Croc-O-Deel for Sale or Barter

I have in my possession a well-groomed, modestly violent Croc-O-Deel from the Respite of the Dead Lands. I am looking for a trade if you possess any of the following: a book of love potions for a newly-single wizard, toad’s breath ginger-tonic, and/or a bartering charm for confusing men or dwarves.

The reptilian came into my possession in the form of a trade gone awry. I offered my wife for my new companion, introduced to me as a pocket lizard. The “lizard” was a baby croc-o-deel with a growing charm cast upon it. Anything Gorock ate would increase his size to the height, width and length of its meal.

I figured out this ruse when it ate my now former wife who was at this point in the service of an Easterling named Autistra. I tried to return the lizard but Autistra refused due to the wife-eating incident.

I am currently looking for a good home for Gorock. Preferably one that can expand its dimensions to infinitesimal degrees as his appetite is voracious.
