Shyix

Shyixes are one of the many horrid species of daemon. As is common with this kind, shyix typically live underground, and react violently when subjected to daylight. The shyix have the unique aspect of being one of the smallest species of daemons. They still remain as one of the most dangerous, however, and generally inhabit the Combs of the Zalamoses. 
==Physical Appearance==
The shyix has a gangly, vaguely ape-like form with a decayed look to it. Their skin seems to wrap around their bones, which is what contributes to the decayed, skeletal appearance they're infamous for. It is believed by the way their skin is around the bones as such because they have no internal organs, so the skin is adhered to their skeletons instead. They have a large crest on their heads formed of horns and fins, both of which are sparsely placed on the arms, legs, and backs of the daemons. Their eyes are sunken into their heads, beadier than they may once have been but still quite large. They have no outer nose, only two slits directly between the eyes that quiver and flare when in use.
Beneath these are the mouth, which is argued to be the most dangerous part of the shyix daemon. When its mouth is closed, it appears that the shyix is sucking on its bottom lip, the lower part of the mouth held inside its maw. When roaring and/or attacking, however, it is revealed that its lower jaw is just much longer than the top. The bones of the lower jaw are like that of a snakes, having only the two side bones to maintain the shape of the mouth, with a stretchy ligament connecting the bones on the front. 
The feet of the shyix is digitrade, and peculiarly enough so are its foreclaws despite being an anthropoid. All of its claws have three digits each; the arms have spikes on the elbows, while the legs have spikes on the hocks. The shyix daemon can both walk on two legs and four, typically only performing the latter when climbing around in its lair(s).

==Trivia==
* So far shyix daemons have not been encountered in the movies, or at least not being shown to be encountered. Their lair, the Combs of the Zalamoses, are mentioned by Maiara Dragonsbane however during her tirade in Destiny's Courage.
* A point of reference for the mouth, Nichole Reynolds commented that the shyix daemon's mouth was inspired by the Hydra from Disney's Hercules, but made with anatomical rules applied to it.
