Cute Pets

It is no light thing to be called cute by the keepers, who are hard people and have been bitten by most of what they keep. They give the name to six creatures only, and they give it gravely. A bunny has it, and a duck, and a turkey, which surprises the turkey's acquaintance.

The turtles are of the family too, the small one and the giant; and it is agreed that the giant turtle is the most that cuteness has yet been asked to cover. Last is the sea monkey, hardly to be seen at all, which drifts in the air beside its master and holds more magic than its master is likely to.

Details

• Commonest to rarest, with their young: Bunny (bunny whelp), Turkey (poult), Duck (duckling), Turtle (hatchling turtle), Giant Turtle (hatchling turtle), Sea Monkey (sea monkey larva).
• Their eggs are soft and fuzzy. They are found in treasure, and the rarer ones are seldom seen in the treasure of low levels.
• The turkey and the duck have wings but do not fly until they are taught. The sea monkey is born flying.
• The sea monkey learns magical tricks only, and the giant turtle few. Of the tricks the rest can be taught, half or more are magical.
