Q: what is "red mode?"
A: documentation on the phenomenon is surprisingly scarse... from what we presently understand, red mode occurs when the sealnar is very angry, and its skin turns red and it starts wreaking havoc of all sorts.
=
Q: is it contagious?
A: our understanding at present is that "red mode" cannot be spread to humans, primates, or most household pets. however, those with pet ferrets, foxes, or binturongs are advised to keep their pets indoors while the sealnar is on the loose.
=
Q: what can i do to protect myself?
A: little to nothing. once a sealnar goes "red mode," it is virtually unstoppable. though the majority of sealnars are quite mild-mannered, even in "red mode," there have been cases reported of sealnars chomping through steel, brick, and even coal.
=
Q: have you ever gone red mode?
A: no. i am not a sealnar so i have never gone "red mode."
=
Q: okay, but if you did... what would you do?
A: i'd probably explode.
