“There are... stuffed toys too. ”
Soonie pups are a stuffed toy found in Elendel on Scadrial. They are manufactured by Soonie Industries and are meant to represent TenSoon as a Terris wolfhound.[2]
They have real fur and legs that can move. The House Record advertises them as selling for seventy-five clips each, or one-Boxing-fifty for two.[3]
History[edit]
Sazed included TenSoon in the Words of Founding, making him a well-known part of the legends around the Catacendre. TenSoon was annoyed by the mention, and further annoyed by the subsequent commercialization of Soonie pups.[1]
Wax heard of the toys, and referred to them as "Soonie cubs."[1] His son, Maxillium Ladrian, later owned a Soonie pup that he named "Tenny" and enjoyed playing with.[4]
Olin Tober, a professor at Elendel University, wrote repeatedly to Soonie Industries and The Two Seasons claiming that Soonie pups were a historically inaccurate representation, since Terris wolfhounds did not exist pre-Catacendre, and the kandra would therefore actually have taken the form of a wolf dog. He released a historically accurate Soonie pup, which sold for a fivespin with a trade-in of the other kind of Soonie pup, and sponsored Nicki Savage's broadsheet column with it. His version included a patented zippered pocket, presumably inspired by the ability of kandra to store items within their bodies.[2]
