Sesheyan homeworld.

Sheyan Fauna

The jungles of Sheya are filled with a wide variety of animal and plant life. Two of the better known Sheyan predators are described here. Issha

Issha are tree-dwelling reptiles similar to Terran snakes. An issha has a blunt, triangular head with three eyes along each side and deep pits behind the eyes which serve as scent organs. The body is up to 4 meters long and muscular, covered with fine scales and patterned to match the jungle foliage. The issha has a hinged jaw, allowing it to swallow its prey whole. The jaw is equipped with fangs that inject a deadly venom. Issha coil around tree limbs where they wait to drop on unsuspecting prey. The sesheyans use is- sha hide to make fine, soft leather.

Ska Ska are large jungle carnivores similar to great cats. They are hexipedal, having six legs. The rear two pair of legs are adapted for running and climbing, while the front pair are for climbing and fighting, al- lowing the ska to rear up on its back four legs and slash with its front claws. If it manages to strike with its foreclaws, the ska can also rake with its middle claws. It also has a jaw full of sharp, bony ridges capable of inflicting a terrible bite. The ska’s hide is striped or dappled, providing camouflage in the jungle. It has poor vision, but its senses of hearing and smell are incredibly sharp, allowing it to stalk prey in near-total darkness using scent and vibration alone. Ska tend to be solitary hunters, occasionally appearing in mated pairs. They rest atop tree branches, sleeping during the daytime and hunting at night. Sesheyans consider the ska the fiercest and most dangerous prey in their native jungles. Sesheyan hunters often make use of ska hide, teeth, and claws as decorations, and weapons carved from ska bone are considered the most potent.
