Description summary:
The description varies based on the city's Style.

Style	Second Paragraph
First City	[...] It needed well-trained keepers. It needed an adequate food supply. [...] You do get it back to its stable, though not before it has built a tram line across an authentic First City bridge and crushed all the gypsum paving in the main square.
Ivory	It lives in a city very much designed for its convenience [...] But even a spacious and luxurious accommodation was apparently insufficient, and it broke out. You do get it back [...] in the end. It helps that the streets are wide enough to allow herding. [...]
Attenuated School of Beatrice	It needed proper containment. It needed well-trained keepers. [...] it has demands just like a Union member might. You do get it back to its stable [...] but you have to build a number of ramps first. It doesn't like staircases, and this place is nothing but.
Remembered Celestial Auroral Nocturnal Bazaarine	It needed proper containment. It needed well-trained keepers. [...] As a matter of fact, it has demands just like a Union member might. You do get it back [...] in the end. It helps to know that its mating call sounds like a bag of nails dropped from a height.
Cenotaphic	It needed proper containment. It needed well-trained keepers. [...] As a matter of fact, it has demands just like a Union member might. You do get it back to its stable in the end, but not before it has smashed a beloved sculpture of Sorrow Personified.
True Beatrice	[...] it has demands just like a Union member might. You do get it back to its stable […] but you have to build a number of ramps first. It doesn't like staircases, and the only slopes here are for push-chairs, not for house-sized animals.

Failure

It needed proper containment. […] well-trained keepers. […] adequate food supply. […] demands just like a Union member might.

[…] All you're able to achieve is driving it out of the city entirely – which at least minimises the number of trampled urchins in the street.[…]
