Dog

seed current version v0.1

A fenced-off speculative animal with no mechanic, role, or design attached yet.

Legend

The dog is one of five animals charter §8 names and fences off in the same breath — carried forward from v6 unchanged, still wanted someday, still not designed.

Suburb

A dog, somebody's, unleashed.

Current draft

A fenced-off speculative animal with no mechanic, role, or design attached yet.

Why this possibility exists

Charter §8's optional-scope-creep note names the dog alongside four other animals and states plainly that the fence "held through all of Stage 0" and should be respected "the same way through Stage 1." Nothing beyond the name exists.

Still unresolved

  • Any mechanic at all — none is named for the dog specifically.
  • Whether it's a companion to a kid or an independent map element.
  • Whether it fights, distracts, or is purely scenery.
