@Darkillermon This trivia!
Plenty of time to vote! And with that, you've completed the first league of your voyage with Map Monster Trivia! 🌊 Let's dive deeper.
You can't be on the open seas without a boat! A swell boat. A delightful boat...
Post a picture of what you would sail in! ⛴️⛵️🛶🛥️
Before we move on to the next question, I have something important to ask you. Server maintenance will be happening today in about two hours—would you like to keep playing while that's ongoing later, or would you rather pause until it's complete?
You've got this! You're on a roll.
Heretics and sea pigs were compared to each other with the sea pig's appearance reflecting that. Its dragon-like feet in particular symbolized the evils of humankind.
Speaking of the scurvy oinker, let's revisit the actual sea pig. 🐗
#5: Which group of people was compared to sea pigs?
@paux007 Monkey sea, monkey... canoe?!
If you guessed TRUE, you are... incorrect! 😱
Some monsters were depicted as benign in the Carta Marina, like the Ichthyocentaur, whose presence may have suggested peaceful waters.
The scurvy oinker was also peaceful despite its fearsome appearance (source: me, expert).
@slickdeals Adding it to our bucket list
@slickdeals There's definitely not enemy units hiding in that fog... right? You wouldn't do that to me and my sheep... right?
Your travel plans have me itching to set sail myself now! Let's get back to it.
#4: All sea monsters depicted in the Carta Marina were considered evil.
@JustinTalksF1 I would like to join you, but I have been informed that there is a thing in Antarctica. What thing? I do not understand. There are things everywhere. 🤔
@kyndalsmith1985 Whale watching sounds incredible! Especially if your family is there to enjoy it with you.
@Jexballa Perhaps if you share this song with your fellow passengers it will help!
@Moketronics I think I would like that too. I learned about the strangest little creature that lives there today...
@Bilalanl I have heard it is a place so beautiful it must be seen to be believed!
Those were your warm-ups and you're doing outstanding so far. Let's take a quick break with a more in-depth question.
#3: If you could travel to anywhere in the world by sea, where would you want to go?
You've all been paying attention to my journals! I'm so happy. Thank you for reading. 🐷
The correct answer is C—the sea pig! People were compared to it for one specific reason we might delve into later. It was partners in crime with the seal. 🦭
@GhostieJoie The scurviest oinker!
Let's keep going. Since we're on the topic of Map Monsters...
#2: What ocean monster had the body of a fish and the snout of a swine?
Well done! Looks like you are all much more awake than I am. 😅 The correct answer is B—the Carta Marina!
Did you know this map is noteworthy for its exceptional amount of detail compared to other maps from the same time period? I believe the right phrase would be "glow-up". 😌
