Larkin may have some sort of special connection to the [[Tai-na]]; [[Vstim]] says that [[Chiri-Chiri]] is given to [[Rysn]] by [[Relu-na]] itself.{{book ref|sa2|i|3}} They are also very closely related to [[lanceryn]].{{wob ref|6497}}
=== Feeding on
The most outstanding feature of larkin is their ability to feed on [[Investiture]] (commonly [[Stormlight]], as they originate from Roshar). This ability is related to both [[Chromium#Allomantic Use|Leechers]] and [[Nightblood]].{{wob ref|5023}} They can suck Stormlight out of [[Surgebinder]]s and [[Shardplate]] at will, causing the Light to stream visibly through the air and into the larkin's mouth.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}{{wob ref|3864}} Larkin can also eat Stormlight that has been stored in gems and drain the [[Voidlight]] from a [[Fused]]. After absorbing a large amount of Stormlight from the [[King's Drop]], Chiri-Chiri becomes noticeably bigger.{{book ref|sa3|i|13}} Since larkin feed on Investiture, they are incapable of pushing it ''into'' people.{{wob ref|3231}}
A larkin would be able to prevent someone from becoming [[Returned]] by ingesting the [[Divine Breath]] as it attempted to enter the person.{{wob ref|6364}} Larkins could also kill a Returned by feeding on all of their Investiture.{{wob ref|13419}}
