  | colspan="2" align="center" style="font-size:110%; padding:10px;" | The enticing blue water hypnotizes hunters, distracting them from the dangerous mice that take up residence nearby. The terrain that surrounds the Lagoon is extremely unsteady, comprised of jagged rocks and slick moss. High up in the trees that surround the Lagoon are the nests of Harpy mice who act as a plague to all hunters, stealing their cheese, gold and crippling their courage. Some mice here are not attracted to conventional bait. It is highly recommended that a hunter use Gnarled cheese when hunting at the Lagoon.

== Overview ==
The [[Lagoon]] is a location in the [[Whisker Woods]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Grandmaster]] and the [[Map of the Lagoon]] to enter.<br/>
Mice in the [[Lagoon]] can steal gold, points, and cheese if not caught.<br/>
Mice in the [[Lagoon]] are primarily weak to [[Tactical]], [[Hydro]], and, to a lesser degree, [[Shadow]] weapons.  Other power types may have some effectiveness, but are not likely to perform well.

== Lagoon Mice ==
The majority of the mice found in the [[Lagoon]] are part of the [[Forest Guild]].<br/>
The [[Hydra]] and [[Water Nymph]] mice are part of the [[Aquatic Order]] and the [[Black Widow Mouse]] is part of the [[Indigenous Mice]] group.<br/>
All mice in the [[Lagoon]] are weak to [[Hydro]] and [[Tactical]] weapons.  With the exception of the [[Hydra]] and [[Water Nymph]] mice, the mice in the [[Lagoon]] are also weak to [[Shadow]] weapons.<br/>
The table below lists the most effective power type for each mouse, though other power types may be used with some success.

===Cheese Preference and Loot===
[[Gnarled Cheese]] is required to attract the majority of the mice found in the [[Lagoon]].<br/>
[[Wicked Gnarly Cheese]] has the same attraction as [[Gnarled Cheese]], but is required to attract the [[Silth Mouse]]<br/>
[[Standard Cheese]] and {{SB}} attract very few mice in the [[Lagoon]].

===Mice with Special Requirements===
*[[Relic Hunter Mouse]] – This mouse visits the [[Lagoon]] on an irregular basis. It does not consume cheese or charms. Hunters must have an [[Ancient Relic]] in their inventory to attract this mouse. The [[Ancient Relic]] will be taken by the [[Relic Hunter Mouse]] in exchange for a [[Relic Hunter Scroll Case]]. 
*[[M400]] – This mouse will sometimes be available in the [[Lagoon]] 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 [[Lagoon]] are predominantly weak to [[Tactical]], [[Hydro]], and, to a lesser degree, [[Shadow]] weapons.  Other power types may have some effectiveness, but are not likely to perform well.

The mice found in the [[Lagoon]] are primarily attracted to [[Gnarled Cheese]][ and [[Wicked Gnarly Cheese]].  [[Wicked Gnarly Cheese]] is '''required''' to attract the [[Silth Mouse]].

Hunters must collect [[Gnarled Potion]]s and [[Wicked Gnarly Potion]]s in the [[Great Gnarled Tree]] in order to create [[Gnarled Cheese]] and [[Wicked Gnarly Cheese]].

[[Standard Cheese]] and {{SB}} attract very few mice in the [[Lagoon]]. 

Hunters that reach the rank of [[Legendary]] and find the [[Ship Blueprints]] will be able to [[Maps_and_Keys#S.S._Huntington_IV|craft]] and travel to the [[S.S. Huntington IV]].

===[[Adventure Book]]===
Hunters can complete the final step to [[Craft the S.S. Huntington IV]] by catching a [[Hydra Mouse]] in the [[Lagoon]] to obtain the [[Ship Blueprints]] and craft the [[S.S. Huntington IV]].

===[[Library Assignments]]===
*[[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]] - This assignment may require capturing the [[M400]] in the [[Lagoon]].
*[[Zurreal Trap Research Assignment]] - This assignment requires Hunters to collect 1 [[Desert Travel Almanac]] from a [[Centaur Mouse]] in the [[Great Gnarled Tree]] or [[Lagoon]].

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

===[[Treasure Map]]s===
Many mice in the [[Lagoon]] are often found on [[Whisker Woods Treasure Map]]s and [[Relic Hunter Treasure Maps]]. 

===Hunting tips by [[Larry]]===
The waters of the Lagoon look dangerous! I hope you can swim!

You will find yourself having trouble attracting mice to your trap here, unless you use '''Gnarled cheese'''. If you need more Gnarled cheese, head back to the Great Gnarled Tree to collect potions from the mice there. Or, if you want to attract the really valuable mice here, you might want to make some '''Wicked Gnarly Cheese'''. MouseHunters pursuing this cheese might benefit from consulting a certain Curious Chemist at the Great Gnarled Tree about ingredients.

Dwelling in the water is the fearsome Hydra mouse. The Hydra originates from the Ocean to the East, where it is known for being the cause of many shipwrecks. For this reason, the Hydra is known for dropping many nautical items. If you are equipped with a Hydro or Tactical trap, try hunting the Hydra. You may just discover the mysteries of the ocean in the process.
