Goose

seed current version v0.1

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

Legend

The goose is named alongside the dog, groundhog, and squirrel in charter §8's fenced animal list — no mechanic, no role, deliberately unbuilt.

Suburb

A goose, the kind that chases you off a lawn before you've done anything to it.

Current draft

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

Why this possibility exists

Charter §8 fences the whole animal list together without differentiating mechanics; the goose's real-world reputation for aggression is the only reason to ask the neutral-hazard question, and the charter doesn't answer it.

Still unresolved

  • Any mechanic at all — none is named for the goose specifically.
  • Whether it's hostile to players, a hazard, or purely scenery.
  • Whether it belongs to the map or to a specific yard.
