Crivitt's Attendant
It is unclear of their origin, but the first known Attendant specimen dates back to the discovery of Crivitt's disorder, or its emergence, depending on which theory you subscribe to.
The obvious physical relationship between Attendants and Chobblins has sparked speculation into a possible genetic relationship. The primary theory, advanced by Pardir Nahir: Clever One is that the Clearchus Sect, an annecdotal scientific organization, attempted to revive the Chobblin race from extinction, fearing the Nelhaalu Discrepancy would diverge from the Nerhaalu Compliance, as per the Prophetic Planks of Dim Hadir Nal Pa'Walluu'uu'u. Fearing that Chobblins' aid woudl once again be needed to preserve mankind along it's Tent Path, they stole genetic samples from the crown of the Last Chobblin King/ However, their techniques were unsuccessful, and the result was the Prime Attendant, the first such attendant, and a being considered an attendant of all things. At the same time, someone near by began suffering the tell-tale "fruit winter" of Crivitt's disease. There is no corroborative evidence to support this theory, except circumstantial evidence, and that the brightness of lamps is affected when this theory is mentioned aloud in a room with lamps. That's pretty eerie; I've seen it.
