'''Chelon''' are large livestock animals native to the planet [[Hagia]]. They are a dominant feature of the planet's agriculture, and can be seen virtually anywhere in the countryside.{{Fn|1b}} [[Saint Sabbat]] herself was the daughter of a shepherd.{{Fn|1a}}
"'''Ershul'''" is a slang word from [[Ylath]], the dialect of Hagian herdsmen, for a chelon that eats its own feces. [[Ayatani]] [[Zweil]] refused to refer to the [[Infardi]] [[cult]]ists invading Hagia by that name, since it was a loan word referring to pilgrims on Saint Sabbat's trail, and decided that "ershul" was a more appropriate appellation. The [[Tanith First and Only]] with whom Zweil traveled adopted the name during their journey to retrieve Sabbat's remains, and to defend the Holy Shrinehold from the Chaos attack.{{Fn|1b}}
