Sykalu

When schizoids fight for mating, it can get to be a large group of them all fighting for a mate and then fighting again to be the active (The one that gets fed and doesn’t have to find a host).

When they’re ready for mating, markings will appear, they generally look something like this but will still vary between individuals. They will also become more violent during this time, those that aren’t ready for mating completely avoid it if they can help it. When the sykalu starts to appear, they will rub against anything and anyone. Those with constant markings, like the ones that look like livor mortis, the sykalu will appear over it and be significantly darker.

This can last for a few Vakkian weeks and happen again every few months.
