- "Two factions that I know of used the shriek-hawk sigil—Clan Vizsla and Death Watch."
- ―Aran Tal
Shriek-hawks, known as jai'galaar in Mando'a,[3] and also called raptors,[5] were a species of giant predatory reptavian[1] native to the planet Mandalore[6] and the "Armorer's planet."[2] The Mandalorian Clan Vizsla used an image of a shriek-hawk diving for its prey as their clan emblem, a symbol that was later adopted by the Death Watch Mandalorian faction. The Mandalorian cataclysm had wiped out the species on Mandalore,[6] and they were believed to have become extinct.[7] However, the species survived on the other planet. One frequently caught members of the Tribe and brought them to its nest, where it fed them to its children.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Shriek-hawks first appeared in Star Wars: The Mandalorian episode "Chapter 20: The Foundling."[1] Although unnamed, they were confirmed to be shriek-hawks by Topps for Star Wars: Card Trader.[8]
