Lorn-Flukes are monstrous, possibly primordial creatures that appear to be giant sea urchins. They can easily overwhelm ships, both by physical destruction and by terrifying the crew by speaking words of Correspondence. Originally from the planet Axile, like their sometime servants the Rubbery Men, they are enemies of the Masters of the Bazaar and seek to control or destroy the Bazaar.
There is a captive Lorn-Fluke in the Cave of the Nadir.

| When killed, lorn-flukes leave behind a core which glows irrigo, the colour of forgetfulness, and is made of the souls of the creature's victims. It may be possible for individual humans to be transformed into Flukes as well.
Also, in the High Wilderness, there are apparently creatures called Scorn-Flukes. Perhaps, the ones who are still living on Axile? | ||
