- "They don't care about laws or customs or anything. All the Skrit Na care about is collecting things and owning things. [...] Skrit Na are constantly going to different planets and kidnapping the local species. Sometimes they perform medical experiments on them. Sometimes they just fly around with them and then let them go. But often they carry local creatures away to add them to zoos on the Skrit Na home world."

The Skrit Na are two races of scavenger aliens with two rather distinctive lifephrases separated by a naturally occuring metamorphosis.
Skrit Na[]
Physiology[]
- "The Skrit look like huge insects, almost as large as an Andalite. They have fourteen legs and six sets of antennae, and aren't really very intelligent. But the Skrit each eventually weave a cocoon and a year later, out of the dead Skrit there pops a Na."
- ―Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul
The Skrit Na are unusual in that they appear to look like two different races, but they are really the same species with two life phases. The first is the Skrit, a dim-witted cockroach-like creature that's almost as big as an Andalite with fourteen legs and six sets of antennae. The Skrit then forms into a cocoon, and emerges a year later as a Na. They have gray skin, large heads with two huge eyes, and 2 very slender legs. They seem to get smaller when they metamorphosize, since Skrit are described as the size of Andalites, as the Na seem to be more human sized.

Physiology[]
- "The Na have four very slender legs. Sometimes they rear up and walk on just two legs, using the other legs as hands. They have large heads shaped like Andalite heads, only they have just two huge eyes."
- ―Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul
The Skrit Na are notorious for abducting species from different planets to either experiment on them, or put them in a sort of alien zoo back on their homeworld. Their spacecrafts are shaped like flying-saucers.[1]
The Skrit Na are neutral in most intergalactic matters especially the Andalite-Yeerk War. They are unsuitable to become Controllers, but the Yeerks often strike deals with them in order to acquire new alien technology. However, the Skrit Na do not belong to the Yeerks, nor are they allies of the Andalites.[1]
A large number of Skrit Na were reported to have been absorbed by the being Father.
