The old Mondomonger was a pure staking box. The updated version allows you to send groups of Fantoms on timed expeditions (4, 12, or 24 hours). During these missions, Fantoms cannot be traded or used elsewhere.
The Fantopia community has been quick to dissect the update. Data-miners have found snippets of code suggesting that the Mondonmonger is not just a monster, but perhaps a corrupted former developer or a remnant of an older version of the game world. This meta-narrative has sparked dozens of theory-crafting threads online.
The strongest asset of the Mondonmonger update is its commitment to the bit. The aesthetic is a collision of candy-coated "fantopia" whimsy and the darker, grittier undertones suggested by the name "Mondonmonger" (a title that evokes a dealer in worlds or a glutton for existence).
