Skrethen

Return to previous page.

Skrethens are short, fishlike humanoid sophonts which are mainly found within the Glacial Citadel, they use their claws to climb its walls of ice. They form massive groups on the walls of the Citadel and are rather sociable with other species, though alone on the ground, their personalities switch entirely. They become incredibly skittish and will try to climb back up as soon as they can. When hungry, a Skrethen will position itself in such a way that its snout resembles an icicle. Once prey has been spotted, it will launch itself off the walls with its talons outstretched, skewering its target before it notices something is up. The Skrethen will then drag its prey up into a hollow in the walls. The teeth inside of their snout are used for scraping new hollows into the ice.
