User:OranL/Bahro (Myst)


The Bahro are a fictional race of creatures depicted in three games from the Myst franchise (Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, Myst V: End of Ages, and Myst Online: Uru Live). In the D'ni language (which is a language constructed for use inside the Myst games, i.e. the Klingon language in the Star Trek television series), the word "bahro" means "beast people", and is considered a derogatory term. The fictional D'ni race generally used the word to refer to people who were not of Ronay decent; but when used as a proper noun, it refers to a race of vaguely reptilian bipeds with retractable wings.

Not much official information on the Bahro has been released by Cyan Worlds (the Myst Franchise's developer) aside from what is learned about them from the games. They are depicted as somewhat humanoid in appearance. Moving in a hunched position they can walk on either two or all four of their main appendages. They are also capable of flight. They possess what appears to be an exoskeleton, which is dark grey in color. Their eyes are small, and glow blue. Bahro do not appear to have mouths on their but are capable of making sounds, including chitters, squeaks, and trademark "Bahro Screams".
