"Intelligent, locomotive-sized chiroptera, able to pry an engine apart with their claws, or pummel it with their hellish shrieks. Curators accumulate hoards, which they guard violently. Each hoard collects artefacts or creatures themed to the Curator’s particular obsession."

The Curator

Curators are a race of space bats that hoard treasures in the High Wilderness. The Short-Sighted Cryptozoologist thinks they might be the same race as the Masters.


Curators' Eggs

Curators attach their large, papery eggs in between asteroids. These Eggs can contain other treasures, and horrors, as well. 


Named Curators

  • Mr Barleycorn in The House of Rods and Chains, a servant of The Halved.
  • Mr Menagerie, a wanderer initially encountered in New Winchester.
  • Mr Pennies in Lustrum, who trades in Hours because he is using them to keep a bunch of other, extremely elderly, Curators alive in a cave on the Mother of Mountains.
  • Mr Pipes in Achlys, who runs a pleasure house.
