Re: Pirates - Was: Places: Dragon Rock Map

There is a breed of animal I use in my campaign called
"pog."  A pog is a magical cross between a pig and a
dog that eats anything and breeds uncontrollably, like
the tribbles from star trek.  They only grow about the
size of a chihuahua, and look like a dog with pig
hooves, a pig nose, and a pig tail.  They breed them
in pits large cities and throw their garbage in the
pits, to get rid of it.  On spelljamming ships some of
the more savage races put them in barrels and use them
as both waste disposals and food sources.  Throw in
that bone you got sick of chewing on and it will feed
one pog enough for it to reproduce and produce ten
pogs, which will eat each other if you don't 'weed'
them out by eating a couple.  It's an exponentialy
increasing food source on par with animals such as
carp or rats.  Goblins love them.
