Animals
The listed prices for the following animals does not include extensive training other than what is noted in the name. For example, a companion dog would have basic training such that it would not attack its master. A riding dog would be trained to carry individuals of appropriate size. A hunting dog would be trained to hunt and retrieve while a war dog would be trained to perhaps wear light armor and attack on command. It may be assumed that other types of animals come with the most basic of training to allow it to be purchased without attacking its owner or running away (at least not immediately). They will be trained enough to do duties common to that animal.
More extensive training is available but the cost of the animal increases by twice its listed price (Unless Noted Otherwise). Note however that some things are just not possible for certain animals. For example, a duck simply can't be trained to steal for you nor can a chicken be trained to carry your gear around. All training is relative to the animal to be trained. If you are unsure, ask a Storyteller for assistance. Also, not all animal merchants will offer such highly trained animals, again speak with a Storyteller for details. What does more extensive training entail? Highly reduced fight or flight instincts making the animal more reliable in stressful situations, a wider selection of tricks and learned commands (based on animal natural intelligence) and more noticeable personality.

Snakes
Snakes in Mizahar come in two main types, venomous and non-venomous. Non-venomous snakes are quite common and come in many different sizes, colors and patterns. The majority of non-venomous snakes are considered to be of a single breed known as the Common Sikuva. While the appearance and actual names used for the Sikuva may vary by region, city, race and culture, the Sikuva is still descended from a single species of non-venomous snake. Venomous snakes and constrictors are classified differently with various breeds of venomous snake and constrictor in existence.
When it comes to sales and purchase, sizes are almost always small to medium as keeping large snakes for sale is not only dangerous but also expensive to feed. Venomous snakes are not easily found for sale on the open market in most locales thus they are hard to find for sale with some being even rarer than others. Non-venomous general refers to snakes without venom or without enough of it to be dangerous to the average adult human; these are the Sikuva.
The following listing of snakes includes those that may be found for sale in various regions across Mizahar. This list is by no means meant to detail every type of snake living in Mizahar.
Prices are listed as Young/Adult gm
| Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
| Sikuva The Common Sikuva varies in size from six inches to six feet. They are non-venomous and come in all manner of color and patterns although the shades are always some variation of brown, gray or black with combinations as well.

They are found in tropical regions of Mizahar and are almost never found for sale outside of tropical areas. | 10/100 gm | Boa Constrictor A large snake with a narrow, pointed head. Its colors range from black to dark green, pinkish or even silver-gray. There are dark saddle markings along its back and it has a clear scale covering its eyes so that even when asleep it looks like it's awake. An adult averages 3 1/4-13 feet and weighs 30-60 lbs.

They are extremely rare to find for sale in tropical regions and impossible to found elsewhere. Their venom is deadly and is a neurotoxin and cardiotoxin. The venom from a single bite is deadly enough to kill even the mighty Jamoura. The venom causes paralysis, tightening of the chest muscles, blurred vision, confusion and overall discomfort. Death from respiratory failure will occur in 7-15 hours. Quick antivenom can increase survival from a bite to 99%. | 50/500 gm | Bushmaster The longest type of venomous snake, it has a thick body with yellow or tan skin and a series of large, bold, dark brown or black blotches along its body.

It causes pain, swelling, paralysis, unconsciousness and death in the absence of an antivenom. | 30/300 gm | Copperhead A medium-sized thin bodied venomous snake with a red, copper-colored head. Its colors are pinkish to gray-brown with a dark-brown hourglass pattern on the body. They are not aggressive and usually avoid contact with humanoids. They are usually found in temperate and sometimes tropical climates in forests, grasslands and some urban areas. Their venom is not very strong in that it is usually unable to kill healthy adult humans. It does cause great pain, swelling and nausea but usually does not require antivenom. These snakes are somewhat rare to find for sale but are more common than most other venomous snakes. | 10/100 gm | Coral Snake A brightly colored, small headed snake with smooth scales and bright red, white, yellow and black bands along its thin body. While there are many different types of coral snake, they are all more or less similar to one another. Adults range in length from 23-35 inches and weigh between eight inches to one pound. They are usually found in tropical to subtropical forests. Their venom is a neurotoxin that is painless at first but brings on slow paralysis and labored breathing. Antitoxin can reduce and ultimately eliminate these symptoms. Coral snakes are relatively common when sold in regions they are adapted to and are somewhat uncommon elsewhere. | 10/30 gm |
| Cotton Mouth A medium-sized snake with dark olive or black coloring that is paler on the belly. Their head is thick and broader than the neck with their head covered in large plate-like scales.

The adult ranges from 20-74 inches in length and weighs 3-10 lbs. They may be found for sale in regions they are adapted to and are somewhat uncommon elsewhere. Their venom is a hemotoxin that causes extensive tissue damage around the bite area and extensive bleeding. Antitoxin can reduce the pain and bleeding while stopping further tissue damage. | 20/50 gm | Rattlesnake Large, heavy-bodied snakes that can be gray, brown or green in color. They have lighter broad diamond-shaped markings along their bodies. Their tails end in a segmented rattle that they use to sound a warning to enemies.

Included are other symptoms such as excessive salivation, thirst, swollen eyelids, blurred vision, spasms and unconsciousness. Death occurs within 1.5 hours of being bitten and even with quick use of antivenom, the victim will require significant recovery time and amputation of affected limbs is still quite common afterwards. | 40-400 gm | Isurian Python This large, thick-bodied constrictor snake is found only in the subterranean areas of Kalea and are rare outside of captivity. They are pale in color ranging from white to light gray and are blind.

They are rather slow however, moving at around 1 mile per hour. They are found for sale by a few select merchants among the isur and even then only in the underground isur cities. They are impossible to find anywhere else. Unlike their above-ground counterparts, the isurian python possesses a mild necrotoxin that kills the flesh around the bite area and causes it to soften for easier digestion. It is not fatal to healthy humans but is extremely painful and can result in amputation even after the use of antivenom. Those few who live outside of captivity prey on subterranean rodents. | 50-500 gm |
| Pygmy Viper A tiny, thin-bodies snake with solid black coloring and a pale white belly, the Pygmy viper is the smallest known snake. Adults range in length of 3-6 inches and weigh only a few ounces. They live in tropical wetlands and can swim and climb. They are only found for sale in illegal markets and even then are quite rare. They are popular with assassins and others delving into more unsavory professions. They are venomous with their venom serving as a strong neurotoxin. A single bite from the pygmy viper can cause labored breathing followed by fast-acting paralysis and if not treated with antitoxin, death can follow in roughly a hour after. | 60-600 gm |
Snakes: Venom
Snake venom can be collected from snakes for use by poisoncrafters. To collect snake venom and/or craft antivenom, one must possess at least an L1 in Animal Husbandry and an L1 in Poisoncrafting with more deadly types of venom requiring higher skill levels. Even then, if collecting from a live specimen, chances of getting bit with only the minimum requirements are VERY high. Antivenom costs the same as the actual venom. On average, 5 doses of venom can be harvested from a single snake. The following is a list of common types of snake venom.
