Congrats @Pbarr!! šŸ˜ƒ Too bad no one will really be able to get the name. ;<; User who has it has been inactive for 6 years. šŸ˜‹

boop • 16 Feb 2018, 12:02 AM

OH WOW I JUST GOT A LAN!!!

prairie • 16 Feb 2018, 12:05 AM

IDK if anyone else is having this problem, but Lan image isn't sowing up for me in creatures coves when I click it? šŸ˜‹ Same if I view them on the Missing Creature page. :/

immortalraven • 16 Feb 2018, 12:07 AM

Cool x3 What's the Lan supposed to be again. [I'm half Chinese and tis sad I don't know but yeah >.>] Is it dog related since this year is year of the dog? x3 Since last year was rooster and last year's critter went with the animal that year was

@immortalraven you're half chinese! šŸ˜ƒ i never knew, that's so cool! (i'm chinese haha) @wigglytuff THERES A CREATURE CALLED THE LAN IM DEAD LOLLOLOL

animalinn • 16 Feb 2018, 12:10 AM

@prairie I'm having the same exact issue! So it's not your computer or anything.

icymuffin • 16 Feb 2018, 12:10 AM

@immortalraven Design-wise, it's a lion, based on the ones used in the Lion Dance. Could easily be whatever in Ark lore o^o

boop • 16 Feb 2018, 12:13 AM

@immortalraven lol i'm chinese (half hong kong half taiwanese) @prairie I have the same problem :/

immortalraven • 16 Feb 2018, 12:14 AM

@icesparkle22 Yup, my dad is Chinese. He moved to America with his family when he was only 8 x3 /side note/ My brother is his favorite cause he's a boy... He'd never admit it but I can see it o3o He's my mama's favorite too. First son of the first son kinda stuff >.>

immortalraven • 16 Feb 2018, 12:20 AM

@icymuffin Ah, mmk so not going by the year it is then. Good maybe next year I'll get an ox x'D [my sign] Prob not though especially since the next time it is isn't til 2021. I really want one critter for each sign though >.< [but not by the year, maybe event] That'd be cool x3

immortalraven • 16 Feb 2018, 12:25 AM

@icymuffin Yeah, I'd have liked a dog since my boyfriend's sign is that [When I was younger I was very into Chinese zodiac and astrological ones and all that stuff] Lol I'm an ox and a Taurus x'D

aedia • 16 Feb 2018, 12:27 AM

Wow, I really love the Lan, such a cool looking creature! I hope that I'm able to find some!! šŸ˜Š

wigglytuff • 16 Feb 2018, 12:29 AM

@icesparkle22 WHAT NUUUUU (None of any other peeps will understand xD ) OMG WUT I mean I like it but still... xD (I totally like the creature but the name is just....)

icesparkle22 • 16 Feb 2018, 12:38 AM

@wigglytuff now i cant stop imagining the Lan swimming lol @immortalraven that's really cool! my parents moved from china when they were adults, but i'm american, it sometimes bugs them to see me be so "un-chinese" haha

veritaspunk • 16 Feb 2018, 12:50 AM

Why do I keep thinking about a Laniwon hehe ... @immortalraven I'm an Ox and Virgo ... like with them all some apply to me, some don't.

wigglytuff • 16 Feb 2018, 12:57 AM

@icesparkle22 LANNNNN Lan are very fast swimmers due to their relationship with Lan. THEY SHOULD ADD THAT TO DE DESCRIPTION šŸ˜ˆ

aedia • 16 Feb 2018, 1:09 AM

@prairie I see the creature fine in the blog and the archives, but then the one that I adopted has a broken image for some reason, so I think I'm having the same problem?

cosmia • 16 Feb 2018, 2:58 AM

Yay! You brought last year's back! ā¤ļø

nexu • 16 Feb 2018, 3:29 AM

the LAN is so cute ā¤ļø

icedmagma • 16 Feb 2018, 8:22 AM

ā¤ļøā¤ļø my husband is Chinese, year of the dog, you can bet I'm going to get my hands on as many of these as possible!

ethereality • 16 Feb 2018, 9:29 AM

But, the Lan is a lion, right? My parents are from Hong Kong so I should know o.o But yes happy lunar new year everybody and wonderful art ECT!! šŸ˜ƒā¤ļø

aedia • 16 Feb 2018, 9:50 AM

The Lan's image is still showing up broken in the adopted one that I have and other people's. I see the image fine in the blog, just not in the adopted creatures. Anyone else?

wigglytuff • 16 Feb 2018, 11:17 AM

@ethereality you're Chinese too?šŸ˜± o.o I never knew that xD

Meteoroid • 16 Feb 2018, 11:55 AM

They're more akin to lions with the heart of a puppy. From what I understand, it's kind of a mixture of references to both the zodiac (year of the dog) and traditional celebratory costumes for the Lunar New Year. So... everyone is right!

Meteoroid • 16 Feb 2018, 11:56 AM

All I know is that the Lan looks grand. Happy Lunar New Year!

idol • 16 Feb 2018, 12:33 PM

That is such a cute idea ^^ would love to have a few. Year of the dog right here. ^^

ethereality • 16 Feb 2018, 12:46 PM

@wigglytuff Well, kinda, if you consider Hong Kong part of China (its a S.A.R.)

wigglytuff • 16 Feb 2018, 1:15 PM

@ethereality yeah i guesss šŸ˜‹

stefrawr • 16 Feb 2018, 2:48 PM

gvantsa • 16 Feb 2018, 5:02 PM

My Lan's image is broken too. When will this issue be fixed?

_piano_pokemon_ • 16 Feb 2018, 6:48 PM

_piano_pokemon_ • 16 Feb 2018, 6:56 PM

toplel • 16 Feb 2018, 7:21 PM

scorch_cloud222 • 16 Feb 2018, 7:36 PM

_piano_pokemon_ • 16 Feb 2018, 7:59 PM

iris1929578 • 16 Feb 2018, 8:35 PM

Cool! Iā€™m Chinese so Iā€™m very happy šŸ˜Š and the Shengxiao is back, Iā€™m even happier šŸ˜ƒ

mrsgiggles • 17 Feb 2018, 1:03 AM

I just fed 50 creatures without a single chocolate box popping up. Another glitch?

novrain62 • 17 Feb 2018, 10:23 AM
