Tuk'ata Hound

The Force-sensitive tuk'ata hounds, otherwise known as Sith hounds or simply tuk'ata, guarded the tombs of the Dark Lords of the Sith on Korriban for thousands of years before its destruction by the third Death Star. They were fearless sentinels and would kill anything that dared to intrude upon their domain.

The pair of thin, insectile, arms sprouting from atop their shoulders were generally considered to be vestigial wings and were tipped with poisonous stingers. The poison acted on contact, numbing any flesh it touched. When injected into a being's body, the poison shut down muscles and other vital systems, including the heart and lungs, leading to a swift and painful death.

Since tuk'ata were often sealed inside of tombs, it is believed that they drew nourishment from the Force itself, supplementing this by feeding on small vermin or other creatures that infested the structures.

The tuk'ata were at least semi-sentient and could speak the Sith language.

Since Korriban’s destruction, it is unknown if any tuk’ata still survive on other planets.
