(originality marker rules applies for photos)

My Originality Marker: Nibbler
My very own magical creature given to me last Christmas as a gift from Rowena.

Item #1: Gloves
To be used for handling creatures that would be dangerous to touch with bare skin. Helps to protect from bites, burn, poisons, and other potential harmful ailments to the hands.

Item #2: Goggles
The goggles are two-fld in their use. One use is they are perfect for wearing to see underwater in order to care for magical creatures who live in the water. The other use being they're protective eye wear in case a creature spits something rather nasty into your eyes.

Item #3: A Mesh Bag
A mesh bag has multiple uses for care of magical creatures. It can be used as a net to catch creatures, or as a bag to carry around supplies.

Item #4: A leash
To be used for walking around creatures in captivity so that they get exercise and aren't so cooped up that they wind up killing or injuring each other. (Side Note: Not recommended for blast-ended skrewts.)

Item 5: A bass guitar
Used to lull dangerous three-headed creatures to sleep musically.
