There is also the idea of the Fram gaining a ship pet while on Muspellsheimr.
Mainly the ship lands on the surface and this creature manages to get on the ship. Then through an airlock and into the ship without anyone noticing.
Mainly because the creature looks like a large rock.
This curious bugger (about as intelligent as a really dumb dog) runs around a bit with anyone managing to ignore it again and eventually finds itself out of air (it needs higher pressures to actually breathe) and out of food and tried to find either.
Eventually someone does see the creature and realizes that its not a rock and begins to chase it. The creature panics and the chase ends up in engineering, where the creature stumbles over grease that looks and smells exactly like the water it is used to. So it drinks fromm the grease.
Only that this grease contains a good amount of handwavium to work in a vacuum. Cue the creature being biomodded to be able to survive any other environment other then its natural one.
It caught, the Handwavium contamination noticed and the crew decides that putting it back may contaiminate Muspellsheimr with more Handwavium then they are comfortable with. So the rock creature ends up becoming the ships pet rock. And bane for any rat that manages to get into the ship.
Someone also get the bright idea to call it 'Rocky'...
I also have the strange mental image of someone walking this rock on a leash on a station...
