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.

## In game NPCs

Non Player Characters that appear in game that players are able to interact with, serve some sort of purpose to the Mechanics of the game or provide unique cosmetic services to players such as Cackling Carl's Cart.

### Cackling Carl

A Super Purple Hyena who is the owner and proprietor of the rotating Cackling Carl's Cart. Together with their Giant Emu Old Doug, they sell exclusive items to players using an in game currency called  **Carl's Coins**. Players acquire Carl Coins by playing matches, surviving for as long as possible in games, and winning. Cackling Carl, and Old Doug are both members of the Super Animal Super Rebellion (SASR) Cackling Carl is portrayed to have a very zany personality, with an extra bounce to their step. Cackling Carl's glass eye and outfit is not acquirable by the player at this time. Carl's Cart rotates every 2 days, and featured items rotates every 7 days. Cackling Carl makes their debut in Super Animal Royale Tonight in Season 2, Episode 1.

### Cheese Goudara (Prison Rat)

A Super Rat imprisoned by Rebellion forces for crimes unknown at this time. Players are able to find this NPC located in the S.A.S.R.'s prison in the eastern side of Superite Mountain. The rat paces back and forth around their cell, exclaiming and insisting that they are "not a rat" to players. Players are not able to interact with this NPC like they can with Dr. Jennifer Dogna, however they are able to kill the rat using any Guns or Throwables in the game (except for the  Banana.) When the Super Skunk Gas approaches, the rat suffocates from it, and does not survive. According to SART S02E05, Goudara is revived by  Super Beaver if they are killed during the Animal Royales. This NPC is involved in a Super Milestone for players to acquire an exclusive milestone item! The Prison rat also made their debut on Super Animal Royale Tonight Season 1, Episode 4, where they were killed by an unknown animal.

### Delivery Mole

*Main article: Delivery Mole*

Delivery Moles are Super Moles that are tasked to appear twice per battle at random locations throughout the island during an Animal Royale to deliver Mole Crates to the fighting animals. These mole crates contain high tier loot that are the only source of Legendary weapons during a Royale, and are the only source for weapons such as the  Minigun. When the mole appears on the map, all players that are alive will receive a notification on their map to know where the mole has spawned. Once the mole has spawned, they will appear and seconds later, burrow underground for a few seconds then leave a mole crate behind for players to get. The outfit and hat worn by the moles is acquirable by players in the season 4 animal pass. However, the Mole breed is not available for players in the Research Lab and thus players cannot play as a Super Mole.

Delivery Moles appear to be exempt from participating in the Royale, as they are employees of Super Animal World. They live in underground bunkers, where they have a complex society including schools, workplaces and homes, as shown in SART S02E06 A Mole Lotta Trouble. The work of the Delivery Moles involves filling the Mole Crates with loot, sending the crates through "QA", and finally delivering the crates by tossing them into the air during the Royale.

Twinkle is a Delivery Mole who was "born" oversized.

### Dr. Jennifer Dogna

A Super Golden Lab researcher and scientist. Dr. Dogna researches, and creates new Breeds of Super Animals. Players can find Dr. Dogna in the pre-game lobby, and interact with them for some interesting dialogue regarding The First Skullcat. Once the match begins, if players are able to find Dr. Dogna in their secret lab, they can speak to them to complete a story-related Super Milestone and earn an  Outfit. As the one of two NPC's you can talk to in game, Dr. Dogna cannot be killed by the player. When the Super Skunk Gas approaches, Dr. Dogna will pull out a gas mask to protect themselves from the gas. Players are not able to acquire Dr. Dogna's glasses or the gas mask that they wear right now. Dr. Dogna debuted in Super Animal Royale Tonight Season 2, Episode 1.  Dogna's Dart Gun and  Dogna's Dartfly Gun are attributed to Dr. Jennifer Dogna. Doctor Jennifer Dogna spends the entirety of matches in the Lab Lab.

*Main article: Banan (lore)*

A mysterious Super Raven which is some kind of deity to the Super Animals, and is the center of attention of an animal cult. A statue in Superite Mountain seemingly portraying Banan reveals that their appearance is of a  Super Raven. In a mountain in the north-eastern corner of Super Animal World is the Banana Altar, dedicated to Banan. Banan appears to have deity-like powers; when an offering of a  Banana is made at the Altar, the entire floor of the cave will be filled with bananas. Sometimes, a rare weather event, the Banan Rain, might even occur. A painting of Banan granting life to a Super Raven is permanently displayed in the Super Museum Of Modern Art.

Out of world, the Banan character and animal cult was created through community humor. Raven, a community member, started praising  Bananas on the official Super Animal Royale Discord. At that time, the developers were looking into adding a cult of animals into the game. The Banan joke fitted what they had in mind, and thus the Banan character became canonical.
