Skednan

Skednan is a scuttlepede. It serves as a mount for the witch Shala, who uses it to transport the Apprentice through the Great Southern Wastes to be inducted into a coven of witches intent on overthrowing the wizard Adan.

When the Apprentice attempts to sneak away while the other witches are distracted, Skednan attempts to eat her shreep (as well as her friends and the Apprentice herself), but the Apprentice manages to tame it and ride it all the way to the domain of the Frog-Men.
