In her human form, [[Iguana]] opened a pet store called ''Pet Shop Perfume'' selling furry gerbils called Chanelas. Each Chanela would emit a pleasant, yet unique perfume scent and need not be fed any food. However, as soon as a customer would look directly at the eyes of a Chanela, the customer would become entranced by the creature as they spend most of their time admiring it and thus becoming apathetic to the world they live in.
