==Speculation==
;Free will
Since the kaliri have been domesticated by the arakkoa and used as pets, it's unclear why they would need to be corrupted to serve the arakkoa that are loyal to Terokk. It's possible they can sense the evil and choose not to serve Terokk's minions.
;Raven link
Grishna Falconwing have an ability to summon a "Grishna Kaliri" as a guardian pet, however, the bird appears as a raven and is even named Grishna Raven. The spell name is probably an error, though it could also imply a link between the raven and Kaliri, like one being a more corrupted version of the other.
