  | colspan="2" align="center" style="font-size:110%; padding:10px;" | Named by the tribes, this dangerous jungle is home to some of the most terrifying mice ever discovered. Long ago the leaders of the tribes discovered a spicy cheese made with peppers capable of distracting the mighty beasts of the jungle. This peppered bait may be the key to luring these mice to a trap...

==Overview==
The [[Jungle of Dread]] is a location in the [[Tribal Isles]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Hero]] and the [[Ocean Navigation Kit]] to enter.<br/>
Mice in this location may steal points or gold, but not multiple pieces of cheese, if not captured.

'''Hunters who are washed out of [[Balack's Cove]] by the High Tide will be moved to the [[Jungle of Dread]].'''

===Hunting with [[Havarti Cheese]]===
Hunters must acquire [[Pepper Seed]]s from the mice in the [[Derr Dunes]], [[Elub Shore]], and [[Nerg Plains]] in order to craft the [[Havarti Cheese]]s required to catch most mice in the [[Jungle of Dread]].<br/>
Hunting with [[Havarti Cheese]]s will reward Hunters with items necessary for crafting the [[Ancient Box Trap]]. Mice will also drop [[Fire Salt]], which is required for crafting the [[Inferno Havarti Cheese]] necessary for attracting mice in [[Dracano]].

===Hunting with other cheeses===
Hunting in the [[Jungle of Dread]] with [[Gouda Cheese]] or {{SB}} allows Hunters to attract the [[Pygmy Wrangler]] and [[Swarm of Pygmy Mice]] which drop [[Vanilla Bean]]s used in crafting [[Vanilla Stilton]] and [[Vengeful Vanilla Stilton]] required to attract the mice found in [[Balack's Cove]].<br>

===Ocean Navigation Kit===
The {{MHinfo|ocean_navigation_map_piece|Ocean Navigation Kit}} grants hunters access to the [[Tribal Isles]] region. It can be crafted using the following formula:

== Jungle of Dread Mice -- [[Havarti Cheese]]s ==
The mice found in the [[Jungle of Dread]] when Hunters arm one of the 6 [[Havarti Cheese]]s are weak only to [[Shadow]] weapons.

===Cheese Preference and Loot===
Each of these mice requires a different [[Havarti Cheese]] to be attracted to the Hunter's trap..

== Jungle of Dread Mice - Other Cheeses ==
Hunters will need to acquire [[Vanilla Bean]]s in order to craft [[Vanilla Stilton]] and [[Vengeful Vanilla Stilton]] for use in [[Balack's Cove]]<br/>
Because Hunters who are '''washed out''' of [[Balack's Cove]] by the '''High Tide''' are moved to the [[Jungle of Dread]], these mice will be attracted to the two '''Stilton''' cheeses.

===Cheese Preference and Loot===
[[Standard Cheese]] (except [[Gouda Cheese]] and {{SB}}) attracts only the [[Sylvan Mouse]], which is primarily weak to [[Tactical]] weapons, though several other [[Power Type]]s are also effective.<br/>
[[Gouda Cheese]] will attract the [[Sylvan Mouse]], [[Pygmy Wrangler Mouse]] and [[Swarm of Pygmy Mice]]. The latter two mice are weak to [[Shadow]] weapons.<br/>
{{SB}}, [[Vanilla Stilton Cheese]] and [[Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese]] will attract the [[Pygmy Wrangler Mouse]] and [[Swarm of Pygmy Mice]], but the usage of the latter two cheeses is discouraged since both require [[Vanilla Bean]]s to craft.

===Mice with Special Requirements===
*[[M400]] – This mouse will sometimes be available in the [[Jungle of Dread]] 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 ==
Hunters will need a [[Shadow]] weapon to hunt in the [[Jungle of Dread]].

===Preparing to Hunt in [[Dracano]]===
Hunters must acquire [[Pepper Seed]]s from the mice in the [[Derr Dunes]], [[Elub Shore]], and [[Nerg Plains]] in order to craft the [[Havarti Cheese]]s required to catch most mice in the [[Jungle of Dread]].<br/>
Hunting with [[Havarti Cheese]]s will reward Hunters with items necessary for crafting the [[Ancient Box Trap]]. Mice will also drop [[Fire Salt]], which is required for crafting the [[Inferno Havarti Cheese]] necessary for attracting mice in [[Dracano]].

===Preparing to Hunt in [[Balack's Cove]]===
Hunting in the [[Jungle of Dread]] with [[Gouda Cheese]] or {{SB}} allows Hunters to attract the [[Pygmy Wrangler]] and [[Swarm of Pygmy Mice]] which drop [[Vanilla Bean]]s used in crafting [[Vanilla Stilton]] and [[Vengeful Vanilla Stilton]] required to attract the mice found in [[Balack's Cove]].<br>
'''Hunters who are washed out of [[Balack's Cove]] by the High Tide will be moved to the [[Jungle of Dread]].'''

===Location-Specific Effects===
====Traps====
* The [[Dreaded Totem Trap]] is a '''limited edition''' [[Shadow]] trap that adds 8,500 power while in [[Jungle of Dread]].
* The [[Cackle Lantern Trap]] is a '''limited edition''' [[Shadow]] trap that occasionally increases [[Fire Salt]] drops when hunting in the [[Jungle of Dread]]. The effect stacks with the effect of [[Cackle Charm]]s.
====Charms====
* The [[Cackle Charm]] increases the drop rate of [[Fire Salt]] when hunting in the Jungle of Dread.  The effect stacks with the effect of the [[Cackle Lantern Trap]].
* The [[Dreaded Charm]] provides a 300% power bonus when used in the Jungle of Dread.

===[[Adventure Book]]===
Hunters can [[Defeat the Dreaded Horde]] by catching each of [[The Dreaded Horde]] mice in the [[Jungle of Dread]].

Hunters can complete steps to [[Slay the Dragon Mouse]] by gathering [[Fire Salt]] in the [[Jungle of Dread]].

Hunters can complete steps to [[Defeat Balack the Banished]] by gathering [[Vanilla Bean]]s in the [[Jungle of Dread]].

===[[Library Assignments]]===
*[[M400 Bait Research Assignment]] - This assignment may require Hunters to track down specific items from [[Jungle of Dread]] mice in order to complete it.
*[[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]] -  This assignment may require collecting 1 [[Piece of M400 Intel]] from mice in the [[Jungle of Dread]] and/or capture the [[M400]].
*[[Zurreal Trap Research Assignment]] - This assignment requires Hunters to collect 3 [[Runestone]]s from the [[Stonework Warrior Mouse]] in the [[Jungle of Dread]].

===[[Tournaments]]===
[[Jungle of Dread]] mice are worth points during some [[Tournaments]].

Mice in the [[Jungle of Dread]] are often found on [[Tribal Isles Treasure Map]]s, [[Tribal and Shelder Treasure Map]]s, and [[Relic Hunter Treasure Maps]].

===Hunting tips by [[Larry]]===
My knowledge of this area is woefully inadequate, due to my total knee-knocking fear of entering here. Maybe when you learn some things about this area, you can give me some tips. How does that sound?
