Think it’s about time I introduce you to Sekka.
Nocturnal Sekka These are the most common species of Sekka, nocturnal Sekka. They stand about a meter high and as their name suggests they are nocturnal, primarily scavenging and rarely preying on sleeping animals. As an opportunist they’re drawn to bushfires, snatching anything that didn’t make it.
The feathers are simlar to emus feathers and beaks pseudotooth.
Sekka are the closest living relative to Rikeuninerd.
They really like sweet stuff. They like eating a nectar equiverlant to honey and have a long tong for this. The tapered snout is good for digging into nests.
Their big eye brows and eye lashes are to prevent sand from getting into their large eyes.
Sekka use their modified wings to stab prey, however nocturnal sekka rarely kill with them, so their wings are small.
The species has been domesticated.
Domestic Ssca Sekka Ok so imagine if you crossed a crocodile and a pug. Then made it big. That’s pretty much it.
A domestic species of Nocturnal Sekka originally domesticated by Ssca to clear tunnel systems. The breed is particularly aggressive and highly fire adverse, this is because fire was heavily weaponised by Ssca in early wars and having your dogs go into feral hunting mode while on patrol isn’t very useful.
There the same size as a wild Sekka, but there proportions are different. The breeds stockier and favours strength over flexibility, and has a short tail cause they’d get caught in things.
They have a very strong bite, but still like eating honey.
The particular individual depicted is Hi-ruh, who belongs to counter ops section 171. Hi-ruh ended up here cause Carl left Ssca and took Hi-ruh with him. Hi-ruh likes to eat bees wax crayons.
There are feral populations around Ruka.
Diurnal Sekka My favourite Sekka. Look at this creature.
Diurnal Sekka are in a subfamily all my themselves and are the only Sekka to be diurnal. To cope with Scayikra’s UV they have small red eyes and thick black skin.
They take the whole fire thing to the next level. Activity seeking out and spreading bushfires, there rough mottled also dark skin helps them blend in with the burnt environment. They lack feathers to prevent catching fire and use a lot of energy keeping cool.
Often in small family groups, they can gather in large hords during fire season however.
There fast runners, there long legs also keep them off the hot sand. To hunt they’ll strategically scare prey with fire, sprint up to them and jolt out there wings to impale them.
They are very culturally significant in Scayikra, representing the Scayiaa Fire deity.
Diurnal Sekka are friendly because there an apex predator. They don’t have a need to attack/fear anything, unless it’s attempted to harm them.
They are intelligent, equivalent to a crow.
This particle individual is Hy-dada-ko, who was picked up by Terry while wandering around in the desert, or more so Hy-dada-ko picked Terry. Stays with the counter ops section and also really likes Eleanor (they can commit arson together on Ssca).
