Syhk by ~Chalybis, adopted by Jakeukalane

Original text, inspiration from the image and the reference chart of the Syhks. The Syhks are a specie designed by Chalybis.


The Syhks are terrible beings that inhabit a lot of planets and places all arround the Milegu, like the Ewdtia Planet, Echlye, Neshl Earth or the Qhot-naun-phaqiasiari Planet. In many cases, they can move on land, so sometimes are named as shark-wolves, because they ferocity and carnivorous diet. The variety of sizes of the Syhks corresponds to the large number of habitats in which they live: from the Arctic oceans, tropics, as well as rivers or lakes where species of Syhks are of small size.

The Syhks of Ewdtia

Although not original from Ewdtia, this is one of the Planets where the Syhks have a greater population and, at the same time they influenced Ewdtia since ancient times.

The Syhks in Ewdtia are categorized with other shirkoiveans races, due to its selacimorfos traits (ie, shark-like) and their ability to move on land. They are great predators.

The Giant Syhks of Ewdtia

In Ewdtia there are several varieties of Syhks, the best known being the Giant Syhks. With 4 meters high and nearly 11 meters long, the size of the Giant Syhks and their agility on land make them an extremely dangerous  species and one of the most feared among all shirkoiveans species.

The Giant Syhks descended from Artic Syhks in their home-planet (of which there is only speculation and little or nothing is known). Therefore, the color of the Giant Syhks is a deep blue color.

Although most of Ewdtia Syhks hunt fish, ichthyoiveans beings, ketoiveans beings and sometimes to other shirkoiveans beings, attacks inside mainland are mostly caused by Giant Syhks.

The great coordination of those attacks (as the ones that produced the destruction of Xiwotlaubla —capital of Piskytleunda, an upandu state— and, much later, the fall of the Acuatic upandu Kingdom of Eeluva and the upandu Kingdom of Ktarissailias) suggest that Syhks are beings with high intellectual capacity.

The attacks caused by Syhks to populations of Sea Upandu are also important, however, because of the large amount of time the Sea Upandu have faced the threat of Syhks and also due to the formation of armies of defense, Syhks so often prefer to avoid attacking so frequently the Sea Upandu. There are even areas where Syhks have fled because of the very tight control Aquatic Upandu exercise over their territories.

Other Syhks of Ewdtia

While the Giant Syhks have interfered in a frequent and loudly way in Ewdtia's history and specifically in upandu policy, Ocean Syhks have barely interacted with other species.

There are even indications that Syhks Ocean (somewhat smaller) have formed primitive nations, administered in the manner of small territories-state, very little large but with a real control of the territory.

In contrast with the Giant Shyks, Oceanic Syhks coexist more frequently with other shirkoiveans species and even ketoiveans species, hunting almost exclusively species related to fish (ichthyoiveans).

The Syhks of Echlye

In Echlye and Trunakhi (Clon-Worlds between them) there are importat comunities of Syhks of all kinds, from Coastal Syhks and Lacustrine Syhks, to Artic Syhks, Giant Syhks and Ocean Syhks. In Echlye, some humanoid beings use them as mounts, due their incredible velocity. However, there are little few Syhks that tolerate to have a harness or to let ride them or to use them to transportate canoes or small barges.

In the early days when the "tame" of the Artic or Ocean Syhks began there were several deaths at this practice was abandoned and its use as a means of transport is very limited.

The Syhks of the Neshl Earth and Qhot-naun-phaqiasiari

As highly permeable worlds paradoxes that occur in the Milegu, both Neshl Earth (being a Changing Planet with a really strange features, where concentrates a greater number of paradoxes of what is normal in the 0-Milegu) as Qhot-naun-phaqiasiari (which has thosands of millions of connections of subworlds, most of them conected with other worlds, planets and distant Planes), have large populations Syhks (and other shirkoiveans species, such as Sharkeths).

There live beings not only the Neshl Earth or any of its near Realities, but hybrids Syhks with other species and the ones called Sages Syhks, very smart.

Shark wolves huh? That's really jawesome! I like how you added different kinds of them like a real species of animal would naturally have, making it more versatile and realistic, especially if they live in different climates.
