Sharp
This trait doesn’t just make dogs better at one thing; it makes them better all around. That might not sound good, but you can feel the change. “Sharp” here means that the dogs are much more willing to work.
The game shows how this is true with more Focus. This is about a dog’s desire and readiness to do what you ask. As it goes up, players can give their dog more instructions. Because they have this trait, they can help hunt for longer before getting tired. In doing so, it makes room for other characteristics and acts.
Loving
Like Sharp, this is a trait that helps people in general. The name makes it clear what it is. With the Loving trait, players can bond more closely with their dogs. This is shown through a stronger link.
Bonding is about how much a dog likes what it does. When it has a high level in this area, its attention comes back faster. It’s appealing in the same way that the Sharp trait is, because it sets up a good base for the rest of Flappy Bird. They are actually good qualities for a dog to have as a friend because they let the dog listen to directions over and over without getting tired.
Poop-Dar
No one ever said that hunting is exciting. A lot of it has to do with how things smell, and few things smell as strong as poop. The Hunter says “Poop-Dar” to show that he knows this.
This makes it more likely for a dog to find droppings while it is standing still. Even though that sounds gross, it can be a pleasant surprise. The players could find a trail they weren’t even looking for. Even though not every new thing you find is a winner, having that extra path opens up increases your chances of winning a big game prize. Why shouldn’t hunters use all of the tools they have?
Nosier
When players find a target, they might not be able to kill it with their first shot. They will probably hurt it and then follow the path of blood. Still, some wounds may not bleed much, making it harder to follow the path. In turn, players miss out on a prize that could be worth a lot of money. That problem is fixed by this trait.
Nosier is an improved version of the Nosy trait that lets the bloodhound smell a scent from small blood drops. So, players don’t have to worry about hurting an animal so badly that it dies when they chase it. If they hit it somewhere, they get another shot. They are given as many chances as they need. Even a small cut almost makes it hard to get away. If hunters play the long game, they will have a much better track record.
Shortcut
When trying to find an animal, there can be a lot of signs. It can be hard to tell the difference between a new trail and an old one, so players have to spend valuable time trying to figure it out. By the time they get there, their prey has already left. This trait comes in handy at that point.
Shortcut means that when tracking, dogs don’t pay attention to older hints. Hunters can focus on the animals that are close to them because their sense of size is better. In turn, they are more likely to succeed. No more chasing after wild geese.
6th Sense
Even though a bloodhound’s abilities are already good, this makes them even better. They can tell when animals are about to get scared because of their mysterious “6th Sense.” Most of the time, it happens when enemies are nearby.
This gift helps in two different ways. For one thing, it gives a better idea of whether or not the hunt will be successful. If players know that their target is about to run away, they might not want to waste energy or resources on a reckless attack. On the other hand, it lets them know when they might be in danger. After all, an animal could choose to eat a person or a dog next. If you have to fight, it’s best not to be surprised. This is related to another important quality.
Brave
A dog can do more than just track. It can also help keep you safe and be a strong friend in dangerous situations. A mutt can smell danger and may also scare it away. The Brave trait gives dogs a chance to scare away any carnivores that might be coming.
If a player has it prepared, they will not only live but also bear fruit. It can be just as hard to shoot an animal that is running toward the player as it is to run away. Not only that, but the price for not being there is much higher. Fans might not have to fight if they have dogs to protect them. The dog might even scare off the predator before it scares off the prey, giving the shooters time to line up their shots. Because of this, dogs are even more likely to be called “Man’s Best Friend.”
