Still-moka
Contents
Overview
A reagent / poison gained in very specific circumstances.
Availability
Very rare, very expensive.
Harvesting
The gestation period of the freakish Spulmokawarta "tends to be around six months with litters of 3 to 5 living puppies and several stillborn most common." During this time, a slain female will surrender a quantity of amniotic fluid that can be used as a powerful mutagen. Some features of the bodies of the stillborn pups, if saved from being devoured by their litter mates, also possess this capability.
Fluid vs Stillborn
The primary difference between these two sources is that the fluid causes entirely random mutations, whereas the newborn's body parts cause fairly predictable mutations, stemming from the features of the parts rendered down into filtered blood plasma, spinal fluids or what have you.
Cultural View
It is only the fact that this creature is considered monstrous that the sev'ryn do not frown too heavily on the gathering of this element. Still, it is not an endorsed pursuit, and is often interfered with.
Cost
The overall ferocity of the creature itself plus the demand for this powerful chemical make it very costly. In Desnind it is available to buy only for those of a Wealthy Wealth Tier or above.
