The pups are taken from their den very early, and their horns are repeatedly sliced off as they grow so that they will always be stunted. Domesticated pups only grow to be about four to five feet in height and about six to seven feet in length. They are fiercely loyal once they grow up with a master from such a young age. Pups can be male or female, and neutered or spayed. Cost: v200 STARLING PANTHER KITTEN: One of the most beautiful and dangerous creatures of the world, Starling Panthers are considered endangered because their fur is possibly the softest fur in the animal kingdom. However, that’s not what makes them so valuable: what makes them valuable is the soft white dapple spots on their black fur that light up in the darkness. They are very willowy and slim in build, and are about a foot and a half to two feet in height, and half a foot in width. As kittens they are declawed and sold as pets, typically to nobles with a fancy for exotic and beautiful animals. Cost: v200 UMBRAS: Umbras are said to be the inspiration for shades in Aureolian theology. They are palm-sized black creatures that seem almost shapeless; rather, they are constantly changing shape. They have white, clear eyes and always need to be in the darkness, so they tend to latch onto their master‘s shadows and hide in them. Umbras are said to inspire the worst in others because they cause people to think about the darkness in their lives. There is something about Umbras that inspires violence, rage, jealousy, greed, depression, and lust in others depending on the person. Umbras are neither male nor female. Cost: v300 CONCLAVE EGGS: Eggs from the Conclave of Birds are illegal to sell. Of course, this being the black market, anything illegal has a price. Poachers take the rare eggs from their nests and sell them in baskets of sand on the black market. No one really knows what sort of creature lies in every egg, but you will know that the creature you get will be special since birds from the Conclaves possess special abilities. (NOTE: An egg will hatch five days within the purchase date! You do not control what sort of bird you get. That is up to the mod‘s discretion.) Cost: v300

Cost: v50 GUNS: Guns come in all shapes, sizes, and models here! They’re displayed like jewels on colorful blankets. They're all handguns and shotguns though, as the heavy duty artillery is strictly kept by collectors and H.A.W.K ships. Cost: v100 SPIRA: Invented by the same creator of the wisper. A spira is a small silver and brass sphere that when thrown at an enemy or series of enemies opens up to reveal several tiny blades or ‘teeth‘ that will cut through flesh and cloth. Spiras do not attack their masters due to recognizing their blood and body heat signature when given a drop of blood before their activation. A spira won‘t stop until all foreign parties have been attacked or if its master gives it a voice command to stop. Cost: v200 EXPLOSIVES: Ropes of explosives are sold in bundles for those who like to make things go boom. Cost: v250 CYBORG BLADE UPGRADE: Allows a cyborg to equip a blade to any outside cyber part of their body. Cost: v300 CYBORG MILITARY UPGRADE: Allows a cyborg to equip a gun to any outside cyber part of their body. Cost: v350
