OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
  • Name: Kaitusatek
  • Designation: Semi-Sentience
  • Average Lifespan: 400 years but are able to hibernate for centuries
  • Estimated Population: Rare
  • Description: Standing around five meters with thick bony plates that are like armor, the beast is a cross breed of terentateks that look more like terenta's. Their bone plates taking on a darker coloring and to adapt to their predominantly water environment their tails have become a much larger fin for movement. Gills along the underside of their body with braccial lungs able to survive on land when in muddy areas. Their poisonous spines and claws have devolved and gone away in favor of powerful muscles and their tail which has a wicked edge to it acting like a powerful blade that can harm most of the creatures on the planet.
PHYSICAL INFORMATION
  • Breathes: Type I
  • Average Height of Adults: 5m
  • Average Length of Adults: 10m
  • Skin color: Dark green and black
  • Hair color: hairless
  • Distinctions: Longer bladed tails, lack of poisoned spines and tusks, hunched statue and armored plates.
  • Races: Terentatek sub-species
  • Force Sensitivity: Rare
Strengths:
  • Terentatek: While somethings have changed it has retained a few of its bred in capabilities. Its hide is highly resistant to the force, its bony plates are more like armor being able to resist initially lightsabers and its ability to sense the force and hunt through it users makes them dangerous around jedi or sith.
  • Aquatic adaption: Gills and lung that allow it to survive in water or on land, powerful tail that doubles like a powerful blade and dark coloring that blends in with the brackish waters of Ahch-To.
Weaknesses:
  • Hibernation: Something big, the hibernation cycle has become more of a crutch allowing the Kaitustek to leapfrog through the ages by sleeping in the depths of the ocean and awakening when a strong force presence is on the planet... but it also means when there is not a high amount of force users on the world it becomes sluggish and falls asleep into an almost catatonic state that can last for decades or even hundreds of years.
  • Force Creature: Being born from a sithspawn and evolved over centuries from it the large lizards are vulnerable more when around force nullification equipment or artifacts. They can be sensed like a darkside beacon by others and when they are hunted down the hide loses its potency unless alchemically treated to preserve a small amount of the force and saber protection.
CULTURE
  • Diet: Carnivore:
  • Communication: Roars and mewling sounds
  • Technology level: Below galactic Standard
  • Religion/Beliefs: N/A
  • General behavior: Highly aggressive towards anything that comes close to it, generally attacking by charging and swiping its tail to try and cause the most damage so it can bite into whatever it has attacked. In water it tries to grab and pull under while rolling to jostle and knock out. THen takes them down and pins them under a rock to soften the meat. They are regarded and avoided the the caretakers of the planet who mark the caves and teach their children how best to avoid them. The beasts hibernation cycles are long and most seem to reappear as force turbulence coems to the galaxy specifically onto the planet with a larger concentration of force users. If there is nothing happening with the force then they will enter into a catatonic state that seems more like suspended animation. With their young, the parents will teach the small children until they are larger and able to move into their own territory.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Originally appearing on the world a few hundred years after the great hyperspace war when its progenitor was dispersed to several worlds strong in the force. At the time it wasn't much known but the beast was released to hunt down force users specifically jedi so the few things that came to the world were left on the main islands. There was not much for them to find as the world itself was strong in the force but in order to move between the islands evolution eventually over a few thousand years saw them change. Better able to move through the waters and fidning proper prey on some of the larger islands with the caretakers and visiting jedi.

The caretakers over the centuries have come to fear and revere them.. they are dangerous predators on the world but they are also low enough in their population and in remote caves that they can be avoided except by the unaware. The jedi visitors to the world discovered and fought a few of them writing down the dangers in books and scrolls that were brought to the Jedi Repository on the world and only recently discovered by the Jadeite. With their studious nature a few teams were sent to try and observe or tag one to study it. There was a rarity as this wasn't another great hunt like the jedi previously did it.

The Jadeites observations were taken down and one of the smaller creatures was captured and observed with a small droid in a controlled environment. To try and learn what they could without harming him they released it back into the environment with gps tags and micro cameras. The test subject did not fare well as once they came back to a cave and in there was attacked being killed which led to them not trying to tag and observe first hand another one. Probe droids that could be sent in were much easier to have cursory observations instead. Markings on the maps for the Jadeite that have been marked as dangerous with the creatures and others across the planet.

The relative unknowns for the beasts is half the fun to the jedi on the world.. wanting to learn what they can about the creatures while not exterminating them unless they become a large threat. THey are not overpopulating and go into hibernation trances for extended periods of time when there is not a strong force presenc eon the world. Trying to understand the evolution and changes to the beasts has given the biological aspects of the jedi and some of the other sciences more to do. Their artisans have used and experimented with deceased ones hide and tail blades to see how shapeable and if it could be used by force users.

I like this, and it's awesome to see some things added to this cool world. The one thing I'd ask is, if you can, to add a link to where the gif is from. Like, where could we find this particular gif. Other than that, looks awesome!
