Skoori

Skoori is a term that appears in multiple fictional and speculative contexts, and it does not have a single, universally accepted definition. In many sources, skoori is a proper noun used to name a group, species, or concept within a created world. Because the term is used across different media, its characteristics and significance vary with the source.

In science fiction and fantasy literature and media, skoori is often described as a nimble, enigmatic race or community. Depictions range from nomadic traders to cloaked artisans, frequently emphasizing distinctive language, customs, or technologies. Some stories attribute skoori with unique sensory abilities or specialized social structures, though these traits differ by narrative.

In discussions of world-building or linguistics among fans and scholars, skoori may serve as an informal stand-in name for an example culture or language. It is sometimes used to illustrate how trade networks, migration, or contact with other groups can shape language, etiquette, or technology in a speculative setting. The term is informal and not tied to a canonical scientific or disciplinary definition.

Origin and usage are informal; the term likely arose within online communities and fan-created worlds, gaining broader exposure through fan fiction and tabletop or role-playing games. As with many such neologisms, its meaning remains fluid and source-dependent; for precise usage, the specific work or community should be consulted.
