Journal Entry
When we first came to the island, the wild Weasachi were seen as pests. The feeling of a cool autumn's breeze now became a terrifying warning signal. Wild Weasachi could knock down or breakthrough most storage units. And a single scratch from their scythes could paralyze a human for a day or two. Our people were starving and crippled during the plagues of Weasachi.

Temporarily, it was legal to hunt down Weasachi. Their tornadoes were strong, but not strong enough to keep their species from going nearly extinction. I didn't even see the foolishness of it until the Natives told me that the Weasachi were very important to them and the island. In legend, it's said that the Weasachi are able to control the weather and, when fed offerings, they help to create the perfect conditions for a bountiful harvest.

When my partners and I first heard of this, we immediately started researching on how to bring back the species. When we finally did it, we created a species of Weasachi that was safe enough to keep in your home. Their fur became a warm orange. Their scythes still could paralyze, just not as potent. They no longer ride on tornadoes, but more of a dust devil that won't destroy half of the city. Good thing we still improved the structure of our storages, they seem to be able to squeeze through holes the size of a quarter.
