a Small Chest?
a Small Chest?
In the past, if you died on April 1st Gerald Gigglegibber, the Herald of Bristlebane, just might have shown up to help with your little problem... or not. The hope was that "Bristly Bane" loved us!

Special Chests

Treasure chests that drop on April 1st will have a special Bristlebane Day touch to their appearance!
