If he drinks a certain vial from an Island Event, he will change appearance to that of an ordinary villager. So, even though he is still the Golden Child, he will no longer have his special appearance and will look like the other villagers.

Is it possible for an Island event to kill off the Golden Child ? (don't think im cruel i am really quite nice )

Yes. There are several discussions about that in this forum.

I know of one, but should I say it in this topic? Or will that be too much of a spoiler.

This is a Spoiler topic anyway

Well, there's the island of pearls I think that could get rid of him. But it's a long time since I had that event.

Dang i want an event to get rid of him lol!

It was rather by accident that he drank something.
An event came up and I accidentally clicked the first option not minding it was Kiko, the GC. I think it was the one that makes the villager lose skill.

And as you may have noted, I am a newbie and I dont know yet how to post pictures. I clicked on the tips provided by our friendly virtual friends but havent gotten around to doing it.

Yeah I still have cute brown-haired Kiko running and creating berries though I have now finished vv2 after 26 triplets and 3 runners alive. you should see how fast I make stews:)

An other little tip: put a space before and after your smiley, like that: "you should see how fast I make stews "
