20 51 Perhaps she would have had her thrown naked into the clutches of the insidious leech plants of Gor or have had her fed to the giant urts in the dungeons beneath her own palace.

23 191 Already the bosk were growing uneasy at the smell of death and already the grass about the camp was rustling with the movements of the tiny brown prairie urts, scavengers, come to feed.

18 206 "I had," he said, "shortly before the fire developed a strain of urts resistant to the Dar-Kosis organism; a serum cultured from their blood was injected in other animals, which subsequently we were unable to infect.
18 402 I could smell wet straw in the place, and the excrement of urts and a human being.
18 410 Each of his limbs, and his throat, was separately confined, each chained individually to the wall, each chain running to a separate ring bolted in the stone; any one of the chains would have been sufficient to hold a man; I gathered that this prisoner must be unusual indeed; I observed, further, tha...
18 413 As I did so I saw four or five urts run for various small crevices in the stone.
18 423 I looked on that small, trembling, skeletal body, the straggly hair, the sores; the mutilated ear; angrily I rose to my feet and searched about, finding some loose stone which, with my foot, I wedged into the several crevices through which the urts had darted.
18 439 I did not know what its shock would be to his system, after apparently months of torture, confinement, fear, poor food, the water, the urts.

9 108 When threatened from the outside, the men of Port Kar have, desperately and with the viciousness of cornered urts, well defended themselves.
9 501 I heard one of the giant canal urts twist in the water somewhere beneath me.
9 507 Somewhere I heard the squealing and thrashing of two of the giant urts fighting in the water, among the floating garbage.
9 571 "I am going to throw her to the urts," said Surbus.
9 573 "To the urts!" laughed Surbus, looking down at her.
9 575 The giant urts, silken and blazing-eyed, living mostly on the garbage in the canals, are not stranger to bodies, both living and dead, found cast into their waters.
9 576 "To the urts!" laughed Surbus.
9 641 Did she not understand that he would have hurled her bound to the urts in the canals? His hand lifted again, even more weakly, extended to me.
12 32 Already I could see the sleek, wet muzzles of urts, eyes like ovals of blazing copper, streaking through the dark waters toward the bag.
12 36 I heard an arrow flash into the water near me and heard a high-pitched pain squeal from one of the web-footed canal urts.
12 37 Then there was the sound of biting and tearing and thrashing in the water, as other urts attacked the injured one.
12 50 It disappeared beneath the water, dragged under by other urts.
16 326 I could see the shining eyes of urts, their noses and heads dividing the torchlit waters silently, their pointed, silken ears laid back against the sides of their heads.

5 4 The urt shields were still fastened to the mooring ropes, circular plates, preventing small port urts from boarding the ship.
5 5 The urts which had been placed in the lower hold, before making landfall in Lydius, those which had figured in my interrogation of the panther girls, Tana and Ela, had been removed the following morning.
5 11 The girls, Tana and Ela, by my order, had not known that the urts had been thrown from the ship.
5 13 As far as the girls knew there were still urts in the lower hold.
5 226 They remembered, I supposed, the urts, and understood what might be done to them, as they were now slave girls.
22 440 Indeed, so jealous of their prerogatives were the caste of thieves that they often hunted thieves who did not belong to the caste, and slew them, throwing their bodies to the urts in the canals.

1 143 How else could we tell ourselves from urts and sleen? What distinguishes us from such beasts? The ability to multiply and subtract, to tell lies, to make knives? No, I think particularly it is the sense of honor, and the will to hold one's ground.
13 453 This cry, like a stimulus, acted upon the others, as well; almost instantly, with the velocity that the stranger signal can course through a pack of urts, this shriek was picked up by those with it; then, the hall filled with their horrid howling, eyes blazing, led by the Kur with the ...

7 438 We then stripped her and put her in shackles in the dungeon, with the urts.

24 96 Chained nude in a dungeon, in the darkness, among the urts, she had screamed for mercy.

16 75 The top of the sixth tier and the bottom slats of the first tier are sheathed in tin, to prevent being gnawed by urts.
16 81 She is chained in such a way as to preclude movement which might tear at the mesh or break it, thus making possible the entry of urts, which might eat at her, lowering her price, and to preclude her tearing hysterically with her hands and fingernails at her own body, bloodying herself,...
16 83 The open spaces between the tin-sheathed, wood slats on the first tier are covered, from the bottom, by cleated mesh, which prevents urts from entering from the bottom.
16 102 I was terrified of urts.

1 450 "I want to bind her hand and foot and hurl her naked to the urts in the canals".
1 452 "If she is to be bound hand and foot and hurled naked to the urts in the canals, it is I who will do so".
1 693 Urt hunters swim slave girls, ropes on their necks, beside their boats in the dark, cool water of the canals, as bait for urts, which, as they rise to attack the girl, are speared.
2 63 "She is not worth tying at the end of a rope and using in the water as a bait for urts," called out a man, the fellow who had first suggested that she be removed from the sales position.
2 70 "See if you can get two tarsks from the urts!" There was again general laughter.
3 62 They are called the she-urts of the wharves.
4 364 "I have done nothing!" "Where do the she-urts band?" I asked.
4 378 She-urts sometimes gather at such places for their pick of the remnants of feasts.
4 440 She did not wish to pass me, but yet, on the other hand, she did not wish to leave a vicinity where the she-urts were common.
4 448 I think she was not used to seeing how Gorean men looked at women, at least slaves and low women, such as she-urts, assessing them for the furs and the collar.
4 460 In a few moments, beside one of the canals leading down to the wharves, in the vicinity of the Spice Pier, we came on four she-urts.
4 531 "Do not fret your heads about her, my pretty, little she-urts," I said.
4 534 "Is it true?" asked the leader of the she-urts.
4 543 "I hope for your sake," said the leader of the she-urts to the girl, "that you are not a slave".
4 598 The four she-urts, with which the blond-haired barbarian had fished for garbage in the canal, stood about.
4 640 "Slave! Slave!" screamed the leader of the she-urts to the bound girl.
4 643 Then the she-urts who had accompanied me to the station of the praetor, kicking and striking with their ropes, fell upon the bound slave.
5 274 She had stolen a garment and concealed herself, unmarked and uncollared, among she-urts.
32 201 Monkeys and tree urts, and snakes and insects, however, can also be found in this highest level.
32 206 In the ground zone, and on the ground itself, are certain birds, some flighted, like the hook-billed gort, which preys largely on rodents, such as ground urts, and the insectivorous whistling finch, and some unflighted, like the grub borer and land gim.
32 213 In the lower branches of the "ground zone" may be found, also, small animals, such as tarsiers, nocturnal jit monkeys, black squirrels, four-toed leaf urts, jungle varts and the prowling, solitary giani, tiny, cat-sized panthers, not dangerous to man.
32 214 On the floor itself are also found several varieties of animal life, in particular marsupials, such as the armored gatch, and rodents, such as slees and ground urts.
57 171 "What is done in Port Kar," asked Lana, "to a girl who is not found to be fully pleasing?" "Commonly," I said, "she is bound hand and foot and thrown to the urts in the canals".

7 61 Yet I knew that in the end even the mighty larl, if chained, must eventually succumb to the attack of endless streams of hissing urts.
16 528 "A pair of neck-harnessed urts," I told him.

18 525 Sometimes, too, the urts run across my legs, or nibble at them.

1 144 After she had been emptied of information she might then be bound naked and thrown to the urts in the canals, or, perhaps, if we wished, kept as a slave.
2 296 Behind the man, in the stern, lay the bloody, white-furred bodies of two canal urts.
2 300 The girl moves in the water which tends to attract the urts and, if no mishap occurs, may be used again and again.
2 303 She knows that if she is not cooperative she will be simply bound hand and foot and thrown alive to the urts.
2 304 This modality of hunting, incidentally, is not as dangerous to the girl as it might sound, for very few urts make their strike from beneath the surface.
4 226 The girls were as quiet as tiny, silken field urts in the presence of forest panthers, being conducted in their cage between the ranks of the soldiers.
16 152 They would presumably classify it with sleen or urts, not men.
17 580 "Even if they think they are all urts, or lizards or clouds?" "I gather so," I said, "and in such a society the one who does not think that he is an urt, or, say, a lizard or a cloud, would be accounted insane".

30 159 These she-urts have their gangs and territories.

13 330 In this I supposed they tended to make their presence among the urts less obvious to outside observers and perhaps, too, less obvious, or obtrusive, to the urts themselves.
8 143 "It could be urts," said a man.
8 145 Certain species of urts migrate twice a year.
8 151 Similarly urts of the sort which live on garbage cast into the canals will often, unhesitantly, attack swimmers.
8 157 There was at least one good additional reason, incidentally, for supposing that whatever might be perplexing the brigands was not urts.
8 158 The urts do not make their kills neatly and silently.
9 115 I thought of vulos swarming forth to peck up scattered feed, of urts in the canals of Port Kar nosing swiftly toward emptied garbage, of sharks following a galley, of a larl lifting its head, to test the night air, of a sleen emerging from its burrow, silent, serpentine, hungry, intent...
12 694 "Shall you be sold for sleen feed? Shall we contrive exquisite tortures for you, say, cutting off bits of your body and cooking them, and forcing you to eat them, until from the loss of blood and tissue, you die, or should we bind you and sew you in a sack, your head exposed, with rabid urts
13 221 They helped to keep food out of the reach of urts, and, at night, could be used for sleeping.
13 284 For some reason, not clear to me at that time, the urts seldom attack them.
13 329 They did tend to resemble the natural noises of urts.
13 339 Probably long ago, as some forms of urts became commensals with human beings, so, too, some humans may have become commensals, traveling companions, sharers at the same table, so to speak, with the migratory urt packs.
14 1 The urts; How Nim Nim Was Made Welcome in the Pack; The Warrior's Pace "There!" squealed the small creature.
14 9 "urts find way!" "Strip, enter the cubicle of the bathing cisterns," had said our jailer, five of his fellows, armed, behind him, before dawn.
14 261 urts looked much alike from my point of view.
14 264 "There is," and he made a whistling sound, "and there is," and then again he made a piping, hissing, whistling noise, pointing out two urts.
14 275 I knew that even strange urts were often torn to pieces when they attempted to approach a new pack.
14 281 urts tend to be myopic.
14 303 Nim Nim began to utter reassuring noises to the urts.
14 306 Perhaps, too, some of these were signals used by the urts themselves.
14 311 There was suddenly from one of the urts an angry, intense, shrill, high-pitched, hideous squeal.
14 336 In fury I sprang towards him, tearing urts back and away from him.
14 342 Other urts pressed forward, many of them squealing and trying to clamber over their fellows, in order to reach what was now left of Nim Nim.
14 343 I then, my legs brushing against urts, backed from the pack.
14 400 I wedged between urts.
14 406 One climbed over the bodies of the closely packed urts, snapping and snarling.
14 407 Its jaws came within a foot of me, and then it fell between the startled urts, it spinning about then, confused.
14 408 I kept pushing through the urts, toward the other side of the pack, more than a hundred and fifty yards away.
14 419 Nothing could follow me through the urts.
14 428 I saw a sleen rearing up on its hind legs, its shoulders and head emergent from the hill of swarming, clambering urts.

11 1126 Perhaps then, eventually, you would be forgotten, save perhaps by a warden and some urts.
13 303 "urts," said the female slave with the torch.
15 4 Sometimes an urt, a small rodent, not like the large urts in the pool, scurried past.
24 446 She had been taken from the top of the tower before I had been entered into the concealed shoot which had sped me far below the city, to the net suspended over the pool, that to which the giant urts had access.
25 14 His lower body was filthy as it seemed that one or more of the tunnels had been flooded to the height of a man's waist, to facilitate the entry of water urts and tharlarion.
34 81 The black-tunicked men had had better fortune in another passage, where five urts had charged them.
34 85 The men had then pursued the two wounded urts, following a trail of blood, until they had them cornered, quarrels hanging from their flanks, where they slew them, hissing and snarling, against a gate with further quarrels.
34 87 The bows had served, in their way, as shields, the urts snapping at them, clinging to them, permitting the defender to draw and hack at their stretched necks with his sword.
37 325 Most species of urts are small, weighing less than a pound.
37 374 But at that moment we heard, from down the passage, in the darkness, a hideous, but unmistakable human cry, which was followed, almost instantly, by a violent squealing of urts.
37 375 "urts!" cried a man.
37 382 Ours, perhaps fearing to be separated in this place, we helpless, urts about, hurried behind.
37 384 Also, in a moment, I could see a mound of twisting, squealing urts, clambering over and about something, biting at it.
37 392 The lieutenant, the six men, two with lamps, stood back from the pile of frenzied urts.
37 408 The fellow who had been pulling the urts aside now stood back.
37 409 His hands and forearms were covered with blood, but much of it, I am sure, was from the fur and jaws of the urts.
37 412 The urts now dragged the body of the dead urt, now half eaten, its bones about, to the wall, where they continued their feeding.
37 417 urts seldom attack their own kind unless their fellow behaves in an erratic fashion, as it might if injured or ill.
37 433 urts still squealed and stirred to the side.
37 459 Too, the urts were quieter now.
37 472 He had then cried out, as though under attack, and, doubtless at the same time, during that seemingly agonized, hideous cry, fired into the urts at point-blank range, thereby killing or wounding one of them, and initiating the feeding frenzy.
37 477 He had killed two men in this fashion and, had the urts behaved differently, might have accomplished the destruction of one or two others.
37 511 The first was he who had been given the unenviable task of separating the feeding urts.
37 516 The urts had been much at him.
37 518 He had been left where he was, that the urts would be less dangerous, from a heavy feeding.
