Ilharth enjoys digging and tunneling, though not with his claws. He has joined the team of miners at Nidus Descendi who build rock tunneling equipment to create new niduli to live in, and he seems to have a sense for when a natural seam is likely to be found-- though that seems to be skill and intuition, rather than a proper or magical ability. His ability to tinker comes in handy with keeping equipment running. He isn't too chatty, but most of the folks he works with are similarly inclined, and so he has a kind of quiet camaraderie in his day-to-day life.
