This event is highly focused on exploring.
The explore encounters exclusive to this month can be found in all biomes.
Your lion's karma and level, as well as the biome you explore in, do not matter for this event.

In August, the community is working to unlock two separate bars, which reveal two different areas on the site.
The more humans we kill in Explore, the faster the exclusive August studs are unlocked.
The more Dry Bones we collect in Explore, the faster we will unlock The Peddler.

There are also two separate shops that will unlock depending on how many Evil or Good actions you do in Explore: The Destroyers (Evil) and The Preservers (Good). These shops are unlocked by your actions only.

The Destroyers is unlocked by earning a total of 300 Evil Points, while The Preservers is unlocked by earning a total of 300 Good Points. You can only have one shop open at one time, but it is possible to open both shops multiple times on one account. If you go below the threshold for either shop, your access will be restricted until you reach 300 Evil or Good Points again, respectively.

This month's currencies are Carrion Beetles and Dry Bones.
Carrion Beetles and Dry Bones can both be gained in Explore. Some encounters will award more Carrion Beetles than Dry Bones, and vice versa. You can also earn Carrion Beetles and Dry Bones by playing Fire Escape.

For the entire month of August, there will only be a dry season *. You will not see any rain or any hint of wet season until August ends.

* If you are on the Journey to Vredefort Crater quest and you need to access the Flood Pit, it will be manually opened from 12am Lioden time to 11:59pm Lioden time on August 14th and August 28th.

Thirst-Quenching Items  

August's event unlocks a temporary Thirst bar, which displays with your lion's energy, hunger, experience, and impression. Thirst only affects your pride leader, not your pride members.
Your lion's Thirst will drop at a rate of 5% every 30 minutes. It can also randomly drop from certain event encounters. Luckily, you can raise it through certain event encounters, as well as consume water items that are dropped year-round.

African Cucumber

-5% Thirst

Aloe Leaf

-5% Thirst

Stripped Cacti

-15% Thirst

Water Root

-100% Thirst

Your lion will not die if they reach 100% Thirst. Reaching 100% Thirst just means that you will be unable to fight NPCs in Explore. If you attempt to fight an NPC in Explore while at 100% Thirst, you will receive the following error message.

Failed Hunts  

August is a scorching month, and your lionesses really feel its effects. Prey is also more difficult to come across due to the lack of available water. The herds are smart—they're migrating to find water elsewhere!

Because of this, your lionesses have a higher chance of failing to bring back anything whilst hunting.

Fire Escape  

Fire Escape is an endless runner-type minigame that is exclusively available during August's event. Within Fire Escape, you play a male lion that is desperately trying to, well, escape the fire that is burning his entire home to the ground. There are obstacles that you need to avoid, Carrion Beetles to collect, and as you earn points and progress through the game, the lion runs faster and faster!

You can submit your score once per day to earn up to a maximum of 200 Carrion Beetles and 100 Dry Bones per day—if you play Fire Escape each day and hit the maximum score every time, that's roughly an additional 6,000 Carrion Beetles and 3,000 Dry Bones for you to spend! Score sending for Fire Escape resets at midnight (12am) Lioden time, not at rollover (2:05am).

To find out more information on Fire Escape, check out the Fire Escape section of the Event Games page!

Hover over the icons in the upper right corner to see whether an encounter is available during daytime, nighttime, wet season, or dry season. If on mobile, you can tap the icons for the same effect.

Lured by the sound of water, you travel down a slope to find a river. Eventually you find it, but... It's so polluted that you just cannot find a clear spot to drink from.

Something smells good. You move closer to the burned carcass, investigating its condition. It's certainly not a scent and taste you're used to for meat. It's so... crispy and sweet!

When the sun is low on the horizon, a glistening shine on the surface of the water makes it easy to be noticed. You approach this man-made waterhole cautiously, taking in the obvious scent of danger, observing the surroundings before you dare to drink.

-100% Thirst	+1 Golden Water

You hide behind some rather big boulders and observe humans engaging in odd activities with an object. After catching a familiar scent, you realise this object is releasing water into their pouches! It sure looks fresh and cold, so unlike the stagnant, animal-trampled water you've been drinking. Do you dare risk it...?
Action	Result	Reward
Crawl closer	You fake a weak noise and crawl close to the humans, your head hanging low. Some of them tense up and aim their weapons at you, but another part of the group fills a big bowl, places it near you, and slowly backs off. You creep up to the bowl and drink the amazing, crystal clear water contained within. So refreshing! These humans are nice - they even took some pictures of you!	-100% Thirst +10% Energy +2 Good Points
	You lower your head and slowly crawl out from behind the boulders, intending to plead for some water. The humans seem to be very frightened! You must have really surprised them, or perhaps you just aren't that good at pretending to be weak. The humans shout at you and make threatening gestures with their weapons. Huff! Fine. You tell yourself that maybe these humans had some bad experiences with other lions. While you're backing away, you step into something.	+1 Dry Bone +1 Carrion Beetle
Growl	You walk out, growling and roaring! The humans shout and gesture, but they quickly step back and hide behind some machines. You aren't completely alone, though you feel safe enough to approach the well and drink out of their partially-filled bowls. The water tastes amazing! It's crystal clear and very cold. Like the big cat you are, you sniff all around the well, paw at their items, and break some things, until you find some scattered trash. Score! Time to leave!	+2 Dry Bones -30% Thirst +1 Evil Point

You notice a group of humans doing something to unconscious cheetahs.
Action	Result	Reward

Ambush	You prowl in the bush only to jump at them and kill as many as you can, including the cheetah!

As of 2018, when The Peddler has been unlocked, you will receive the "Bone Collector" title as well as the "Bone Collector" achievement the first time you visit this page. You can only unlock the title and achievement once per account.

Vulture Chase  

The vultures are circling overhead, looking as though they're ready to land and feast on some poor creature who is struggling to survive the heat. Maybe you could send one of your adolescents to practice their hunting skills?

For a fee of 5 Dry Bones, you can send your adolescent females out to Vulture Chase, a small extension of The Peddler. Each adolescent can chase vultures once per rollover, and each chasing session will last 60 minutes. You can only send out one adolescent per session, so prioritise which one you want to send out first!

At the end of the session, your chosen adolescent will earn 50 Experience and 2 to 5 random stats.

Tracking Herds  

Some of the vultures that your adolescents were chasing have come to you. In your brilliance, you decide it would be a good idea to use them to keep track of the herd migrations near your pride, and gather other useful information.

For a fee of 50 Dry Bones, your pride leader can track herds to receive Experience once per rollover! The Experience that they receive is equal to (LVL x 30). A level 5 lion would earn 150 Experience, while a level 20 lion would receive 600 Experience.

Savage Males (also referred to as "August Studs", "Maneater Studs", and "Savage Studs") are unlocked by a community effort to kill as many humans as possible in Explore.

Savage Males are male NPCs that you can stud your lionesses to for a fee of 200 Dry Bones or 600 Carrion Beetles per one stud. They are not player-owned, so no need to wait for them to accept your stud request! The main purpose of the Savage Male area is to release new, exclusive bases, mane shapes, and markings that can only be passed down from breeding to a Savage Male. It is important to remember that breeding to a Savage Male does not guarantee that offspring will inherit the stud's base, mane shape, and/or markings.

You also cannot use breeding items on Savage Males. They are not owned by other players and operate simply as NPCs, so there is no way to send any male breeding items to a Savage Male. This includes Grains of Paradise and Buffalo Scrotums. There is a workaround with cub guarantee items; however, it requires you to own a Double Uterus lioness. You can use a cub guarantee item on your stud, breed to your Double Uterus, then breed her to a Savage Male. This will overwrite half of her cubs' genetics with the Savage Male's genetics.

At 2:05am Lioden time, the available stud will switch out and cycle to the next one that is lined up. Once the last unique stud has been displayed, it will cycle back around to the first stud released and loop through them until August ends.

You can breed any of your lionesses with any of the studs, provided she is in heat, she is Very Low (1%) fertility or higher, she is between the ages of 2 years to 14 years, and you have enough currency to cover the cost.

As of 2018, when the Savage Males area has been unlocked, you will receive the "Maneater" title as well as the "Maneater" achievement the first time you visit this page. You can only unlock the title and achievement once per account.
