Furthermore, despite having alliances in the castle, they will often plot or have a rivalry (such in the case of SkekSil and SkekUng) against each other inside or outside of the alliance, heavily suggesting the Skeksis to be deceitful and double-crossing. Unlike their counterparts, who possess the positive composition of the UrSkeks, the Skeksis instead carry the negative as such being arrogant, egotistical, and have little to no regard for life or even each other. They wear heavy and elaborate but threadbare robes with carapaces on their backs to make themselves appear more larger and intimidating. Their bodies are usually slender and thin, and once have a second pair of arms before it withers and became atrophied as the Skeksis' reign goes by in later years. ![]() Spy the symbols of the urSkek, which have since been appropriated as signs of discord and Skeksis aggression.The Skeksis are part reptile, part predatory bird, and part dragon creatures. Familiar iconography from the floor of the Crystal Chamber is featured around the outside. The three different sized circular bases across our 1:6 scale Dark Crystal range represent the Three Suns in the skies of Thra the dying sun, rose sun, and great sun. ![]() Few, if any beings, were their equal, save for the swift-limbed Landstriders, whose long legs could pierce Garthim shells and whose courage could overcome the terror of their piercing purple eyes. Mightier than any of Thra's creatures, they smashed their way through almost any barrier, be it Podling homes or the walls of Aughra's observatory. With a mess of black legs, a polished jet-like carapace, and giant destructive claws, the Garthim were believed to be invincible. Within the shadowed passages and halls of the darkened castle they stood silent and unmoving sentinels on ceaseless watch, or cloistered in lightless pits, awaiting the orders of their draconic overlords. Dispatched from the Castle of the Crystal to enforce the Skeksis' campaign of brutality and genocide, the Garthim roved across Thra spreading terror wherever they went. Hulking, crab-like foot soldiers, the Garthim served their masters without question. Tools of war, devoid of thought or conscience a soulless army animated by arcane means, devoted and forever chained to the will of their masters the Garthim were appalling corruptions engineered by the Skeksis to carry out their brutal crusade against the Gelfling. It falls to the Gelflings Jen and Kira, the last of their kind, to fulfil the ancient prophecy. The Skeksis have remained separated from their other halves, the urRu, for too long only by repairing the Crystal of Truth can balance be restored to the world of Thra. As huge fans of Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal (1982), Weta Workshop is excited to dive into the world of Thra and create premium collectibles for this iconic film. ![]()
