Unidentified bat-like creature

"If you go out at night&mdash;Beware. I am there. Everywhere. Between the stars. Under the clouds. Watching you."

- Unidentified member of this species

This bat-like creature was an airborne and spaceborne nocturnal predator who preferred to strike at solitary prey.

Description
These nocturnal predators possessed sentience and planned in advance their surprise strikes, choosing prey that was detached from a crowd when it least expected it and felt the most amount of fear, taunting as it approached the victim. They would then fly away with the prey and sometimes impale them on an asteroid.

Behind the scenes
This creature was shown somewhat differently in two images contained Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, a book published in 1993, although the context suggests they may be the same creature. Lucasfilm employee Leland Chee, who maintains the Holocron continuity database, has indicated that information contained in the book is non-canonical.
