Unidentified Matukai

"I fought a Matukai&mdash;never again!"

- Thame Cerulian's notation in The Jedi Path: A Manual of Students of the Force

A Matukai once fought with Jedi Padawan Thame Cerulian at some point during the last century of the Galactic Republic. A member of the Matukai organization of Force adepts who used the physical body to channel the Force, the Matukai proved to be a challenging opponent to Cerulian. Following the fight, the Padawan commented in his copy of the book The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force that he would "never again" want to face a Matukai in combat.

Behind the scenes
The unidentified Matukai was first mentioned in The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force, a 2010 reference book written by Daniel Wallace. Neither the Matukai's gender nor species were established in the book, nor the circumstances of the Matukai's fight with Thame Cerulian.
