All-Hallows Pets

At All-Hallows the dead are restless, and it is held in Alora that the souls of lost pets are abroad with the rest, looking for a body. In Newbie Town a baker named Valery keeps such souls in jars along her wall. She says that to do more for them borders on the necromantic, and is forbidden her; and a spirit kitten darts about the square outside her door.

Those that find bodies are these: the spirit kitten, pale and half seen; the death crow, which is bones and flies regardless; the zombie toad, which smells; and the severed hand, which creeps, and carries things, and is the strongest of the four.

Details

• Four species: Spirit Kitten, Death Crow, Zombie Toad and Severed Hand. The young have no name of their own.
• They come with the All-Hallows festival and are not found in treasure. Their eggs are skull-shaped and bone.
• The death crow is born flying. The severed hand is born knowing how to carry objects and how to trip.
• About half the tricks they can be taught are magical ones.
