Valoria knows from her knowledge that she'll be warned when people enter her halls, so she's going to instead focus on monster designs and experimentation instead. But before she forgot, there needs to be rewards!
Some ideas came immediately. All Plushies drop some magical threads and buttons made of copper and, rarely, silver. The Voodoo variants also dropped needles that inject burst healing or harmful Mana into targets they hit, and Beats variants dropping their boom boxes that play random buffing music each time their turned on.
Manakins dropped copper gears and sometimes their hearts, if they remained undamaged during the fight. Valoria made those hearts be able to draw and expel Mana, making them perfect for golem cores.
The bosses get a unique item each. Wooly got the Lightning Rod, an almost fully copper colored spear with glowing cyan runes infused with Energy Mana. It could fire lighting chains at will with a cooldown of 1 minute.
Rhonda's drop was the Beat Drop, a scarlet tower shield that after deals damage it blocks as sound damage to enemies in front of the shield. It also spreads the user's current buffs to nearby allies for up to 5 minutes, with a cooldown of 1 hour.

With the drops complete, Valoria got to brainstorming for the next floor and its monsters. The first thing she made was Manakins, infused with different emotions.
One with joy, which created explosive balloons. One with anger, which made and controlled fire. Finally, she made one with anguish, who screams damage all. Other than those added abilities, and the fact that those of anguish don't move, they were like normal Manakin.
The next thing she wanted to make was a healer mob. Looking at the bear heart Plush in her Core Room, she infuses it with Love and Life Mana to get this.

As Valoria began to think of the last new mob for the next floor, she felt something on the edge of her mind that gained all of her attention. She apparently has visitors.
As a bit of a last ditch effort, she designed a monster that was filled with her frustration and toxic thoughts as a new Manakin variant. Instead of leaving it there, Valoria decided to fuel it with her knowledge of nuclear power, radiation, and a raging fire. Those fuckers would think twice with messing up the process!
