The '''taynix''' are a species of slugs with [[cytonics|cytonic]] abilities.{{book ref|sky2|34}}
 
=== Boomslugs ===
Boomslugs{{wob ref|15071}}, which are red and black, have an ability that greatly resembles a [[mindblade]]. When thinking of a delver or else threatened, they send out a powerful force in all directions that is capable of injuring humans. Their attack inflicts a score of shallow cuts on whatever is threatening them. They are generally left alone, due to the danger of mishandling one and setting it off.{{book ref|sf1|4}} They can also be used as a sort of "ammo" in powerful hyperweapons like the one on [[Wandering Leaf]].

=== Blue and Green Taynix ===
FM found this fourth variety of taynix aboard a Superiority ship on [[ReDawn (planet)|ReDawn]]. TheThey are used as cytonic inhibitors, enabling them to create a large invisible bubble in which cytonic abilities are prevented from being used. Using one’s abilities within this bubble requires a cytonic key, which is likely only known at first by the one who initially interfaced with the taynix.{{book ref|sf2|12}}
 
=== Commslugs ===
Commslugs{{wob ref|15071}}, which are purple and orange, have the ability to communicate cytonically. This communication can be received by traditional technology, however, as [[Platform Prime]] was able to receive [[Cuna]]'s cytonic transmission without needing a commslug.{{book ref|sf1|7}}{{book ref|sf1|8}}

This variety of taynix has spines that faded between different colors of the rainbow.{{book ref|sf3|15}} They are able to create illusions, which they use to alter their own appearance.{{wob ref|16220}}
