Tireint Coincarriers (Tie-rent coincarriers)

"WRITE ABOUT A SERVICE ANIMAL IN YOUR WORLD: WHAT DO THEY HELP WITH? HOW DIFFICULT ARE THEY TO TRAIN?"

Small dragons, able to be all kinds of colors and textures, they have pouches in their belly that allow a fair amount of coins or other similarly-sized stuff to fit in there, so they were adopted by markets to carry change, starting off to be very convenient and time-saving since they do fly and run rather fast but now that technology has advanced a little bit, they're mostly there for the charm since a lot of clients tend to like them, especially children. They're pretty easy to train, especially since they're a flock species so if a stray Tireint is found, it's often put with the others gradually and they pick up the behavior. They have many purposes though, as they're also used in offices to carry even just pens or sugars around. Or at home, used to keep track of your keys but this is tricky since they can get playful at home when they're treated like a pet. Some individuals also attempt to train them to carry drugs and other contraceptives though it never seems to work well, no one knows why yet. It's very hard to find someone that doesn't like these small creatures even a smidge, since they're rather quiet most of the time and also have some purpose, even though it is small.
