The Murtlap is a rodent with a growth on its back resembling a sea anemone. Murtlaps mainly feed on crustaceans, although it will bite at the feet of those which get too close to it.
The growth on the Murtlap's back may be pickled and eaten to improve one's resistance to jinxes. Murtlap Essence is a home remedy for cuts and abrasions.
Eating an excess of pickled murtlap may cause one to grow unsightly purple ear hair
