ey! how has the gender of the mer-person from which this item was taken been established? Admit it! “magical merman’s eyeball” wouldn’t attract as much in NFTs.

Everybody knows that this was a scam. The nature of mermaid’s eyes is such that they almost immediately draw the attention of wererats, who consume them to gain resistance to silver. There’s really no feasible way to prevent this so all commercial mermaid eyes are typically just boring old griffon bezoars.

Couldn’t they use the magical powers to make themselves rich beyond their wildest dreams?
