Sysskarr is the chief of the Sakkhra Tribe in Savage Empire. A wisened old Sakkhra, he had been the leader of their tribe for many years. He told how he once fought with Balakai, the shaman of the Barrab Tribe, and claims to have been victorious, despite Balakai's claim to the contrary. When the Avatar met Sysskarr, he was concerned about a green fruit, which only grew in a small valley to the north, that was a powerful medicine for the Sakkhra. He told how a powerful tyrannosaurus had taken up residence in the valley and was killing any Sakkhra who tried to retrieve the fruit. The Avatar willing took up the quest to slay the dinosaur, and upon completing the task, Sysskarr agreed to unite against the Myrmidex threat.
