Finn is fine-tuned to hear that interest, because in his opinion it is a horrible interest. Bad for pet shopping, bad for team safety, bad for anybody's personal life experiences.
His first instinct is to say what, no, of course not, because he's never heard anything about rathtars being so much as in this galaxy. His brain disagrees with making that kind of a promise, though. Different world, different rules. They could have them and call them something different. They could have sent teams out looking for new wildlife when people first started arriving through that portal and just lost all the members who encountered a rathtar.
Damn if he wants to jinx them with a firm shutdown.
"Not that I've heard about," is what he says instead, firm but cautious. "If there are, I don't wanna be on the team that finds them."

After a beat, his brain sort of catches him up.
"Wait, you know what rathtars are?"
