It is really weird indeed... I filmed a video but I am not sure I can post it here. When playing you cannot see far from the corner of the farm, so this snake creature can't be seen that way. But when you take a screenshot from the game options, it zooms out a bit and that way I am able to see what is on top of the tree. It also is weird that it only activates the ice rod, but not the magic quiver. It truly is a mystery.

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. :smile:

Update to add a screenshot of the whole layout of my farm, so you can see the ice rod can't possibly be targeting anything inside the farm.
This situation is happening on the top left corner of the farm, right next to Grandpa's shrine. The ice rod is shooting at a tree outside.
It has seen better days, I have lots of decoration to do, so please don't judge lol.
