RAIN WORLD UPDATE: The eggbug population in Sky Islands is so big that I ended up killing three eggbugs and storing both them and their eggs in a shelter. However, while I was depositing the third eggbug’s eggs, they started despawning when I dropped them into the shelter. I wonder why?

However, another issue presented itself. A white lizard went into the shelter and helped itself to one of the eggbugs. However, the shelter was one of those 3×3 top-exit shelters, so the lizard got stuck in there. I was forced to hibernate with the lizard, which counted towards The Friend. Nearly half of the following cycle passed with both of us trying and failing to get out of the shelter.

Eventually, I tried using a cherrybomb that I had stored in the shelter to force the lizard out. After being pummeled by the explosions of every cherrybomb stored in the shelter, I left the shelter to find the outside chamber empty. Then, a blue lizard, a white lizard (the same one), and a large swarm of batflies came out of a nearby pipe, all at once. Weird.

I did get footage of the incident, though it might be hard to understand because the file requires a little re-encoding. The footage is available on request.
