However, the Skeksis were originally elegant and courteous, and even were friends towards Aughra. They also are not afraid to hide the fact they have done horrible and cruel deeds for selfish reasons and relish in it, as when a kidnapped Brea called the Skeksis monsters for draining Gelfling, SkekOk retorted with "Have you only just figured that out? Perhaps you are not so clever after all", revealing that the Skeksis are aware of what they are doing, yet they never care. They are primarily shown to be greedy overusing the Crystal's power to replenish themselves despite being sworn to protect said object, resulting in its corruption and the birth and spreading of the Darkening over Thra in addition, the Skeksis deny the Darkening's existence happening and instead see it as a mere blight that also did not exist. The Skeksis live a hedonistic lifestyle as they only think of living in eternity while they maintain hold over their power. Furthermore, despite having alliances in the castle, they will often plot or have a rivalry (such in the case of SkekSil and SkekUng) against each other inside or outside of the alliance, heavily suggesting the Skeksis to be deceitful and double-crossing. Unlike their counterparts, who possess the positive composition of the UrSkeks, the Skeksis instead carry the negative as such being arrogant, egotistical, and have little to no regard for life or even each other.
They wear heavy and elaborate but threadbare robes with carapaces on their backs to make themselves appear more larger and intimidating.
Their bodies are usually slender and thin, and once have a second pair of arms before it withers and became atrophied as the Skeksis' reign goes by in later years. The Skeksis are part reptile, part predatory bird, and part dragon creatures.
