I want the crack that people in the pet making department are smoking.

How do they even come up with things like a mechanical owl, gemstone foxes and puppet jace? Is this what people think about when they hear "Magic the Gathering"?

All of the pets that we have made are pretty much in Magic cards and/or follow the theme of the set. Owls are very important in Greek mythology, there's a fox in [[Glass Casket]] (plus it fits the Eldraine theme, [[Wildborn Preserver]] anyone??), Puppet Jace was in [[Cult Guildmage]], the dragon was literally [[Dragon Whelp]], etc.

We just like to make cool pets.
