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.
