Non Player Character (NPC)

Non Player Characters (NPCs) are non-playable Super Animals that populate Super Animal World, and serve to develop the lore and story behind Super Animal Royale. Some of these NPCs exist in game while others are characters that feature only in side content, such as Super Animal Royale Tonight. 
The characters that exist in game can be found by players, and talked to, or interacted with. Usually, these characters are linked to a Super Milestone that players can get upon completing a certain task for them. They are always found in the same location, and cannot be killed or harmed. Some NPCs that appear in game are unique, and serve a certain purpose, such as the Giant Eagle, which transports players to the battlefield during the start of each match, and the Delivery Mole, which delivers Mole Crates that contain high tier loot to the fighting Super Animals.
Super Animal Royale Tonight also includes a number of NPCs, such as the intrepid reporters, Joe Cluck, Howl Michaels, and Donk Patrick. These characters do not appear in game, and serve only to develop the lore and story of Super Animal World.
