Ziki with Dr. Galavant

Ziki the Yik Yik (Horned fox) is a character that appears in puppet form in the style of Epcot's long-gone Figment and Dreamfinder meet and greet or the baby dinosaurs seen at Universal's Jurassic Park areas. Ziki is carried around in a Yuta-crafted basket hung along the handler's shoulder (a role rotated between Dr. Marion Galavant and Tunika), with only the head, tail and front paws being visible. Ziki takes their name from the Aukipi word for "orange", referring to their fur color and has a taste for things with that color.

It is possible that Ziki's true main caretaker is the Yuta creaturist Gilli, who is often depicted with a Yik Yik at her side. Yik Yiks are also the subject of one of the park's storybooks, "Yik Yik! Says the Yik Yik", which is sold as a book/plush bundle and can be seen in totem form at Yuta Falls. Fox tracks in the pavement near Pengali Ruin also suggest the presence of Yik Yiks.
