Holiday Themed Uniques

[Maynot]

It could be interesting if sometime in the next few installments that holiday themed uniques start to be added.

A completely black unique felid could be for Halloween.
A new human unique that always drops a 'red suit' armour (equivalent to leather) and a red cap for Christmas. He could also have a chance of dropping a rare potion, scroll, or bag of spiders.
Add rabbits to the game as a low level critter and then make a unique 20 HD Monty Python rabbit for the Easter holiday. Have it throw a unique ammo 'egg' which it carries ten. If the egg breaks, it releases toxic gas.
Add a unique narcissist human that becomes an ally, follows you around, and does nothing other than say how wonderful they are/how lucky you are to have them. This would be for Valentines day.
A unique sun demon that changes colors every turn and occasionally creates explosions could work for July 4th.
For new years, have an old human and a baby human uniques which start out fighting each other. If the baby human defeats the old human, it gets a massive boost in power.

Just a few fun ideas. Enjoy your holidays!

If it's only cosmetic or text based, I'm ok. But I do not want date specific content, since it's spoilery stuff and if it has any effect on the balance, the optimal play would require me to set-up my clock before every games.

Also remember that DCSS is played around the world, and not everybody has "xmas" or "thanksgiving", don't be geocentric.

I think Boris should, be a felid.

I think the occasional xmas or April Fools branch is fine for this purpose. I don't really care for giving the game make overs at the same time each year. (I guess maybe one unique who was reflavored for the closest holiday would be OK, as long as there wasn't scumming potential.)

Or the 4th of July, or Easter ... there isn't really a universal holiday.

Even with New Year celebration, I think China has it at a different month/day than what we have. There is not a fully universal holiday, but the most wide spread would be related to religion. Christmas and Easter are celebrated in many countries around the world.

It could be fun to have a holiday from each religion represented by a unique.

don't be geocentric

Tell that to the moon.
