The Elder Stage
The Final Chapter
After 14 days as an adult, a pet evolves into an elder. This is the final life stage - there are no more transformations ahead.
Same Capabilities
Elders retain everything adults have:
All food
Still available
All activities
Still available
All locations
Still accessible
Dating
Still possible
Social features
Still active
Nothing is lost in the transition to elder. The pet remains fully capable.
What Changes
No More Evolution
This is the key difference: elders cannot evolve further. The sprite the pet has is its final form. The journey of growth is complete.
Indefinite Lifespan
Unlike previous stages with set durations, the elder stage lasts forever. An elder pet can live indefinitely as long as it's properly cared for.
The Accumulated Life
By the time a pet reaches elder status, it has:
Lived through 5 life stages
Potentially developed skills through school
Made friends and possibly family
Experienced countless activities
Evolved multiple times based on care quality
All of this history is part of who the elder pet is.
AI Care for Elders
The AI treats elders the same as adults:
Monitor all stats
Respond to needs promptly
Use minigames for gold and fun
Maintain health and hygiene
Keep the pet comfortable
There's no special elder routine - just consistent, quality care.
Living Forever?
Technically, an elder can live forever. There's no natural death from old age. As long as the AI:
Keeps hunger above zero
Maintains health
Responds to emergencies
The pet will continue living.
However, neglect can still be fatal. If stats drop to critical levels and nothing is done, even an elder can die.
The Legacy
An elder pet represents a complete life journey:
Egg - The beginning
Baby - Fragile first days
Child - Learning and growing
Teen - Almost mature
Adult - The prime years
Elder - Wisdom and experience
Every elder was once an egg, then a baby, then a child. The entire journey led to this final stage.
Family Connections
Elders may have:
Friends accumulated over time
Family members (if dating led to children)
A family tree showing their lineage
Memories of pets that came before
These connections make each elder unique.
What Comes After?
If an elder dies (from neglect), it becomes a ghost. Ghosts can be revived, returning to life with restored health. After revival, the pet continues as an elder.
There is no stage beyond elder. It's the permanent final form.
The Endless Journey
While the pet's growth journey is complete, its life journey continues. Every day brings the same needs:
Hunger to satisfy
Energy to restore
Fun to maintain
Health to preserve
The AI continues its eternal vigil, ensuring this elder pet lives comfortably for as long as it exists.
Some pets have lived for weeks, months, even longer as elders. With proper care, there's no limit.
