1091. Prized Eggs

'Mud Skinned alligator egg

This is a very rare mud skinned alligator egg. They rarely show themselves since they prefer to hide on the silty bottom of ponds or low rivers. They hate fast water and they often hunt for birds trying to catch fish. They are very valuable since they constantly shed their skin which is a very useful crafting material. Unfortunately, they are very susceptible to illness and that has led to them being an extremely rare monster.'

It was an understandable reason for the mud skinned alligator egg to be rare. If it was susceptible to illness because of its skin then it would have a very hard time surviving in standing water. Walker read off his appraisal and Ash seemed to understand. "I had hoped that it wouldn't be one. I doubt I can find a proper home for it. Maybe a nobles' or rich merchant child will become a tamer one day." This seemed to be the only hope for the egg since when it hatched it would need constant care.
