The Derr Tribe

The Mice of Derr Dunes
The red garments hide the effects of the harsh wastelands where these brave mice reside. Which is good for the queasy hunter that uses a strong (or lucky) physical trap to hunt these down. Gouda for most, otherwise Crunchy.

The Nerg Tribe

The mice of Nerg Plains
These mice love the color green and clothe themselves in garments largely in this shade. Of course, this also makes them blend in with their terrain, so you'd need your best Tactical traps to grab them.

Basic ones are attracted to Gouda and the stronger ones require the Gumbo Cheese.

MousehuntGuide Toolbar Updates - Aug 09

Hey fans,
Tidied up the mousehuntguide toolbar just a little.

Added the Tribal Cheeses and the first three craftable traps there.
I've also included Sean D'Hoostelaere's new site for his Guide to Mousehunt - I really like his writing style.. Go check it out there..

And gamers of PackRat will notice that they can flip over to that customized toolbar by clicking on the (+) on the left of the Mousehuntguide toolbar. Yes yes, there's also a MythMongerGuide toolbar there which is still very much a work-in-progress stage (sorry about that)..

Do let me know if I can add anymore stuff to the toolbar to make it a faster way to the games and favorite areas.

The Elub Tribe

The Mice of Elub Shore.

Also known as the Blue Tribe, they are susceptible to the Hydro Traps. No surprise that their garments are tinted blue. I think it's from all those seashells..

Attracted by the Shell Cheese only, dropping the Blue Pepper Seeds
Champion	Elder Mouse At Cape Clawed, Drops the Ancient Spear	Elub Chieftain Drops the Ancient Frayed Blueprint	Protector

Attracted by the Gouda and Shell Cheese, these drop Shells

ok ok .. the large images for them a little later..

RHINOBOT:

1 x RhinoBot blueprints - buy at Cape Clawed General Store

1 x Rhino horn - collected from Aged mouse in Cape Clawed using Crunchy cheese

24 x Stale SB - collect from SB+ gone stale (a good way to get stale SB is to arm your ACRO with the explosive base and SB and sit in the Meditation Chamber ;)

1 x Drillbot parts - smash your Digby Drillbot with your crafting hammer

Description:

4750 power

Power Type: Physical

Power Bonus: n/a

Attraction Bonus: n/a

Luck: 6

Cheese Effect: Very Stale

Stale SUPER|brie+ has been found to be a harder substance than that of diamond, a property that the mighty RhinoBot puts to good use. Describing the power of this massive instrument of mouse destruction is simple: whatever it hits, it destroys.

[Rant]

Powerfullest physical trap in the mousehunt game so far.. :)

And I don't own one yet.. :(

Thanks Al, for the pix and the tip about the Partybot still being a better trap (I wonder if the 27Aug tweak by the developers have made it better?)

[Latest Rant]
Ooooo... the Chillbot is sweeeet.. Looks like I don't have to sweat over getting this one so soon.

Farming Stale Super Brie

Hail the RhinoBot. Unfortunately, one of the ingredients for this powerful physical trap is the Stale Super Brie.

Given that Super Brie costs a lot of gold (or real money, if you donated), the whole idea of making them stale is bound to be an emotional experience for some..

For the more stoic hunters, they might actually find it hard to make Super Brie stale. That's because Super Brie cheeses are the well, creme la creme - the best attracting cheese for most mice, and the hardest to turn stale.

Well, except for these two locations: 

Forbidden Grove and Acolyte Realms

Arm yourself with the Acronym and a stale effect base like the Explosive or the Aqua. Toss the Super Brie on it and watch it go grey-stale before your very eyes.

Be warned - do NOT leave your SB+ stash on the trap overnight - You literally harvest a Stale Super Brie with every blow of the Hunter's Horn. You only need 24 pieces for the RhinoBot, so it's going to be painful to overdo this.

Crafting Item - Rhino Horn

ITEM: Rhino Horn

LOCATION: Dropped by Aged mouse in Cape Clawed (use Crunchy cheese to attract)

DESCRIPTION: Coveted by members of the Derr tribe, this incredibly sharp horn stands as a symbol of intimidation and strength.

ITEM: Ancient Spear

LOCATION: Dropped by Elder mouse in Cape Clawed (use Shell cheese to attract)
