"# Canthan animal(s) inhabit the menagerie."

"# Elonian animal(s) reside in the menagerie."

"# exotic animal(s) stay(s) in the menagerie."

(list of animals currently added, listed in the following order: Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, Eye of the North, exotic, animals within the same group are listed alphabetically)

If no animals are missing:

"You've unlocked all the animals!"

→ Tell me about your services.

"Our agents around the world seek out and acquire tamable animals from the wild. A related service, evolution training, can proffer you a perfectly trained version of any animal in your collection. Each requires a modest fee of Zaishen Coins and gold or Balthazar Faction, which varies depending on the rareness of the breed or training needs."

"Where is the animal from?"

→ It's one of the animals found in Tyria.

→ It's one of the animals found in Cantha.

→ It's one of the animals found in Elona.

→ It's an exotic animal.

"Which animal are you seeking?" (response to any of the above choices)

<name of animal you haven't unlocked all tiers for> (animals are generally listed alphabetically, warthogs are listed first for Elona, Prophecies animals are listed before Eye of the North animals for Tyria)

If the animal isn't unlocked yet:

"Hmm, the <name of animal> is not yet in your collection. We can acquire one for a nominal fee of # <Gold or Silver> Zaishen Coins plus 100 gold or # Balthazar Faction. How would you like to pay for that?

I'll spend my Zaishen Coins and gold. (ends conversation if successful)

I'll pay using Balthazar Faction. (ends conversation if successful)

"You're a little short on funds, friend. Come back when you have enough to pay for what you ask." (ends conversation)

No, I've reconsidered. (ends conversation)

I'll spend my Zaishen Coins and gold. (ends conversation if successful)

I'll spend my Zaishen Coins and gold. (ends conversation if successful)
