UFO Symbol

UFO
Very Rare
Gives 4
Removes adjacent Chickens, Cows, and Farmers. Destroys adjacent Moons. Permanently gives 3 coins for each symbol removed.

Not part of any group.

Represented by a gray UFO made from scratch with little bright pixel-sized lights.

I recommend just winging it, but wrote some strategy notes:

The UFO is a 4per very rare symbol that destroys Moons and abducts the two rare animal symbols associated with Farmers, and also Farmers themselves, gaining 3 coins per spin for each one taken; much more than the 1 gained by other eaters. That said, it only gets this gain from 4 rare symbols, plus 1 common and 1 uncommon symbol after they grow. And finally, a symbol that can smash Moons into Cheese symbols without destroying other symbols indescriminately!

Being Very Rare, the UFO won't always show up, but when it does, it offers up 4 base coins right off the bat. Of course, if your run relies on the symbols it abducts or destroys, then it may do more harm than good, even with the extra permanent coins it gains.

The most obviously fortunate time for a UFO to pop up is during an Egg and Chicken run that isn't working out; that is, when the Egg Carton and Frying Pan items don't appear. The UFO symbol will consolidate all of these underperforming Chickens into a single high-value symbol, and take care of the Egg and Chick symbols once they mature.

A Pear and Farmer combo devalues UFO symbols. Once the Farmer symbol(s) are abducted, the Pear(s) will no longer get permanent bonuses from them. This is less of a problem if there are Arrow and Chef symbols on the reels to pick up the slack.

Cow symbols still have a chance of producing Milk symbols before they are abducted, and Chicken symbols still have a scarce chance of producing Eggs.

Also, Cheese!

The UFO doesn't belong to any groups, so it's unaffected by any non-universal interactions from symbols or items it doesn't abduct or destroy.
