Rhizan first appear in Deadhouse Gates as small flying desert creatures that flit over cracked surfaces alongside capemoths, establishing them as part of the Seven Cities ecosystem. Their presence in the harsh desert environment of Raraku and surrounding regions marks them as resilient survivors of the wasteland, their delicate wings carrying them across the cracked earth where few other creatures can thrive. Throughout the series, these diminutive flyers serve as atmospheric indicators of the desert's harsh beauty and the ever-present life that persists even in the most inhospitable conditions.
