Zryka

The Zryka (Pronounced Zri-kah) 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.

Northern 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, and learned the Bibshmibbian Language. The Penguin-Bibshmibbians then decided to call their species the Zryka, or the People of the Ice, and themselves the Sikpyka Zryka, or the Northern Zryka Tribe. Their Tribe then migrated south, due to supply shortages in the icy tundra, and proceeded to spread the Bibshmibbian language throughout the other Zrykan tribes for easier communication.

The Northern Zryka settled along the coast of the island Ravanna, located North of the Continent Katsura around 800 years BMM (Before mass migration of Eldham). They are a primarily hunting and agricultural society, though they also specialize in Ice and Coal mining. This lead to
