Halloween?

Hi, I don't play multiplayer much but yesterday I was trying to set up a territory to surprise my younger brother so we can play together. It's part of a bigger Christmas surprise. So I decided to etch out our territory in Amethyst (multiplayer) so it'll be set when I show it to him. But as I went to Summit Cairn I noticed a human skeleton sitting up against it with a computer in it's lap. The computer had an upside down wolfquest logo saying there was an error or something. It's pretty cool but I'm worried it'll bother my brother. Is this a Halloween only type thing? Is there more like this stuff and for other holidays?

Hi solar-mutt,

Yes, there are an assortment of seasonal props activated at some point
in October for Halloween and another lot will likely appear in December over the Christmas period across all available game worlds. The majority of them can be found in Lost River; they're pretty scarce in Amethyst Mountain and Slough Creek.

There's no schedule to denote if and when they'll appear or disappear, but they'll likely be deactivated during the first week of November.

I think I know which decor you're talking about— I don't think it's seasonal since I've seen many players posing with it via Steam screenshots. If a skeleton playing WolfQuest bothers your brother, consider that there is actual gore in the game and your wolf can kill baby animals, the pups can die, there is a mule deer skeleton, wolf skull, and the wolves make distressing whimpers when being attacked by stranger wolves! Also, the map is pretty big so it's hard to stumble across the skeleton by accident. Your wolf will spawn far away from it.

The Summit Cairn human skeleton with the laptop is a Halloween decoration — at least, it's the oldest seasonal prop in WQ:AE. It was absent last week when I went to screenshot it for the Wiki and appears to have only returned at some point earlier this week. I missed previous years' Halloween events, but I've definitely seen many mentions and screenshots across platforms. Steam screenshots of it from most popular (all time) have publish dates during October.

The only non-seasonal, all-year-round skeletal props are the
elk skeleton and wolf skull.

I didn't know that, it seems like the human skeleton prop is everywhere on Steam. I kinda want to search for it but I'm wondering if it's still there.

I have seen a human skeleton sitting in a Port-o-potty reading a book on wolves, I think it was in Amethyst Mtn. I took a SS that I will upload later
