I’ve never seen a maluuken with my own two eyes. As a matter of fact, I’ve only ever heard about them from Grixx. From what he says, they seem to be a terror and quite frankly I don’t even want to come in contact with one. But I sure do love this robe Grixx gave me. He always presents me with the most thoughtful gifts.
Space is cold, but every time I slip on this robe, I certainly find comfort and warmth. So I guess maluuken are good for something and can’t be all that bad.
From Chapter 2:
She kicked off her boots, removed her flight jacket, and undressed. She grabbed her fine maluuken robe and slipped it on. It brought her comfort and made her feel warm inside. Grixx had given it to her last year after a visit to Falcus B.
She recalled him saying, “Maluuken are huge, wild, lumpy beasts. They roam the countryside, trampling everything and bothering everybody, but their pelts make the warmest robes.” As usual, he was right.
