Valath

"This planet's apex predator. Huge and deadly with a hide boasting unique chromatophores that allow it to blend into its background. Vader somehow killed one&mdash;a task even I would not undertake without significant preparation. And he did it without his lightsaber."

- Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin

A valath was a huge and deadly creature that was the apex predator of the planet Chandar's Folly. It had a hide that boasted unique chromatophores which allowed it to blend into its background. Whilst being hunted by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin and nineteen other hunters, Darth Vader killed a valath, without the use of his lightsaber, and wore its skin as a cloak.
