"The Legend of the 50-Foot-Long Tuffala" by _brainchild_
One cosy day in Moltara, Malmagma the Magma Draik was watching a programme on Neovision. Intrigued by the recent discovery of a new Moltaran Petpet called the Tuffala, she was enjoying special coverage about the critter. “The size of this unique being is directly tied to its age,” began the announcer as video footage was shown containing several Tuffalas of different sizes in their native habitat. “Due to some of the giant specimens that have been discovered, it is believed that they can live for a very, very long time. Another unique fact about the creatures is that they can move through streams of magma underneath the Neopian planet’s surface to travel anywhere on the globe almost instantly. Therefore, it is speculated that Tuffalas may soon be found in other regions besides Moltara. How exciting!” Malmagma smiled, realising that she wanted a Tuffala of her own. “Also intriguing is the legend of the 50-foot-long Tuffala,” continued the announcer. Malmagma could not believe her ears. A 50-foot-long Petpet?! Only the Turmaculus would compare. “This legend has been passed down for the last 1000 years. It was only written down semi-recently, having been told previously by word of mouth. 1000 years ago, the Princess of Moltara, a young Draik, had a Tuffala named Lavaridge for a Petpet. When the princess fell victim to a nasty curse and could no longer care for Lavaridge, the Petpet was placed in the local zoo. However, she soon grew so big and strong that she escaped from the zoo and scampered off to an unknown location. More information can be found in the book The Princess of Moltara and Her 50-Foot-Long Tuffala.
