==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
Save Ronza's airship from dragons and their minions</div>
+
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
  
 +
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.
  
==== Ronza has arrived and she's under attack! ====
+
{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em; text-align: center"
Ronza has landed in Gnawnia but she picked up more than just turbulence on her way in. She is currently under attack by an Ice Dragon and its minions!

 +

The onslaught began when she was still airborne and the ensuing struggle caused all of Ronza's Chrome Bits to fall overboard, scattering throughout the Kingdom.

Ronza will be grateful for any Chrome Bits that can be recovered and, as usual, has a bounty of rewards she can bestow upon the hunters who return them to her.

==== Here be dragons! ====
+
==== Uncork Festive Spirit ====
 +
When all the warm and fuzzy feelings from the holiday season are condensed and coalesced by a crisp north wind it produces this truly miraculous vapour that is believed to be the physical manifestation of joy itself.
  
This new Ice Dragon seems to be targeting something more than just Chrome Bits!
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">Double Compressed Cinnamon anytime a mouse drops it!
  
This year, Ronza has brought some brand new hunting supplies for the MouseHunters of Gnawnia in an attempt to give them an advantage against the latest upcoming threat from the Mythweaver.
+
+1 progress to all active forges in the Golem Workshop!
  
The dragon must have gotten wind of her plan and attempted to steal the supplies before they could be distributed to the MouseHunters.
+
+1 shield damage when '''any''' cannon is fired (for a possible max of four)
  
==== Frosty fiends abound ====
+
Conjures 1 Throwable Snowball each and every hunt!
  
This terrifying Ice Dragon and its minions are attacking Ronza's ship right now and it seems that the only thing that can distract them from their plundering is the icy cool taste of Abominable Asiago.
+
Double loot drops of a wide variety of festive-themed items at the Taiga!</div>
  
Travel to Ronza's airship, arm a Hydro trap, and hunt with this cheese to take down these icy invaders.
+
You can obtain Festive Spirit by hunting with standard cheese, completing Naughty Maps, opening doors on your Advent Calendar, and by purchasing it from the Premium Shop.
  
If you don't have any Abominable Asiago, you can earn it right now at Ronza's ship by hunting with Rockforth cheese. The Rockforth mice seem to be dropping loads of it!

Ronza's intel informs us that the Mythweaver's latest scheme involves dragons in an as of yet undiscovered location known as the '''Draconic Depths'''!
 
  
According to Ronza, the dragons down there are far more powerful than their kin on the surface so Dragonbane Charms will be an essential ingredient for success in that dismal place.

The Great Winter Hunt Returns!

9 December 2025

Start sending golems to collect loot

The Frost King's Latest Attack

The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.

To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC

Stuck Snowball Sundays

Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.

Animated Snow Storm

During the 48 hour storm, all mice in the taiga will drop Animated Snow with the Snowflake, Glazy, and Joy mice dropping the most.

Grand Gift Opening Ceremony

Players can leave gifts under profile trees up until the ceremony on December 18. Once the ceremony is held, gifts can be opened but no longer sent.

New Year's Celebration

Keep an eye out for an update on December 30 at approximately 4:00pm UTC to start the New Year's celebration! There will be a map to complete and new rewards to earn!
