You cock your head curiously as your eye notices that one of the remaining prizes includes 'a mythical beast of your own choosing' and inquisitively turn to the shop proprietor "Is that any mythical beast?"
The proprietor salaciously rubs his hands together "Yes sir, the magic in that box can make you any magical beast you may possibly want"
You scratch your beard deep in thought thinking of all the possibilities, you already own a rather sweet mermaid and some other mythical creature could prove a lovely accompaniment to her. You look back at the proprietor wondering what the catch is as this gift seems so much more valuable that the other mangy offerings "So tell me are beasts created healthy and attractive?"

Your raise your arms to calm him "Sorry I did not mean to offend and your point is valid"
The proprietor somewhat settled then adds "In addition the spell can be used now or taken with you to gift to someone else, but the type of beast must be set before you leave here, so what beast would you like to be made?"
