Wildlife Spotting (The Poliwags Cabin)

[Millysaurusrexjr]

I've tried
HONEY
FISH
MICK
BEEHIVE
MEGAN


and got nothing

 

[.: Meri :.]

For codes, I've re-tried "NARNIA", "NUMENOR", "VYLBRAND", "THEVILES", and "NEWNEIGHBORNETWORK", nothing yet.

edit: also just tried "MYSTERYISLAND" and "MYSTERYISLANDS", being places you could irregularly find Megan/normal bear cubs.

Also tried FOREST, MOUNTAIN, MOUNTAINS, CAVE and got nothing

I keep thinking about the word "bearer." Maybe some kind of letter-bearer. But the mailman in Animal Crossing is Pete, and he's a bird, so he would be in the birdwatching one instead. But maybe it has something to do with the messaging system. Is there an NPC that's attached to regular automated messages of some kind? And maybe it's... somehow also a bear? ^o^;>

There's no special bear NPCs to my knowledge. Though it made me look up Pete the user, and wow, are they ever old:

Hmm maybe we can log what we've all tried?

Yeah, we should definitely be doing that in general.

When I was thinking regular bearer, i was thinking like jhine or someone who does a lot of shop threads and such? maybe thats a stretch-

 

[.: Meri :.]

I don't remember this and this is probably a reach, but did Megan/a normal bear cub appear in any of the header art for Ocean/Woodlands tasks? If so, maybe the puzzle answer could be the name of that task/thread.

I've tried the following:
QUICKBEFORETHEMODSCOME
MICK
ZERO
0
JUSTIN
THENEVERLANDS
NEVERLANDS
THEBASEMENT
VRISNEM
CHRIS
RELENTLESSWILDCHILD
INTRODUCTIONBOARD
BASEMENTDWELLERS
ISLANDJOURNALS
MUSEUMSHOP
EXOTICFRUIT
TROPICALFRUIT
PERFECTPAIR
PERFECTPEAR

 

[.: Meri :.]

Also, could the "regular bearer" possibly refer to a visiting NPC who comes bearing goods? I.e., Daisy Mae, Saharah, Kicks, Leif, Redd, etc.

Did a quick check, the answer is no.

Clearly the clue is just referring to the Mysterious Masterpieces, since anything normal would look irregular from that.

the 'if you know where to look' makes me think its a clue, not a puzzle

okay just tried DAISYMAE and JOAN

 

[.: Meri :.]

Checked all the Spike-related posts by Mistreil in Mysterious Masterpieces (Spikeduck included), since Spike bears... whatever the spiky bar thing is.

 

[Lavamaize]

I tried KUNGFUPANDA

 

[.: Meri :.]

(Also tried "NÚMENOR" with the accent.)

 

[kiwikenobi]

I tried TOWNHALL and RESIDENTSERVICES. Also CAMPGROUND, HARVEYSCAMPGROUND, and HARVSISLAND.

 

[.: Meri :.]

It's occurred to me that "regular bearer" is a term used to describe certain kinds of fruit trees. I know I've seen it used for apples and mangoes, but my brain is too tired to do anything else with this information right now.

It's best to give it a break and try again tomorrow with a fresh mind.

Maybe since the current game is ACNH, it could have to do with threads that accidentally looked for tropical fruit or perfect fruit?

 

[kiwikenobi]

The word "regular" is probably a big clue. It has so many different meanings. Could mean "usual," like, the one who usually does the thing. Could be "on a fixed schedule." Could be alluding to "normal," like someone else said before. Could mean "average."

 

[.: Meri :.]

One more fruit thing that might be relevant (I'm gonna take a break after this, don't worry): I think pears are known for their irregularity.
