Editing Sariant Lambs (section)

== Overview ==

Sariant Lambs are omnivorous<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/03/08/9-39/ Chapter 9.39]</ref> and mostly live in herds. Sariant Lambs are  sentient and therefore understand speech, learn to read and write, and can perform tasks such as unlocking doors. Performing more complex tasks is not limited by their intelligence, but their weak, small and dexterously limited bodies.  Their fur is valuable, although they will suffer if too much is cut off.

Sariant Lambs prefer to avoid large cities, valuing safety over luxury. Once they "settle down," they will breed until their population is large enough for another herd to split and "infest" another place. Their natural predators are anything that can't be bought by cuteness, such as Crelers, undead, and Eater Goats.<ref name=":0" />

Their primary survival mechanism is to find someone to take care of them, which they accomplish by acting cute and cuddly. This method is immensely effective, with cases of even monsters protecting and feeding them in the wild,<ref>[[Chapter 7.54]]</ref><ref name=":0">[[Interlude – The Pets of Innworld|Interlude - The Pets of Innworld]]</ref> though in practice, most monsters will eat a Sariant Lamb before realizing they are being charmed.<ref>{{VERef|10.18 E}}</ref> However, once they successfully ingratiate themselves, they will become hedonistic and leech off their hosts.

For the most part, Sariant Lambs are manipulative bullies, as they exhibit behavior such as stealing food or drawing people's attention away from work and will also ''demand'' affection.

A popular rumor is the existence of a Sariant Lamb "cabal" manipulating people behind the scenes. While the Sariant Lambs are not as organized as rumor makes them out to be, there is a form of infrastructure in place between herds of Sariants across the world for the sake of finishing the Trials of Leveling. They struggle as a species to achieve leveling, just like other intelligent monster species like [[Gargoyles]] and [[Trolls]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/08/06/interlude-the-competition/ Interlude - The Competition]</ref> Every ten years every Sariant Lamb hears the trials of leveling in their heads. Thus far, they have been unable to complete any trials.
