==Overview==
The [[Mountain]] is a location in the [[Gnawnia]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Journeyman]] to enter.<br/>
Mice in the [[Mountain]] may steal points, gold, or cheese.<br/>
The [[Mountain]] contains the only [[Charm Shoppe]] where Hunters can purchase the [[Charm Conduit]], which allows the arming of [[Charms]].<br/>
Hunters accessing the [[Mountain]] for the first time will only have access to [[Physical]] weapons, but the mice here have a weakness to all [[Power Type]]s, '''except''' the [[Ninja Mouse]] which has a weakness only to [[Tactical]] and [[Physical]] weapons.

==Mice==
All mice in the [[Mountain]], '''except''' the [[Ninja Mouse]], are from the [[Indigenous Mice]] group and are weak to all [[Power Type]]s.<br/>
The [[Ninja Mouse]] is one of the [[Followers of Furoma]] and [[Tactical]] traps are very effective against it.  [[Physical]] traps are of normal effectiveness. All other [[Power Type]]s are ineffective.

===Cheese Preference and Loot===
[[Standard Cheese]] attracts most mice in the [[Mountain]].<br/>
[[White Cheddar Cheese]] will reduce the mouse population by repelling the [[Brown]], [[Grey]], and [[White]] mice.<br/> 
{{SB}} will attract all mice in the [[Mountain]].<br/>
[[Prospector's Charm]]s increase the attraction rate of [[Gold Mouse|Gold]], [[Diamond Mouse|Diamond]], and (with {{SB}} armed) [[Silvertail]] mice.<br/>

===Mice with Special Requirements===
*[[M400]] – This mouse will sometimes be available in the [[Mountain]] when Hunters are actively working an [[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]]. It is attracted only to [[Fusion Fondue]] which will not attract any other mice. It drops a wide variety of loot.

== Hunting Strategy ==
Mice in the [[Mountain]] are attracted to [[Standard Cheese]]s.<br/>
All mice in the [[Mountain]] are weak to all [[Power Type]]s '''except''' the [[Ninja Mouse]], which has a weakness only to [[Tactical]], and [[Physical]] weapons.<br/>
Hunters who reach the [[Rank]] of [[Master]] will be able to travel to the [[Great Gnarled Tree]], [[Laboratory]], [[Mousoleum]], and [[Town of Digby]], provided they have the appropriate [[Maps and Keys]].<br/>
Hunters will need to loot the [[Laboratory Map Piece]] from a [[Ninja Mouse]] to be able to travel to the [[Laboratory]] and [[Toxic Spill]] locations. The [[Toxic Spill]] location also require Hunters to be ranked [[Hero]] or higher..

===[[Adventure Book]]===
Hunters can [[Find the Hidden Mountain Pass]] by catching a [[Ninja Mouse]] in the [[Mountain]] to find a [[Laboratory Map Piece]].

===[[Library Assignments]]===
*[[M400 Bait Research Assignment]] - This assignment may require Hunters to track down specific items from [[Mountain]] mice in order to complete it.
*[[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]] - This assignment may require capturing the [[M400]] in the [[Mountain]].

===[[Tournaments]]===
[[Mountain]] mice are worth points during some [[Tournaments]].

===[[Treasure Map]]s===
Many mice in the [[Mountain]] are often found on [[Gnawnia Treasure Map]]s and [[Relic Hunter Treasure Maps]].

=== Hunting tips by [[Larry]] ===

Welcome, Mousehunter! You’re about to discover the stunning vistas and treacherous terrain of... The Mountain!

The [[Gold Mouse|Gold]] and [[Diamond Mouse|Diamond]] mice found here are worth a handsome amount of [[gold]] and [[points]]. Extra income means that you may now be able to afford more expensive [[cheese]]s and more powerful [[traps]]. Don’t be afraid to head back to town and [[Shop|upgrade]] your trap and cheese if you have problems attracting or catching mice. You’ve earned it!

I should also warn you that a mysterious [[Ninja]] mouse has traveled to the Mountain from the North, carrying a [[Laboratory Map Piece|piece of the map]]. Should you find this rare Ninja and acquire the map piece, it will unlock a new hunting location to the [[Burroughs|north]]!

==Location-Specific Effects==
===Charms===
* The [[Prospector's Charm]] increases the attraction rate of [[Gold Mouse|Gold]], [[Diamond Mouse|Diamond]], and (with {{SB}} armed) [[Silvertail]] mice in the Mountain.

== Shops ==
[[Moustachio the Charmer]] opened his first [[Charm Shoppe]] in the [[Mountain]]. There are no other [[Shops]] available in this location.
