Grep
Source: Valda’s Spire of Secrets (2024) p. 0

A grep is an underground scavenger, known for using its keen vision, acute hearing, and silent flight to trick and steal from travelers, hoarding its possessions in well-hidden troves. Arcanists use greps as messengers and scouts, but they excel as retrievers; a grep can be given the name of an important object and sent to find it, returning a short time later with its prize.
