[HIGH-kim, MIHK-yuh]
Eastern, Orlanthi, Hsunchen, and Doraddi pantheons — beast parents
As the Father and Mother of beasts, Hykim and Mikyh are sometimes reputed to be the children of the earth and a dragon. With different paramours this couple produced a large variety of children to populate the elements. They also had children together. The Blue Book of Zzabur presents a taxonomic classification of their children as a genealogy.
Some well-known descendants of Hykim & Mikyh include Basmol, God of Lions; Gorakiki, Mother of Insects; Rathor, God of Bears; Sofal, Grandfather Turtle; and Telmor, Father of Wolves.
Hykim is usually shown as a draconic creature, often with different animal features from the local fauna. Mikyh is rarely pictured.
