WARNING LARP SUGGESTION
why not let us slap a couple of glass panels together using glue/clay, maybe some sand and soil to create a terrarium - you can put most of the small, pickable and non-butcherable creatures inside, toads, rats, stag beetles etc.
it would essentialy be a furniture piece, animation of the animal moving inside mandatory.
I simply refuse to turn my q80 centipede into a centibab.
