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 offer 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 to

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.
