A sketch of chulls from Shallan Davar's sketchbook.

Chulls are everywhere, of course, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. There must be far more breeds of the animal than I'd originally assumed. I've seen them pulling carts, towing boxes, carrying jugs of water in racks on their sides.

I even saw a man riding one for transportation, though it seems that walking would be far faster
The shells aren't nearly as heavy as they look.
In the wild, plants grow in the crevices, and a sleeping chull looks much like a boulder.
Apparently the beasts aren't hurt if the shell is cracked, or even shaped. Some people sand flat palces on top to ride, and many carts are hooked to fittings drilled directly into the shell.

Many of the drivers here on the coast direct the animals by tapping on their antennae with a long poll, rather than using a complex leather bridle like the workers on my fathers estate.
