The Juka are an ancient race of sentient, lizard-like humanoids that are indigenous to Ilshenar. Theirs is a warrior race. According to Floria’s Ultima Info Page, Juka society is built upon a tradition of unshakable virtues: courage, honesty, and a respect for one's enemy. Their very souls depend on a strict adherence to these principles; the Juka call it "the Way". They believe that they are bound for the Great Hall of Honor if they die with distinction or for oblivion if they die in disgrace.

Originally, the Juka were part of Ilshenar's distant past rather than its present. The Juka clans fought each other for centuries until they turned against the Meer and destroyed the Meer forests. The meddlings of Lord Blackthorn and Exodus brought back the Juka race, thus altering Ilshenar's timeline.
