Trappers are the only people that understand the source of "talents", or supernatural powers, that can be granted by Aviar. They are familiar with [[Patji's Eye]], although they almost never visit it themselves and are likely unaware of its true nature. Information regarding Aviar talents and [[Patji's Finger]]s are closely held secrets among trappers.{{book ref|sixth}}
 
Trappers also have the unique capability to form bonds with multiple Aviar companions instead of just one. They consider all of their Aviar special, but their companions grant them talents and travel with them nearly everywhere they go; an Aviar with mental shielding abilities such as [[Kokerlii]] is nearly indispensable due to the many predators in the Pantheon thanthat can read minds. Additional Aviar can grant other magical talents that help the trapper survive. Trappers become highly familiar with the personalities of their companions, and can train them to perform certain tasks.{{book ref|sixth}}
 
Aviar also serve as the sole source of income for trappers. They bring chicks to market in the homeisles or the mainland. Because of the danger of the Pantheon and the relatively low number of trappers, Aviar chicks have historically been very expensive. However, technological innovations largely sourced from the Ones Above have allowed more chicks to make it to market, reducing their price even as demand has increased. Mercantile concerns such as the [[Northern Interests Trading Company]] have sought to establish a presence in the Pantheon to try and capture Aviar themselves, despite warnings from trappers.{{book ref|sixth}}
