Bigclaw

While waiting for a few Springfield Heights quests I decided to go around and tap my can’t go on tasks characters. I recently got Bigclaw not sure from where bug when I tapped the character it screeched which I expected but them it “spat” 2 pharmaceuticals and bolted right before my eyes and I was and am in awe to say the least. I followed him again and tapped and he did it again. Around the third time, when tapped he flashed red I guess to symbolise that he was out of pills. Are there any other characters that possess this ability because that was an interesting discovery 😃

    Dunno about others but you can get 3 rewards a day from Bigclaw, that might be cash, XP or pills.
    All the other NPCs that spring to mind just have an animation or sound when tapped if they do anything.

    @1EllieG7294 - do they show signs like the Spruckler kids or KL visitors do when they're ready to pay out or do you need to hunt them down and see if they'll give you anything ??
    ( I'll have a hard time searching for the little blighters in my town if they don't work with an IRS tap on something nearby. If there's no way to know without finding and tapping each one, oh well . . . )

    They don't show signs, you have to hunt them down like big claw

    To make it easier to follow him, quickly tap on the Edit button, then hit the Buildings and Decorations buttons to dim them out.

    After you tap bigclaw for the third time, store him. Wait 24 hours, then take him out storage. It makes finding him easier. I stopped doing this a long time ago. I only tap him now when I happen to see him, and I no longer follow him. Its a good trick if you need pills.

    Most of my NPCs are somewhere in this mess !! . . .
    The trouble is they just get in each other's way, even if you spot the one you want to tap it usually hits something else entirely - often nowhere near the actual tap ?!?

    Chippy the poker chip is technically an npc as you can't send him on tasks but he pays out cash & I think one of the spuckler kids that Brandine gave birth to also does the same.

    All 3 of the Spuckler kids pay out every 4 hours.
