Rabid Raccoon

Lake Freezberg is home to the dangerous Rabid Raccoon...

The Rabid Raccoon sporadically visits wranglers fishing in the Lake Freezberg region. When it approaches, you will see the following message:

"The Rabid Raccoon is near by..."
"What do you want to do?"

You are given 4 options:

1. Stay calm and don't move.
2. Take off and run.
3. Offer it my next few catches. (depends on the Rabid Raccoon's hunger)
4. Shoot with the Love Dart/Poison Dart! (works best with a level 66+ pole)

Outcomes

Wranglers can gain or lose gold and goodness/evilness points depending on the option chosen, pole level and chance. Examples of possible outcomes for choosing each option are provided below:

Option 1: stay still

• Yes! The rabid raccoon left me alone! Gained 1,785 gold and 344 evilness/goodness from the Rabid Raccoon!
• No! The rabid raccoon noticed me! It took 3,650 gold and 348 evilness/goodness from me.

Option 2: run away

• Yes! I lost the rabid raccoon! Gained 2,386 gold and 459 evilness/goodness from the Rabid Raccoon!
• No! I couldn't escape the rabid raccoon's quickness. It took 1,485 gold and 287 evilness/goodness from me. (You will be sent back to San Digloo)

Option 3: offer catches

• Yes! The Rabid Raccoon was just testing me and isn't hungry!
• Yes! The Rabid Raccoon appreciated my kind gesture and decided not to take my next catch because I'm such a classy wrangler!

Note: The Rabid Raccoon will take your next 1-3 catches (excluding crew and captain trips). You will not receive points, gold, or goodness/evilness for these catches. You will receive quest credit for catching a fish if otherwise applicable. The Flying Penguin or Polar Bear will accept catches on behalf of the Rabid Raccoon if you travel away.

While the Rabid Raccoon is awaiting your next catch, you will see messages such as:

• “*Thinks about robbing banks instead of waiting for fish...*”
