Hello, everyone!
I'm brand new to this forum and I have come here to ask something because I have not found information anywhere else, so... Here I go:
I was on the top left corner of my farm collecting battery packs as I have lightning rods there. I stood still for a moment and noticed that my ice rod started shooting towards something on top of a tree located outside the farm. This made me really curious, as the ice rod has never attacked anything on my farm before other than slimes (that are placed inside the slime hutch) and the ocasional truffle crab (my pigs are on the opposite side and also it's Winter so they are inside the barn - I've gathered everything in that area, so there are no truffles on the ground).
I have done some more research by trying out other "aggresive" trinkets. Magic Quiver and the Frog Egg do not react at it at all; it's just the Ice Rod. Upon inspecting a bit more what exactly is being targeted, you can clearly see the animation of the Ice Rod shoot impacting something and the ice shards appearing and disappearing between shoots. What is being shot on top of the tree seems to be some kind of snake (?!), but I was not able to find any information about this.
My farm is the standard one. I'm on Winter, Year 12. Monsters are not enabled on any capacity and I do not use any mods. I will attach some pictures of this, to better illustrate what I am talking about. Look at the top left corner:
Here's the "snake" before being impacted by the ice orb:
And here it is after being impacted (with the freeze animation):
Here are zoomed-in versions side-by-side:
This is kind of exciting but also creepy? Finding things I don't know about the game even after putting more than 900 hours into it makes me really happy.
If any of you can solve this mystery, have any ideas of what it may be or maybe testing it in your own farms, I would greatly appreciate you telling me.
