Skiraka

The Skiraka are a race of mutant Skakdi who live underwater in the lake at the center of Zakaz.

History
When Makuta Spiriah was conducting his experiments on the Skakdi, he chose a group of elite warriors to undergo a very different one. Using a concoction of viruses, Spiriah created an elixir which he thought would make the Skakdi powerful, immortal, and under his control. They were to be his secret army.

Unfortunately, the product of the experiment were mindless brutes, with more power than they knew how to use. Spiriah rejected them, and they fled to the waters in the center of the island of Zakaz. Here, they evolved, becoming semi-intelligent, and learning to use their abilities. They have remained there ever since.

Abilities and Traits
The Skiraka are strange beings, and thus have strange powers, including Stasis Vision, Temperature Control, and extreme Strength (despite their thin arms).
