Seladon's scars look fairly dark depending on the lighting, but that might be because they've dried. Gelfling blood seems to vary between pink (All-Maudra Mayrin, Tavra) and red (Ordon).

The Heretic and the Hunter have also aged as well, however, their aging is clearly much more graceful and natural, since they have been free of the Crystal's influence for a long time. It may be that the Skeksis in the castle have become so entirely dependent on the Crystal's energies to maintain themselves, that when the Crystal started giving less and less energy, their bodies began to decay faster than normal. The Skeksis, while not immortal, are a naturally long-lived species (after all, Aughra expected them to still be around after a thousand trine).I think it's implied that the Skeksis draining of the crystal (and later consumption of essence) is what's responsible for their deteriorating bodies, this means that the ones who aren't trying to artificially extend their lives like the Heretic and Hunter are ironically much healthier.Basically? The Skeksis are only dying BECAUSE they are evil. It's also possible that the Heretic is living so well BECAUSE he's so close to his mystic counterpart. The mystics can't die unless the Skeksis do.and they likely got the better part of the deal, being the 'good' part.If the Skeksis have been artificially extending their lives for a millennium with the power of the Crystal, then how is the Heretic still alive and kicking after being exiled for centuries without access to it? Furthermore, how are the mystics still alive after apparently not using the Crystal at all?.

I think the first answer was the likely correct one: the first Garthim is created from Arathim and Gruenak parts, but past that, the Scientist just discovers ways to duplicate it, instead of going through the whole process all over again.Alternatively, he could have mass produced more Gruenak connective tissue by culturing the material he harvested from the corpse.The Gelfling being exterminated by monsters partially comprised of corpses of their dead friends. like the Gelfling! Now there's some Nightmare Fuel for ya. Even if there's no more Gruenaks, surely he can use bits and pieces from other sentient races. Besides, skekTek only needed extra body parts to compliment the Arathim corpse he had. Still seems difficult considering one half of creating a Garthim requires a species he himself now has made extinct, with only one corpse to work with.skekTek seems smart enough that he can find a way to mass-produce more Garthim, be it through breeding or cloning.
Dark crystal garthim movie#
I know in the movie they have a lot of them, but unless that one Garthim can be more sneaky then we've seen, the Arathi would be on high alert against the Skeksis as well.
