== Appearance and Anatomy ==
[[File: Chull Life Cycle.jpeg|left|thumb|250px|<small>Interior art by [[Isaac Stewart]]</small>A depiction of the five stages of life for a chull: Larva (chull cremling), first Pupation, Adult, second Pupation, and Senescence.]]
Chulls are massive crustaceans with thick legs with large claws and a stone-like shell. Their carapacecarapaces isare typically red.{{book ref|WoK|4}} Chulls have whiplike antennae and beady fist-size black eyes.{{book ref|WoK|28}}
 
Chull shells are a light, porous stone created from minerals the chull consumes in it'sits food and water and then excretes.{{url ref|url=http://inkthinker.deviantart.com/art/The-Way-of-Kings-Chulls-179074546|text=Inkthinker's comments on the Chull page from Shallan's Sketchbook|site=Deviant Art}}
Since the shell is not alive, chulls are not hurt when their shells are cracked or shaped. In the wild, there are often plants growing in the crevices of a chull's shell.{{file ref|chull.jpg}} Chulls pull their legs and head into their shell when they sleep, and as a result sleeping chulls look like large boulders or small hills.{{book ref|WoK|23}}
 
The [[Reshi]], and likely others, paint their chulls' shells. One can identify what island a Reshi chull handler is from by the colors and patterns on their chulls' shells.{{book ref|WoK|28}}
 
== Behavior ==
Chulls are generally docile creatures. They have claws that are said to be strong enough to break a man's arm, but it is very unusual for them to behave aggressively. {{book ref|WoK|4}} They tend to move with a slow, lumbering gait and are generally slower than humans.
 
They are capable of making a wide range of noises, including a gravelly bleating, trumpeting, and snorting.{{book ref|WoK|12}}{{book ref|WoK|21}}{{book ref|WoK|26}}
 
Chulls are omnivorous creatures. They eat everything from [[rockbud]]s to slugs to smaller crustaceans.{{book ref|WoK|4}} Domestic chulls are often fed grain.{{book ref|WoK|2}}
