Raves for... my cat. I'm not a crazy cat lady (I swear), but after 4 years of having this beautiful old guy (who is 13 now), he still does things that amuse me for days afterward.
Ah, right, I forgot about the widows - though they only attack you if you're in the trees. I don't usually run around on tree level, so I forgot about them.
It's one spider, and it's dirt easy to kill for anyone but newbies (though they won't attack if said newbie is under Innocence, of course). Only thing I find annoying about it is the stink it leaves that you might not notice if you're ninja-walking …
On a Glom-politics unrelated note, I'm going on a (very) last-minute, spontaneous camping trip! I'll be leaving Monday, so I'll be fairly scarce until next weekend (possibly longer due to work).
Gryphons at least (as well as basilisks and chimaeras) were only available through the Czigany Wayfaire, though other players might be selling them as well.
Raves for a certain someone letting me help them with a certain something that really (enjoyably) exercises my writing skills. There's a reason I'm getting things done so quickly!
