The Sith wyrm was a massive creature that lived on the the fourth moon of Yavin in large subterranean lairs.

History

A Sith wyrm

The Sith wyrm was actually an exogorth altered through Sith alchemy by the Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow and designed as a guardian.

The ancient Massassi worshiped the beast as a god until it was killed by Exar Kun a millennia later, who did so to impress the spirit of Freedon Nadd. It was learned later that the creature was originally an infant exogorth that had attached itself to Sadow's battleship. However it is evident that there was more than one in the galaxy.

As the Sith wyrms were later hunted by the Jedi during the Great Hunt, it is evident that the creature was not the only one of his kind.

Sith wyrms eventually lived up to the Clone Wars, with Darth Sidious briefly allowing a smaller Sith wyrm to eat his blood before promptly devouring it as part of an arcane ritual to summon a storm across Coruscant. Shortly thereafter, he then summoned a gargantuan wyrm to devour him whole, only to destroy the wyrm from within, re-adopting the amiable appearance of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.
