The Troglodon deigns to serve as a mount for the tiny Oracle and, once bound into service, the loathsome beast will never abandon its master. A Skink Oracle, a lone Skink spawned with a forked tail, can instantly tame the Pale Death, often adorning it with gems or precious metals to show its sacred status.
The ferocious creatures are untameable and all who approach a Troglodon provoke a lethal attack, with one exception. Skink Priests claim that the twin-tailed beasts are marked by the Old Ones, the Serpent God Sotek or perhaps both.
