Harrekki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harrekki are a species in the fictional world of Earthsea.

Harrekki are tiny dragon-like lizards, found in the East Reach, most commonly on the populous island of Iffish. They live in oak trees, and eat wasps, worms and eggs. Harrekki typically grow no bigger than an adult human's hand, and are often kept as pets.

On his travels across Earthsea, Ged visited Iffish, the home of his classmate Vetch on Roke. There he met Vetch's sister Yarrow, who kept a harrekki as a pet. Ged told Yarrow he was going to the West Reach, where dragons are as common as mice. Yarrow said he should instead stay on Iffish, where dragons are as small as mice.
