Hey everyone! Today we are launching Wurt and Hallowed Nights! This is kind of a lot of stuff. So hang in there with me.

The Monster Mash:

The cold wind howls. Trees stand tall and bare, their skeletal branches silhouetted against a broken moon. Gather close children, for these are the Hallowed Nights when ghouls and monsters come out to play and something has started watching our Survivors from the fog. [previewyoutube=jG2euiPFkbg;full][/previewyoutube] Being a young and impressionable merm, Wurt has grown quite fascinated by the Survivors and their strange ways. Bucking the usual merm tradition of simply stomping anything new and strange into the ground, she has decided to venture outside her cozy swamp to learn more about these odd scale-less beings. Perhaps this will be the start of a new chapter in Survivor-merm relations...

• Wurt can spot where danger is hiding in the swamp
• Wurt can craft the Royal Tapestry and make a home for the Merm King and his Guards:
  • The Royal Tapestry requires materials from all over The Constant
  • The Merm King provides all Merms extra strength to fight
  • Wurt must feed the Merm King to prevent him from starving
• Wurt can craft Merm Houses and Merm Flort-ifications
• She moves faster while on the swamp and can craft tiles to expand her turf
• Wurt is a vegetarian with a particular appreciation for Durians
• Wurt can craft a Clever Disguise to get other survivors to blend in with her swamp friends
• Likes to keep Pet Fish in her inventory
• Strongly dislikes Pigs
• Being wet does not affect her strong grip

During Hallowed Nights, we have increased the drop chance of Hallowed Nights items, so be on the look-out for these rare items and snag them all while you can!
