So there's an insidious cult that's trying to bring about the end of the world, and your team of misfits is trying to stop them. As it goes.
But what horrible abomination are these cultists trying to summon?

The Sting Shop
The shop is run by an old, old man who has been old for as long as anyone can remember. They call him The Shopkeeper in the Woods. He loves mysteries, especially the mystery of what his magic items do, and he’ll encourage the players to buy the cheapest items.
What does he have in stock today?
In the generator above, the blacked out sections are a mystery, even to the old man himself. That's why they are discounted. If you highlight the text, then you can see what the item actually does.
I made a list. Then Type1 Ninja made another list, and included an excellent idea for the layout of the shop. Then I combined both lists and dumped them into my generator generator to output an automagic shop generator.

Behold!
By combining my grand exhaustive list of every animal in the cosmos with LawfulNeutral's arcane tables of metaphysical motivation and Dan's hideous pile of mutations (plus my own pile of mutations), and welding them together in the flames of my new generator, I have forged the ultimate in beast making technology.

head with 12-inch thick skin with a broad protuberance on its face that can be used to sense electromagnetic fields with telescoping, upward facing eyes surrounded by a transparent reflective dome

around so that it can curl up into a ball with a beautiful unicorn horn which is actually a tooth which is covered with spikes which transport fluid to its mouth with a thin tail which can be used as

Mutation table: 157 Real-world animal adaptations.
While working on this giant list of animals, I also began to compile a list of bizarre animal adaptations for use as a mutation table or as a way of generating bizarre new creatures.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get it up to 100 entries. But this list can be combined with the 50 animal adaptations listed here to form a d120 random mutation table.
Each of this mutations is a trait present in an actual animal (except for one which is from a plant).

Why do magical items recharge at dawn?
Each dawn, the light of the sun crashes over the landscape like a tidal wave, burning away the lingering remnants of darkness from the antisun. As this darkness evaporates, it leaves behind trace particles of magic that go spiraling through the air in an invisible aurora.
If you had the eyes of a wizard, dawn wouldn't just appear honey-yellow. You would see the atmosphere around you light up in a swirling cloud of indescribable colors.
Eventually, even the magical traces of darkness are scrubbed away by the sun.
