The stuffed figures

Miss Quill's collection: some three hundred tagged, stuffed monsters on the shelves of the magistrate's office (more than a thousand in her apartment), the dungeon's Beanie Babies, as Carl sees them; a stuffed armoured rider on a black horse, tagged Kimaris, in a glass case forged on the fifteenth floor, is the most valuable thing Carl owns and he does not know why.

Progression

The Kimaris figure is Carl's only Unique item and his most valuable (ch. 7). Bautista explains: pull the tag and a real monster is summoned, common ones for seconds, legendary ones for hours; Miss Quill had a thousand; Jaxbrin Amusements makes them and sponsors him (ch. 29).
