Arrival Dates For Available Creatures?

fenbug • 6 September 2023 at 12:32 AM

I'm making a spreadsheet for personal use, and part of it is including the day that each creature made its debut. However, I noticed that many available creatures don't have the day they came out, or even a tag for what year they came out. Is there any way to see when creatures that are always available came out?

Hi there! If you compile a list of creatures that are missing the date, I can help you out by listing the day the creature came out 😊

Here's most of the creatures that are missing their year and/or day. I say most because I might have missed a few, because as far as I can tell the Retired and Endangered creatures are all fine, but there could be exceptions.

The fan site eggcavity (https://eggcavity.com/indexes/creatures) has most (if not all) of the creature release dates. They also have an option to sort all creatures from oldest released to newest, and vice versa. I'd recommend looking there 😊

If you go digging through the old Site Blog posts you could possibly find a lot of the info. For example:
- The Calla and Terron are both mentioned in the second Site Blog dated July 22, 2009, in a way that makes them sound original.
- The Yeep is "pictured" on the July 29, 2009, again like it was there at the sites opening.

In saying that.....
The Bivalentine was released February 14, 2023, as this years "brand-new Chocotravaganza Exchange creature prize". https://eggcave.com/blog/valentines-day-2023-chocotravaganza-exchange-is-back?page=1 It was available until the end of Feb, and will most likely be available next year during the same event.

The Candacade was released October 01, 2022 as last years Halloween Fair Prize creature. Again, it is seasonal, and will most likely be available through the same event this October. (Can't be bothered finding the blog link, or the day the shop closed in early November). The Luxu was the new prize for 2020, and the Snerris for 2019, and they have been available each October through the shop. This may be the Snerris' last year, or that may have been last year. I've lost track, so unless someone else has count, we will have to wait until the prize shop opens/announcements are made for this year.
