murgaleen

A small, furry, completely unremarkable animal that generally divides its time among climbing trees, picking fruit, and making more murgaleens. The locals like to create large parks for them to live in their cities, although they rarely take them as pets. The phrase flidding like murgaleens used to be common, but that figure of speech has been in extremely poor taste ever since the murgaleens' role in the Canary Incident was brought to light.

Murgaleens' prodigious sex drive has a spillover effect on local commerce, and Mooncursers capitalize on this phenomenon by noting that the value of all non-SEX items is increased by three if a SEX item of the same category (ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL, or MANUFACTURED) is included.
