Denizens of the Aiel Waste

There are many unusual and dangerous creatures in the Aiel Waste. Most have but a single reference.

References

• TSR,Ch48 - Aviendha teaches Rand about the denizens of the Aiel Waste including the gara and the two-step. The gara is a lizard about two feet long with bronze and yellow scales. Though slow moving, it can bite through a boot and is poisonous enough to kill a bull. The two-step is a small brown snake of the Aiel Waste. It is so poisonous that its bite kills before the victim can take more than two steps.
• TSR,Ch52 - Amys warns Nynaeve that a mountain king is as deadly in the dream as it is in the waking world.
• TFoH,Ch2 - Jheran is disgusted with the spears who have succumbed to the bleakness, slinking away like stinkadders.
• TFoH,Ch4 - Aviendha calls Isendre a sorda. The sorda is a sly rat of the Aiel Waste. It is good for absolutely nothing.
• TFoH,Ch6 - Han thinks worries that in chasing the Shaido Rand's forces will be strung out like blindworms in the sun.
• TFoH,Ch13 - Elayne notes that Valan Luca's circus has a capar, a creature of the Aiel Waste that looks like a large, hairy boar with a pointed snout and toes with claws.
• TFoH,Ch21 - In Jangai Pass, Aviendha kills a bloodsnake, a large brown snake three paces long. Its bite turns the blood to jelly in minutes, but its white meat makes a good stew. That does not bother Rand nearly as much as the gara, which tastes like chicken.
