What animal is Lillian's staff pup off of?

A selkie. I believe it is a kind of mythical creature...

I think selkies are the mythical creature that is a seal but can take it's seal skin off and become a girl. I heard sailors will steal their seal skins when they're on land then get the selkie girl to marry them with the promise of returning their skin. At least that's they way I've heard me :3

Thats exactly what Selkie's are. They were first told in Scotland I believe. There's also legends of where Selkie's would lure people into the sea and drown them.

I was worried that I was going to end up missing a lot of the staff pups but I only had to trade for a few, and overall I'm only missing three. Kind of happy about that c:

Male selkies are described as being very handsome in their human form, and having great seductive powers over human women. They typically seek those who are dissatisfied with their life, such as married women waiting for their fishermen husbands. If a woman wishes to make contact with a selkie male, she must shed seven tears into the sea. If a man steals a female selkie's skin she is in his power and is forced to become his wife. Female selkies are said to make excellent wives, but because their true home is the sea, they will often be seen gazing longingly at the ocean. If she finds her skin she will immediately return to her true home, and sometimes to her selkie husband, in the sea. Sometimes, a selkie maiden is taken as a wife by a human man and she has several children by him. In these stories, it is one of her children who discovers her sealskin (often unwitting of its significance) and she soon returns to the sea. The selkie woman usually avoids seeing her human husband again but is sometimes shown visiting her children and playing with them in the waves.

Here is a paragraph I got off of Wikipedia (though I know wiki isn't always true)
