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

Perched snipes.


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.
