Skeksis
The Skeksis are a fictional species which act as the main antagonists in the 1982 fantasy film ''The Dark Crystal'', its companion book ''The World of The Dark Crystal'' and the TokyoPop prequel ''Legends of the Dark Crystal''. They are also referenced as an alien race in S03E07 of Farscape and are strikingly similar in appearance to the Halosians in S02E09 of the same show, which was produced by Jim Henson Productions. The word "Skeksis" serves as both singular and plural form for this species, with the singular being pronounced 〔 and the plural .〔 They are described by concept artist Brian Froud as, "... part reptile, part predatory bird, part dragon." In the film, the Skeksis are represented by puppets engineered under the direction of Jim Henson. Jim Henson said that in the development of the Skeksis, the creators drew inspiration from the Seven Deadly Sins.〔(The Book of Habidabad - Of the Nature of Skeksis )〕

Jim Henson was inspired to design the Skeksis by an illustrated edition of a Lewis Carroll poem showing two elegantly dressed crocodiles in a bathroom. He became intrigued with the idea of a reptilian race assuming control over a formerly splendid past society.〔(The Book of Habidabad - Production Notes )〕 Numerous names were proposed for the species, including Skekses, Reptus, Karackt and Skek-sis.〔(The Book of Habidabad - Interesting Facts )〕
Henson himself commented on the difficulty of performing as a skeksis:
