An oversized pet carrier that can briefly suck in a consenting crawler — the exploit at the heart of the Cabaret smuggling scheme.
The XL pet carrier is an expensive dungeon item and the mechanical keystone of Carl's Pineapple Cabaret escape. Ordinary pet carriers can't hold crawlers, but an XL model can still suck in a crawler who *allows* it; roughly ten seconds later the carrier breaks and expels its passenger with a brief 'Bonked' debuff. The exploit is that while the sealed carrier can't be added to a personal inventory, it CAN be absorbed by a cleaner bot's weight-based utility storage — and a cleaner bot can be sold at a shop terminal.
So a crawler is zapped into the carrier, the bot (Suckira) swallows it, and the bot is sold across to Herot inside the Cabaret, delivering the passenger off the game board. Li Na is the first to ride it out. The carriers' cost and the bots' limited capacity together cap how many crawlers the scheme can save.
