Leetle Tree

The Leetle tree, another non-dragon sprite, was dropped after the Yulebucks ceased dropping and before January 1st, 2009. It is classified as a frozen egg on scrolls. TJ09 coded the leetle trees to drop in between normal cave dragons rather than en masse. Combined with the excessive lag still plaguing the site at that time, very few users were able to catch one. However, they are unbreedable and unabandonable, so they became unobtainable after the drops stopped. Only one leetle tree is allowed per scroll. If a player grabbed two leetle trees, the second would be auto-abandoned after fifteen minutes.

Kila, the spriter, had indicated that she has further plans for them and that there may be variations on the original design. Then, in October of 2010, the trees changed into an autumn version; instead of looking like a minature pine tree, they turned into a tree with bright red leaves falling off. For Halloween's week the Leetle Tree sprite is changed again, showing a dead tree with a full moon behind. Leetle Trees cannot be killed, and display the message: "The leetle tree is too cute to kill."

Then, on December 28th of 2010, Leetle Trees dropped again: they were released en masse only during the first hour, after which they were released again between normal cave dragons. It's currently not known how long they'll continue to drop, but TJ09 has stated that the Leetle Trees will be around for "a while."

They were a spur of the moment release, resulting from a late-night discussion that occurred in the DC IRC channel.

Leetle Trees are the inspiration for T.J.'s Leetle Adoptables site. They are featured on the site as an obtainable leetle.
