A Mover & Shaker invasion
A Cog Invasion is an event that causes a specific Cog to invade a district. They may occur randomly, but tend to be triggered with the use of a cog summon. Toons will gain double experience points for gags when they defeat a Cog during an invasion. The length of an invasion is supposedly random, with the exception of prolonged Mega-Invasions.
Cog Summons
- Main page: Cog Summons
A cog summon is a reward which grants a Toon the ability to either summon a specific Cog, cog building or cog invasion. They are granted by Bumpy Bumblebehr if the Chief Justice is successfully defeated. The rewarded summon is random, however, cannot be a summon that is already being carried. A cog summon can be used by opening the "Cog Gallery" page in the Shticker Book, and clicking on a small button next to a Cog's face and selecting a summoning option.
API
Toontown Rewritten has its own invasions API, which provides an updated list of invasions by districts. The API, available in the JSON format, provides information about the invading Cog type (and also mentions if it is a Skelecog or a Version 2.0 Cog invasion), the size of the invasion, its progress, and the time at which the API, as well as the invasion data for each district, was last updated. The API allows retreiving the invasion data from other websites as well. If an error occurs, the API only returns the error.
