A person known as a taxidermist was skilled at the art of preserving and arranging deceased animals for exhibition, frequently as souvenirs from hunting expeditions. The unique preparation of Camray eels native to Spira for presentation was a task undertaken by taxidermists; although highly desired as keepsakes, the odor released from the deceased body was extremely unpleasant. Taxidermists would treat the remains to get rid of the foul smell.
