lykan

Lykan refers to a fictional sentient species from the Mass Effect video game franchise. They are a race of silicon-based quadrupeds, known for their insectoid appearance and immense strength. Lykans are native to the planet Ebya and are a relatively reclusive species, rarely encountered by other galactic civilizations.

Physically, Lykans possess a hard exoskeleton that provides natural armor. They have four powerful limbs ending in sharp claws, allowing them to traverse difficult terrain and engage in combat effectively. Their heads are characterized by a distinct mandible structure and multiple eyes, granting them a wide field of vision. Lykan society is structured around a hive-like system, with a strong emphasis on collective well-being and a deep connection to their home world.

In the Mass Effect lore, Lykans are not a major playable race or a significant galactic power. They are primarily encountered as background elements or minor characters, often in regions less frequented by the main galactic powers like the Citadel Council races. Their unique biology and societal structure set them apart from the more common organic species, contributing to the diverse and rich universe of Mass Effect. Information regarding their technology or specific contributions to galactic events is limited, suggesting they maintain a degree of isolation.
