== Present Opening ==
"Nice" presents can include additional instances of the [[Mystery Gift]], [[Inspirations#Winter Event|Present]] inspirations, pieces of [[Candy Cane Salvage]], or sometimes a Present ''and'' a Candy Cane.
=== Nice ===
Nice results will be rewarded with one of the following:
* A [[Build Snow Beast]] temporary power and [[Candy Cane Salvage]]
* A [[Duplicating Gift]] temporary power and [[Candy Cane Salvage]]
* An [[Instant Snowstorm]] temporary power and [[Candy Cane Salvage]]
* A [[Mystery Gift]] temporary power and [[Candy Cane Salvage]]
* A random [[Inspirations#Winter_Event_Inspirations|Present Inspiration]] and [[Candy Cane Salvage]]
* A [[Snowball]] temporary power and [[Candy Cane Salvage]]


"Naughty" presents spawn groups of [[Winter Horde]], whose spawn size is based on team members. Use caution when opening presents away from teammates.
=== Naughty ===
 
[[File:Winter Lord.jpg|100px|right|thumb|<center>Winter Lord]]
Changed in the [[Winter Event 2009|2009 event]], when enough {{red|(need number)}} presents have been opened in any zone, a [[Winter Lord]] (Giant Monster) will spawn (previously, Winter Lord spawns were random occurrences on large teams). When the Winter Lord is defeated, he leaves behind a huge present (marked on the map) and a timer starts counting down. Anyone who clicks on the huge present before the timer reaches zero will be teleported to [[Lord Winter]]'s realm when the timer reaches 0:00. Here, they face off against Lord Winter and his Winter Guardians and will earn [[Candy Cane]]s, [[Reward Merit]]s, and the [[Lord of Winter Badge|Lord/Lady of Winter]] badge for defeating Lord Winter.
Naughty results will be ambushed by a group of [[Winter Horde]] leveled to the zone. If opened by a team of five or more members, there is a chance that the ambush will instead be a [[Winter Lord]] [[Giant Monster]].
