The Ninjatown story thusfar...

Ninjatown is nestled quite literally between a rock and a hard place. On one side, the towering, active volcano Mount Feroshi. On the other, the mysterious Dark Forest where evil of many kinds resides.

For many years, the existence of a ninja clan within the world of Shawnimals was only legend. Wee Ninjas lived quietly secluded until their supply of ninja star-shaped cookies dwindled and they had to search further and further away for the rare ingredients for their secret recipe. It was then that a Wee Ninja was seen, harvesting Stealth Wheat which grows only when you're not watching, and the darkest of dark chocolate (called Night Cocoa) found deep in the maze of caves underneath Mount Feroshi.

Ninjatown is similar to any small town or village, with corner stores, parks, and houses, except with a few key differences. First, by and large everyone in Ninjatown is a ninja, each with a unique set of skills. Second, there are only a few types of structures: A ninja hut, a training dojo and a Stealthscraper where Business Ninjas and Ninja Consultants work.

While Wee Ninjas are peaceful (unless provoked, of course) they prefer to be left alone so they can go about their daily ninja activities like ninjaing, napping and constant training so they can perfect ultra-secret moves.

Some say Wee Ninjas possess magical abilities, so they often produce an ethereal glow when 'powering up'. This glow has a hypnotic, almost euphoric effect on those nearby, as if they've just been hugged. Other moves include Fists of Tickle Fury, Candy Smoke Bomb, Heart Star Explosion, and many more. Each Wee Ninja type is said to have its own set of moves.

Mount Feroshi lies next to Ninjatown, rumbling every few hours, making Wee Ninjas uneasy. They believe the Dino Slug Feroshi has power over the volcano as he's often seen roaming around near the top, breathing fire for fun. Because of this, the Wee Ninjas revere Feroshi as a kind of deity and leave him offerings like spicy wasabi peas, cinnamon candy and other fun-to-eat heat treats.

The Dark Forest borders the other edge of Ninjatown, where the Wee Devils come from to wreak havoc. The all-knowing Master Ninja says the Wee Devils are controlled by Mr. Demon the most evil being in all of Shawnimaland. The Wee Devils often try to lure Wee Ninjas into the Dark Forest with a seductively sugary syrup of unknown origin. Several Wee Ninjas have wandered into the Forest never to be seen again. Late at night you can hear moans coming from the Forest, which makes Wee Ninja shiver in fear.
