Yep that's a snake! 

"Yes." ...now it's in a box. "Are they venomous?"

"- honestly I was assuming they were magic - if they're not scaling the potion might be tractable - no idea -"

Computer computer - "Nope, Revelation has those. And they are in fact deadly venomous, that's fun."

"Ooops. In that case they only have one definitely-magical ingredient - the bicorn horn - and we could probably breed a ton of them if we turn out to need it -"

"Bicorns? There are bicorns?"

"Yes? What, does Revelation have fiction about them? That's weird."

"No, we don't! We have fiction about unicorns."

"Those exist too."

"Bet you Amriac wants to see unicorns. Do they have a thing about virgins?"

"Not that I know of. Should they?"

"Part of the mythos back home."

"They typically like girls better than boys but I wouldn't expect that to be the explanation. I am sure Amriac can have a meet-and-greet."

"Do they issue greetings, are unicorns sapient?"

"Not that I know of. Killing them for personal gain is super dark magic but that only loosely tracks ethical import, in my experience."

"Are you allowed to kill them for other reasons?"

"It's not legal but it's not overtly associated with horrible rituals in which you sacrifice pieces of your sanity and other peoples' lives for unhappy longevity."

"Unhappy longevity?"

"Yeah, it's supposed to be a 'cursed half-life'. I haven't actually looked into it much; might've when I was older."

"Well, it certainly has terrible ad copy, at any rate."

"Perhaps the publicists were looking out for the concerns of the unicorns."

"They're charismatic megafauna if anything is. I assume. Maybe unicorns are actually really ugly."

"No, no, very pretty. Shiny and fluffy at the same time."

"Aww."

"I can introduce you to a unicorn, too, if you want."
