Satra Riders

Satra Riders were parasitic worms which lived inside their host body until they were adults at which point they poured out from every orifice of the body, leaving it to die a deflated husk. The Riders left behind eggs which then infected those eating the remains. They occurred in the region of Kolanse.Dust of Dreams, Prologue, UK HB p.4
The term 'Satra Riders' may have been invented by Badalle rather than being the actual name of the worms, as Saddic is thinking that Badalle gave names to the things of this new world.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 4, UK HB p.150
==In Dust of Dreams==
The boy Visto had been infected by Satra Riders possibly before being forced to flee his home but certainly early on in the march of the Snake.Dust of Dreams, Prologue, UK HB p.4 He was killed one night when the Riders eventually emerged from his body.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 4, UK HB p.147
