Groundhog — v0.1
seed seed revision
A fenced-off speculative animal with no mechanic, role, or design attached yet.
Legend
The groundhog is named in charter §8's fenced animal list, alongside the possum, dog, goose, and squirrel — no mechanic, no role, deliberately unbuilt.
Suburb
A groundhog, seen once, then gone down a hole.
Current draft
A fenced-off speculative animal with no mechanic, role, or design attached yet.
Why this possibility exists
Charter §8 names the groundhog with no further description. Its real-world behavior (digging, hiding underground) is the only hook toward a design idea, and the charter doesn't take that idea any further.
Still unresolved
- Any mechanic at all — none is named for the groundhog specifically.
- Whether a burrow becomes terrain independent of the animal.
- Whether it's playable at all.
Featured question
Could a groundhog's burrow become a map feature — a hole kids can use — independent of the animal ever being playable?
Evidence
- Charter v8 §8, the roster repo-citation
