A Taxidermy Kit can be used to make Taxidermy Specimens and other fun things out of dead animals. By adding creature remnants to the kit, they can form the basis of a specimen or other object, depending on which unlocks the kit has. Unlocks are available a la carte, allowing for a wide variety of options for creations. Taxidermy Kits debuted at the 2025 Ebon Gate festival and are sold in The Old Ossuary in Evermore Hollow. They were created by GM Avaluka. OTS Taxidermy KitOff the shelf, a taxidermy kit can store creature remnant parts and make basic Taxidermy Specimens from them. Most "animal" creature types can be harvested for creature remnant, but they first must be killed. Gathering creature remnants from a dead creature will destroy its pelt in the process. To gather creature remnants, wear the Taxidermy Kit, hold a knife in one hand, and use DROP/PUT {CREATURE} IN KIT.AnalyzeYou analyze the taxidermy kit and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
--Taxidermy Kit--
==General Information==
This taxidermy kit is a special object that stores remnants from huntable creatures. These remains can be made into taxidermy specimens and other items.
It requires acid or blood magic to be able to preserve creature parts; it can gain charges from crystal, bloodwood wands, as well as spells of the appropriate type.
Some creations made with this kit require stuffing, as well, which can be made by DROPping in foraged cotton bolls or scrap pieces of fabric.
==Alteration Guidelines==
* Alterations to the taxidermy kit's 15/15/15 and long description are fine, though it must remain a "taxidermy kit". It also cannot take a show.
* The kit is supposed to have an interior made of metal and an exterior made of fabric or leather/suede.
* The material of the interior, the material of the exterior, and the adjective/material for the toggles can be customized by any willing merchant.
==Features==
* Creature Remnant Slots [5 out of 25 Unlocked]
While having a dagger in one hand, DROP a dead creature into your taxidermy kit to store its remains. This requires there to be enough acid/blood magic to preserve the remnants.
You can GAZE at the kit to see a list of your remnant slots, and TURN the kit to switch to a different remnant slot.
* Taxidermy Specimens [Unlocked]
These are taxidermied versions of the creature remnant stored. It requires stuffing to create these unless it is a skeleton or skull.
They can be PLACEd on the ground as a prop or displayed in a private property.
Sub-Types Unlocked: Full Body, Head.
* Stuffed Puppy Toys [Locked]
Creates a stuffed version of a puppy toy out of the creature remains. This requires a charge of stuffing to create.
Sub-Types Unlocked: Creature Remnant Noun.
* Sock Puppet [Locked]
Creates an OTS version of a Sock Puppet using the creature remnants. The puppet itself is considered to be made of leather, with the skin of the chosen remnant being used to make the puppet's hair.
Sub-Types Unlocked: Creature Remnant Noun.
* Rugs [Locked]
Creates a rug made out of the skin of the chosen creature remnant. These rugs can be PLACEd in the room or at-feet; additionally, you can SIT on them.
Sub-Types Unlocked: <creature remnant noun> <fur/skin/feather> rug, <creature remnant noun> <skin/hide> rug, <pattern> <color> rug.
* Articles [Locked]
If unlocked, you can change the article of your potential creation with PEDAL.
* Post-Noun (Long) Descriptions [Locked]
If unlocked, you can change the post-noun (long) description of your creations with TWIST. You can also toggle the post-noun description showing up at all with COVER.
* Adornments [Pelts=Locked, Decoration=Locked, Eyes=Locked]
If unlocked, you can add gems/metal/wood/glass to use for eyes, pelts/hides for trim, and antlers/horns/teeth/bones for extra decoration.
These additions will open more options for articles and post-noun descriptions, if available.
* Dye [Locked]
If unlocked, you can POUR cobbling or alchemy dye into the taxidermy kit and dye your creations.
Your taxidermy kit has access to the following commands:
DROP/PUT (add remnants/supplies), TURN (change remnant slot), CLEAN (empties currently selected option), FLIP (change creation sub-type if available), PUSH (create object with current settings).
Additionally you can use INSPECT on the kit to get a wealth of information on how your next creation will appear, as well as GAZE to view the status of all the kit's creature remnant slots.
==Current Settings==
* Exterior Material: suede
* Interior Material: steel
* Toggle Adjective/Material: round bone
You get no sense of whether or not the kit may be further lightened.Usage

By default, the Taxidermy Kit can make head and full body subtypes. Additional specimen subtypes may have their own certificates. There are separate certificates for "skeleton or skull" taxidermy specimens and "massive" taxidermy specimens. Massive specimens include wyrms, and this unlock allows for a full size taxidermy specimen to be made from it instead of just the head.WerePuppy Toy UnlockThis unlock allows for the creation of WerePuppy Toys via a Taxidermy Kit.Sock Puppet UnlockThis unlock allows for the creation of Sock Puppets via a Taxidermy Kit. Sock Puppets created via a kit are OTS/Tier 1 but can be unlocked individually, like store purchased Sock Puppets.Creature Noun UnlockThis unlocks the ability to save a creature noun with POINT for optional use with WerePuppy Toys or Sock Puppets made with a Taxidermy Kit.Usage

Adornments UnlockIf unlocked, you can add extra adornments to use for eyes, trim, and extra decoration. These additions will open more options for articles and for post-noun descriptions. Either the article unlock or the post-noun unlock must be applied to the Taxidermy Kit first before any adornment unlocks can be added. There are separate certificates to add different types of adornment options to a Taxidermy Kit. One certificate adds the ability to include gems/metal/wood/glass as eyes. Another certificate adds the ability to include antlers/horns/teeth/bones as decoration. A third adds the ability to include pelts/hides as decoration.Usage

Additional InformationInspect InformationINSPECT can be used to preview the current creation as well as all options available for the current selection. This includes a long list of point and click options if using Wrayth with links enabled. Looking closely at the taxidermy kit, you inspect it in minute detail.
It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of leather, an extremely common material.
The sharp scent of acid and blood rises from the taxidermy kit, giving some indication that it has some magic left. Based on the strength of the odor, you estimate it can preserve 3 more creature remnants before needing to be recharged.
