A small seabao is sunbathing on the sandy shores. Her eyes are closed, but she opens them upon hearing your approach.

"..." She says.
 
"..." Yes, yes.
 
"..." Will you tell us more?
 
"..." Aha!
 
It seems to locate the sunken ship, you'll need to find a good old fashioned treasure map. So, what say we start our adventure there?

 SF1-001: THAR SHE BAOS ☀​
"The map?" Bearmuda tilts her head. "It should be around here somewhere..."
Looks like Bearmuda has misplaced the map to the sunken ship! The map is should still be hidden somewhere on this beach... but where oh where could it be? Behind some sandcastles, in a glass bottle, or stolen by a crab? It's up to you to figure out where it is!

 SF1-002: ABAONDEN SHIP 
Having found the map, you journey to your destination. Except: "well, we all knew the ship would be underwater..."
However will you be able to reach the ship, little baobear? Perhaps you can hold your breath for a long time, or you've learnt to scuba dive! Or maybe you've tied yourself to an anchor... well, just make sure not to drown! Good luck!

 SF1-003: THE LEGENDARY BAONTY 
And, at your journeys end, you find it... the lost treasure!
Whatever could be inside? That's up to you! A pile of gold, a bunch of bones, or even a giant squid! Or, better yet, perhaps the real treasure were the friends we made along the way...

 SF1-004: BEARMUDA BAYS BLESSING 
 
​"Baobears are magical creatures who can evolve into other forms, usually under very specific circumstances. Those baobears who call Bearmuda Bay their home often have a heightened affinity with the sea, and many find themselves changed seemingly out of nowhere. They will grow fins, flippers, and scales, characteristics that help them better explore the environment they so love (and, perhaps, to find new types of food!).

[Excerpt taken from 'Encyclopedia Beartanica']

The 'seabao' is a unique kind of form some baobears can take! Legend says that those with a particular affinity to the sea are able to take on this form. Perhaps you, too, could unlock this special evolution?

  • For this quest line, you must:
    • Complete SF1-001, SF1-002, and SF1-003 with the baobear you wish to gain the evolution. The baobear must be owned by you.
    • Draw your baobear in their new 'seabao' form: how are they reacting? What are they doing now? What changes has it brought? This prompt is purposely left open ended, so feel free to get creative!​​
  • Seabao form is limited to the following traits:
    • ​Hind legs become a fish tail with a basic forked shape.
    • Choose one only: scales, dorsal fin, or flippers.

 
 NOTES ON SEABAO EVOLUTION  
The seabao is an 'evolution' much like a baobear's 'human form'. It is non-permanent and the baobear can shift between its evolutions freely, requiring no change to masterlist art.​

  • Traits from the 'original' baobear form can carry over (e.g. seabaos can have angel wings, etc. given they have the trait in their original form), but not vice versa​​Seabao traits are exclusive to the seabao. The baobear would not obtain scales, fin, tail, etc. in their 'original' form.
  • The markings / colours / etc. of the seabao form will be similar or an exact replica and should not change drastically from the original form.
