Sarkaz
The Sarkaz (both singular and plural) are a race in the world of Arknights: Endfield.
Overview
The term "Sarkaz" does not actually refer to a specific race; rather, it is a derogatory umbrella term for various humanoid races who are neither Ancients nor Elders. Originally being the natives of Terra calling themselves as "Teekaz," their dominance came to an end when the "Predecessors" from space colonized Terra and accidentally introduced both Originium and the Ancients and Elders upon the planet. As such, the Sarkaz were often persecuted and have engaged in millennia of conflict against the other races, though there were always those who wished for peace.
Sarkaz exhibit a wide range of physical traits depending on their tribes. The most commonly noticed traits are a pair of horns of varying shapes atop their heads, long, pointed ears, and tails of varying shapes such as having pointed ends or scales. However, there are some Sarkaz tribes lacking any of the aforementioned traits.

Etymology
Their name possibly derives from the Greek word for "to tear apart" or "to sneer," σαρκάζω (sarkázō).[1] The word is also the origin of the English word sarcasm.
