The Ikels as described in Branton's uncredited "A-Z of Alien Species" reptilian-hierarchy taxonomy.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
Ikels
The Ikels — sometimes called Satyrs — are a short entry in the same uncredited reptilian-hierarchy taxonomy that produced the Iguanoids: small, hairy, cloven-hoofed humanoids said to live in deep cavern systems and raid the surface for food and captives. As with that entry, the original description is brief and unattributed to any named witness. This page keeps that original wording intact and removes the invented biometrics and mechanisms that had been added around it.
Name: Ikels
AKA: Satyrs (per the source). “Fauns,” “Shaggy Ones,” and “The Pan-Hominids” do not appear in the source material and have been removed.
Location – Home System: Deep caverns beneath South America and elsewhere, per the source. The source does not extend this to North America generally; that addition has been removed. (Corrected — see Researcher’s Notes.)
Distance from Earth: Not applicable — described in the source as terrestrial, subterranean-dwelling.
Attitude: Not characterized in the source beyond the reported raiding behavior described under Special Features/Characteristics below.
Motives: Not specified in the source beyond the reported raids for “women, children, or food.” Framings like “protection of deep-cavern nurseries” do not appear in the source and have been removed.
Physical Appearance: Small, hairy humanoids with cloven hoofs, per the source.
- Average Height: Not quantified in any source. “4’0″–5’2″” does not appear anywhere and has been removed. (Corrected — see Researcher’s Notes.)
- Average Weight: Not specified in any source. (Removed — see Researcher’s Notes.)
- Body Temperature: Not specified in any source. (Removed — see Researcher’s Notes.)
- Pulse/Respiration: Not specified in any source. (Removed — see Researcher’s Notes.)
- Blood Pressure: Not specified in any source. (Removed — see Researcher’s Notes.)
- Life Expectancy: Not specified in any source. (Removed — see Researcher’s Notes.)
- Diet: Not specified in any source. (Removed — see Researcher’s Notes.)
- Hair: Described in the source only as “hairy.” Specific coloring and coverage detail do not appear in the source and have been removed.
- Skin: Not specified in any source.
- Eyes: Not specified in any source.
Other Physical Information: Small, hairy humanoids with cloven hoofs, described in the source as inhabiting deep caverns beneath South America and elsewhere. One version of the source adds that the Ikels “may be members of a fallen pre-Adamic race which possessed angelic, animal and humanoid characteristics,” and are described as “now allied with the reptilians” — placing this entry within the same broader reptilian-hierarchy lore as the Iguanoids entry.
Special Traits and Abilities: Not specified in any source beyond the cloven-hoof physiology and cavern habitat. “Extreme agility,” “hoof-based climbing,” and “pheromonal manipulation” as specific abilities do not appear in any source and have been removed. (Corrected — see Researcher’s Notes.)
Communication Type: Not specified in any source.
Origin: Not specified beyond “deep caverns beneath South America and elsewhere” in the source.
Life Form Type: Humanoid, described in the source as hairy and cloven-hoofed.
Subspecies: None given in the source. “The Andean Trogloxene” and “The Appalachian Satyr” do not appear in any source and have been removed. (Corrected — see Researcher’s Notes.)
Most Common Species: Not specified in the source. “The North American ‘Cave Satyr'” does not appear in any source and has been removed.
Level of Species: No such grading system appears anywhere in the source material. “Grade 2 – Subterranean Sentient” was invented for this entry and has been removed. (Corrected — see Researcher’s Notes.)
Habits: Described in the source as cavern-dwelling, with reported raids to the surface.
Transportation Type: Not applicable / not specified in the source.
Witnesses Reports: None named. The source attributes the raiding accounts generally to “natives” and South American tribal oral tradition, without naming a specific tribe, investigator, or dated incident. Claims of “Spanish Conquistador” accounts in the Andes and 20th-century Mammoth Cave spelunker reports do not appear in any source located and have been removed. Broader Latin American folklore does include other satyr-like cave and river spirits (e.g., the Colombian Mohan), but no source ties those traditions specifically to the “Ikels” name or to this entry. (Corrected — see Researcher’s Notes.)
Special Features/Characteristics: Per the source: reportedly known, according to native oral tradition, to “kidnap” women and children over generations, with stories of South American tribes battling these creatures with machetes during raids on the surface for women, children, or food.
Summary/Description: A small, hairy, cloven-hoofed humanoid reported to inhabit deep cavern systems beneath South America, described in one version of the source as a possible remnant of a “fallen pre-Adamic race” now allied with the reptilians, and associated in native oral tradition with raids on surface communities.
Related Cases: Part of the same uncredited reptilian-hierarchy taxonomy as this archive’s Iguanoids, Hu-Brid, and Hybrid Reptilians entries. No connection to any named contact or abduction case.
DETAILED REPORT
Like the Iguanoids entry, the Ikels trace to the same uncredited “A-Z of Alien Species” compilation associated with the pseudonym “Branton,” mirrored across multiple UFO-conspiracy sites (including a 2010-era blog copy and the Alienpedia site, which explicitly labels its content “scraped from other sources” and “purely speculative”). The original entry is short: small, hairy, cloven-hoofed humanoids inhabiting deep caverns beneath South America; in one mirrored version, described as possible remnants of a “fallen pre-Adamic race” with angelic, animal, and humanoid traits, now allied with the reptilians; and credited in native oral tradition with raiding surface settlements for food and captives, fought off historically with machetes.
That is the entirety of what the source material says. There is no named witness, no dated incident, no specific tribe identified, and no described investigation — only a general appeal to unspecified “native” oral tradition. The previous version of this page added a full set of quantified biometrics, a “high-CO2 adapted” respiratory system, infrared vision, bio-sonar navigation, a two-subspecies structure, a numbered species grade, and named witness categories (Spanish conquistadors, Mammoth Cave spelunkers) — none of which appear in any source located for this review. Broader Latin American folklore does contain other cave- and river-dwelling satyr-like spirits, such as Colombia’s Mohan, but no source connects that tradition specifically to the “Ikels” name.
The corrected entry below restores the original wording, including the “fallen pre-Adamic race… allied with the reptilians” detail that had been dropped from the previous version despite being part of the actual source text, and removes everything invented beyond it.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
The Ikels — Cavern Folklore and Invented Zoology
- Classification correction: Fabricated biometrics (height, weight, body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, life expectancy, diet, CO2-adapted respiration), invented subspecies (“Andean Trogloxene,” “Appalachian Satyr”), an invented species grade (“Grade 2 – Subterranean Sentient”), and invented sensory mechanisms (infrared vision, bio-sonar) have all been removed as unsourced. Named witness categories (Spanish conquistadors, Mammoth Cave spelunkers) were also unsupported by any source and have been removed.
- Source chain assessment: Same uncredited “A-Z of Alien Species” compilation as the Iguanoids entry — no named witnesses or investigators are cited for the Ikels specifically in any version of the source located.
- Evidentiary weight: Effectively none as a documented case. The entry is better classified as a fragment of broader Latin American folklore about cave- and forest-dwelling humanoid spirits, filtered through an internet conspiracy taxonomy rather than field investigation.
- Pattern context: The cloven-hoofed, cave-dwelling “satyr” figure has real folkloric precedent across Latin America (e.g., Colombia’s Mohan) and, more distantly, in Greek and Roman Pan/Satyr mythology — but no source ties any specific regional tradition to the “Ikels” label itself, which appears to be a name coined within this taxonomy rather than a term used by any documented indigenous tradition.
- Geographic/historical context: Consistent with the Iguanoids entry, this material comes from the same 1990s–2000s internet compilation tied to Dulce Base-era reptilian-hierarchy conspiracy literature.
The Ikels entry is two sentences of uncredited taxonomy dressed up with invented biology and false witness categories. What’s actually documented is a short description of a hairy, cloven-hoofed cave-dweller tied loosely to a “fallen race allied with reptilians” framing — genre folklore, not a field case. The corrected page keeps that description intact and drops the rest.
“a fallen pre-Adamic race which possessed angelic, animal and humanoid characteristics.”
