Shriek: Scholars call these tall, lean darkspawn the sharlock, though they are more popularly known as “shrieks” due to the ear-splitting cries they emit when in battle. Many tales exist of soldiers being unnerved by the sounds of approaching shrieks, cloaked in darkness and never seen until the moment they strike. Horrors of the night, shrieks are renowned for their incredible speed and agility as well as their stealth. They are the assassins of the darkspawn, penetrating the enemy lines and striking their targets using long, jagged blades attached to their forearms to rip their opponent to shreds in seconds. They have been known to employ poison, often drawn from their own blood, and have demonstrated cunning group tactics when attacking in numbers.

Shriek
Los estudiosos llaman sharlocks a estos altos y fuertes engendros, aunque son más popularmente conocidos como "shrieks" (gritos) debido a los gemidos chirriantes que emiten en el campo de batalla. Existen muchas historias de soldados que quedan aterrados por los sonidos de los shrieks al acercarse, envueltos en la oscuridad y ocultos hasta el momento en que atacan. Horrores de la noche, los shrieks son famosos por su increíble velocidad y agilidad, así como su sigilo. Son los asesinos de los engendros, penetran en las líneas enemigas y golpean a sus objetivos utilizando hojas irregulares y largas adheridas a sus antebrazos con las que despedazan a su oponente en cuestión de segundos. Se sabe que emplean veneno, a menudo extraído de su propia sangre, y han demostrado tácticas astutas al atacar en grupo.
