Present

Cities
Presents spawned during the Christmas Update at random locations in the major cities of Tyria (Ascalon City, Lion's Arch, Droknar's Forge), simply lying on the ground. They could be picked up and carried around. When given to a child (some had names, others were simply called Young Child), the child would give a Winter Gift back in exchange. However, this had to be done quickly, because at the same time several Grentches were running around those cities, destroying the presents. As soon as a new present spawned, the Grentches would run towards the location where it appeared. If a player had already picked it up, the Grentches would continue to pursue the player. If they reached the present before it reaches a child, the present would explode (not dealing any damage).

Dwayna Vs Grenth
In the Dwayna Vs Grenth PvP game, there are two types of Presents, real and fake, which are visually identical.

The object of the PvP game is to take 5 real Presents either to Dwayna for the children or to Grenth for the Grentches, depending on the assigned team of the player. Fake presents are booby traps which explode when picked up, and damage the player for 250 health.
