Tusked seal

Tusked seals were native to the cold waters of northwestern Lether. Some weighed as much as an ox and sported tusks longer than a shortsword.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 8, US HC p.205 During the winter season they returned in large numbers to the breeding beds of Calach Bay.Midnight Tides, Chapter 1, US SFBC p.33 There they were hunted by the Arapay and Hiroth tribes of the Tiste Edur for whom they were a major source of food.Midnight Tides, Chapter 1, US SFBC p.33/44 The bottom of the bay's clear waters glittered with the bones of thousands of slaughtered animals from previous harvests.Midnight Tides, Chapter 1, US SFBC p.40 The Hiroth's hunting rights within Calash Bay were protected by treaty with the Kingdom of Lether.
Tusked seal sperm, combined with orange rinds and honey, was used in Letheras to make alcoholic Tusked Milk.Midnight Tides, Chapter 4, US TPB p.106 Tusked seal ivory was carved and used for multitudes of purposes among the Letherii such as "mimicking religious objects from the Edur, the Jheck and the Fent, or as playing pieces for a game".Reaper's Gale, Chapter 2
