	* A caustic poison can be brewed from the crushed bodies of skatharia.

	* Great black devil-bats roost in the darkhouse tower of the Seleniakos in Strakapolis. They are Night-warped creatures created by the influence of the tower's moon-fragment. They were bound to obey the Helms who ruled the city, and the great houses of Strakapolis retain the old binding lore. They field small numbers of bat-riders.		* Great black devil-bats roost in the darkhouse tower of the Seleniakos in Strakapolis.

	* The vulture is sacred to the Helm, and the sight of them feeding on the battlefield after the slaughter is one of the canonical image of post-battle tragedy in Pelithine story and painting.

	* The chaloskatharia or ruin-beetles, often simply called the skatharia (sing. skathari), are black carrion scarabs the size of a man's palm with a silvery markings on their back reminiscent of the puzzle-shapes on the Pyxis. They are attracted to rot and decay, eating anything organic, from flesh to leather to wood. They gnaw on bone, but are usually too small to crack and consume it. In small numbers, they are simply opportunistic scavengers, competing with crows and vultures, but they have been known to swarm, devouring crops, livestock, and even people. They sometimes descend in numbers upon the aftermath of a battlefield, driving off scavengers, medics, and burial details.		* The chaloskatharia or ruin-beetles, often simply called the skatharia (sing. skathari), are black carrion scarabs the size of a man's palm with a silvery markings on their back reminiscent of the puzzle-shapes on the Pyxis.
