The '''taynix''' are a species of slugs.▼
▲The '''taynix''' are a species of slugs with [[cytonics|cytonic]] abilities.{{book ref|sky2|34}}
==Appearance and Anatomy==▼
▲== Appearance and Anatomy ==
Taynix are somewhat blobby, and about the size of a loaf of bread, but flatter.{{book ref|skyward|12}}
== Behavior ==
Taynix are able to make fluting and trilling noises with their spines
Taynix can move by crawling
== Ecology ==
According to Doomslug, reality ashes are in truth their poop from feasting on the radiation of the nowhere.
==Uses==▼
▲== Uses ==
Taynix have an innate [[cytonic]] ability to travel through the dimension of the [[delver]]s, and are used by the [[Superiority]] as hyperdrives that do not risk drawing the delvers into the universe.{{book ref|sky2|34}}. To do so, Superiority hyperdrives use them during a hyperjump to produce a [[cytonic]] "scream", which distracts the delvers from the passing ships.{{book ref|sky2|20}} This scream is apparently only perceptible for beings with cytonic abilities.{{book ref|sky2|21}}▼
Taynix have various different [[cytonics|cytonic]] abilities, with the specific one depending on their species and indicated by their color.

=== Boomslugs ===
In order to cover up their role in cytonic hyperdrives and maintain control over the rest of the galaxy, the Superiority claims they are highly venomous invasive species.{{book ref|sky2|27}}{{book ref|sky2|34}}▼
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]].

==History==▼
=== Inhibitor slugs ===
During her exploration of the Detritus caves, Spensa finds a taynix which she nicknames [[Doomslug]].{{book ref|sky1|12}}▼
Inhibitor slugs are blue and green Taynix.{{book ref|sf3|15}} FM found this fourth variety of taynix aboard a Superiority ship on [[ReDawn (planet)|ReDawn]]. They 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 ===
Immediately before the invasion of Detritus, [[Jorgen]] finds a colony of several hundred taynix deep in the caves of Detritus.▼
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}}
*[[Doomslug]]▼
==
Rig and Jorgen discovered several new types of taynix on Detritus. There are wrinkled grey ones with black and white spines, taynix that are blackish that shine with an iridescent blue sheen, and slugs that are smaller than the others, that are teal colored with pink spines. The abilities of these taynix are all unknown.{{book ref|sf3|15}}
▲== History ==
Prior to the rise of the Superiority, humans were likely aware of the cytonic powers of the taynix; Commander [[Spears]]' order to [[M-Bot]] to look for mushrooms was likely because he was trying to find a taynix to power his cytonic hyperdrive.{{book ref|sky2|34}}
