Hamster Plushies, Carousals, and Shamans

Hello, Jammers! It's Ozma00 here!
New stuff in the Carnival:

Hamster Plushies and Carousal Hats! The hats came out yesterday, and in my opinion the hamsters are way cute--though they do resemble mice.

A few days ago, I sent a quick e-mail to AJHQ, asking them about the names of the shamans. You know, like Peck, Greely, and Sir Gilbert? Anyway, here are some pictures of the shamans:

Peck the Rabbit Shaman, Greely the Wolf Shaman, Sir Gilbert the Tiger Shaman (though why you'd name a tiger Sir Gilbert, I have no idea), Cosmo the Koala Shaman, Graham the Monkey Shaman, and Liza the Panda Shaman.
For those of you newer to Animal Jam, these were the original six animals. All were available to members and nonmembers alike!

So, I sent this e-mail asking about the names of the shamans. Like, do they have a story behind them, like Cami's Frog? Or were they just cool-sounding names?

How did you get the names for the shamans, like Peck, Cosmo, or Greely? Were they just made up?

Hi There, Jammer!
Thank you for contacting Animal Jam HQ, and might we add, that's a very wild question! As you may know, the Shamans are very mysterious. They are the leaders of each kind of animal, and are the guardians and protectors of Jamaa. They spend most of their time exploring new lands, and bringing new types of animals back to Jamaa. Since they are quite busy in other lands, we don't see them very often and we're not really sure how they got their names.
We want to let you know that even though you may not see the Shamans, you can still help them out by being a Super Citizen of Jamaa! Isn't that cool?
Here are just a few examples of things you can do to help fellow Jammers:
- Start your own game and invite new Jammers
- Host a party with a fun theme
- Invite a new player to your den
- Answer your fellow Jammer's questions
- Run your very own guided tours!
The sky is the limit as a Super Citizen. If you see someone that needs help, go for it. Also remember, if you see someone breaking the rules, don't be afraid to send in a Player Report!
Thanks for helping to make Jamaa a better place. Good luck, be safe, and play wild!

Ohhkaaayy... That didn't really answer my question...

Essentially, the shaman's names have no special meaning behind them. And here I was, hoping for a more interesting post...

I've only ever seen Liza (at the very beginning, when you first make your account) and Graham, who was visiting Jamaa Township. That was about a nine months ago. :/

Next, I'll be e-mailing AJHQ about the Play Wild Fund! For what I know so far, click here.

I really like the new help button, because now I can annoy AJHQ by asking them random questions    >:D
