Rare Jambassador Plushies + Feral Guesses + Phantom Night

Hey Jammers! Forgot to post on the Thursday update, but Jamaa is all spooky now!!!

Phantoms, Jack-o-Lanterns, and the eerie dark night that blankets Jamaa Township every October, leaving all the Jammers in a spooky fog for the duration of this very spooky season...

And like every Night of the Phantoms, there's candy!

And even better– bat facts!!!

Difficult commented in my last post that he thought these might be new facts. At first I thought they might just be reused from last year, but maybe they ARE new! I'm glad they're writing the sources in the bottom corners now, too.

But who could forget one of the main events of the Night of the Phantoms? It is during this holiday that the veil between our world and the phantom world is the thinnest, giving those of us brave enough a chance to sneak a peek inside...

Come one, come all, to the Phantom Vortex! Home to what arguably is Jamaa's most stressful game:

Can you keep your sanity as you desperately try to defend your precious sweets by the light of a single, shivering torch? Can you hold onto hope when inevitably, the darkness will swoop in and steal your candy before you even get the chance to reach the last level?

So you don't have to find out for yourself, I decided to play to see what this year's spooky prize is:

Aaaand, after completing level 5, you get a Chained Zombie Door! 

Fits perfectly in a Small House den :D

Originally, I think you had to complete up to 10 levels to get the prize, but they've been making it easier so now it only takes 5 levels.

However... finishing the game is the hard part. Last year, the prize was won so easily, that I had a theory that completely finishing the game 100% gave you a different prize, because defending your candy is so stressful that I'm sure most people would drop the game once they get their prize.

I never tested this theory, because I never ended up beating the game fully... but last year, I figured out that there are at least 13 levels. How far does the Vortex game go? What if it just went on forever because no one could be expected to play beyond level 5 XD 
Now THAT would be spooky

Moving on from spooky things... here's a new thing I learned:

These aren't edits, they're real items that came out maybe only a week ago!!!

According to the AJ Wiki, each plushie (with the exception of the chocolate4froggy one, I'll get into that soon) is very very VERY rare. They can only be acquired through a unique code given out by each Jambassador, and each can only give out a plushie code 100 times. Basically, a maximum of 100 of each plushie can exist, which is a very small number. 

Chocolate4froggy's plushie, on the other hand, can be won randomly in the Flamingo Claw without limit! So don't go over-trading for one without knowledge or you may regret it. 

I'm not too familiar with Jambassadors, but I'm really happy Snowyclaw got a plushie too, even though she doesn't make much content anymore– though she DOES maintain the Animal Jam Archives, which is an awesome resource, and who could forget the wonderful impact the Animal Jam Spirit blog had when it was active?

This plushie series is giving me ideas for Jammer plushie edits... like what would DoomyPanda look like as a plushie? Probably pretty basic because I don't wear cool items lol

Before I go, I wanna leave you with a thought I had earlier:

So over the years, there have been a couple leaks and unreleased items that seem "too violent" for AJ– mostly the above images. The image to the left was thought to be a potential weapons inventory for adventures, and the image to the right was an unreleased item that was turned into a display of flowers for obvious reasons. 

Fer.al is going to be rated 13+. Maybe it will be an outlet for some of the """edgier""" ideas AJHQ has had over the years that just aren't right for Animal Jam. Just a little, kinda obvious thought 

Alright Jammers, see you in Jamaa!!!!!!!
