Definitions for "Shalk"
The undisputed rulers of all the races in this section of the universe (except the ghosts, who pull their strings). The shalk are short and cuddly; they look like oversized teddy bears. But the average shalk has a demeanor more akin to a hungry grizzly bear. They are bullies and will kill or maim a non-shalk at the drop of a hat. They wear personal defense shields that protect them from everything but shalk weaponry (however, there is a little-known kink in this armor, as an extremely sharp knife will slash through it). And their weaponry is genetically coded to only work in the hands of a shalk. For this reason, they are considered unkillable.
