Nikal (nee-kal)-a short bipedal creature that appears to be made of hard, white substance. Body, arms and legs are a tube-like shape. Hands are conical with rugged thin fingers coming out of the end. Feet are flat on the bottom and round on top. Head looks like two cups sitting on each other. The mouth is in the middle of the head and the eyes are long, thin, black slits above the mouth. Speech consists of a series of clicks and hisses.
The Nikal reside in areas of the world most find inhospitable. They are experts at finding sources of water and food in the harsh environment and live a nomadic life style. They also excel at finding anything lost. Despite the shifting landscape their uncommonly good sense of direction aides them in exploration.
