Zryka

The Zryka are a species and ethnic group of Bibshmibbian-Penguin Hybrids. They resulted from Bibshmibbians that crash-landed in Northern Eldham, who transformed into the Penguins around them that took the Bibshmibbians in due to them being mistaken for eggs. Their name is derived from the Bibshmibbian phrase "Krynza", a Bibshmibbian phrase meaning People of the Ice.

Exodus
Following the Bibshmibbian's crash in Eldham, several Bibshmibbians instectivly transformed into the nearby Penguins in order to avoid freezing to death, while younger Bibshmibbians who were in their younger form during the crash were taken in, as they looked very similar to Penguin Eggs. These Penguin-Bibshmibbians eventually mated with other Penguins, resulting in the majority of Penguins in the region being of Bibshmibbian descent within the following centuries.

Evolution
Throughout the centuries, the Penguin-Bibshmibbians evolved opposable thumbs, allowing for them to craft and wield spears, which lead to more effective hunting, They also started growing shorter hair and evolved leg joints, allowing them to run faster, however they also became more vulnerable to the cold and less effective at swimming. This resulted in the Penguin-Bibshmibbians searching for a more suitable environment in all directions, leading to different Penguin Clans.

North Zryka
The Penguin Explorers who set off farther north uncovered the ruins of Bibshmibbian Ships, which they sought shelter in from an oncoming blizzard. These Penguin-Bibshmibbians uncovered Bibshmibbian texts,
