An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/9cXEaOZ9zvbiXQBJdgjbmg==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The Myrkas are robust creatures with six limbs (four legs and two arms), a long neck, flattened tail, webbed paws, a fin on their back, and a pair of white eyes. They can attack by generating electrical discharges, although when on land this attack is only effective at short range or if the victim is unfortunate enough to be in touch with a metallic structure that the Myrka is also touching.

  • Myrka were reptilian creatures with thick, rubbery skin, four legs, two arms, a long tail and a large head. They were taller than a human and much longer than a horse. They had wide, pale eyes and a large fin on their heads. Under their chins and around their bodies they had strange kelp-like growths. Myrkas were well adapted to deep-sea life, with large webbed feet, a flat tail and a powerful body. Myrkas could create powerful electrical charges. These charges were powerful enough to kill a human, but the target needed to be close or touching metal which the Myrka was also touching.

  • Myrka were reptilian creatures with thick, rubbery skin, four legs, two arms, a long tail and a large head. They were taller than a human and much longer than a horse. They had wide, pale eyes and a large fin on their heads. Under their chins and around their bodies they had strange kelp-like growths. Myrkas were well adapted to deep-sea life, with large webbed feet, a flat tail and a powerful body. Myrkas could create powerful electrical charges. These charges were powerful enough to kill a human, but the target needed to be close or touching metal which the Myrka was also touching. Because they were created from a deep-sea creature, their skin withstood a lot of damage. They were highly bullet-resistant, and could take out a missile by themselves. They could also survive on land, but they moved slowly and had trouble staying upright. On the other hand, due to their origin, they were very susceptible to bright lights and UV rays. Small amounts stunned and potentially blinded them, but large amounts killed them outright. (PROSE: The Scales of Injustice, TV: Warriors of the Deep) The smell of blood (even that of their own kind) could send Myrkas into a feeding frenzy. (PROSE: The Silurian Gift)
  • The Myrkas are robust creatures with six limbs (four legs and two arms), a long neck, flattened tail, webbed paws, a fin on their back, and a pair of white eyes. They can attack by generating electrical discharges, although when on land this attack is only effective at short range or if the victim is unfortunate enough to be in touch with a metallic structure that the Myrka is also touching. Their fully grown form is much larger and closely resembles a sea serpent; it is even possible that sightings of adult Myrkas may have inspired the sea monster legends of old, although there is no concrete evidence of this. As they naturally operate in the ocean, Myrkas are highly vulnerable to light in the UV spectrum. A concentrated beam of UV may even be used to kill them.
