This package contains a Seaman habitat and one Seaman egg.
To begin with, let’s learn a bit more about Seaman, shall we? Historical
references to Seaman first appeared in the spoken folklore of ancient Egypt,
passed down from generation to generation. Until recently, it was assumed
that the Seaman creature did not actually exist (similar to the many other
mythical creatures of ancient Egypt). However, in 1997, the discovery of a live
Seaman in the Egyptian city of Old Alexandria disproved this assumption, and
Seaman came to be known the world over.
While the originally discovered Seaman specimen died shortly after being
captured, its remains were quickly rushed to the foremost biological research
institute in France where a number of eggs were discovered inside its body.
We at Vivarium were then able to assist in this endeavor by covering the
research and development costs in return for the sole distribution rights that
have enabled us to of fer this product to you.
It is well known that as part of its genetic labeling, Seaman passes knowledge
on to subsequent human generations orally. Furthermore, Seaman is said t o
have had a strong influence on the progression of ancient civilization, but the
details of exactly how this was done are not yet fully understood.
