Uniques

Unique Spotlight – The Disc-Integrater

Whether it’s in the science class, the disc golf course, or the ring, The Disc-Integrater will be laying the smack down!

Owner: Trailerboy

How To Get: This unique can be traded for a missing 489, or a sub 489 where I have higher saved.

Meaning: I created this unique to highlight all my interests; disc golf, professional wrestling, and teaching middle school science!

Which number unique is this for you? This is my first unique. If my wife allows it, I’ll hopefully have more in the future.

Closing Thoughts: I’ve gotten a really positive response to it! I’m glad everyone enjoys it, Andy did a great job!

Unique Spotlight – Foraging Fox

This fox can be found high in the Kentucky hills of Stamping Ground.

Owner: Ground Fox

How To Get: My unique can be acquired by trading for any missing TD.

Meaning: I enjoy how uniques are a way for WallaBee players to highlight their personalities, hobbies or homelands with other players from around the world. The Foraging Fox unique is special to me because it shows a fox amidst the rolling hills of Kentucky. Often when cell service is poor because of weather conditions I find myself standing on top of a hill behind my house trying to get signal to play WallaBee! You have to take it all in stride.

Which number unique is this for you? This is my only unique at this time.

Unique Spotlight – The 40mph Couch Potato

The Greyhound. Built for speed, designed for sleep.

Owner: greyhoundjane

How To Get: Many were gifted as thank you gifts to those who helped me in my early days of play. Many were traded for missing TDs as the time. Now I trade for personal Uniques I am missing. This item will probably stop at 250.

Meaning: I created the unique to highlight what amazing pets Greyhounds make and help change some misconceptions. Built for speed and not for stamina, Greyhounds do not need a lot of exercise. In fact, two twenty minute walks a day will suffice. They do love to run if given the space, but a 5 minute race round the garden or dog park will totally wear them out. What do Greyhounds do best? Sleep! For 22hrs a day in fact. No I am not kidding, think giant cat. Talking of cats, yes it’s true not all Greyhounds are cat safe. But then again that can be said about any breed of dog.

Which number unique is this for you? This was my 1st Unique, based on one of my First Greyhounds, “Freckles,” who I had to say goodbye to her in 2007 after she lost her battle with cancer. She and kennel mate (out other hound at the time) were rescued from the Irish Racing industry.

Closing Thoughts: Some interesting facts for you:

• Greyhounds are mentioned or featured in 11 of Shakespeare’s plays.
• General George Custer was a big greyhound fancier.
• President Abraham Lincoln had a greyhound on his family coat-of-arms.
• Greyhounds are the fastest breed of dog, reaching top speeds of 45 miles per hour!
• Greyhounds can see CLEARLY for a distance of a half-mile!
• In England at one time, it was forbidden for ‘commoners’ to even own a greyhound.
• Greyhounds come in 19 different primary colors and in over 55 different color combinations.
• Greyhounds have a larger heart, lungs and more red blood cells than other canine breeds.
• Rescued greyhounds are used for donating blood for other dogs! Greyhounds have a more universal blood that can be used for dogs needing blood transfusions from accidents, injuries or surgery.
• A Greyhounds foot placement when running is different to any other dog – during the Greyhound’s complete stride, he is off the ground twice – a double suspension gallop (they run like a cheetah, not like a horse). When running, greyhounds spend 80% of their time in the air. It is as close to “flight” as a land animal can get.
• Greyhounds require little exercise, are very quiet, and are ideal for suburban homes, unlike many other large breeds of dogs.

Unique Spotlight – Roaming Gnome

With a carefree, ambling stride
He travels far and wide
Seeking good where’er he goes
As kindness is all he knows

Owner: elli61

How To Get: TD Gnomes freely given out for in-game acts of kindness. To receive one you need to be nominated for one by another player. To nominate a player for a Gnome see the Roaming Gnome thread in the Wallabee Chat Forum. SD low DD Gnomes are available for trade. Please PM Elli61 or see her profile for details.

Meaning: When I started playing Wallabee I was helped by some very generous players who gave me items (and advice) when I had nothing of value to give in return. This Walla-kindness is one of my favorite parts of the game! So I knew I wanted a unique that contributed to that aspect of the game.

Which number unique is this for you? 2. My first unique, the Hamsa is owned jointly with the player Michal who is both my dear friend and my cousin!

Closing Thoughts: I have a collection of garden gnomes that started when one was given to me as a joke by a good friend (she has no idea what she started!) I also love to travel, and the combination of both led to the creation of the Roaming Gnome.

Unique Spotlight – The Traveller

“Not all those who wander are lost” – JRR Tolkien
You will find The Traveller wandering the world, you just have to catch him and he’s yours.
Mind you don’t get bitten though!

Owner: greyhoundjane

How To Get: All Travellers, TD and above, were recycled into the wild for you to find. He was created for the fun of the game and is free to all. Hunt him, catch him, share him, take him on your travels an leave him in far away places. If you Find one who’s been sat in one place too long, recycle him an send him on his way. Watch out for that luggage though… it bites!
*please be aware you approach this unique at your own risk, the creator holds no responsibility or liability once in the wild. However, we do suggest a good set of chainmail, gloves, and checking your tetanus is up to date.

Meaning: One of my favourite Personal Uniques is Forman’s ‘The Recycler.’ Not only a fabulous item, but a fun one. The fact you have to go find him adds to the fun and challenge of the game. Thank you, Forman, for starting this craze (though I still haven’t found one in my garage 😉). The Traveller is based on two characters from Sir Terry Pratchetts “ Disc World “ series of books. The wizard Rincewind & his luggage.

Which number unique is this for you? It is my second unique.

Unique Spotlight – Elysium

The gods have deemed you worthy… welcome to paradise.

Owner: mikepastry47

How To Get: This can be acquired by trading a sub400 improvement item or helping me when I miss a drop.

Meaning: Elysium is my favorite word and always loved the idea of a perfect afterlife. Pictured something beautiful and peaceful. I just love the mythology behind it.

Which number unique is this for you? This was my 4th unique.

Closing Thoughts: Happy to be part of this game and unique collection. Hope I can share Elysium with everyone.

Unique Spotlight – 3.14 and 244

Pi and coffee are two of my favorite things.
And this unique is to thank you for another thing I love, 707s.

Owner:  deliberatelyintentional

How To Get: Players can acquire it through trading a #707 to me.

Meaning: The artwork for this is actually based off my own work. Andy took it and put a WallaBee spin on it. Kinda funny story since it went from one Andie (me) to another Andy.

Which number unique is this for you? This was unique number one for me.

Unique Spotlight – Jet Drag

Pulling for a Cure

Owner: Lightek

How To Get: It is only offered through April 30, 2018. Please visit my profile for more information.

Meaning: This unique was created to help me raise funds for the American Cancer Society (ACS) Relay for Life event that I will participate in on May 4, 2018. Pulling for a cure pitted teams of 20 humans vs a 757-200 jet plane weighing in around 150k pounds. The goal is to pull the plane 20 feet in the shortest amount of time. This event, hosted by Delta airlines, celebrates the fundraising efforts of their employees. The past 2 years they have also invited a small team of Medallion passengers to participate as well. This group, Medallions for Global Good, participates in many Delta charity drives throughout the year, helping to raise funds from the seats! Last year our team was the top fundraiser for the event at $128K and number 9 in the nation for all of ACS Relay events. The Jet Drag itself raised over $500k between all 110 teams. The artwork is based on a couple of photos sent to Andy. Some of you have recognized KennyG as the dark haired guy. Yes, he actually came to the event and was two people behind me on the rope. Jane met KennyG while working a flight after telling him her story, he played a mini concert in the aisle of the plane and promised to come to pull with us.

Which number unique is this for you? This is my 6th

Closing Thoughts: Cancer is a terrible disease and so many are touched by it. All the money is collected directly into the ACS application and goes towards research for a cure. In addition to funding research grants, donations also pay for rides for cancer patients, lodging for families, support and assistance for patients working through appearance changes caused by treatment, education and outreach. As a result of these efforts, there has been a 25% drop in mortality rates over the past 20 years. Our team, called Gretchen’s Gazelles, pulls to honor our Flight attendant sponsor Jane’s daughter, Gretchen. Gretchen was taken away from her family by brain cancer in 2015. Her two small daughters join their grandma in cheering us on at the event. Thank you so much for your support. May this be the year we find the cure.

Unique Spotlight – My Jabber Baby Wocky

“Beware The Jabberwock, my son!”

Owner: Jenbee997

How To Get: So guess what? It turns out that the tumtum tree is magical! GASP! Every time I stick my arm into the tree hollow I am able to pull out another baby wocky! I have decided that for security purposes to never reveal the location of the tree. After all, we wouldn’t want the location to get leaked out onto social media! Therefore, I have established the TumTum Adoption Services Department. Single and double digit adoptions will be available for the low low price of a missing unique.

Meaning: The legend of the Jabberwock goes way way back, even before my time. I’ve always been curious about this mysterious creature, but no matter how much I searched I could never seem to find one (although I thought I caught a glimpse of one in a mirror once!). One evening as I sat to rest under a tumtum tree I heard the most curious little burble coming from within the tree. Despite my better judgement I plunged my hand into a dark tree hollow and pulled out the most precious baby jabberwock. I knew at that moment that he would be my little jabber baby wocky forever! I’ve named him TumTum in honor of the place we first met.

Which number unique is this for you? Jabber Baby Wocky is my second Wallabee Unique. My first Unique was the WallaTat which was released in 2016. WallaTats are free for all players so if you are missing one please send me a message!

Closing Thoughts: If you decide you would like to adopt a TumTum of your very own, please be aware that they require lots of love and attention. I recommend a heated blanket for when you are not around to cuddle him. And of course all wockys are on a strict diet of mome raths, but are allergic to slithy toves, so be careful because a trip to the wocky veterinarian can get quite expensive!

Unique Spotlight – Be Kind To Animals

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
– Mahatma Gandhi

Owner: WiMPiE

How To Get: You can buy one in the ‘Uncanny Unique Store’ for 19 hc each or you can forage one for free at an ‘animal friendly’ location! I also have a few DD’s left to trade for missing TD’s or missing uniques…

Meaning: With this unique I want to be a voice for those who don’t have one. I want to raise awareness for animal rights and the treatment of animals worldwide. Animals should be treated with respect and compassion… Please help me spread the word… Feel free to buy, forage, drop, recycle or trade as much as you like! I would love to see this unique end up in animal friendly places all over the world…

Which number unique is this for you? This is my first unique and I’m very proud of it!
