deathtocapslock Alright, this entry’s a little better.
Fire Crab
MOM Classification: XXX
So, first of all, a Fire Crab is not a crab- it’s a giant tortoise with a jeweled shell. I have no idea what that’s all about. But anyway, it’s native to Fiji, and appears to have gotten its name from the fact that it can shoot flames out of its rear end when threatened (no idea what that’s all about either).
On, and there’s a segment of Fiji that’s been set aside for its protection “not only against Muggles... but also against unscrupulous wizards...” Right, because everyone knows that Muggles everywhere are just dying to get their hands on a jeweled shell that belongs to an endangered giant tortoise! Those Muggles are just so ignorant that they’ll go to any lengths to get their hands on a shiny, after all (incidentally, do the jewels even come off of the shell? Inquiring minds want to know)! And if they would (because no doubt some would) it's just like these Wizards to provide a solid reason for why other wizards might use the shells, but not Muggles. Ho, hum, those inferior Muggles would probably just sell the shell as an ornament- look at us, we would make it into a cauldron!
Incidentally, despite the fact that these tortoises need a special reservation, it’s apparently A-OK to export them as pets to people with special licenses! Well, everyone knows that a magical creature is useless unless it’s edible, wearable, or possible to domesticate (incidentally, that’s been a huge stumbling block in the protection of a lot of real-life endangered species, so it makes no sense to encourage it here)!
