The Myrka is a large species of reptile that was used by the Silurians for heavy backup in times of war. They were genetically modified by the Silurians from an unknown deep-sea creature.

Myrka are reptilian creatures with thick, rubbery skin, four legs, two arms, a long tail and a large head. They are taller then a human and much longer then a horse. They have wide, pale eyes and a large fin on their head. Under their chins and around their body they have strange kelp-like growths. Myrkas are well adapted to deep-sea life, with large webbed feet, a flat tail and a powerful body.

Myrkas can create powerful electrical charges. These charges are powerful enough to kill a human, but the target needs to be close or touching metal which the Myrka is also touching. Being created from a deep-sea creature, they are very tough and their skin can withstand a lot of damage. They can also survive on land, but they move slowly and have trouble staying upright. On the other hand, due to their origin, they are very susceptible to bright lights and UV rays. Small amounts can stun and blind them, but large amounts can kill them outright.
