The cause is changing `"FARFETCH'D"` to `"Farfetch'd"`, because `'d` is actually a single character. The fix is to pad its name to the same length as all the rest with an `@`, so that it becomes `"Farfetch'd@"`. + + +## Prevent NPCs' heads from flipping when they walk down + +When NPCs walk up or down, they flip horizontally every other frame to create the alternating left-right step animation.
