Waru

Waru was a being from another dimension who came through due to a combination of the disturbances in the Force of a crystallizing star and Hethrir's torturing of his prisoners. He was blob-shaped and covered in gold scales, but when the scales were exposed, there was an appearance of raw flesh that oozed.

Hethrir made a deal with Waru: He would help him back to his dimension if Waru would help him obtain complete mastery over the Force. Waru agreed, and Hethrir began sacrificing selected prisoners to Waru.

Waru could heal people by feeding them some of the Force energy it had collected from previous victims, but to replace that energy, it had to kill some more people. Soon, the fact that Waru could heal people by absorbing them into it was made into a cult, and Waru had made it appear that the failure to heal some people were either accidents, or that the person being healed did not believe in him enough.

After battling Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo and Han Solo for the infant Anakin Solo, Waru gave up hope of creating a portal back to his galaxy, and pulled Hethrir into his energy field and vanished.
