⚡ What Mischief does
Every 10 minutes 40 seconds at base weight, the Tanuki causes mischief: it does one of several random actions in your garden. The ability text doesn't list them. Other wiki pages mention a few: the Tanuki can apply Chilled or Moonlit, and it can roll for experience for itself.
Because it's random, it's a fun pet rather than one to build around.
