When Rupert Samarillo (of Recreational Horticulture fame) opens the door to daytime clients it seems a bit more like an act of self preservation. Too many animals in too small a space is never a good idea, and when your shop has a selection of the Lord's failed chimeras in it, you do anything to get some air and get them sold. Such as lie. Everything from the Unfortunately Accurate Parrot to the Completely Non-Aerodynamic Cougar was something that Rupert Samarillo bagged himself while in Africa! Naturally, he keeps a stock of totally fabricated user manuals and cobbled-together animal feed behind his desks, but be prepared; he's trying to fund his latest research safari to the Sahara, so he's charging a pretty penny for his wondrous beasts and is seeking to hire a clerk, as well!

Stock

Unfortunately Accurate Parrot: A colorful scarlet macaw, this bird remembers and repeats everything said before it each day in perfect mimicry of those speaking. Unfortunately, it precedes all daily repetitions with, "You're going to go out there and find out what those plebian idiots are saying about me, okay?" in the Lord Spellcarver's voice. Price: 7 Gold

The Nearly Sabertooth Rabbit: This rabbit appears to be just a normal bunny, with normal teeth. Samarilloo claims it is a rare one of a kind hybrid between a rabbit and the thought to be extinct sabertoothed hare. Price: 6 Gold

The Corgipede : This elongated dog has 12 legs on each side, and is extremely friendly as she tramples and oozes over all furniture in her way up to try to lick at your face. A very waggly, happy animal, it still has fragile health and if carried requires a special sling to support that long, long spine. Price: 9 Gold

The Overly Sensitive Iguana: A green iguana, Samarillo warns that the reptile is very sensitive to insults and will sulk if people fight around it. Price: 8 Gold

The Auditorily Enhanced Basset Hound: This basset hound's ears are a half a foot longer than they should be normally. While this does not appear to give the canine better hearing, she often trips over them, and if they are not tied back they can develop sores from dragging on the ground. Samarillo says she can hear a rabbit's heart beating from a mile away. Price 9 Gold

Pretrained Prestigious Potatoes!: Clearly just the garden-variety potato-person that has been picked up off of the street, Samarillo ("No, no! They grow like this! Very special!") has inserted into the potato's skin a few spangly wires or other baubles to make these look very shiny and bejeweled. Taught to carry small items and follow a person around, no single potato can lift more than 14 ounces (400 grams). Price: 2 Gold
