A Saltsucker was an Octopus-like creature from the southern deserts. They had no relation to octopi, but were often mistaken for them due to their seven tentacles covered in suckers.[1]

Description[]

They usually grazed harmlessly on the salt in the mammalian skin of creatures such as Gunderwals, so long as the mammal remained still. Violent movements would alarm the saltsucker however, causing it to wrap its tentacles tightly around the mammal's body while gnawing at the body with a beak-like mouth.

Gunderwals were used to this process and as such suffered no harm, but creatures such as mules or camels, which saltsuckers could be drawn to if a heard was nearby, would typically react violently, causing them to be injured in the ensuing mess.

Some places would organise competitions where a saltsucker would be placed upon a blindfolded person, to see how long they could bear it.

Origins and Distribution[]

They could be found within Khul in places such as the Scythera Desert.
