Garaggakal are believed to absorb and feed on the flat energies of the Drift and are said to hunt purely for pleasure. They build shelters on floating pieces of land in the Drift, which are always temporary and last only until the garaggakal moves to a better hunting area. Garaggakal are intelligent and curious about other creatures. They seem to divide all life into two categories: predators (themselves) and prey (everything else), making peaceful interaction almost impossible. For a garaggakal, the best way to learn more about a new species is to kill it, corrupt it, and eat it, not necessarily in that order.
