What do you guys use Poipoles and Naganadels for, aside from protection and companionship? It seems as if they're common and liked for their charming temperaments, but having a mischievous poison-spewing sprite/wasp-dragon around seems like it can cause a few problems if they're not well socialised. Can their poison be used for industrial use? Speaking of poison, with the problem of Nihilego around, have you Ultra Megalopians evolved to be naturally more resistant to the toxins of your UBs?
“Commonly, they’re pets,” Dulse answers. “Though many Ultra Beasts are suitable for living at home or performing menial tasks, Poipole are some of the easiest to work with. They are well known for being good with children, assuming they can mind their stingers around them.”
The Poipole that Dulse has bobs around his head curiously, occasionally stopping to tug at locks of hair that happen to be sticking out from his helmet.
“The venom that Poipole excretes isn’t life threatening to Megalopians–it may cause a bit of dizziness or sweating, but it certainly cannot kill you. Though indeed mischievous, Poipole do seem to feel guilt when they harm those they are attached to so issues like those are not often a problem here. I’m unsure if it’s the same for humans of Earth…”
He stops for a few minutes to consider it. They have been living under very different situations, and with much different creatures. It’s possible that human biology isn’t quite so resistant…
He clears his throat. Poipole squeaks cheerily.
“Naganadel is almost exclusively seen in construction work here. The adhesive it creates is heat, cold, and weather resistant, which makes it excellent material for building new homes and such. Unlike Poipole, Naganadel’s toxin is quite dangerous if stung or otherwise ingested, which is why they’re seldom seen without a skilled handler or partner.”
“Nihilego are rare here. The URS will not often venture into the Ultra Deep Sea,” he says. “Humans and Megalopians share the issue that Nihilego toxin is rather deadly to our central nervous systems and brain functionality. There was a project a few years back where scientists harvested and tried to distill Nihilego venom for medicinal purposes…ah…it…did not go so well.”
Though it’s seldom seen these days with fewer trips to the Ultra Deep Sea being made, on occasion the toxin turns up during parties and events as a recreational drug…it’s generally frowned upon, and Dulse keeps his mouth shut about it.
This planet shouldn’t get any ideas.
