Citrakayahs are a species from the planet Chalybeas.[PAD 1]

Appearance[]

Citrakayahs are slim human-sized aliens with blue and black fur covering their bodies. They have black tufts around their faces that end in points, resulting in a mask-like appearance. Their legs and elbows also have long spikes on them.

Powers and Abilities[]

Much like Kinecelerans, Citrakayahs have enhanced speed, agility and reflexes. Citrakayahs are able to run fast enough to outrun a missile created by Dr. Animo, forcing Animo to increase the power of the missile in an attempt to make it outspeed Fasttrack.[1]

Citrakayahs possess enhanced strength, as Fasttrack was able to carry both Magister Hulka and Tack to safety,[2] as well as Gwen and Kevin while in Legerdomain.[3]

Citrakayahs possess enhanced durability.[4][5]

Citrakayahs can jump to great heights while running.[3]

Weaknesses[]

Opponents with good reflexes and reaction time can counter a Citrakayah's speed and land a blow on them, as seen when Fasttrack ran straight into Sir George's outstretched arm, badly stunning him.[5]

Unlike Kinecelerans, Citrakayahs cannot brake easily if they run too quickly.[1]

Being speed-based aliens, Citrakayahs share similar weaknesses with Kinecelerans. For example, they are being unable to run on certain surfaces like ice, which can make them slip very easily.[1]

Notable Citrakayahs[]

Etymology[]

Citrakayah comes from the vernacular name for the cheetah, which is derived from the Hindi word चीता (cītā), which in turn comes from the Sanskrit word चित्रकायः (citrakāyaḥ) meaning "bright" or "variegated".

Trivia[]

  • Matt Wayne speculates that Fasttrack is physically stronger than XLR8 (and by extension, Citrakayahs are physically stronger than Kinecelerans), stating that "Fasttrack can probably lift more".[MW 1]
  • Citrakayahs might be able to be controlled by people who have the ability to control cats, like Nyancy Chan, depending on how prevalent their feline attributes are.[DJW 1]
  • The Omniverse crew never put any thought into Citrakayahs, including whether they can come in different colors.[DJW 2]
