About ysoki names

Ysoki are the small, quick-witted ratfolk of Starfinder, found in the warrens of Akiton, the hab-blocks of Absalom Station and the crew quarters of half the ships in the Pact Worlds. They are natural mechanics, technomancers and scavengers, famous for cheek pouches stuffed with spare parts and for talking faster than anyone can listen. Paizo's iconic ysoki mechanic is Quig, and the sample names in the Core Rulebook (Fiskit, Bibbiv, Tebbiq, Yikkit, Zeevek, Oblimz, Pikchuri) set the pattern: short, clicking, playful names built from hard consonants and doubled letters.

The sound is bright and chittery rather than harsh. Doubled k, b, z, t and v (Tikkit, Bozzet, Skrivv, Dabbet) give names a skittering rhythm, and endings in -ik, -it, -et, -iv and -o keep them quick to say. Many ysoki go by a single name their whole lives; others take a family or warren surname, especially those raised in the large Akitonian warrens. Because ysoki prize cleverness and shared history, nicknames are common and usually earned: Two-Wrench, Cheekpouch, Nine-Lives, Hotwire. A ysoki crewmate may be introduced by nickname alone.

This list gives you bare given names, full names with surnames, nicknamed names in quotation marks and a few warren titles, so you can name a nervous junior mechanic or a legendary scrapyard elder in one click.

How to choose ysoki names

  • Keep given names to one or two syllables with a doubled consonant (Tikkit, Bozzet, Wix); three-syllable names like Mikkerit or Pikchuri should be the exception, not the rule.
  • Give a ysoki a nickname based on a habit or a mishap (Shortfuse, Halfcharge, Ration-Thief); in Starfinder fiction, ysoki nicknames are usually affectionate teasing from crewmates.
  • Use a family or warren surname for ysoki from Akiton's great warrens, and a bare given name or nickname for spacer ysoki raised shipboard.
  • Pick names that sound good at speed; ysoki talk fast, so a name a player can fire off in one breath (Vask, Nuzz, Sprizz) fits better than anything stately.
  • Tool and scrap words (Rivet, Spanner, Solder, Scrap) make good nicknames or shipboard call names for mechanics, but pair them with a real given name so the character does not read as a cartoon.

Frequently asked questions

What are ysoki in Starfinder?

Ysoki are a playable ratfolk species in Starfinder, small humanoids with rodent features, cheek pouches that store small objects, and a reputation as inventive mechanics, scavengers and technomancers. Large ysoki populations live on Akiton and Absalom Station, and Quig is Paizo's iconic ysoki mechanic.

How do ysoki names work?

Ysoki names are short and chittery, built from hard consonants and doubled letters, such as Quig, Fiskit, Tebbiq and Zeevek. Many ysoki use a single name, some add a family or warren surname, and most collect earned nicknames from crewmates over time.

Are these names canon?

Quig is Paizo's iconic ysoki, and the sample names from the Starfinder Core Rulebook are included. The rest are original names modeled on that phonology and are free to use for player characters, NPCs and published-adventure replacements.

Can I use these for Pathfinder ratfolk or other rat characters?

Yes. Pathfinder ratfolk share the same ancestry and a similar naming feel, and the short, clicking style also works for ratfolk, skaven-style or rodent characters in other systems, though Warhammer skaven use a harsher, hyphenated convention.
