Sparkles

Sparkles the Tinsel Snake is a members-only pet that is obtained as an extra reward from the 2011 Christmas event. You will be notified by Sedridor that an enchanted piece of decoration has been causing havoc in the kitchen and he tells you that if you catch it, you can keep it. Sparkles is located in the jars where the christmas puddings are jumping. After a few tries, Sparkles will jump out of a jar and you will need to catch it.

Sparkles, like any other pet, can be dismissed and lost upon death. However, he will return to Diango and can easily be retrieved at any time. If you ask Sparkles if he wants to play a game, after a lengthly conversation about inconveniencing people and animals, he will think of a number between 1-10 and you will have to guess the number.

Trivia

 * If you try to drop Sparkles in the basement of the Wizards' Tower christmas event area, a message will appear stating, Sedridor does not want creatures running around the banquet area.
 * While having Sparkles out in a members world and logging into a free-to-play world will cause Sparkes to disappear and not appear in your inventory; logging back into a members world will cause Sparkles to reappear on the ground.
 * When trying to use the Christmas Banquet Portal while Sparkles is out, Wizard Sinterklaas will tell you "Sorry, no pets allowed in the banquet area".
 * Sparkles wears a Santa Hat, which looks a lot smaller in his chathead than on his overworld model.
 * You cannot call Sparkles while in the Grand Exchange, "You cannot call the familiar into this place." If you leave the G.E. and make Sparkles reappear, you can bring it back in. This is the case for ALL other pets, currently.
 * Sparkles doesn't eat, as it tells the player it doesn't have a stomach. Instead of the hunger showing "N/A" it permanently stays at 0%.
 * Some players have reported that they are unable to retrieve Sparkles from their menagerie.
 * When using Sparkles with a Wintumber tree, Sparkles will say "Don't even think about it sssssssssssssunshine!"
 * Sparkles_disappearing_glitch.PNG asked about its hat, Sparkles will state that it was stolen. The player assumes that it stole its hat from Santa Claus, which might not be true as all Tinsel Snakes sport Santa hats.
 * There is currently a glitch that causes Sparkles to turn invisible when viewed at certain angles, leaving behind a floating Santa hat.
