Puggernauts' Shop

## Shop Basement

NOTE: Since I do not possess any screenshots of this room, I have recreated the room and edited the photo to the best of my abilities

## Introduction

Puggernauts was an admin from the earlier days of the server and for some time early 2017 to early 2018, he had a shop in the new shop world along the coast of the lake in the player shops area. At a first glance it would seem like the plot didn't have any items to sell, but looking at the ground would reveal player nametags beneath the surface. Using a trap door in the floor behind the bar table, players could drop down into an additional underground bar area that had three villagers walking around, each named after a specific admin and wearing the heads of their respective names.

## Villager Menu

Villager menu for MelonMarauda's villager NPC

These villagers functioned as regular villagers do. Instead of selling normal items, they each sold a specific rare. To get one, you would have to pay each villager 2 stacks of diamond blocks.

## Rares List

Each NPC's rare is listed below. These items are very rare. Probably due to a combination of the villagers being well hidden, players not wanting to spend 6 stacks of diamond blocks for 3 rares, and older players who knew of the rares leaving the server with their rare collections eventually being deleted with old blue world.

## Additional Information

There exists another similar ocelot egg rare called Zero's Illustrious Ocelot Egg, which has a massive text box. It is NOT a part of this set, but is from Advent 2016. Illustrious Ocelot shown below for comparison.
