      Agreeing that the Furry version is cute.

      But is this really monkey’s paw mechanics and not Djinn? Afaik, the recoil of the paw is that how you wish gets archived is messed up and with Djinn it is how the result is designed.
      Possible that I mixed the tow up, so maybe someone can explain it.

        I think monkey paw is “you get exactly what you wished for, but it turns out there are consequences with that wish you didn’t want.” Like when Lisa wishes for world peace, and she gets it, but that allows aliens to invade later.

        Monkeys paw: I wish for one trillion dollars; the world’s economy crashes

        Djinn: I wish for one trillion dollars; you are crushed to death beneath the weight of one trillion dollars.

    Yup, the last request she forgot to include the prior “humanoid hybrid” stipulation.
