VII. THE BEAST MARKET

Caged things. Scaled things. Things that have been transported a very long way and are not happy about it.

🦜 Wings & Scales

Exotic Animals & Familiars Proprietor: A collective of three merchants who rotate the stand and refuse to introduce themselves, saying only: "we are Wings & Scales"

Creatures from across Faerûn and beyond — some straightforward to own, some occupying a grey area of Ka'limport law, all expensive.

Standard Stock:

Riding horses, camels, pack mules — standard prices
Trained messenger birds — 10–25 gp
Domesticated exotic pets — 20–100 gp

Unique Creatures (limited availability):

~~Sand Drake Hatchling~~ — A tiny, flightless drake the size of a large cat. Immune to fire and capable of a small fire breath (recharges on a long rest). Untrained — will require patience and work. — 400 gp
~~Mirror Moth~~ — A hand-sized moth with wings that reflect light like polished silver. Capable of producing Dancing Lights several times a day. Popular as a luxury familiar. Extremely fragile. — 150 gp
Bottled Sandstorm Scorpion — A deep-desert scorpion whose sting delivers a powerful hallucinogenic venom in addition to its natural toxin. Sold only in sealed glass containers. Handle with care. — 200 gp

🐪 Al-Hammadi's Mounts

Working Animals & Mounts Proprietor: Old Hammadi, who has sold camels for forty years and maintains that camels are deeply misunderstood

Riding animals, pack beasts, and — if you ask carefully and prove you can handle one — a small selection of more unusual mounts.

Standard Stock:

Riding camels — 50 gp
Pack camels — 35 gp
Desert horses (smaller, heat-tolerant) — 75 gp
Tack, saddles, barding — standard prices

Unique Mount:

~~Dust-Who-Walks~~ — A single white camel, old as Hammadi's oldest stories. She has never once refused to cross terrain that turned back other animals — sand seas, rockfall, flooded wadis. She seems to navigate by something other than sight. A rider with her gains a significant edge navigating the deep desert. Hammadi haggles poorly when it comes to this one. — 250 gp
