Terentatek

Terentatek are creatures that fed off of the blood of Force-sensitives. They originally evolved on Korriban, where the power and presence of the Dark Side of the Force gradually distorted their shapes and corrupted their minds. As a side effect, terentatek became virtually immune to effects of the Force.

Terentatek resemble rancors, exept they have a number of spines growing from their backs and they have a pair of mandibles attached to their mouths. Some sources claim that they were first created on Yavin 4 by Exar Kun as one of his experiments in 3,997 BBY.

During an event known as the Great Hunt, numerous Jedi traveled throughout the galaxy to try to exterminate the terentatek. None of the hunts were ever completely successful, and terentatek numbers would gradually rise again. They were one of the most dangerous creatures ever bred by the Sith. They were so powerful and dangerous to the Jedi that they were often dubbed "Jedi Killers."

Even though Korriban was destroyed by the third Death Star, terentateks are known to have been found on Kashyyyk, Tatooine, Onderon, Tython, and Yavin 4. There are doubtless other worlds out there where the terentatek still lurks.
