Pets

Esparnia has an interesting group of pets, allow me to go through them with you as when the Gelfling left the mainland they took there animals with them

Common Fizzgig these are actuality rare on Esparnia as they have evolved and become white and now have the new name of Nigig the Nigig has bigger teeth that can shovel the ground they are used to find animals under the snow and most Gelfling have them as house pets.

Mogs if the Fizzgig and Nigig are the dogs of Thra then Mogs are the cats, Mogs and are used to find Crawlies and other small animals under the snow they also have a wide mouth much like Fizzgigs but there teeth are reverted much like a pythons and when they bite its very hard to get them to let go unless their master or mistress tells them to release hold.

Snow Whouf's are descended from the mainland Whouf's and have white skin now to blend in with the snow, they are still used for shepherding and herd the Esparnia Mounders which are white unlike their mainland ancestors and are essential as their fur is needed to make warm clothing to keep out the bitter cold.  

Crawlies there are two types of Crawlies on both Esparnia and on the mainland and you really shouldn't get them mixed up. Glow Crawlies are seen as a pets for little Gelfling children its the first pet most of them get before they later grow up and get a Mog or an Nigig. Glow Crawlies are used by Gelfling for seeing in dark places as Gelfling sight is best in day light but not so good in the pitch black and its takes a long time for their eyes to adjust to that kind of dark.

Common Crawlies on the other hand are farmed on mass by everyone on Esparnia they are considered a stable food though unlike the Skeksis they are always eaten dead unless you live in the desert that is and have to eat and run. It is considered offensive to offer them up on a plate to the native Podlings though as they can't stand them because unlike the Gelfling they find them far to salty and tasteless and they also class them as annoying vermin as they are always trying to hide under there sleeping Landstriders.
