A Tristanian General learns the importance - and cost - of Pixies the hard way...

The General: So let me get this straight.. you're saying that you can either be forward scouts and play to your strengths or you're going to keep recruiting these "boss mobs" and we'll have to feed them?
Botan: Yes, sir! *salutes*
The General: *watches as the giant dragon outside his tent eats his horse* You drive a hard bargain, Pixie. What the devil is that thing?
Botan: Oh, that's just a little Onyxia. The full-grown ones can be twice her size! She's a dragon.
The General: I've seen dragons. I've ridden dragons into combat. That's not a dragon. That's a .. a .. monster!
Botan: I think this is what Yui calls a "language issue." We call the cute little lizards that you call dragons "drakes." It's like comparing one of those little lap-poodles to a Dire Wolf Matriarch.
The General: *watches as the Onyxia starts eating another horse* How much does that thing eat in a day?
Botan: About half her body weight in meat. She's still growing.
The General: *sigh* And what will it take to get you to take her home again?
Botan: *grins evilly* Well, the Gardens could use some "logistical support"...
