Experience these mythical creatures like never before: - They start out quite tame and even follow directions to hover around or sit down where ever you tap at any flat surface. - But if you get too close to them (i.e. walk towards them with your phone in hand) they may not like it and react aggressively! Beast Mode: - The 'Beast Mode' is behind a pay wall, but once enabled they will attack anything or (anyone) you tap on! Hope you have fun with your new virtual pets :)
