Favorite Extinct Animal: Tullimonstrum
Having been brought to life via Gaia’s magic by complete accident, The Paleonomicon has been unleashed. This sentient tome not only serves as Mary’s personal journal and Bestiary, she also uses him to unleash devastating spells and curses. On the other side, she really can’t contain the chaos that this paged fiend regularly causes. With a penchant for pranks, mischief, and mayhem, The Palenomicon’s favorite pastime is pulling off pranks that defy logic, especially with Shelley and her inventions. Another one of this prankster’s abilities is being able to conjure and summon extinct animals from within his pages. From the smallest armored fish to the largest titanosaur, if there’s any animal that Mary wants to summon, she’s got the perfect tool to do so. However, as a way to keep the Paleonomicon under control to some extent, Mary is the only one to use the ability, as she would need to be present in order for the ability to properly operate.
Outside of aiding Mary and the others with their missions, the Paleonomicon also has his own side-job; being a dealer for the Coven’s animals during a night of poker. Don’t ask us how they’re able to understand things like poker, but Tater-Tot and the other main animals of the Coven hold weekly poker games, with the Paleonomicon being their dealer. Again, don’t ask how; it’s a long story.
