“Thank you very much for all your help,” Hector started, softly. “I’m really sorry for all the problems with the escaped dinos! I’m really glad all my dear dinos are back and safe.”

“But, oh my, we have a small problem here,” he continued. “One of those dinos isn’t mine!”

“I’m not really a dino, actually,” the not-dino laughed. “My name is Mushy, I’m a Fainara. Some fantele was really eager for me to enter the petting zoo.”

“I have heard of Fainaras! I can lend some texts about them, for anyone interested,” Hector interjected.

“I’m here to stay, and I brought a few friends. Perhaps you could give them a home?” Mushy showed a bunch of green sparkling mushrooms.

To bring a Fainara home, go to the event shop and buy for 0 points one!

Do you want more Fainaras? You can also offer on a Fainara in this sales post!

Everyone seems to be recieving a mysterious(and rather sparkly) invitation to the re-opened dino island amusement parks, will your fantele friends accept the invite? 

These free tickets can be bought for free(1 per person) in the Event Shop and myo and trait purchases with usd will be half off during this event!

"Here we are, the beautiful Dino Island!" Nebula said, motioning to the place they landed on. "I'm not sure what a dino is but this is one of my favorite islands!"

"A dino is short for dinosaur," Maria answered fast, being met with an even more confused look from Nebula. "Dinos are like dragons but without wings, you know? Some can be big, some small, some even have big necks. I showed some drawings of dinos to you, Nebby."

"Ohh, from your mythical creatures book, I remember it!" Nebula nodded. "So, guys, that's a dino. Learning something new everyday!"

"Welcome to Dino Island!" an old fantele said, a big smile on his face. "Ready to have the most amazing experience of your lives?"
