Garlic

**Garlic** is a long-furred golden cat with a flattened muzzle and green eyes. They are a resident of the player's colony in Cattails: Wildwood Story.

The bundle to recruit Garlic requires two Lizards, three Toads, and two 2-star or higher Licorice. Their bundle is not available until three cats have already been recruited.

## Personality

Garlic tends to come off as mellow, but has a difficult time adjusting to and accepting change. They have a generally negative view of both themself and the world. They enjoy sleeping in.

## Den

"This is Garlic's den. They sure would be upset if you wandered in uninvited. Maybe if you become more acquainted things will change. / The interior is pretty basic, but beyond the entryway it's too dark to see anything. The air is filled with the pleasant petrichor of damp stone."

## Buddy System

Starting at 3-star friendship, Garlic can join the player to hunt, forage, mine, and explore using the Buddy System.

## Events

Though many cats experience both regular and rival marriage events, **Garlic** is not seen in any of the latter.

 **"Sadness" Event** | If the player has 3 stars with **Garlic** and visits the Beachside Woods at night, this event may trigger.

Alabaster will stumble across **Garlic**, asking to join them. The two share their mutual feelings of being overwhelmed and troubled, with **Garlic** feeling surprised that cats other than themselves could be sad.
 **"Volcanic Experiment" Event** | If the player has met both **Garlic** and Krampy and visits the Volcanic Basin outside of winter, this event may trigger.

**Garlic** is on a field trip with **Krampy** to try and help them with their experiments. They take note of the lava in surprise. **Krampy** urges them to move closer to it, exasperatedly asking if the other has never heated a beaker of chemicals over an active volcano before. Flustered, **Garlic** leaves, wishing **Krampy** well.

* "You must be really bored if you're talking to me." ***(Two Stars)***

 **Marriage** | * "Oh, I'm very overwhelmed... Why do I have to do everything myself?? I'm no good at fixing things." ***(Zero Rings)***
* "Hey, I'm not good at adjusting to new situations! Give me some time to settle in. I know you'll understand, (Name)." ***(One Ring)***
* "Sorry I complain so much. I'm glad to have you in my life. I always feel better about stuff after I get everything off my chest." ***(Two Rings)***

**General**

**Gifts**

**Misc.**

 **Buddy** | * "Oh, am I in trouble? Wait, no, I didn't do anything so that can't be it. / You really think I can help? Well, I'll certainly try my best, ok?" ***(Buddy Up)***
* "Phew, adventuring is harder than it looks! But I'll get it figured out. I promise!" ***(Current Buddy)***
* "I feel like I learned something today while we were adventuring. / You're a good pal, (Name). It's nice to have a buddy to hang out with." ***(Dismissed)***
 **Marriage** | * "Is this when I talk? I didn't catch what you said, I was thinking about something else. / I'm guessing it is! Then... uhh... I do? I think that's what I'm supposed to say, right? / I knew I should have practiced more..." ***(Vows)***
* "Well that was embarrassing! I got so distracted looking at you, (Name). It's like time stopped for a minute there. Sorry about that. / But hey, I guess we're officially married now, right? That's the important thing. I'm so excited to call you mine!" ***(Spouse)***
* "There's so much to think about at a wedding like this, but I decided to push all of those thoughts to the side and just focus on us. / We're like, officially married! That's wild! I love you, (Name)." ***(Spouse, after ceremony)***
 **Unique Dialogues** | * "Hey, have you talked to Glimmer recently? Last time I walked by they were murmuring something under their breath about the end of the world. / That's scary, right? Do you think they meant... our world??" ***(Player has met Glimmer)***
* "I know that everybody has their own opinion about Krampy, but that cat is alright by me. / They're one of the only cats who will listen to me complain for an hour without running away. / I know I can be a bit much but Krampy never interrupts or makes fun of me. They deserve a promotion or something, I don't know." ***(Player has met Krampy)***
* "I take a lot of naps. I even write them down in my calendar so I won't forget to lay down for a couple minutes. It helps me to stay focused and alert. / On days like today when there's so much pollen going around I even like to start my naps early and end them late. There's less pollen floating around inside. / Achoo! Excuse me." ***(2+ Rings)***
* "Whatsit? Huh? Did I oversleep again? / Awww shoot. Now I'm going to have to go hunt on an empty stomache. Why do I always do this to myself?" ***(Garlic's Den, 8-10 PM)***
* "It's always weird seeing the festival plaza empty like this. No games, no prizes, no special decor... / I like coming here on days like today because it's nice and quiet." ***(Festival Plaza)***

**Weather and Time**

**Festivals**

 **Spring** | * "I don't know how Coco does it. Organizing every festival and every event... must be tiring. / There's no way I could keep that many flowers alive until the big day." ***(Normal)***
* "Hey, don't let me get in your way! If you want to go play in the games or something, you know where to find me. I'll be right here. / And don't you even think about dragging me along!" ***(Dating)***
 **Summer** | * "Is it just me or is it getting colder? Maybe I'm being paranoid. / Krampy told me that on cold days you're more likely to catch the flu! I don't want to get sick." ***(Normal)***
* "These festivals are great because they keep everybody in (colony title) happy. Even I enjoy them, and I'm not the happiest cat around. / I wouldn't have admitted that to just any cat, but I figured since we're dating I can let you in on my secrets." ***(Dating)***
 **Autumn** | * "The moon sure is bright tonight, isn't it? Is that some sort of sign from Forest Guardian? / I figure if any cat would know it would be you. Or Coco. Maybe I'll ask Coco since you obviously don't seem to know." ***(Normal)***
* "You hear those crows up on the cliffs? Nasty creatures. I don't like them alive and I don't like them dead. I was attacked by a crow once when I was a child. / If I were in charge around here I'd chop down all those trees up there so that they had nowhere to roost. It's like they're mocking us." ***(Dating)***
 **Winter** | * "Shoot, I really wanted to buy something tasty with my festival tokens this year, but I'm one token short! / Guess I'll go hungry 'til I get home. Pretty sure I have a Lizard laying around the den somewhere..." ***(Normal)***
* "Oh, are my cheeks rosy? It's the cold air. Yeah, definitely the chill. Nothing to do with you." ***(Dating)***
* "Hey, (Name), if you want a different partner for the games, I get it. I'm not the best at snowball fights. / But I'll try my best if you pick me for your team! I can't promise much but I'll be there." ***(Married)***

## Trivia

* They are the only cat with a flattened muzzle.
* They state they have poor eyesight.
* Garlic was at one point attacked by crows as a child.
* They mention having collected seashells at a young age. Their parents had them throw out the collection eventually as the seashells were not properly cleaned, causing a smell.
* Garlic cares a lot about everything, but they're afraid cats will use it against them, so they act like they don't care.
