The Forest
Forests cover about a third of Earth's land. In the northern forests of Europe and North America, the seasons shape everything: animals fatten up in autumn, then hibernate, store food or ride out the cold.
The Forest world winds from hedgerows and meadow edges into deep woods, where the biggest resident is waiting.
In the game: trails one to ten on the forest map bring four creatures and an elite, the Grizzly Bear, then all five again in costume. The boss, the Moose, waits at the end.
