 Once found in abundance, glass-eaters have been driven to the brink of extinction, hunted for centuries. The [[Looliers]] are known to have used various glass-eater organs for smilching. Glass-eater meat has been valued as a delicacy since ancient times, used by many a [[Speedish Chefs|Speedish Chef]]. Most recently, the extremely hard teeth were used in the production of [[Qulirian Energy Converter]]s.
-However, in the last two decades, a stigma has cultivated around the killing of glass-eaters. This can be attributed to a campaign by [[Turboduck]] and their famous anthem "Gloddy the Glass-eater”, incorporating a traditional Shepenorian Glass-eater Dance rhythm. Glass-eaters are sacred in [[Shepenor|Shepenorian]] folklore, and feature prominently in the town's music.
