Something I have started thinking about is what the creatures in Splinterlands do when they are not involved in battles. We usually see them when they are being selected for matches, placed in teams or used against opponents. But what happens after all that?
Do they return to their homes? Do they have families? Do they spend time with other creatures from their Splinters? Or are they constantly preparing for another battle?
It is a funny thing to think about, but it opens up an entirely different side of the Splinterlands universe.
A Normal Day in the Splinterlands
Imagine waking up in a world where dragons, monsters, magical creatures and all sorts of unusual beings exist.
Some creatures might begin their day searching for food, while others could spend their time protecting their territories. There might be creatures whose responsibilities involve looking after younger members of their species.
I imagine that not every creature spends its entire existence fighting. Just like in our world, different beings would probably have different routines.
Some might enjoy exploring, others might prefer staying close to home, and a few could spend most of their time doing absolutely nothing.
Do Creatures Have Families?
This is something I find particularly interesting.
We see so many different creatures in Splinterlands, but it is easy to forget that they could belong to larger groups or species.
Do some of them have parents and children? Are there younger versions of certain creatures? Do they live together in communities?
Imagine a powerful monster that looks terrifying during battles but is actually very protective of its family.
It would completely change how we look at that character.
A creature that appears frightening might have a completely different personality when it is around those it cares about.
What About Friendships?
I also wonder whether creatures from different Splinters could become friends.
Imagine a Fire creature becoming close friends with a Water creature. Considering their different elemental identities, that could make for an interesting relationship.
They might have completely different lifestyles, but that does not necessarily mean they cannot get along.
Perhaps they meet during an adventure and discover that they have more in common than they initially thought.
I think these kinds of relationships would make the fictional universe more enjoyable because they would show that there is more to its inhabitants than their abilities and appearances.
Do They Ever Get Tired of Fighting?
Another funny possibility is that some creatures might actually dislike battles.
Imagine being selected for another fight when all you want is a peaceful day.
Some creatures might enjoy competition, while others could prefer avoiding trouble whenever possible.
There could even be creatures that are naturally peaceful but are constantly dragged into conflicts because of the world they inhabit.
I find that idea amusing because we usually associate the creatures with their combat abilities. We rarely imagine whether they actually enjoy fighting.
The World Outside the Battles
I think this is one of the things that makes fictional worlds interesting. The main events might revolve around battles, but there is always room to imagine everything happening outside those events.
There could be markets, homes, gathering places and communities. Some creatures might trade with one another, while others could spend their time travelling between different regions.
There might even be celebrations, competitions and festivals that have absolutely nothing to do with fighting.
Of course, these are imaginative ideas rather than established details of the official Splinterlands story.
A Little More Personality
If I could add one thing to the way we experience Splinterlands, it would be more small stories about the everyday lives of its creatures.
I would enjoy seeing what happens when they are not fighting. Even short stories showing their friendships, disagreements, funny habits and daily activities could make the universe feel more alive.
Sometimes, the most interesting part of a character is not what it can do during a battle but what it is like when nobody is watching.
And honestly, I think there are plenty of stories waiting to be imagined beyond the battlefield.
