Terentatek/Legends

Terentatek were creatures which fed off the blood of Force-sensitives, and inhabited caves and tombs. Several guarded the entrance to a section of Naga Sadow's tomb. Terentatek 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. Some sources however said 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 travelled 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 so powerful and dangerous to the Jedi, that they were often dubbed 'Jedi Killers'. When the former Jedi Malak and Revan rose to power as Dark Lords of the Sith, the number of terentatek greatly increased, due to their connection to the dark side of the Force. Terentatek were also found on Tatooine, Onderon, Yavin 4, Tython, Kashyyyk and Korriban.
