- Designation: Sentient
- Origins: Amaltanna
- Average Lifespan: 200 Galactic Standard Years
- Estimated Population: Unique
- Description: A horrifying amalgamation of equine, insectoid, reptilian, and mammalian traits, the Dzita iw Arika is truly a monster meant to utterly crush its victims and claim their souls for the dark side.

- Skin color: Off-white for the equine-insectoid part, orange-green for the main body
- Hair color: Brownish-yellow to orange-red
- Distinctions: The most distinctive physical traits of the Dzita is its large equine/insectoid lower body, the large stinger at the end, and the pseudo-metallic armor that was formed from the Colicoid's chitin that covers the front parts of its lower body and much of its upper body.
- Force Sensitivity: All (There is only one individual)
- Like all Project Aura Sithspawn, the Dzita is immensely powerful in the dark side of the Force and has focused his powers to take advantage of his physique and compliments its name:
Force Lightning - Force Projection
- Force Speed
- Enhance Attribute
- Darkshear (forms it into a lance)
- Force Destruction
- Sith Magic
Waves of Darkness - Dark Energy Trap
[*]The armor that covers portions of its body are much like alchemically treated metal and are highly resistant to lightsabers and other weapons.
[*]The Dzita is physically very powerful, easily five times stronger than a Wookiee, and is also very heavy, making use of his increased mass when he crushes victims beneath him and tramples over much anything in his path.
[*]Due to the ritual in his creation, the Dzita's stinger carries a potent venom that it can fire out as a projectile attack against enemies to weaken the molecular bonds of their bodies and armor.
Weaknesses:
- If subjected to a ysalamiri bubble or void stone, not only with the Dzita lose his command of the Force until he is outside of the circumference, but he will become lethargic and slow moving.
- While the armor that it wears, formed from the chitin of the Colicoid, covers a good portion of its body, parts of it are still exposed and can be injured.
- Like all other Project Aura Sithspawn, the Dzita is susceptible to direct applications of the light side but can handle more such attacks than other Sithspawn.
- It only ever has enough venom for four attacks, once it is used up, it needs to feed again to rebuild its reserves and it cannot do so in the midst of battle.
- Because of its heavy mass, it can't move through deep water or swim, instilling a deep fear within it of large bodies of water.
- Because of its heavy mass, when it is charging, it takes a great deal of effort for it to change direction if at all. His momentum is rather immense, and that takes time to change.
- Diet: Omnivore, Force and Life Energies
- Communication: Can speak and understand Basic and High Sith
- Technology level: While he has access to Galactic Standard technology, like his fellows, the Dzita eschews its use
- Religion/Beliefs: Like other Project Aura Sithspawn, the Dzita has come to worship the Sith Lords and Ladies as gods and believes himself to be one of their superior instruments. In his mind, every victim that he destroys is an offering to his dark gods that increases their power and influence upon the material galaxy, furthering the ultimate goal of the dark side's domination of all living things.
- General behavior: The Dzita is an aggressive and arrogant creature, and finds great enjoyment in the feel of his enemies being crushed beneath him. In combat, he will surround himself with Force Lightning and charge at his enemies with speed augmented by the Force or attack with bursts of Force Destruction or a lance created by Darkshear. However, the Dzita does have a somewhat cowardly side if he senses he is losing a fight and will make use ofForce Projection to create copies of himself to trick an opponent or use Waves of Darkness and Dark Energy Traps to immobilize his enemies for a much easier kill. When not in combat, the Dzita tends to large open spaces and prefers to exercise his powers and body to keep himself honed for war.
As the next Project Aura Sithspawn, the Lady of Secrets returned to the more destructive aspect that encapsulates the more monstrous of her creations. For the base subject for the next creature, Taeli selected a being that had been an irritation to several of her retrieval operations in the western part of the galaxy. A Sanyassan raider known as Kelletos had been attacking some of her science teams, so Taeli dispatched Eldaah and a few of her Adepts to bring him to her. The mission was a success, with her apprentice spiriting away the ape-like reptilian and his horse mount to Amaltanna.
At the same time, Taeli was approached by a Colicoid known as Xem who desired genetic perfection and had heard tales of the powers of the Lady of Secrets. He was offered a chance to become something greater and eagerly accepted. Upon Kelletos' arrival, he was forced into the ritual room with Xem and his horse still and subjected to the melding and empowering rituals of her Sith Alchemy and Magic.
What emerged from the cocoon was a horrific monster of various traits from the base subjects, a monster that was given the name of the Dzita iw Arika, the Chariot of Souls. The new monster was fiercely loyal to the Sith, and with the powers gifted to him by the Lady of Secrets, desired to destroy any and all enemies of the dark side to see the ultimate vision of the Sith come to fruition.
