The tortle scratches his chin at her question, recalling what he knows of the creature, and relating it as best he can. For him its less a serious matter of concern, and more a mild point of trivia. The whole idea of one sentient being owning another seems fairly alien to him, and he says as much.<br/><br/>"Well, I've never seen one myself, but I did hear stories of them from other druids.  They are supposed to be quite large, larger even than me, more on the scale with say a draft horse, or the size of the table. As one would expect from such a creature they are quite strong, and made of plantlike material, which means, I assume, that they are plants, or at least closely tied to them. They are not very smart, at least not in the ways we would think of it, but do consume creatures like ourselves. They are not especially bright, but on part They are large, larger even than me, and made of plant stuff. They are strong, but not very bright, and they like to eat other creatures. I think they can engulf prey even as large as us. I don't think they're particularly friendly though, and I have no idea why an elf would keep one as a pet. I feel like they might eat the gardeners."<br/><br/>Moss paused then, considering what he had said, and then turned to his new friend, regarding them with what, to the tortle, seemed a stern expression. He didn't much care for the pursuit of gold, but he understood that this creature might pose as great a threat to itself, as anyone else on the island. To his mind saving it would be doing two justices.<br/><br/>"You know, the poor creature could be lost or confused. It would very much be a shame if it was injured as a result of those seeking a reward, or if it ate someone attempting to return it home. I think we should go together to this estate, and see if we can find it. You are correct, if sharply materialistic in your goals. In this case, that seems a prudent stance to take. I may even take some of the gold, provided there is enough to spare. I am almost depleted on my pipeweed, and these villagers insist on currency for payment. Dwarves do not appear to value woven baskets."
