The Dark Crystal Skeksis Credit: Netflix / The Jim Henson Company The Podlings do the more menial labor, and so a sort of caste system exists, with the deplorable, hideous, disgusting Skeksis at the very top, led by their cruel Emperor. They serve as their guards and pay inordinate tithes. By the time the story picks up, pretty much all the Gelfling revere and worship the Skeksis as something akin to gods. They also subjugated the Gelfling and other species of Thra, bending them to their will and titling themselves the Lords of the Crystal. And while she slept, they began to draw upon the power of the Crystal of Truth, slowly corrupting it until it became. They gave her a device that allowed her to send her spirit out into the universe, to travel the stars while she slept. This bird-like alien species fled their own planet and came to Thra, where they tricked its guardian, Aughra (Donna Kimball) to leave the Crystal of Truth under their protection. Seven clans of Gelfling exist, scattered about the world-in its deserts and caves, its deep forests and shining cities, even out on its glimmering seas.īut then, two thousand trine ago, the Skeksis came to Thra. These vaguely humanoid creatures are the primary species of Thra. The native species of Thra include a multitude of critters and beasts, giant worms and flying stingrays, adorable Podlings and, most important of all, the Gelfling.
