Snipes are the graceful, adorable, and fetchingly corpulent birds found throughout Haven.

Herding
This is a common pastime for Knights low on energy. Until recently, the snipes were mostly thought to provide little to no real interaction. A recent development, however, shows that snipes follow a few basic movement rules: 1. Snipes will never intentionally move into a wall or knight. 2. A snipe who finds itself on top of a wall or knight will move a short distance in whatever direction will keep it off of a knight or wall. 3. If a snipe cannot move in a direction without connecting with a knight or wall, it will not move, but it will turn in a different direction.
Using these three rules, it is possible for knights to force the snipes into confined spaces.
