Scytans

Scytans are are one of the largest organisms on Sekmet, growing to be 10 feet tall. They have large water and fat reserves around their ribs, giving them their fat appearances. Similar to Sand Devils, they turn white during the day and black during the day. However, during mating season, females will display wonderful patterns on their skin and fight for the smaller males which grown to be about 8 feet tall. The strongest and colorful female wins.

They also have an amazing sense of smell, which helps them locate chemosyntetic plants, which they chop up with their scythe-like claws. They then use their long tongues grab the cut up pieces. To avoid storm they can burry themselves and hold their breath for 12 hours and can even slow down their metabolism if the storm is bad enough.
