I figured that a good way to kick off this blog would be talking about the first physical offering I've made to Snaktooth, commemorating the release of the game on November 12th. Nothing dramatic but it felt fulfilling and warm to do.

I also lit a lavender gelato scented candle and made some homemade chocolate sauce (recipe forthcoming) to use here and offered whatever sauces I could, and substitutes for anything I didn't have:

Homemade chocolate sauce

Ketchup

Tabasco hot sauce

Ranch

A pinch of parmesan (for cheese sauce)

Ground almond (for peanut butter)

And settled down to play the game, of course. The remainder of the chocolate sauce was eaten with marshmallows during all this - eating at least some of the offering didn't just feel acceptable, but encouraged by Snaktooth.

The whole snaktooth crew, in an experimental style.

It's a popular headcanon that they communicate via pheromones, but I think that this has more canon support (though I believe this is by no means their only communication method - I think they may communicate through pheromones too). Here's my evidence, running roughly from least to most compelling:

Most bugsnax sing while idling, even ones without especially musical-sounding voices.

Wiggle's singing and banjo playing attracts the megamaki, and possibly enrages it too.

The island becomes actively hostile after a party featuring loud music.

"I ahh.. I began this little blog as a sort of recording of my newest 'adventure'! Now, I bet you're wondering what this adventure could even BE, and lucky for you, I am fully ready to explain!"

"I'm sure you've heard of the famous Lizbert Megafig expedition! Welllll, look who got a letter PERSONALLY mailed to them about it?~ This grump~"

"To Budtholomew Fuzzyglow,

I bet this is probably a rather odd letter to get, but I swear it is important!

I have begun a new, exciting adventure! I'm sure you've heard of the mystery of Snaktooth Island, haven't you? I'm sure everyone has. But, no grump has gone and come back to tell the story!

Well, I plan on changing that! I, aswell as plenty of grumps like you, are venturing to the island to discover its amazing secrets!

Now, you're probably wondering what this has to do with you. Well, simply put, I want you to join us! I've read your work, and I think you're just the Journalist for the job!

I look forward to hearing back from you!

"So yeah, I guess I'm a pretty big deal!~ Anyways, there was a tape attached, just showing some parts of the island, aswell as some of the other expedition members!(Some of which, note to self, look extremely familiar for some reason??)"

"So, I'm gonna be askin' my boss about it tomorrow! Y'know, see if I can get some time off to go, n' such!!"
