⚡ What Call of the Night does
Every 16 minutes 40 seconds at base weight, the Nightjar eats one Moonlit fruit (favorited fruit are safe). A random pet in your garden then gets a small XP boost and a small passive boost.
If the fruit it eats has Bloodlit as well as Moonlit, the pet gets a large passive boost instead. A passive boost strengthens a pet's own ability, so the target matters, but the Nightjar picks at random.
No Moonlit fruit means no meal. Moonlit appears at night, so the Nightjar is a night-time pet.
