Find it in the Cave during the next two weeks.

sad I hadn't gotten the name. I'm the Bull/Ox 😸

cosmia • 28 Jan 2017, 12:25 AM

@immortalraven Same here if you go by the lunar calendar. If you go by the solar, though, I am the tiger.

immortalraven • 28 Jan 2017, 12:25 AM

I just saw it being seasonal. It doesn't make sense it is seasonal when the Chinese zodiac changes with years. Now if they came back in the

poptarts • 28 Jan 2017, 12:25 AM

So does that mean eggcave will begin making Zodiac creatures for specific years now? X3

immortalraven • 28 Jan 2017, 12:26 AM

next time it was supposed to be Rooster and then the other years correspond and come back on the years they correspond too then THAT

Year of the rooster here. I love it. So pretty.

immortalraven • 28 Jan 2017, 12:27 AM

would make more sense / be cooler but that's just my opinion xD

ushafuse • 28 Jan 2017, 12:27 AM

It's finally my year! Must get this.

immortalraven • 28 Jan 2017, 12:28 AM

@cosmia It's funny because my Astrological sign is Taurus so I'm double stubborn cause my Chinese zodiac too xD

icesparkle22 • 28 Jan 2017, 12:29 AM

*eats anyways

cosmia • 28 Jan 2017, 12:31 AM

@immortalraven That's cool though, for both of your signs to be bovine. 😸

tikimaki • 28 Jan 2017, 12:32 AM

"Shengxiao" - When Egg Cave needs to make a creature name sounds Asian...

Meteoroid • 28 Jan 2017, 12:36 AM

@tikimaki It is literally the romanized spelling of the Chinese zodiac, albeit without the special characters.

tikimaki • 28 Jan 2017, 12:37 AM

@Meteoriod Oh right! Yeah I thought it looked like pinyin 😋

dragrawr • 28 Jan 2017, 12:43 AM

I got a rooster, yay!

ambivalent • 28 Jan 2017, 12:50 AM

Holy moly so pretty! Has there been other chinese zodiac creatures on egg cave? Or is this the first?

asbe • 28 Jan 2017, 12:50 AM

That's one great rooster ^^

firedawn • 28 Jan 2017, 12:51 AM

Thank you for recognising CNY. 😊

Meteoroid • 28 Jan 2017, 12:52 AM

@ambivalent This would be the first time. 😊 As for its seasonal status, I have inquired about it to Ian. Hang in there, folks.

immortalraven • 28 Jan 2017, 12:58 AM

Poo, I didn't get one >.< Oh well, hopefully later today or I can trade for one.

lbowe_elbow • 28 Jan 2017, 1:05 AM

Seasonal doesn't make sense if it's going to be out every year? Maybe I'm missing something haha

mairbear • 28 Jan 2017, 1:09 AM

@Meteoroid Oh thank you! ❤️ It would totally grate on my nerves each subsequent year if this thing kept coming back. It's gorgeous but..no

Meteoroid • 28 Jan 2017, 1:14 AM

@mairbear That's understandable. I realize how users might not like the rooster standing in for every zodiac animal and prefer variety.

rileytibbles • 28 Jan 2017, 1:17 AM

This is so pretty! o.o I love the first stage!!!

cosmia • 28 Jan 2017, 1:21 AM

@Meteoroid ....I would not mind it being seasonal. *-*

Meteoroid • 28 Jan 2017, 1:22 AM

@cosmia Haha, neither would I! We'll figure something out, I suppose.

cosmia • 28 Jan 2017, 1:25 AM

@Meteoroid Hope so. 😸

ladybugheart • 28 Jan 2017, 1:27 AM

Love the new creature, although "Lunar New Year" might be more fitting to include the other Asian countries that celebrate it. 😊

novrain62 • 28 Jan 2017, 1:40 AM

ahahahaha I love it! Year of the Rooster ❤️ I suggested this just two days ago in the forums. Thank you for the Rooster!

novrain62 • 28 Jan 2017, 1:42 AM

Ps. It should not be Seasonal, unless it's Year of the Rooster again. Next Chinese New Year is a different animal. Happy Chinese New Year!

petpet55 • 28 Jan 2017, 1:44 AM

Artwork is absolutely gorgeous. Huge kudos to the artist, I love all the little intricate details. ❤️

metaphor • 28 Jan 2017, 1:52 AM

AHHHHH I NEED EVERY STAGE

novrain62 • 28 Jan 2017, 1:55 AM

I need every stage, too. So beautiful, indeed!

shadowy_overseer • 28 Jan 2017, 1:56 AM

As an asian, no words can describe how happy this makes me. HAPPY CNY EVERYONE!

iceiceice • 28 Jan 2017, 2:14 AM

Lovely animal. Excited that Chinese New Years is celebrated. However, I must admit, the name and availability is really odd to me.

333 • 28 Jan 2017, 3:11 AM

Hey, that's cool! 😃

333 • 28 Jan 2017, 3:11 AM

Hey! It's in the Cave! Yes! (I only just noticed that. 😋)

leafmelody • 28 Jan 2017, 3:22 AM

Oh my gosh I need one *O*

noah • 28 Jan 2017, 3:25 AM

Got one on my second try! Awesome art!

raitonchidori • 28 Jan 2017, 3:28 AM

It should've been the 2017 creature. And CSP, in my opinion...

shirona • 28 Jan 2017, 3:46 AM

My Chinese zodiac! Hopefully I can get one today lol Agree that it should be retired afterwards and a different zodiac released next year.

sybil_howlett • 28 Jan 2017, 4:04 AM

@immortalraven you have two weeks to find one, don't worry 😊

immortalraven • 28 Jan 2017, 4:07 AM

@sybil_howlett I know. I just like getting critters on their release date / special dates. It's also Chinese new year so I wanted one from

immortalraven • 28 Jan 2017, 4:07 AM

today especially xD

sybil_howlett • 28 Jan 2017, 4:17 AM

@immortalraven I got two from the cave, do you want one of them?

silverserpent • 28 Jan 2017, 5:47 AM

Ooooooh, this is so pretty! Need to find one! 😃

dafni • 28 Jan 2017, 5:50 AM

So cave gave me 2 spirit, 2 magic and 2 water dragons, plus one rooster... Perfect!

silverserpent • 28 Jan 2017, 5:52 AM

@dafni The Cave just gave me 1 rooster, 2 space and 1 air. It's a lot nicer than I'm used to! xD

dafni • 28 Jan 2017, 5:55 AM

@silverserpent sadly it's the last day, from tomorrow it will be cruel again u.u

silverserpent • 28 Jan 2017, 5:58 AM

@dafni Yes, but my cove is swimming in dragons by now and I haven't even been _that_ lucky. I think it's good. x)
