Museum of Natural History (VI)

New additions to the Museum of Natural History have taken place!

The Flora room keeps expanding with two new rare vegetables on display, these vegetables are considered by many as forbidden fruits given their high level of lethality if consumed. It is not a surprise then to learn that they are oftentimes smuggled along with other contraband items. Beyond their social value, little is known about their exact properties yet, their formidable likeness with Plaitfruits, Flurr-Cle Onions and Kavasa Fruits (all displayed in the museum) may be a clue to their family.

Among the "tools of the trade", a worklight has been added to the general display of the Exploration room. While lamps come in all sizes and shapes - a glowrod is also exhibited - this particular model is quite popular with spelunkers and miners.

Finally, a live durni has been recovered from a criminal gang known as Meatlumps. The creature is going well, but prefers to remain in its cage until it gets accustomed to the Museum. Children and parents alike can come and greet Baxter during the Museum opening hours.
