# Start Here ## The Sassy Snakes ![](/files/IfAHiMLoTe9JfgUNb9yc) The Sassy Snakes are a population of 6666 Snakes that have inhabited the Sassy Lagoon since the beginning of time. For millennia they have lived under the curse of an alien population known as the Umans. Jigari, the protector of the Umans, designated the Sassy Snakes a nuisance to all life forms and ordered that they be cursed. The curse maintained that every egg laid by a Sassy Snake would be transported via *portal* into another dimension where time stood still, and their population would slowly cease to exist. However, Jigari did not account for the fact that the Sassy Snakes have life spans of thousands of years and are highly intelligent creatures. A group of 6 snakes known as the Spooky Six have worked tirelessly over the last 800 years to break the curse. While they have not managed to break it completely, they have learned of a ritual that enables the creation of the same portals Jigari used to banish their eggs. Once a week, this ritual is performed and the spooky six open hundreds of *portals*, reversing their polarity so they travel from the banished realm to the Sassy Lagoon. During the weekly ritual, portals ripple across the sky and golden eggs rain down onto the jungle terrain. The snakes all race against each other to claim an egg while they last, in what is referred to as the [Weekly Golden Egg Hunt](/sassysnakes/utility/weekly-golden-egg-hunt.md). ![](/files/ZtRhIDXjyZ79oTpcSYu8) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
