Hunting tips by Larry

Brr, it's cold! But don't let the icy chill stop you, hunter!

New and dangerous mice are flooding the shores of Gnawnia, and we need you to help out! The mice seem to be particularly vulnerable to Hydro-based traps, so pull yours out of storage and put it to use.

If you don't have a Hydro trap, or don't feel yours is up to snuff, check the Trapsmith! The King's best trap researchers have been at work preparing for this invasion.

History and Trivia

• 14 May 2012: The Icebreaker, Saboteur, Snow Sniper and Yeti mice are added to the Slushy Shoreline.

• 14-24 May 2012: All mice in the Slushy Shoreline dropped Interlocking Hull Fragments during the upgrade of the S.S. Huntington II to the S.S. Huntington III.
• For the first two weeks of the location's release, the following text was originally in place of the current, last paragraph of "Hunting Tips by Larry":

Further, some of the less-common mice have raided the King's private hunting supply. Gold, SUPER|brie+, and King's Credits have been found in the War Supplies they are carrying, and they can be yours if you track down those mice!
The King's scouts have counted a week's worth of War Supplies, so get out there and catch these mice while there is still time.
