Introduced at Ebon Gate in 2002, Dead Pets are usually found as prizes or raffle items. Typically coming with a show, the dead pet can come in a large variety of options from serpents (only one that can be worn), avians (have wings), and any other small animal. They should never be larger than a small to medium-sized animal.
