whats a gak

[Gak he/him]

Okay, so i have the recurring question of whats a gaks relation with straw, because in book one grandpa smedry says that their are no gaks here why do you think we keep around so much straw which suggests gaks are scared of straw, but later, when alcatraz says gak in front of the council of kings one of the monarchs in a straw hat yells hid your straw, which suggests the opposite.

Actually it was "Protect your straw" at the council of kings. (As per my memory)

It could potentially mean that they keep so much straw around as a distraction if they do show up because they would eat it.

Or, you know, Sanderson made a mistake somehow. But I’m just being silly, that’s impossible.

Or he contradicted himself on purpose.

I prefer to think that straw is some kind of a gak destroying weapon that they are bent on eliminating whenever they come across it, lest they be killed themselves by its powerful properties.

I personally agree. that sounds weird enough for an Alcatraz book
