Disappointed that it doesn't turn you into a sloth. I'd be able to hang out in the trees all day if I got it.

  Sloths can hang onto a branch for hours and sleep while they do it. They also have their own little ecosystem involving a moss and a moth that only grow on the back of sloths. That's what I want for my life.
