List of Animals of The Edge Chronicles - O

O

• Oakbat - In Midnight Over Sanctaphrax, the main characters come across many different animals in the Great Shryke Slave Market: past rows of sleeping oakbats, their ankles tethered to the branches with leather jesses.
• Oakelf - Oakelves are tree-dwelling beings who sleep in Caterbird cocoons, thereby opening themselves to the Caterbird's dreams and knowledge. They alone seem immune to the deadly Rotsucker, which seals such cocoons and waits for the creature within to dissolve, whereapon it cuts into the shell and drinks. Oakelves as a rule have huge eyes symbolic of their wisdom, which is considerable, and long ears similar to those of the Jedi Master Yoda featured in Star Wars. Oakelves' eyes can see about every thing around them. They are valuable lookouts on Sky Pirate Ships e.g. Spillins, Spiker and Spooler.
• Oakhen - In Midnight Over Sanctaphrax, the main characters encounter various animals whilst travelling through the Deepwoods: the oakhens who came in search of bulbul berries.
• Oozefish - Oozefish are natives of the Mire; foul, sluggish, vile-tasting mudskipper-analogues. These fish latch on to the feet of animals wading through the mud, eventually working their way up the legs. Fourthlings sometimes eat them, though it seems they are not particularly delicious, and only taken when nothing else is available (The Stone Pilot Maugin expressed distaste for Oozefish in Stormchaser). Their bones are used for divination by charlatans in Sanctaphrax.
