    He clearly has some past history with Rek'yr. I imagine the Dousan took him in and tried to teach him of their ways, as both they and skekMal were outsiders to their respective species. However, the only teaching he took to heart was wearing bones (in an obvious perversion of the Dousan tradition of wearing protection charms) and took their "worship" of death to an insane, self-serving level.

    I often described SkekMal as the Predator from the famous franchise. A brutal creature who wore his bloody trophies on his belt, killing anything that he seen as a worthy pray. Something interesting I found on SkekMal is how, unlike his fellow Skeksis, didn't need to absorb the power of the Dark Crystal to stay alive. Much like SkekSa the Mariner, he spent years away from the Castle to continue his hunts. Something to also think about is how if the Hunter wasn't always obsessed with his hunting, I believe that he could have overthrown the Emperor himself if he had a more political mind. But for this poacher only the Hunt matters.

    It's easy to see that SkekMal represents our primordial savagery. When I first saw him, my reaction was, and I thought the Chamberlain was a pain in the ass in terms of the pursuit (still scratching my head wondering how in the world he got from the ruins all the way to the castle at such a fast pace). However, the thing I keep wondering is, why did he kill Kylan's parents? Overall, this is one being you do not want to meet.

I also like that SkekMal is the only Skeksis still in shape enough to use all of his limbs !

I would love to see more of his exploits like where he got his mask helmet from or how his face became so scarred. Its a shame we didn’t get to see him interact with other characters like skekso or even skekung. Since augra was birthed out of his dust I sort of have this head canon that skekmal and urva sometimes show up in her aged mind giving their two cents on a dihlema like an angel and demon on ones shoulders.

    0:41 to 1:12 SkekMal (or “Skek-Maul”) was undoubtedly the toughest and strongest of all Skeksis. 4:11 , 4:55 , 5:15 and 5:45 One of the many unique things about UrVa and SkekMal is that they were very similar and opposite at the same time. Most of the pairs are either fitting polar opposites or similar, but this pair is both. They were both skilled hunters and mostly stayed away from the rest of their kinds. 5:58 to 6:40 We can only hope that the UrRu and Skeksis are reunited as one upon their death. Their existence as a divided pair is unnatural and because of this, it would make sense that they’d only be this way in life and return to their true selves when they die.

    Wherever he may be now, he is still on the hunt..: Maybe there is an afterlife for the Skeksis? Maybe after death mystics and skeksis go to some sort of limbo which might be a more bleak version of Thraa or their own world? Maybe hunter now claims other souls around the place, killing them and they return to life again. Maybe a reason Skeksis don’t accept death is because Urskeks might be eternal and therefore they want to continue to be so?

    I wasn't sure what Mother Aughra thought of the Hunter. She thought of him as a beautiful creature. I wasn't sure if she was sincere or just saying it to dupe the other skeksis. One redeemable thing about him is that he does fight with some honor. Unlike the others who would lie and manipulate to get what they want.

    It took me a little while to like him. What I like about him, is like you said about him being and retaining his youthful like athletics. Like what the others had back when they were young too. Mal wearing the skull does make him look a bit more distinguished. It also makes him look like a Skeksis werewolf and acted like one too. One of my fave scary creatures of legend. I'd say that Mal might have just been totally unconscious. But he hadn't taken the time to let himself get treated in time. He had suffered a lot of blood loss by the time he reached the castle. Plus exhaustion. Maybe more too. His counterpart what, shot him in the leg, arm, and stomach? Just curious on that part. Or was he also shot in the chest? But it was Aughra's essence that kept him hanging on by a thread for longer. Too bad they'd never heard of blood transfusion.

    Skek-Mal just reminded me of Grievous from Star Wars. Only he was allowed full badassery, where Grievous has been shafted as the years go on. I do enjoy his Clone Wars depiction, as divisive as it is, but I can see the flaws in it as fans of Legends Grievous do. I truly wish and hope for a true to form depiction one day. A show or possibly(though it'd be hard af) film about his life before becoming the cyborg we all know would be AWESOME in my opinion. We just better hope Disney either gets their shit together(which I doubt) or stops being so copyright strike happy that they'll allow others to try the idea. Skek-Mal to me is part of what Grievous should've been allowed to be, if not completely.

  • @DISTurbedwaffle918

    I wonder if Skek'Mal retained his vigor because he was actually right in thinking that his victims' spirits give him strength. If Essence is a thing that can be extracted and distilled, perhaps it also holds a weaker ambient property in the remains of Thra's inhabitants. If Essence is life force, and Thra operates on the cycle of death and renewal, then it would make sense that the many trophies of Skek'Mal do, in fact, provide him with the same rejuvenative properties as distilled Essence does. Since he's been doing this for so long, and holds so many trophies, it makes sense that he would then retain nearly all the strength of his prime, only degrading at a slower rate compared to his kin.

He only took part in the ceremonies at the minor conjunctions which were very powerful B. He actually did get some energy from his trophies through spiritual means as he claimed C. Maybe his arguably simpler lifestyle combined with physical training lessened the aging done by the corruption. I wonder these things of SkekSa and SkekGra as well
