Difference between revisions of "Larkin"

'''Larkin''' are highly valued small flying crustacean animals native to [[Aimia]] on [[Roshar]]. They have been a critically endangered species since the [[scouring of Aimia]].{{qa ref|?|977|13|text=Are the creatures on the frontsheet's crabwasps or crabdragons?| - Cosmere Q&A - 17th Shard}}

The size of a larkin ranges between the size of a hand and a small melon.{{qa ref|?|977|13|text=Cosmere Q&A - 17th Shard}} They are somewhat similar to [[cremling]]s in appearance, although, unlike the cremlings' crabbish face, the larkin have a small face, like that of an [[axehound]], with a snout, mouth, and shimmering eyes of solid silver, as well as wings that folded out of their backs. Their wings are strong enough that they can fly, at least in small distances.{{ref|b|sa2|i|2}}{{ref|b|sa2|i|9}}

The larkin are associated with the [[Knights Radiant]], though the specifics of their connection remain a mystery.<ref{{file name=krtable>[[:File:ref|TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg|The Way of Kings Front Endsheet]]</ref>}} One effect of this connection is possibly that Surgebinders can sense a larkin's mood.{{ref|b|sa2|i|9}}
