An '''arn''' was a rat-like creature about the size of a small [[human]] [[hand]], with [[teeth]] and [[poison]]ous [[claw]]s, which was used in a punishment by the [[Rhodian]]s against the [[Quill (species)|Quill]]. When they would release it into the [[brain]]s of those to be punished, it would burrow itself inside. The creatures would [[telepathy|telepathically]] link its host with a particular Rhodian, and the Quill would be their [[slave|slave.]] If they tried to remove the arn, it would kill them.
