Every Farcamp world makes up some animals of its own: rabbits, deer, coyotes and boars that exist nowhere else, each with its own colour, build and habits. Until now tortoises and grouse were left out. Every world had only the Earth tortoise, with its plain seamed shell, and the Earth grouse, with its mottled back, so the other shell and feather patterns made for them never showed up in play.

Now each world makes up tortoise and grouse species too. A made-up tortoise keeps the olive shell of its family, wears one of four shell patterns (dark seams, growth rings, star rays or pale spots), and gets skin in its species' colour. It also stays a tortoise in how it lives: slow, armoured, and settling by the water. A made-up grouse takes its species' colour on every feather and wears one of the bird patterns: barred, speckled, mottled, wing bars, scalloped or an eye stripe. Neither family grows the horns, plates or feelers other made-up animals can have.





Tortoises and grouse join the end of the list a world works through when it makes up its animals, so the rabbits, deer, coyotes and boars in a world are the same as before.

## Open questions

- Made-up tortoises vary in leg length like other made-up animals, so some stand taller than the Earth tortoise. Is that right for a tortoise, or should their legs stay short?
