Umbris has a minion!

Vain the Ixtove

You suddenly find yourself in the back room of Euclid's lab as you wait for him to strap your poor pet in to the zapper. From the shadows you see a figure appear pulling its body with muscled arms. Two big golden eyes glow from the eye sockets of a skull, they look you over up and down. The creature's snake-like tongue tastes the air before it finally addresses you. "You don't belong here..." The deep raspy voice startles you slightly as you look around to figure out where 'here' is. A faint snarl could be heard from the creature to deter you from venturing much further into the back room. Euclid calls you back to the zapper, your pet was safely strapped into place. You decide to heed this grumpy creature's warning and turn your attention back to the zapper.

Determined to change this pet of yours into something more appealing, you strap on some safety goggles and stand next to Euclid behind a wall of safety glass. From the corner of your eye you can see the green claws and golden eyes of the mysterious creature peer from the back room to watch the scene that was about to unfold. Pulling the switch you watch in silence as the pet you know and love is suddenly transformed into... UGH! WHAT IS THAT MONSTROSITY?!? You fork over the wizard tokens and help Euclid unstrap your pet while you cry a little on the inside. With a smirk on his face Euclid shows you the door and tells you if you want to try again you have to go to the back of the line. As you leave you glance at this line of his and sigh, it would be another 2 hours before you get in to see him again.

"I was right again! Ha!" Euclid laughed as he looked to one of his old experiments. "Umbris do you seriously think I would turn their pets into what they want? We would lose business you know! We have quite the gig you and I! Well more I..." He laughed a bit more before he cleared his throat and welcomed the next stupid sap.

Everyday was the same, there was always a line of people waiting to get in to see Euclid for his amazing zapper. Little did people know when they'd come to visit him that he purposely would turn your pet into the last thing you could possibly want. If you ever did get the pet you wanted, well you visited Euclid when he was in a good mood (From what I gather that is quite rare). Euclid now ran the only zapper in Subeta, the one and only 'TRUE' zapper. Umbris understood that to keep food on the table people needed to come back as return customers, but he never liked how the place was run. Only recently they started to take real money instead of tokens, this was to give people more false hope they would get that rare elusive pet breed they wanted.
