“ It passed directly underneath. Sak chirped quietly from Dusk’s shoulder; the second bird seemed to have some sense of the danger. Creatures like the shadow did not hunt by smell or sight, but by sensing the minds of prey. ”

A deepwalker is a sea-dwelling predatory creature on First of the Sun, only living in the waters near Pantheon.
It is also called a deepwalker by some Homeislers[1]. Like many creatures native to Pantheon, it hunts by sensing minds of other living creatures, making protection bestowed by mind-shielding Aviar essential for unarmed boats. It is as wide as six narrowboats tied together. It also possesses something like claws or tusks that are sharp enough to gouge rocks[1]. The ironhull class of ship can successfully attack and defend themselves from deepwalker threats; they managed to kill one during the expedition to Patji by the Northern Interests Trading Company.
