Shiksak

Warning Spoilers through Rising Tides.The Shiksak are first mentioned in Maelstrom [C Pb. p 253]. They are large, mostly aquatic creature, but come ashore to mate and lay eggs on Yap Island (AKA Shikarrak). They have short fore legs, large powerful rear limbs and move on land by hopping frog-like. The color of their skin is adaptive, taking on that of their surroundings. They are seen often in Rising Tides as a danger to Dennis Silva's party of escapees from HIMS Ajax.
