Welcome to Goatling Spotlight! A mini event where we get to show off your favorite Goatlings! Each week a new Goatling will be featured in the News and the owner will receive a shiny Spotlight Trophy to display on their pets page or in their collection. This week is all about _resting_reef_!
![]() | Name: _resting_reef_ Appearance Doll: Sleepy Sea AD Guardian: @DizzyStranger Give Love! Bio: Resting Reef is a lonely goatling. They don't like the company of others and once in a blue moon are they seen with someone else, and luckily, most goatlings are okay with that and respect them. Except their girlfriend, Ranchu. They are very artistic, and enjoy making sand sculptures at the bottom of their stretch of sea. They're also, ironically, very energetic. |
Favorite Treasure
Turtle (it's their pet!) | Whale Sushi

Short Story
Resting Reef prodded the small pile of sand with their hoof, shaping it in the shape of an intricate archway. Their frothing tail wrapped tightly around their hind legs, they held their breath with anticipation, scooted backward and straightened themselves. It, thankfully, did not topple, and remained strong and stationary. Or at least, it didn't until a goatling swam aggressively through the clearing, a cascading current of bubbles and orange-and-white scales, and landed directly on the arch. Ranchu. They sighed, allowed the corners of their mouth to quirk in a slight smile, and paddled over to her to greet her.

Meal Deal set has been renamed to Fast Food. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: we're aware of the similarities that may be drawn to the fast food chain McDonalds or Burger King, but the Fast Food item was created to be generic, brandless, and any association with McDonalds/Burger King is purely coincidental, especially during the ongoing BDS boycott.

Thank you!

Win a Keffiyeh Neckscarf and 30,000 Sugar Stars! This item is now permanently located in the HA Buddy Boutique!

Bonus item!
Keffiyeh Headscarf is now also permanently located in the HA Buddy Boutique!
Extra Note: From Wikipedia: "The keffiyeh or kufiyyeh or cheffiyeh (Arabic: كُوفِيَّة, romanized: kūfiyya, lit. 'coif'),[1] also known in Arabic as a ghutrah (غُترَة), shemagh (شُمَاغ, šumāḡ), or ḥaṭṭah (حَطَّة), is a traditional headdress worn by men from parts of the Middle East."
The keffiyeh has a history of use as a political statement, dating back to the 1930s. Most recently, it's been worn by people of every gender around the world as a sign of solidarity with the Palestinian people. It is believed by some that the fabric's pattern is symbolic of olive trees, trade routes, and fishing nets, in reference to Palestine's rich culture and history.
Today, we're happy to add them to our site!
Keffiyeh Scarves are official staff designs by r00p (send love)!
Note: New Treasure Trivia games start at the beginning of each month. Treasure Trivia prizes do NOT retire. The prize is typically a special new Variety VIP item, however in special cases like this the item may be featured in a different shop.
