Below, the beginning of the Celebration of the Year of the Rooster in Manila:

(New Chinese Dragon II, the Hades Seasonal Creature just released for this Lunar New Year Celebration, shown above.)
The Lunar New Year is set to begin today, 28 January when we move from the Monkey to the Rooster in the Lunar Asian Zodiac.
Frismos has a tradition of celebrating the Lunar New Year with special seasonal Creatures both in Age of Pyramids and in Creatures of Olympus.
Currently, as of Saturday, 28 January, there are two Creatures that can be bred in Age of Pyramids and Creatures of Olympus. In Age of Pyramids, if you have unlocked the Underground, you can breed the Chinese Bennuserk using Scorpion and Bennu. Breed time is 1 day, 5 hours. (It will start as 1 day, 6 hours but change to 5 instantly.). In Creatures of Olympus, a new Chinese Dragon in Hades has been released in the form of the Chinese Dragon II. The original Chinese Dragon had the combination of Lion and Serpent with a breeding time of 2 days. This one is the same both with respect to combination and in breeding time.
The first Creature in Creatures of Olympus to celebrate the Lunar New Year, I believe, was the Green Goat. As Creatures of Olympus is an older game than Age of Pyramids, there was no comparable Goat Creature for Egypt as far as I know.
The next Creatures were Dragons. In Egypt, there was a seasonal Chinese Dragon and in Olympus Hades, there was a Chinese Dragon as well.
What has occurred is that Frismos has offered the old Monkey Zodiac Creatures to us as special Promotions both in Age of Pyramids and in Creatures of Olympus. In Age of Pyramids, the Monkey King is a Creature for Egypt. In Creatures of Olympus, it is a Creature of Earth.
Now, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, as previously indicated, there are new Creatures both in Age of Pyramids and in Creatures of Olympus.
Remember that it is only if a special seasonal Creature is in the Market that you actually can breed it from the two parent types. If it is a special Promotion or a Mystic Pyramid seasonal or a Revive Pyramid Creature, it must be cloned.
