Lareth has had a long and interesting history.

He first started out as my sister's transformation pet. However, he was extremely stubborn with her and refused to change costumes within the Operations Portal. So I took him from her to use him for my own needs. He served as my former transformation pet but I was not satisfied with his costumes. I decided to get him sick, essentially killing him without poison (poison at the time was never available anywhere but in the player market for impossible prices).

Today he is my very successful battle pet.
