Dathomirian/Legends

Dathomirians, or Dathomiri, were a sentient hybrid near-Human species between Humans and Zabraks, native to the Outer Rim world of Dathomir.

Description
Dathomirian females tended to have pale gray or white skin and usually blue eyes, as well as sporting tall and thin bodies. Their male counterpart more closely resembled Zabraks, muscular and powerfully-built who sported skin patterns (similar to Sith tattoos) and had larger and sharper horns. Females tended to exhibit a certain athleticism, while males usually possessed powerful strength. All specimens on Dathomir were Force-sensitive, though this was due to the genetic Force-sensitive component of the female Human Nightsisters that helped breed the sub-species.

History
Although the term "Dathomirian" was originally used in reference to the culture of Force-sensitive Witches of Dathomir descended from the Human Jedi Allya, it eventually evolved to describe the hybrid near-Human species born from mating between Dathomir's Human female Nightsisters and a group of Zabraks from Rattatak who had arrived on Dathomir during pirate raids.

Typical of Dathomiri culture, these Zabraks "malelings" were enslaved by the Nightsisters for breeding, slave labor and other purposes, and became known as the Nightbrothers. While male Dathomirians resulting from interbreeding would retain a majority of the traits of their Zabrak ancestors, female Dathomirians would exhibit pale skin and no vestigial horns.

At least one female Dathomirian, Asajj Ventress, was commonly referred to as Rattataki&mdash;a near-human species that resembled the Dathomirians to some extent. Although Ventress was not genetically a Rattataki, she had spent a considerable part of her life on the planet, eventually coming to rule a large portion of it. (It should be noted that the forebears of the Nightbrothers did arrive on Dathomir from Rattatak.) The famous Sith Lord Darth Maul was believed to be a full-blooded Zabrak, though he was in fact a Dathomirian Zabrak with a full-blooded Human mother.

On the whole, Dathomirians only represented a tiny percentage of the population of Dathomir&mdash;the planet hosted about 5,200 inhabitants, 97% of which were Humans. Most of the Dathomirians were killed when General Grievous attack their coven during the Clone Wars, with Ventress and Mother Talzin the only survivors. With the species' destruction, Dathomir's full-blooded Human Nightsister returned to their former prominence with their true founders reorganizing and reassuming control over them all.

Despite the nomenclature being specifically assigned to the Human-Zabrak hybrid species that evolved on Dathomir, the terms "Dathomirian" and "Dathomiri" were also often used to describe the pure-blooded Humans who were Witches of Dathomir.

Society and Culture
The Dathomirians were a tribal people, and tended to use dark side magic. The people also worshipped the Fanged God and the Winged Goddess, as well as enslaving many immigrated Zabrak species to do their biddings. Many of these species traveled by usually piloting a Nightsister speeder, which came in handy. Almost all known Dathomirians were known to use the power of the Dark side of the force, as all known members were Force-sensitive.
