 ==== Pyreraptors ====
-The pyreraptors (//ekiikava//) are black-feathered and -scaled kavkema, something that is inherently a frightening concept to the kavkema, as any kavkem of that colour would be plainly visible amongst the mountains, albeit with the thicker occurrences of feathers rendered as flames. Their eyes range from amber to blue, matching the colour of their flames. Pyreraptors frequently 'appear' to victims of [[:Serrata]].

 The way to shake them is simply to exhaust the swarm - to walk (or better yet, run) so far that the chain cannot maintain any reasonable spacing between the individual spots of light.

With the appearance of the [[:Nayabaru:technology:spiderling|spiderlings]], however, depictions of spiders as extensions of Terenyira's senses were typically downgraded to the 'informants' narrative.
+In any case, the different beliefs agree that one should avoid or destroy spiders when one sees them.
