That's something you get additionally just for personally contributing an ingredient, that's not about the special prize the whole district would get.

I have received information from a very reliable, legitimate, and not-fraudulent organization hailing from the slums in Mexico. They have leaked what they claim is, without a doubt, the finale.

*Rat Appears*
Celestial Rat: Greetings, citizens of Tyria. I have come this year not to bestow you with fortune or with misfortune, but for a greater task.

Celestial Rat: You see, this year, I require assistance from all of you...

Celestial Rat: I MUST REACH RANK 9 OF MY HUMANSLAYING TITLE!
*The Rat, level 31, turns hostile, and skill usage is enabled in the town*

*The Rat has 13371337 health*

The Rat's Skills
-Storm of Vermin
He summons a wave of nontargetable rats which stampede through the town, exploding and causing 75 damage with each impact on a player.

-Conjure Cheese
The Celestial Rat summons a massive hunk of cheese which explodes, unleashing smaller chunks which cause knockdown, cripple, and daze if they hit a player.

-Tail Lash
The Celestial Rat spins around, whipping his tail (similar to Cyclone Axe). All nearby foes are KILLED! Sucks for wammos.

-Polymorph (yes, stolen from Warcraft)
Turns target foe into a rat with 50 health, 5 energy, and disabled attacking for 30 seconds. Just try to stay alive kay?

In addition to all this, the Celestial Rat can spit fire from his mouth and also has a melee "biting" attack. Both of which are extremely lethal. Imagine Glint but on a larger scale.

Victory
If the players are victorious in defeating the Celestial Rat, he will explode, raining Celestial Rat minipets and other Canthan New Year goodies all over the monastery for several minutes, and a fireworks show will start up.

Defeat
The Rat leaves the district, players are resurrected and combat skills disabled once more.

Disclaimer: This theory is a theory at best, and in no way the definite outcome of the event. Anyone who believes this has a problem and should seek medical attention ASAP.

No, trying to win over the people with really cruddy senses of humor (in the sense of being brought to laughing their spleens out easily).

Anyways, the 10 minute fireworks thing is kind of eh.

Mind I'm currently guildless.

Meh, that would be a nice touch. This New Year is divided into two groups - the ridiculously lucky people who get 3 rats in 70 fortunes, and the people like me who have opened 300+ and have nothing but a crapload of spiritual possessions.

Zinger, I thought Eldin's post was funny. XD
It could have had some super deep Unreal Tournament type announcer commenting on combo scores and Celestial super attacks.

In this video King leonidas would play the role of the celestial rat.

Man i really hope not. I want something that is like a hat, but....really not a hat. Anything i can use and not have it go away. Customized is fine, and preferred of course customized by account.

I like the crates of fire works but...........an explosive rat - now that would have been really cool.
