Tbh I would die for Bovril
Can't quite get the hang of a shorter/thinner muzzle, but here's Bovril!

The Perspicacious Lorises
Art by Keith Thompson
So wait...
It never is explicit in Leviathan what the lorises are for. My best guess is that they were, through their helpful influence, meant to guide Clanker leaders toward Darwinist thinking - hence Barlow wanting the Sultan bonded to one, and wanting one to bond to Alek.
Guys, I finished the Leviathan trilogy yesterday and now I really, really want a perspicacious loris.
Perspicacious
Alek stared at the Beast, recalling what had happened in the cargo bay. The creature had sat on Klopp's shoulder all night, listening to everything, rolling words like"magnetism" and "electrikals" around in its mouth. And then it had plucked Dr. Barlow's necklace from her and demonstrated the purpose of the strange device.
That's how the Beast's Perspicaciousness worked. It Listened, then somehow drew everything together into a neat Bundle.

And then, without a Perspicacious Loris whispering the truth into his ear, he finally understood. She hadn't come to Istanbul as a Soldier at all. And she never would have revealed her secret to Alek, for the simplest reason in the world. Deryn Sharp was in Love with him.
