Lethrblaka is the adult form of the Ra'zac. In the Ancient Language, their name means "Leather flapper". They could hunt anything in Alagaësia. Oromis stated in Eldest that it was strongly believed by the Riders that the Lethrblaka had followed the humans to Alagaësia. Only two of these creatures survived the Ra'zac War. The humans tried to eradicate the Ra'zac and lethrblaka as quickly as possible. Two Lethrblaka escaped and made eggs. The Ra'zac and Lethrblaka now worked for King Galbatorix because he made a deal with them to work for him in exchange for their favorite food (human beings). Oromis stated that they are cruel twisted forms of dragons.
The Ra'zac used the Lethrblaka (their parents) for reaching places that would otherwise be inaccessible, such as their lair in Helgrind, where the Lethrblaka lived with their offspring.
One of the only things useful against Lethrblaka is magic, thus only a Dragon Rider on his/her dragon would have a fair chance of killing them.
In Brisingr, Saphira fights both Lethrblaka during the assault on Helgrind. She kills one in the cave and the other after chasing it to Leona Lake.
[edit] Appearance
They had tight corded muscles, very strong hind legs, thick hide, and eyes the size of a grown man's fist, with no pupil or iris. Its body had the appearance of a starved dog. They had large, leathery wings and seven-foot-long beaks. From the description in Eldest, the Lethrblaka slightly resemble a Pterosaur, only with four legs.
[edit] Etymology
In Icelandic, Leðurblaka, which is pronounced almost the same, means "bat", which a lethrblaka resembles.
