Generate Skeksis names in the pattern of the Dark Crystal film and series: skek closed up with a capitalized syllable, as in skekZim, skekNyx and skekAvok, court offices such as skekGul the Glutton and skekWisk the Wig-Maker, and matching urRu Mystic names like urVen the Mender.

About Skeksis names

Every Skeksis in The Dark Crystal and its prequel series Age of Resistance is named the same way: the prefix skek in lower case, closed up with a short capitalized syllable or two, as in skekSil, skekUng or skekTek. There is no space or hyphen, and the capital sits mid-word. The syllables are clipped and harsh, heavy on k, z, g and sh. The lords are told apart by their court offices, so a full name reads skekSil the Chamberlain or skekZok the Ritual-Master.

This list keeps that pattern. A small share are the lords of the film and the series; the rest, such as skekZim, skekNyx and skekKru, are made up for this list and not compared with the novels or the comics. About half carry an office. Some are grand, like the Castellan or the Vizier, and many are as petty as the court itself: the Wig-Maker, the Beak-Polisher, the Flatterer, the Rumor-Monger.

Each Skeksis is one half of a divided urSkek. The gentle half is an urRu, or Mystic, named with ur and a softer syllable that often echoes its twin: skekSo and urSu, skekZok and urZah. Some entries are Mystic names in that form, such as urVen the Mender, plus a few joined urSkek names like VorVen, so you can name a whole pair.

How to choose Skeksis names

  • Keep the spelling exact: lower-case skek, no space, capital on the syllable. skekVor follows the pattern; Skek Vor, Skek-Vor and Skekvor do not.
  • Pick the office for the character's vice. Skeksis offices are jobs at a decadent court, so ask what your lord hoards, fears or envies. skekGul the Glutton, skekMyz the Miser and skekWem the Whimperer tell you who they are before they speak.
  • To name a pair, choose a skek name and a ur name that share a first letter or a rhyme, the way skekTek and urTih or skekShod and urYod do. From this list, skekBrak and urBel work, and the urSkek they came from would be BrakBel.
  • Say it in a wheedling voice. Endings in k, z, sh and l can be drawn out into a hiss, which suits a Skeksis, while open vowels and a soft h suit a Mystic.
  • For fan fiction, an original lord fits most easily in an earlier age, a far province or a what-if story, because the court seen on screen has a fixed cast.

Frequently asked questions

How are Skeksis names formed?

A Skeksis name is the prefix skek plus a short capitalized syllable, sometimes two, written as a single word: skekSil, skekUng, skekAyuk. A court office usually follows, such as the Chamberlain or the Scientist. Entries here like skekKol the Castellan and skekJil the Jeweler use the same two-part shape.

Are these names from The Dark Crystal?

A small share are the lords of the film and the series, such as skekSo the Emperor, skekSil the Chamberlain and skekMal the Hunter. Most entries are new names in the same pattern, made up for your own characters and not taken from the film or the series.

What is the Mystic version of a Skeksis name?

The Mystics, or urRu, use the prefix ur the same way: urSu, urZah, urIm. A Mystic syllable is softer and usually echoes its Skeksis half rather than copying it, so the list pairs loosely: skekVor with urVen, skekZim with urZin, skekLor with urLum.

What are urSkek names?

The urSkeks are the whole beings the Skeksis and Mystics were split from, and their names join the two syllables with both capitals kept, as in SoSu or TekTih. The list has a few of these, such as VorVen, ZimZin and NyxNim, each built from a skek name and a ur name that are also in the list.
