===Parella Tribe===
<noinclude>{{Infobox|group
These are octorok-squid like creatures new to Skyward Sword. They are believed to be allies towards Link and reside in Lake Floria. They have yellow creamish coloring with blue splotches over their bodies and have tentacle appendeges. A special Parella, with red splotches and a bigger (head part?), guides Link further into the lakes cave-like area. This special parella might be the leader of the other parella but this is not confirmed. Their part in Link's quest is unknown at this point.

===Kikwi Tribe===
| related      = [[Skyward Sword Characters]]
The Kikwi are very diverse creatures new to Skyward Sword that live in the forest region.  Skittish of strangers, they start to be friendly towards Link when he rescues their tribe from [[Bokoblin]]s. Link is asked by the elder of the Kikwis, [[Bucha]], to help find the rest of his tribe and make sure they are safe. Once Link has found them all, the elder remembers that Zelda went into the temple, leading Link to find her whereabouts.

===Demon Tribe===
==Ancient Robot==
These main antagonists are evil magic users who rule the land beneath the clouds. Headed by Lord Ghirahim, this group seeks to capture Zelda for some unknown purpose. At the base of Eldin Volcano, the Mogma tell Link that a bunch of shady "guys in red" have entered the volcano where Zelda is supposedly hidden. This is likely a reference to the demon tribe, since Ghirahim wears a red cloak and they are after Zelda.
[[File:AncientRobots-SS-Art.jpg|right|200x200px]]
{{main|Ancient Robot}}
Ancient Robots are a "race" of robots built by an ancient civilization in [[Lanayru Province]]. Most of the robots are damaged beyond repair, but one, [[Scrapper]], is still running in the present day with [[Gondo]]'s help. In certain areas of [[Lanayru Desert]], [[Link]] can strike [[Timeshift Stone]]s, which turns back time inside a small area. Once this happens, Link can talk to the restored robots.

There is much speculation on whether this group of sorcerers is related to one or more other races, tribes, or groups. Ghirahim's magic greatly resembles that of the Twili, whose ancestors were said to have sought control over Hyrule before the events of Ocarina of Time. The Mysterious Woman (who has indications of being a Sheikah) shares a similar design with Lord Ghirahim, implying that these two characters may be related somehow.  Other possible connections include the "ancient tribe" who created Majora's Mask, and the "Dark Tribe."
==Demon Tribe==
[[File:Ghirahim.png|right|200x200px]]
{{main|Demon Tribe}}
The Demon Tribe apparently rule the [[Surface]]. The main aim of [[Ghirahim]], their leader, is to restore [[Demise]] from his state as [[The Imprisoned]]. To that end, the group seeks to capture [[Zelda]], who is key in doing so.
{{clear}}


===Gorons===
==Goron==
Gorons have primarily appeared as mountain dwellers and their rock hard bodies are capable of withstanding volcanic heat. However, Gorons have also taken on the more secretive role of traveling merchants. It is not uncommon for Goron's to range quite a bit in size, from small childlike Goron's to the massively over-sized Gorons.
[[File:Gorko.png|right|200x200px]]
{{main|Goron}}
Only three Gorons are in ''Skyward Sword'' - [[Gorko]], [[Golo]], and [[Gortram]]. Gorko and Golo research ancient legends and Gortram runs the [[Rickety Coaster]] mini-game.
{{clear}}


Only one Goron has been seen thus far in Skyward Sword and it holds the appearance of the traveling merchant variety from The Wind Waker. It is unclear whether or not there will be an entire race of Gorons in Skyward Sword or if there is just a single Goron in the game.
==Kikwi==
[[File:Kikwi-Model-Large.png|right|200x200px]]
{{main|Kikwi}}
The Kikwi are a shy, herbivorous race that live in [[Faron Woods]]. They are easily intimidated by [[Link]] and [[Fi]], but they prove helpful in getting to [[Skyview Temple]] and [[Lake Floria]]. Their round tails open to reveal a bush, which the Kikwi use for camouflage. While many of the Kikwi are smaller than Link, [[Bucha]] - who the Kikwi refer to as their elder - is twice Link's size.
{{clear}}


===Loftwings===
==Loftwing==
These are creatures native to the sky realm in which Link and Zelda's hometown of Skyloft is located. They are crucial to the culture of Skyloft as images of the birds appear all over Skyloftian carvings and clothes. The people of Skyloft each own a bird partner which they trust with their lives as they dive straight off the floating island, trusting that their bird will hear their call and catch them as they fall. The birds are the primary form of transportation between the floating islands for the Skyloftians.

{{main|Loftwing}}
Loftwings are flying creatures native to [[The Sky]] in which [[Skyloft]] floats. They are crucial to the culture of Skyloft as images of the birds appear all over [[Skyloftian]] carvings and clothes. The people of Skyloft each own a bird partner who they meet at an early age and trust with their lives as they dive straight off the floating island, trusting that their bird will hear their call and catch them as they fall. The birds are the primary form of transportation between the floating islands for the Skyloftians.
{{clear}}


Two specific sky birds belong to Link and Zelda, with Link's being red and Zelda's being a blueish-purple. The two birds appear to be close friends just like their owners, as they can be seen flying together even without Link and Zelda present. The sky birds are crucial to the bird-rider's ceremony in which several competitors ride their birds and attempt to chase down a bird carrying a statue. The victor will be rewarded with a special gift from none other than Zelda herself! It is uncertain what happens to Zelda's blue bird when she is sucked towards the surface by Ghirahim's tornado, but Link's supposedly special red bird is later seen with him as he searches for Zelda.
==Mogma==
[[File:Mogma.png|right|200x200px]]
{{main|Mogma}}
The Mogma are a subterranean race who live around [[Eldin Volcano]]. Their appearance is a kind of cross between a prairie dog and an ape, and they are skilled diggers. When Mogma speak with [[Link]], they pop the top half of their bodies out of the ground and usually go back under after they are done. The passion of all Mogmas is to search for [[treasure]] and can often be seen looking for treasure in dungeons.
{{clear}}


===Mogmas===
==Parella==
The Mogmas are a new race in Skyward Sword who live around Eldin Volcano. Their appearance a kind of cross between a prairie dog and an ape, and they are skilled diggers. Each Mogma has a unique hairstyle. When Mogmas speak with Link, they pop the top half of their bodies out of the ground. They seem to have a jazzy, upbeat theme song.
[[File:Parella-Model-Large.png|right|200x200px]]
{{main|Parella}}
Parella are an aquatic race that inhabit the shimmering waters of [[Lake Floria]] and the river that flows from it. It appears that if a Parella has red stripes, it is a leader of their race, and if they have blue stripes they are common Parella.  


The Mogmas appear to be a friendly race that helps Link, allowing Link to keep a Bomb Bag that he originally got for them, and warning Link about shady characters clad in red. At some point around the volcano area, two Mogmas are seen talking about a key for the nearby temple. They are arguing about how to find the shard of the key; the key had been broken up and scattered around, until they realize that they do not need the key because they can just dig underground into the dungeon, leaving Link to find the shards.
The Parella live with [[Faron (Dragon)|Faron]], the Water Dragon. They are also under the leadership of a highly intelligent female Parella, [[Jellyf]].  
{{clear}}


===Sheikah===
==Sheikah==
The recurring Sheikah make an appearance in Skyward Sword, so far only one has been seen. First seen when Link is running up a small set of stairs towards her while she casually turns away from him. She is standing in a large room in front of a round fountain emitting a bright fiery light in the center, with gushing columns of water and surrounded by torches. She appears to be a tall thin woman of Hylian characteristics wearing a shirt bearing the very familiar Sheikah symbol. She also has a notable white teardrop tattoo underneath her left eye simulating the traditional symbol of the Sheikah tribe. This is somewhat similar to the black diamond tattoo that Ghirahim also has underneath his left eye. She has a tan complexion with red eyes and white hair, both familiar characteristics as Impa of Ocarina of Time. She has a very long strand of hair hanging down the right side of her face adorned with three beads. On her neck is tight fitting a red banded necklace and her wrists are covered with bandage like wrappings. It is so far unknown exactly what role she will play in the story, but it is known that she is resentfully referred to by Ghirahim as "the servant of the goddesses" and seems to want to help Zelda complete her quest. She does not seem to like Link that much, saying that he is slow to come and rescue Zelda and that if it was not for her Zelda would be gone. She also makes it clear that Link must train more and step up to protect Zelda better.
[[File:Impa-SS.png|right|200x200px]]
{{main|Sheikah}}
The ''Skyward Sword'' Sheikah tribe are said by [[Impa]], the only member seen, to have been been "the goddess's chosen guardians" since at least the days of the war against [[Demise]].


===Skyloftians===
{{clear}}
"Skyloftians" are the people who live in the village of Skyloft, located in The Sky above the clouds. These people revere the Loftwing Birds which they use as mounts, depicting them as cultural symbols and relying on them for games and travel amongst the islands of The Sky. The Skyloftians regard the land below as a dark place and do not venture there; no Skyloftian has ever seen the surface.


Skyloftians perfectly resemble the Hylians of previous games in the series. The bird symbols that decorate Skyloft look like a variation of the Royal Family of Hyrule's crest, minus the Triforce on it. It is speculated that the Skyloftians predate the Hylians and the Royal Family entirely.
==Skyloftian==
 
[[File:Gaepora.png|right|200x200px]]
The Skyloftians appear to live a peaceful life, but their interactions with other sky beings is unclear, and they do seem to have a Knight Academy. These Knights complete various missions and tasks, so it may be that Skyloft has heavy involvement with the world that surrounds them, and they may be capable of defending themselves.
{{main|Skyloftian}}
 
Skyloftians are the race of [[human]] who live in the village of Skyloft, located in The Sky above the [[Cloud Barrier]]. These people revere the Loftwings which they use as mounts, depicting them as cultural symbols and relying on them for games and travel amongst the islands of The Sky. The Skyloftians regard [[surface|the land below]] as a dark place and do not venture there; no Skyloftian has ever seen the surface. They worship [[Hylia]], who they simply call "the Goddess", a [[Statue of the Goddess|giant statue]] of whom dominates one of the three major landmasses of Skyloft.
Within Skyloft there is a statue of a single goddess. It is unknown how they goddess may or not relate to the three goddesses of series history, but it is likely that this goddess is the deity to which the Skyloftians pray.
