| Merit Badge: | |
The instructor takes a look at the huge pile of triassic claws and teeth you've collected. "Hmm, you've really been taking care of those proto-dinosaurs, haven't you. Nature may be red in tooth and claw but you're fiercer than any of them. Anyway, we could make use of those items for some fake tribal necklaces we sell during the Twilight Heritage Days. If you'd be willing to part with, say, 200 of each, I'd gladly reward you for your contribution."
You hand over 200 claws and 200 teeth, and in exchange your trainer scrabbles around on a dusty shelf and comes up with a merit badge: Brontosaurus Bully | |
