calms your instincts a little bit. +1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+2% Energy
You're more curious than hungry so you approach the sheep, sniffing it carefully. She insists she's a sheep but you definitely smell a goat scent as well. You try to be friendly with the lamb but it's scared of you and hides behind its mother. You tried and your intention is appreciated, but it will be best for the young one if you don't scare it anymore. They both leave after a while and you find out that the lamb left something behind - but it's too late to run after them to return it. +1 Karma

You catch the scent of a rare antelope and follow it for a while. The balbok male you eventually spot gets nervous as soon as you show up.
Action Result Reward
Attack! Initiates a battle with a Balbok. +3 Rhino Beetles if the battle is won.
Lie Down You show your good intentions by laying down and slowly blinking at the antelope. He kicks at the ground a bit, but eventually calms down and leads his herd to a more secluded spot. Perhaps it's for the best if they don't venture out into the open, where poachers could see them. When you get up to move, you find something crawling in the dirt. +1 Karma

You come across a peculiar sight. A group of humans is busy digging tiny holes and leaving grown bamboo in each one. That's strange; you thought that they only take the plants away, not leave them. Are there two types of humans?
Action Result Reward
Observe You really want to get closer to observe their work. More bamboo is a good thing, and you start to think about their cool shade and more places to rest. When you move too close, the humans notice you, leaving you no option but to leave. One step closer would cause them to run away in fear, and they're doing good things with the plants. With a disappointed sigh, you turn away, but remember the spot to return to later. +1 Rhino Beetle
You try to find the best way to sit and observe without scaring the humans away. You want them to finish their job! More bamboo means more shade and more places to relax during a heatwave. You pretend to be taking a nap but observe with one eye open, smiling when you hear the humans commenting about you. You can't understand anything, but their tone sounds like admiration, which is pleasant to your ear. To your surprise, you find the leaf of a different plant right next to you, making you wonder if humans will plant more of this kind, too. +1 Karma

Interrupt You can't help it; your curiosity is stronger than your common sense. You are more interested in the plants than the humans, but when they start screaming and running away, you feel a warm satisfaction fill your body. It's how it should be, but you're not sure if you did the right thing this time. +1 Rhino Beetle
Your curiosity is stronger than any fear you have of humans. Your intentions aren't harmful at first, but when you sense the fear of the humans, it turns your instincts on within seconds. You can't deny that you enjoy seeing them run away, but when you're alone again, your excitement wears off just as fast as it appeared. You search the area out of boredom, and end up finding something that may be useful later. -1 Karma

You have spotted a faceless elephant body. It is surrounded by dead vultures. This looks suspicious.

You nearly bump into a cold metal fence. You don't remember it being here. Is it something new? Or maybe you lost your way?
Action Result Reward
Walk along You decide to investigate the area a bit more. How long is this thing? Is there a way to get inside? Curiosity gets the better of you and you trek alongside it for a while, but the fence seems endless and eventually you start to tire. You find some beetles before you turn away and stash them for later. +2 Rhino Beetles
Roar loudly You sniff around, but you can't find any way to get inside. You let out a loud roar, wondering if someone can hear it on the other side. When two large coconuts fly over the fence, almost hitting your head, you have your answer. There is someone there, and they don't like you! +1 Rhino Beetle

You try to look for a way inside but to no avail. Irritated, you let out a loud roar that echoes in the air.

+1 Sable Antelope Carcass
You charge at the antelope, but it notices you too quickly to fall under your weight at once. You dance in a fight, raising clouds of dust around you. The antelope ends up wounded but still strong enough to slip away and escape. When you gather your thoughts again, you notice some large horns on the ground. You have no idea how you managed to break them, but they're too cool not to take. -1 Karma
+1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Sable Horns
Approach Mesmerized by the size and shape of the horns, you approach the antelope, trying to take a closer look. It notices you almost right away, ready to run, but you manage to calm it down, convincing it that you're not interested in a hunt right now. The antelope is still anxious and doesn't fully trust you, casting you with side eyes. When it suddenly offers to show you some ostrich eggs, you're sure that it's only to fill you up, lest you get a taste for antelope. When you take a first look at the eggs, the antelope runs away as fast as it can. You don't blame it at all. +1 Karma

You notice a human trying to pick something up from the ground and it seems challenging for them. When you come closer, you see it's a rolled pangolin. Its scent is fresh so it's still alive!
Action Result Reward
Roar To your amusement, the human screams and runs away, forgetting about the weapon behind its back. You take advantage of its fear and enjoy chasing it away further from the pangolin. However, when you return to check on the pangolin, it's already gone. No matter-you'll remember the fear painted on the human's face for the rest of the day, and that's more than enough for you. +1 Rhino Beetle

You puff out your chest, letting out a roar, hoping to scare the human away. However, you don't notice the weapon on its back. A sudden, sharp, deafening noise fills the air, forcing you to run for your life. When you're able to gather your thoughts again, you see the human's silhouette far away, running fast like a zebra. There's no pangolin in his hands, but when you recheck the area, it's already gone. A few feet away you find one of its scales and fresh pawprints. You are in no mood to look for it anymore, and decide to move on. +1 Rhino Beetle

You spot the bright fur of a golden mole that has decided to show itself above the ground. The more you look at it, the more you feel the urge to pester it.
Action Result Reward
Threaten Perhaps you shouldn't feel so confident while threatening a tiny blind creature, but you know well enough that when it comes to the underground world, they know many secrets that they could, with gentle encouragement, share. When you start questioning the mole, you realize that it can't hear you; it's deaf! With a heavy sigh, you simply dig in the soft soil out of frustration. To your surprise, you manage to find something! +1 Rhino Beetle
+1 Phantom Quartz
You approach the mole with a mischievous smirk, but you stop after realizing that the creature can't see you anyway. Instead, you speak with your most intimidating voice, demanding something in return for sparing its life. However, the mole is deaf, so it simply vanishes in the long tunnels of its burrow as soon as it smells your scent, never resurface again and leaving you alone with mixed feelings. How embarrassing. +1 Rhino Beetle
+2% Energy
Dig While the mole could become an easy meal, you're far more interested in its burrow. The fresh, soft soil beckons you. There might be something useful buried there! You love surprises. You don't really care that it's an entrance to the mole's tunnels; you simply dig deeper and deeper until you feel something hard under your paw. +1 Rhino Beetle

It seems to work and you spend a while exchanging news about your homelands. When you part ways eventually, you think you would like to know more about the world and perhaps make a similar trip someday. +1 Rhino Beetle

Compliment You smile instantly, complimenting the visitor's mane and graceful movements, assuming that he must be a good hunter and an unmatched leader. Especially since he carries a Persian onager carcass with him like it was a trophy. You say all of this while looking at the meaty snack that the lion brought with him. He quickly understands your intention, and shares his meal with you. Afterward, you sense that there might have been something else he wanted to say, but didn't. -2 Karma

Slash After stalking the humans for some time, you rush out of the tall grasses and swipe at them fiercely with your claws, just managing to rip the back of one's shirt! Close one! They panicked and ran. +2 Karma

Sneak You crawl in the thicket, meter by meter. You finally find yourself in a good position to scare off a Hartebeest herd into the humans' direction. They run away so fast! +1 Karma

Take Cover You try to hide in the landscape, which you know like the back of your paw. Maybe not the bravest move, but it will definitely save your fuzzy butt. Whilst there, you notice a discarded human kill.. +2 Elephant Calf Carcass

Traps  

Some of the encounters shown above have a low chance to be trapped, which will lead to an "It's a Trap!" message being displayed. These encounters have been marked with notes indicating they can be trapped. If an encounter does not say it has a chance to be a trap, it will not trap you.

These traps do not affect your karma and will replace whichever result you would have normally received from the action you chose for an encounter.

Depending on the encounter, if your pride leader's level is lower than 6, they will automatically be trapped! The results are randomised throughout traps.


Result Reward
In the close distance you notice a freshly killed zebra that seems to be all alone - no scavengers! What a rare chance! Blinded by your hunger instincts, you start nomming. But... It was poisoned! Your body rejects the toxins but you suffer from sickness. -1% to -10% Energy
Literally from under your paws a large net jumps into the air! Luckily, you weren't in it.. Must be your spider senses or something. The net falls from the tree.. But something seems to be caught in it! +1 Leopard's Meal
Oh no, your leg got caught in something! It was a human trap! Luckily after some nibbling it broke away, although you did lose some dignity. -1% Impression
NOTE: You will only lose -1% Impression if your Impression progress is above 0%. This will not set you back an Impression level.
Suddenly you get launched into the air - trapped in a net! With some wiggling you manage to free yourself out with a few bruises and luckily there's no humans around anymore. -1% to -15% Energy
While exploring, you feel the ground fall away beneath you and you tumble into a hole with sharp sticks at the bottom. After struggling for a while, you manage to climb out, bloodied and bruised. -1% to -10% Energy
+1 Random scar from the Scar Bundle (Very Low Chance)
You hear sudden crack and duck back. You notice colourful darts landing in the place you were standing. That adrenaline rush! +1% to 10% Energy
You notice something unsettling - it's a human trap! Thankfully you're clever enough to not get caught in it. +1% Impression
You step on something cracking and feel a sudden pain in your back. A colourful dart just hit you, forcing you to doze off. When you wake up it's late, but you're still alive, at least. -5% to -15% Hunger
