The Bestiary Puzzler
Follow the clues to unveil 33 characters hidden among nearly 19,000 bestiary entries in the database. Unscramble these 33 characters to form a phrase.
Characters can be letters, punctuation, or blank spaces.
Some notes to keep in mind:
-Numbers have been added to each of the bubbles. They correspond with the clue number.
-Spaces and punctuation are in the order which they belong (i.e. if the fifth clue leads you to a space, there is a space in the fifth spot of the scramble; likewise for punctuation).
-Letters are scrambled.
-Letters which belong at the beginning of a word are YELLOW while all others are BLACK.
-The first clue is answered as an example of what to look for. It is included in the unscramble.
This will be a bit more of a challenge than our bestiary easter egg hunt this past March. And unlike then, there is no set time limit. So, listen closely, and be taken down memory lane. Have at it!
