This is Malearmis (mal-ay-arm-es). It was created by Khala for the purpose of protecting Khala's home and children from harm. However, over time Khala became somewhat attached to it, treating it as one of their own children.

The inky blackness of the body can be molded into tools or weapons for Malearmis to use. The floating metal wing can be used as a sort of shield or sharp weapon. It floats around Malearmis and listens to it's silent commands.
