'''Scrak''' is an [[axehound]] on [[Roshar]] owned by [[Balat Davar]].{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}
'''Scrak''' is an [[axehound]] owned by [[Balat Davar]].{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}


Balat has been raising axehounds since a very young age, and as their lifespan is unknown, it's hard to say how old Scrak is.{{book ref|sa2|i|19}} Balat thinks of her as a child, but this might be a figure of speech. She belongs to one of smaller, sleeker breeds, although she still weighs nearly as much as a grown man.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}
==Appearance and Personality==
Scrak has a typical axehound appearance with six legs, an angular head, antennae, and a segmented hide.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}} She belongs to one of the smaller, sleeker axehound breeds, although she still weighs nearly as much as a grown man.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}


Scrak is loyal, playful, and mischievous. She trumpets when she sees her master and leans on him to get rubs behind her ear holes. She often plays around the sitting green at the [[House Davar|Davar]] family manor, catching [[songling]]s and rolling around with them before biting off their legs.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}} She does tend to ignore Balat's commands on little things, such as failing to share her kills with him, but he does not get truly annoyed and sees her independent streak as a sign of intelligence.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}
Scrak's highly loyal to her master and cares for him, trumpeting whenever he shows up and leaning on him to get ear rubs. This being said, she can disobey him on little things, such as sharing her kills with him. She often plays around the sitting green at the [[House Davar|Davar]] family manor, catching [[songling]]s and rolling around with them before biting off their legs.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}


It's possible that Balat took her with him and his family when leaving [[Jah Keved]] to meet up with [[Shallan]], though there's no proof either way.
==History==
It is not clear how Balat acquired Scrak, although he is known to have started breeding axehounds in his youth,{{book ref|sa1|i|2}} presumably learning about it from his father [[Lin]].{{book ref|sa2|39}} Although Balat sometimes exhibited cruelty towards animals (including axehounds),{{book ref|sa2|19}} he was generally known to love the axehound pups that he bred.{{book ref|sa2|61}} Balat's attitude towards Scrak implied that he had owned her for a long time, likely since she was very young.

It is not known if Balat still had Scrak after the [[Ghostbloods]] helped the Davar sons escape the strife in [[Jah Keved]] to meet up with [[Shallan]] in [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3|122}}
