| - From [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Mendicant]] mendīcāns, present participle of mendīcō (“‘beg’”).
- The Mendicant is a ground support strain developed by the Scylla Brood to combat the infestors of the Swarm.
- A Mendicant was mentioned in connection with drakes, the Tanno pilgrim ships. It was said that a drake would normally have a Tanno Spiritwalker or at the very least a Tanno Mendicant on board and it was inferred that the presence of either of these would keep sickness from taking hold on board as well as keep the vessel safe from everything but the fiercest storms. It is thus probable that Mendicant was a Tanno title/occupation and ranked below that of a Spiritwalker.
- The term mendicant (Latin mendicans, begging) refers to begging or relying on charitable donations, and is most widely used for religious followers or ascetics who rely exclusively on charity to survive. In principle, mendicant orders or followers do not own property, either individually or collectively, and have taken a vow of poverty, in order that all their time and energy could be expended on practicing or preaching their religion or way of life and serving the poor.

In principle, mendicant orders or followers do not own property, either individually or collectively, and have taken a vow of poverty, in order that all their time and energy could be expended on practicing or preaching their religion or way of life and serving the poor. Many religious orders adhere to a mendicant way of life, including the Catholic mendicant orders, Hindu ascetics, some dervishes of Sufi Islam, and the monastic orders of Jainism and Buddhism. In the Catholic Church, followers of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Dominic became known as mendicants, as they would beg for food while they preached to the villages.
