So this is an animal, right? For some reasons, corals and other "sedentary animals" confuse the hell out of me.

Most of those things in that picture look like very ornate pottery or buttons.

Also, that thing is cool!!! Nature is so amazing. I wonder what purpose it serves, besides to be eaten by locals? It can't even move or anything. Very interesting!

So you say you want a pet rock? If that's so, I think I have one to sell you. And then I will open a business. :P

i had a pet rock in my inventory for the longest time.
It was just sitting there though. I think it was happy.

While this feature of the Grimtotem Spirit Guide wasn't exactly intended... - it will still be possible in future for everyone who wishes to tame this NPC to do so
