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.[1]
Appearance and Anatomy
The size of a larkin ranges between the size of a hand and a small melon.[1] They are somewhat similar to cremlings 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.[2][3]
The most outstanding feature of a larkin is its 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.[3] Larkins can also eat Stormlight that has been stored in gems and drain the Voidlight from a Fused.[4]
Lore
The larkin are associated with the Knights Radiant, though the specifics of their connection remain a mystery.[5] One effect of this connection is possibly that Surgebinders can sense a larkin's mood.[3]
