Fridge Brilliance
- The reason there are no predators at all in the Alpaca Highlands mists? That's where Paprika lives. She would have shared her love with all of them by now.
- Mature longma have manes of fire- an element which can be either comforting or terrifying depending on context. Sounds like the two sides of their heritage, doesn't it?
- The ice sprites look after reindeer and carter to their every need. In other words, they fawn over them.
- Fred and Oleander robbing Arizona is an in-universe explanation for how the player can have the same cosmetics throughout the game's story mode. And since Arizona's chapter as a playable character is finished, the player doesn't need to "get back" any of the items; we won't be using those cosmetics for that specific character anymore so the whole thing is not a problem. This explanation doesn't work for Velvet, though, who's the second playable protagonist immediately after. But since she's rich, this could be (lazily) handwaved by saying that she coincidentally already had those same items on her to begin with.
- Oleander and Cashmere, that is if you take the shipteasing moments seriously, at first seems like a forced pairing that makes no sense; Oleander doesn't really pass as the type to have affection for any ungulate. However, most other creatures we've seen her interact with so far either shunned her (like her clan did for 13 years) or fight her. Cashmere not only does neither of these things, but openly flirts with her. It's conceivable that because of all this Oleander might have a soft spot for one of the few ungulates who's not antagonistic to her. Admittedly, this one might be contradicted as the story goes on.
Fridge Horror
- The living conditions inside The Hold, when one considers that the Predators, for generations, have been forced to subsist off one another in a desolate land of darkness for generations. Is it any wonder they want to escape?
- And what if it's the exact opposite? If they don't need to eat each other...or breathe...or feel...it wouldn't be any surprise if they're royally pissed at the herbivores for this.
- Arizona, one of the fighters, is a child. Not only are the adult fighters going to whale on her like any other opponent without mercy, but if she wins, she'll have to face the Devourer. Alone.
- The fact that, unless something drastic happened to the world of Foenum that allowed the Predators and herbivores to live in peace, this will keep on happening: a new Key Keeper will be elected to seal away the beasts...but not to reform them, but simply to keep them at bay. And seeing as they're already able to slightly escape from their prison already, then one day they may return regardless...for good.
- The horror behind the idea that the characters are fighting to maintain a status quo in which predator species are hugely deficient is a massive case of this for everyone who didn't fail ecology. Many prey species adapt to predation by birthing huge numbers of young, and now the inhabitants of Foenum have no predators and are experiencing the boosts in child survival and lifespan that come from civilized living. This world will likely soon face mass overcrowding, resources shortages and constant plagues.
- Try explaining to that to the race of sentient prey. They might adopt different tactics.
- Lauren had answered that the races know this well enough that they don't overpopulate.
- From what we've seen so far of the NPCs, Foenum thankfully doesn't have too bad of a population problem (if anything, the regions appear to be underpopulated). However...
- The existence of Honored Mother who is a dragon implies that other mythical animals may have also existed in the past alongside the ordinary ones. The problem is that majority of them are predators. As if the prey animals don't need any more reason to keep The Hold closed...
- It was stated, that only predators who hunt sapient prey were exiled; those who didn't weren't affected.
