Every Farcamp world makes up animals of its own, and until now their sizes were drawn evenly from a narrow band: a made-up rabbit could be anywhere from a fifth smaller to a fifth bigger than an Earth rabbit, and no smaller. The owner noticed there were no really small bunnies, and asked for something closer to nature: most animals near their family's usual size and build, with the odd one far from it.

So every made-up number now follows one rule. Most species land close to normal, fewer further out, and about one species in twenty is a real outlier: a rabbit less than half the usual size, a boar half again as big. Size still sets how much meat an animal gives, how tough it is and how fast it moves, so a tiny bunny is quick and barely a meal.



Shape varies the same way, but in groups. A species' legs grow or shrink together, so a rare tall tortoise stands tall on all four legs instead of on one odd long shin. Girth, neck, head, ears and tail each move as a group too, with small differences between parts on top. Grouse, which until now only changed colour, can now be plumper or slimmer, longer-legged, longer-tailed or longer-beaked.



Rare shapes found two weak spots. A deer with a rare small head grew its antlers where a normal head would be, floating in the air; a rare stout coyote's chest folded over the root of its neck. Now the eyes, ears and antlers follow the head's size, and the stoutness fades out towards the neck.

## Open questions

- Some made-up tortoises have legs whose tops fold over themselves where they join the body. It happens inside the shell, so nobody can see it, and it is filed to fix later.
