Meteor Crash Site 725-XZ is a location of a meteor impact on Kreludor. The impact occurred on 21st June 2007, although New Features archives it as the 22nd as part of the Meteors of Kreludor themed day.

Users are able to approach the large meteorite - which had left a large trench in the ground - and were given the option to run away from it or to poke it with a stick. In the latter event, the meteorite either cracked and discharged an alien item or disappeared.

Users are only able to do this once per day, however: further approaches to the rock resulted in either the user noting it was very hot or a Purple Grundo scientist encouraging the user to leave.

Prizes

There are several different items that can be obtained from prodding the meteorite, including:

  • Antigravity Tulip
  • Attack on Kreludor
  • Iceberg Sundae
  • MechaBerry Bomb
  • Meteor Rock
  • Proto-force 5000 Helmet
  • Squashed Salisbury Steak
  • Sugarbunny Surprise
  • Upsidown Tree

Trivia

  • The activity page incorrectly refers to the rock as a meteor - this in fact refers to the rock as it enters the atmosphere.
  • The meteor crash coincided with the release of several meteor-themed Fun Images, a screensaver, some Colouring Pages, and four Booktastic Books.
  • The event was hinted at as early as the 1st May, where the Daily Puzzle question "What natural disaster took place that allowed us to discover Tyrannia?" had a possible answer "A meteor hit Kreludor".
