December and advent is upon us, has anybody got any Christmas COB or agent ideas they'd like to share? :)

A christmas tree which grows Toy Crhistmas balls which break when they are hit, and fly in the air when pushed or pulled. :)

Oh, and they grow in the nornterrarium in C3 and in the meso in DS. :)

Hey that's a pretty cool idea.

I think a mistletoe agent would be fun. Hold it above a pair of Norns and they become friendly and urged to kiss each other. :)

And Egg Nog for the older creatures! XD

egg nog is tasty. Although I think you mean alchoholic egg nog.

In my nerd cave, nobody can hear you scream.

Christmas isn't the same without alcohol! ;)

Aww, I can just imagine two Norns kissing under the mistletoe, that'd be really cute to watch. :P

A Humbug sweet COB would be cool, for the Scrooges in Albia who don't like Christmas. When a creature eats it, it could make them say "Bah, humbug!".

I've got an Advent idea. I don't know if it would be possible, but a wreath that lights one candle each "week" in Creatures would be nice.

A fireplace and stockings that have male or female specific toys inside would be pretty cute too!

A toy present that when played with unfolds and reveals a toy. Would autokill over time and come from a vender shaped like a Christmas tree on a mecanecal stand made of vending equipment. Other then that every idea I have read here is quite good as well.

Maybe a music box that plays Christmas-related music, for example, the tune of Jingle Bell Rock or Carol of the Bells or something like that :D

That's a really neat idea Yamishi. :) Wouldn't it be cool if we could add different Christmas tunes to it - I remember something similar was possible in the 'Petz' games, you could add new tunes (midi/wav files?) to the musical box.

I think a sleigh bells toy would be nice too - when a Norn touches it, you'd hear the ambient sound of bells.

I would so download all these ideas if they were actually made into COBs. :D

for petz (at least petz 3 and 5)
the music box used wav files XD
me should know,have the games ;P

but yes a music box would be adoreable,i love music boxes ^^

on my metaroom doodle,i had a musicbox agent idea XD
*not X-mas themed* but it just reminded me of that lol

hmm...xmas ideas...
maybe something like that agent (i think it was demenchild's agent..not sure) x-mas santa hat,
but probely some other xmas inspired ones or even more ranging in colors...dunno just come to mind XD c3/ds is afterall like CA/CP X3

another idea,could be the c2's santa's little helper doozer,that if clicked could also gives some random neat gifts * as well do it's normal thing,teach vocabulary

and now another crazy idea came to mind...magical gingerbread men,walks around in hope to not getting eaten X3

and some kind of hanging lamp decoration that when clicked on,
make glitter dust falling down to the ground *wich of course vanish after a time* probely making creatures happy..

or a agent that injects one single seed,wich you plant where you like,and when it's fully grown,there's a second agent,when injected,it scatter
various decorations you can put on the fullygrown x-mas tree,wich you can attach to it by your'self as wanted,
kinda styling your'e own xmas tree
XD

another thing could be a magical pet reeinder,with red nose (of course XD ) and since its magical,
it comes from a x-mas styled egg,
where a tiny baby reindeer hatches from,wich you can feed (or at least have any various food near,carrots,cheese etc),let it play with toy's and as time goes it mature, and your'e creature can interactive with it too *kinda a combenation of the cat cob from c1
and darcie clements awesome stuff and a bit of the c2 ice/freezegun) This reindeer,when hit,it start to blow ice,wich makes a ice cube surrounded the norns *as well injecting chems that calm down the norn..or any creature who hitted it..making the most outraged creature to calm XD
(it will tawn after a while,this art is all like the freezegun from c2)
when pulled or pushed,it's nose blinks and it give off a dust,
that proves magical xmas food
*probely golden turkey,golden pudding etc* as well sometime,
may offer a present *a toy,er probely something uniq,i think it up XD *
if it's happy enough
*well fed and have enough toy to play with* but if neglected,it will die and turn to magical dust..
another idea could be to make it breed,and when it creates eggs,it gets a random colored *for both the egg and reindeer,kinda like darcie clement's dragons,i just adore stuff with rainbow tinting and specialy critters :3 *

lol i just gotta draw this for fun ^^'
i know this ideas sound crazy,but at least something i probely enjoy XD

Edit: where did all people go,did I scare em away with something I said O.o'

This would actually be pretty easy to code- but I'm terrible at spriting.

Laura's Humbug idea would be similarly straightforward given a sprite for them (and a vendor sprite?)

I'd like a Christmas lunch agent - some leafy salad, a roast something-or-other, and a fruity dessert to go with the Christmas pudding.

I forgot to mention that the Humbug COB was also AS's idea too. :) Just the 'Bah, humbug!' part was mine. He didn't fancy making it though, "sounds a lot like work" he said. Heehee.

Feral Christmas Stockings

On the planet of the Holidays, wild stockings roam the cold pine-tree forests up north. There they seek out berries and treesap, often living together with their mate until one of them gets lost behind a rogue chest of drawers.

Once each year, on the longest night, all stockings head for the firehearth mountain. They climb to the top, and hang themselves from the mistletoe vines deep into the glowing crater, warmed by the red-hot lava.

When morning arrives, various young creatures head for firehearth mountain. Each of them will pull up a mistletoe vine, for they know all about the amazing thing that happens to the stockings during the longest night.
Each stocking will have laid hundreds of colourful, sugary eggs, every single one wrapped in a protective membrane.
Creatures who pull up the vines too late will be sad to only find coals in their stocking.

While everyone feasts on these delicious eggs, many of them will tumble down the hills of firehearth mountain, where they hatch into new stockings, matching up in pairs, heading off into the world.

...
So yeah, a stocking 'critter' that eats fruit and fills itself with candy would be awesome.

The raindeer and the stocking are the best ideas yet.

Norngirl, a humbug is a hard sweet, and it also means 'nonsense!' or 'rubbish!'. The reason why we're going on about it is that Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is about a mean old so-and-so who hates everything and thinks Christmas is 'humbug', and how he learns the error of his ways... ;)

I love the sinister stockings idea, AquaShee! :D

Sam, it's the tenth of December. It would be very difficult to make something Christmas-themed in time for the holiday, even if one had thought of it back in October. :( Please just enjoy the purity there is in dreaming of pie in the sky. ;) (But feel free to work on ideas to release yourself ;) )

As it's the season to go swimming and one generally likes to swim in clean ponds, I suggest a Creepy Crawly agent - it would scan the Norn Terrarium, Ettin Terrarium, and Grendel Terrarium ponds regularly and throw all the detritus from these ponds back up onto land in their respective terraria, where the detritivores can eat it. :)
