Shikelves are a forest, tree dwelling race by nature, having evolved in the dangerous forests of the Shiklesh continent. As such, they are well adapted to living and moving effortlessly and silently through a forest. They instinctively know how and where to place their hands, feet and body when in a forest. Because of this a Shikelf is able to effectively disappear once in a forest as a moments notice. Even when not trying to hide, they instinctively move silently which can unnerve people around them who are not use to their silence. They are so in tune with the rhythms, sounds and feel of a forest, they are a part of it, a part of the nature of the forest, a predator who belongs there just as much as any other predator in the woods.
