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