Ulik and Skull

The Ulik is an alien species from Jack L. Chalkner's Midnight at the Well of Souls. It's basically an enormously powerful six-armed walrus man with a serpentine lower body. In addition to its intelligence and physical power, it is also implausibly fast, which I always thought was dumb when reading the book. If a creature has size and strength on its side, is it really necessary to give it blinding speed as well? Jack L. Chalkner, though his stories are reasonably interesting and entertaining, is not a very good writer, in my opinion. His books are also inundated with a certain adolescent horniness that is quite annoying.
Also, a big ol' carnivoran skull.
