The Karkian is a fictional creature that exists in the computer games Deus Ex and its sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War.

The Karkian is best described as a large brown (or green) reptilian creature, approximately 6 feet long, and 2 feet wide.

The head, resembling a crocodile's, takes a large aspect of the body. Its small, black eyes are positioned in the front of the head, and are easily mistaken for nostrils. A karkian's entire body is covered in large, thick spines, and its skin is almost impenetrable.

The larger females of the species ferociously guard their young, and attack any who they see as a threat. Karkian young look identical to their fully grown species, but are completely dependant on their mothers to bring them food. If they are not fed, they will turn upon their brothers and sisters.

Possibly due to their origins, Karkians work well with another species of creature, the Greasel. Greasels will yell to any nearby Karkians when food is spotted. Interestingly, Greasels will feast on Karkian young if left to their own devices.

While appearing slow and ponderous, an enraged Karkian will run extremely quickly. When facing humans, a Karkian will typically attempt to incapacitate a leg, and then finish it off with a series of deep bites to the neck.

Being part of VersaLife's Genetically Modified Organism Project, it is difficult to understand which DNA elements were part of the creature's makeup.
