This mouse is determined to ring in the New Year with a bang. After attending all of the parties it could find, it has emerged with someone else's oversized shirt, a tie that should be outlawed, and sixty pounds of fireworks which have been outlawed in most cities. The New Year's mouse intends to put on a light show so amazing that it lights up the sky for the rest of the year-- the only problem is that it hasn't really thought about how it's going to get off the ground.
Mouse ID#: 141


The New Years Mouse is a breed of mouse found in the Festive Comet area. In the Great Winter Hunt 2010 (leading up to 2011), they were known to drop King's Reserve Bubbleh and Satchel of Gold, worth 2,011 gold, as loot. In the Great Winter Hunt 2011 (leading up to 2012), they were known to drop Firecracker Charms and regional gifts such as the Gnawnia Winter Gift.

Preferred Cheese

In 2010, New Years mice have no specific preference for any kind of cheese. However, there are some reports that hunters were successful catching this mouse after switching to SUPER|brie+ cheese. In 2011, New Years mice have been found especially attracted to Festive Feta cheese, to the point that any other kind of cheese will simply not suffice.

History and Trivia

  • New Years mice were released on 30 December 2009 for the first time and were found in Ronza's Traveling Shoppe during The Great Winter Hunt '09 event where they managed to intercept the shipment of rockets and firecrackers.
  • Due to a typographical error, this mouse was originally released as the "New Year's Mouse Mouse." This was later corrected to New Year's Mouse, which was changed to its current form with the release of MouseHunt Version 3.0.
  • On 30 December 2010, New Years Mice were re-released into the Festive Comet during the Great Winter Hunt 2010, with the image updated to have the firecracker state 2011.
  • It was revealed During the Feedback Friday on 31 December 2010 that the Bubbleh loot drop was extremely low; only an approximate 6,000 New Years Mice had the loot item.
  • On 30 December 2011, New Years Mice were re-released across the kingdom during the Great Winter Hunt 2011, but the image remained unchanged with the firecracker still stating 2011.
