Lord Nyax

The legend of Lord Nyax was a part of the mythology of Corellia. A scary bedtime story was told to Corellian children that Lord Nyax came to steal young boys and girls from their beds.

Shortly after the Clone Wars, the Lord Nyax story became associated with Darth Vader, who also appeared, seemingly at random, to steal and kill Force-sensitive children in the dead of night before they could grow to become Jedi and a threat to the New Order.

By 1 ABY, a group called the Cult of Lord Nyax had formed, that worshiped Nyax and caused a number of terrorist attacks in his name. Their leader took up the name Lord Nyax, but was eventually killed by an unknown spacer.

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the mentally-damaged Dark Jedi-in-training Irek Ismaren assumed the name Lord Nyax.

Lord Nyax as an equivalent of the Boogie Man or is the Boogie Man in the Star WArs galaxy.
