Most of the fauna found on Qikost are native to the moon itself. These include the massive steer-like ''u'saulbb'' and the ''dondrabe'', vibrantly-colored and venomous amphibians measuring two meters long. The species most sought after by hunters are the deadly and beautiful [[helioskrill]]. While originally native to Sanghelios, these creatures can also be found amid the massive expanses scattered across the mountains of [[Shemlyyn]] on Qikost. However, the helioskrill population has dwindled due to commercialized hunts enjoyed by wealthy [[San'Shyuum]] prior to the [[Great Schism]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P231}} | Most of the fauna found on Qikost are native to the moon itself.
