'''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]].{{ref|?|977|13|text=Cosmere Q&A - 17th Shard}}
== Anatomy ==
The size of a larkin ranges between the size of a hand and a small melon.{{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 most outstanding feature of a larkin is their ability to suck [[Stormlight]] out of a [[Surgebinder]] at will. The Stormlight can be seen streaming from the Surgebinder towards the larkin's mouth as it is drinking in the Stormlight. It is unknown if the larkin can suck Stormlight only from a Surgebinder or if the Surgebinder can resist the larkin.{{ref|b|sa2|i|9}}
== Lore ==
The larkin are associated with the [[Knights Radiant]], though the specifics of their connection remain a mistery.<ref name=krtable>[[:File:TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg|The Way of Kings Front Endsheet]]</ref>
== Trivia ==
*[[Elhokar Kholin]] has the corpse of a larkin trapped inside a block of crystal to use as a paperweight in his conference room in the [[Pinnacle]].{{ref|b|sa2|c|5}}
*[[Rysn]] was given a live larkin by the [[Tai-na]], [[Relu-na]].{{ref|b|sa2|i|2}}
