Thank you S8 and all. This is great. I was maxed on naga drops from my royal naga, and now I have a use for them. The extra coin, which used to be a bit pointless, will now go towards my mer-castle. This has been really well thought out.
Got my second golem this morning, and noticed that the chopped naga dropped tokens, so I'd already seen the improvements. And I just collected my peacock. She's beautiful! I have all three of these now. S8 artists do such a lovely job with feathers! Maybe the next long term goal they should be working on is a volcano and phoenix. But not for a few months, please, to let us tackle the mermaid.
I do so, so hope that beast hunts continue to be regular.
