Blue Moth Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 There's a few creatures of the chinese zodiac that i don't really see an equivalent to in DST, and i was wondering what you guys think they might be! So far we have Rooster - Gobbler Dog - Varg Pig - Pig King Rat - Carrat Ox - Beefalo Tiger - Catcoon Rabbit - Bunnyman Remaining zodiacs - Dragon Snake Horse Goat Monkey I have a few ideas for what some of them will be, like the dragon is more than likely the dragonfly, (which sounds like it'd be an AWESOME event, though on second thought i dunno how fair it would be to theme an event around a raid boss), the goat would be the volt goat, and the monkey would be the splumonkey or maybe the monkey queen, but what about the snake and horse? As far as i know there's nothing close to a snake in DST, and the closest we have to the horse is the clockwork knight, but i dunno, "year of the clockwork knight" feels too weird for an event, though it very well could be. Well, what do you guys think it could be? I would love to see your thoughts as well as any alternatives to my own suggestions.

But i can see them doing beef again. Maybe bring back zebs or introduce an organic version of knights? Like how AG is rook.

Wouldn't be such a stretch to say the addition of snakes to dst is a possibility, though not guaranteed.

Nogard78 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I have heard an interesting sentence that next update could be themed around saladmanders. After all they use fire and they are a DRAGONfriut mutation. So who knows?

Wouldn't be such a stretch to say the addition of snakes to dst is a possibility, though not guaranteed. Considering how Klei removes most features players find to be annoying, I wouldn’t hold my breath on snakes or poison damage being added to DST. Year of events do add Permanent core game content (or they have been lately..) So I’d expect something like a Dragonfly rework, probably even some new event themed crafts, or OR they’ll probably give us a way to craft a shrine dedicated to Dragonfly that idk, turns it Passive to us or some silly crap like that. As much as I’d love to see Wigfrids now recently buffed Fireproof Falesto (that’s now actually fireproof) and Willow the Fire Immune shine against Fire based dragon mobs- It’s not happening. Though Flame spitting Undead Vargs do give me hope. They could easily reskin the undead Vargs into fire spitting Chinese dragons, that would be cool. Speaking of Chinese Dragons- There’s the Lucky Dragon costume that’s always been in the game since Forever, so you’ll probably do some super silly event like building a manniquin display and putting dragon costumes on it for Beefalo man to judge the length of your dragon or something. Meanwhile: I’ll be taking this opportunity to BEG Klei for either Year of the Dragon, or Year of the Snake to add a new mini game into the Trade Keepers Mini Games (we haven’t got a new one since forever) I use to play this Old PC game called “Snakes” you’ve all heard of it right? You chase down various fruits and eat them with your Chinese dragon/snake and you grow in length as you eat, there’s Single player & Multiplayer versions of this game In Solo you just try to avoid hitting yourself in VS you try to grow the largest snake you can to “Box In” other snakes/Chinese dragons. I want THAT in the Game for a new trade inn Mini Game.

Cheggf Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Dragon: Saladmanders, dragonfly, or they add something new. Snake: Depths worms or they add something like DSA's snakes. Horse: Clockwork knight or they add something like zeb. Goat: Volt goat. Monkey: Celestial Champion's second phase.

They're such awesome mobs. I love them... as much as i love splumonkeys. Actually splumonkeys are better in some ways cause they only bother you in the entrance of the ruins and they fight worms, you can also make them extinct unlike worms. Real quick top 5 worst non-boss enemies to deal with list: D-Worm: Fairly big hp for a jerk that you can only hit in a small time frame (especially bad with waves cause they are hard to line up). Splumonkey: Steals lantern for fun + throws feces + horde mob + NIGHTMARE APE MODE. Fire hounds: Suicide bomber the dog. If a noobs kills this in your base, pray your flingos are on. Frog: Yoinks your stuff + Literally falls from the sky + horde mob + atleast makes good food. Pengulls: Now why would these cuties be on the list? Good question but i have a better one. Why do they have to casually commit vandalism to walls?!?!. Tell me if im missing a good contender. Edit: Red gems redeem Fire hounds a little bit.

Ohan Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Crossing my fingers that yot dragon is gonna be about saladmanders even though dfly is the obvious choice… id really like more ways to interact with them.

Not really, in Chinese, neither moose nor goose have the character horse in it. Meanwhile the Chinese chess equivalent of knight is literally called the horse, it's more likely to be the knight than moose/goose Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/153548-chinese-zodiac-predictions/#findComment-1691334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
