==History==
{{spoilers|sa4}}
[[Shallan]], Adolin, and [[Kaladin]] saw an example of a Marabethian specimen in a menagerie in the warcamps. It was kept in a cage styled to look like a cave. Shallan was fascinated by its size compared to Veden examples. She touched it to confirm that it was warm-blooded, causing it to react defensively. She was unfamiliar with the larger species, and planned to sketch it. Adolin, who found the creature disgusting, was horrified. A plaque on the cage gave the animal's nickname as the "Devil Rock" and noted a Marabethian superstition that sarpenthyn were the result of murdered children being resurrected.{{book ref|sa2|55}}

While traveling as the [[highstorm]] to investigate the status of [[Urithiru]], [[Dalinar Kholin]] saw a group of creatures that look like sarpenthyn squeezing through holes in the underbrush to hide from the highstorm somewhere in [[Triax]] or [[Tu Fallia]]. He did not recognize them, however, and when he tried to take time to look at one in detail the [[Stormfather]] told him that they had to keep moving.{{book ref|sa4|71}}
