I
assume it's limited (and I would bet my bottom dollar on the assumption of its limit-ability is indeed correct) because of two factors:
1) It's Hanukkah themed, thus holiday-themed (all holiday-themed animals are limited no matter what in DS so I assume it's true in FFS)
2) Its breeding time is the same as the Hippogryph (as people have seen, most holiday-themed animals with the same breeding time as other element hybrids tend to get the boot sooner or later)
It's not confirmed... yet. But, with the fact that the
mods of this forum assured us that Pumpkin Panda was not limited, and it turned out they were wrong... well, you can see my concern here, yes? If the mods are misled on what is or will not be limited in the future, chances are the safest route to take is to
assume every animal that is holiday/seasonal-themed is (and will always be) limited---either a few weeks after its release or a few months.
As for me, I'm taking no chances with this animal. An actual staff member would have to physically come onto the forum and tell me in a post that this animal is not (or ever will be limited) to assure me at all of its permanence. Otherwise, by this point, I trust no one
