Patch history

Nihonzaru's name translates to "Japanese Macaque" which is a real animal. There was a previous bug that occurs when two Nihonzaru's are placed down, it decreases a certain pet's passive cooldown. Every Nihonzaru bathes separately. Each one placed down needs a separate Hot Springs to bathe in a 1 to 1 ratio. Otherwise, it tends to be that the lowest leveled Nihonzaru will get the spot and be active, creating a bug similar to the one above. Sometimes, the Nihonzarus somehow bathe in the same hot spring and the abilities stay forever. In Version v1771, The Nihonzaru's ability was removed from the game. Formerly, the Nihonzaru's passive was "Bathe Time: As long as there is a Hot Spring in the players garden: bathes in it and boosts all other pet's passives by a small amount." Nihonzaru is the first pet to have an ability correlated to a cosmetic.
