GENERAL INFORMATION

• Name: Dathomirian River Wolf
• Designation: Non-sentient
• Origins: Dathomir
• Average Lifespan: 5 - 7 years
• Estimated Population: Planetary
• Description: The Wolf Fish looks the part of a horrifying sea creature. With a mouth lined with razor and jagged sharp teeth and a body designed to patrol the rivers and swamps like a predator. Its spiny fins and appendages not only look intimidating, but carry a nasty surprise. They have big eyes which they utilize to track prey.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION

• Breathes: Type I
• Average Height of Adults: 10.16 cm.
• Average Length of Adults: 17.78 cm.
• Skin color: Blueish - Purple
• Hair color: N/A
• Distinctions: There are three distinctions that distinguish the males from the females. The first is the body, where the females tend to be less 'bright' in color. The second is the color of the iris, where the males are much darker in color. Finally, females have more of those tiny barbs on the front of their body.
• Races: N/A
• Force Sensitivity: Non-Sensitive

Strengths:

• Pack Hunters: The Dathomiran River Wolf are classified as pack hunters, hence how their name came about. They hunt in numbers, with some schools ranging between twenty-five to thirty; and with devastating sharp teeth, they're a devastating force to reckon with.
• Toxic Defense: As a defensive mechanism, which they are immune to against one another, they can inject a neurotoxin called Tetrodotoxin through the tiny barbs on their body or their flesh. This toxin can cause paralysis, loss of breathing (water and non-water species), and death.

Weaknesses:

• Overly Aggressive: The aggression the fish harbors is fearsome and ferocious. They will attack anything, regardless of size, that strays into their path. Plus, they have a strong territorial nature.
• Cannibalistic Metabolism: The fish's metabolism is so overly charged, that they will eat anything, including each other. This is a result from their overly aggressive nature.

CULTURE

• Diet: Carnivore
• Communication: They communicate through body language. Most notably, the males conduct a 'ritualistic dance' to attract a female.
• Technology level: N/A
• Religion/Beliefs: N/A
• General behavior: The Wolf Fish is extremely aggressive, attacking anything regardless of size. This is due to their overly territorial nature. They are mostly active during the day, lying dormant, or sleeping, during the night time hours. Once a female lays her eggs and the male fertilizes them, both parents abandon the eggs; in which the fry collective must learn to adapt on their own. It is generally believed the new fries usually form a school together for safety, in which they grow into maturity together.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The Dathomiran Wolf Fish can be found all throughout the planets water sources, most prominently in the rivers, lakes, and swamps; though the latter their numbers are not as high as the other two. In the waters where they are known mostly to be, they usually dominate the majority of the region.

The fish was first discovered nearly 2,000BBY by explorers who sought to map out the planet. There are several reports about collected data and encounters with the pack hunters, describing their hostile nature and the toxin they carry with them.

Despite the toxin they can emit through both through the barbs and from their flesh, they are a well known delicacy among the Nightsisters and Nightbrothers. With the Imperial occupation of Dathomir during the reign of the Galactic Empire, the fish was a mainstay on the dietary menu of the Imperial forces.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Name: Ossothious
• Designation: Non-sentient
• Origins: Dathomir
• Average Lifespan: 20 - 30 years
• Estimated Population: Planetary
• Description: The snake has black skin with grey patches across it's body. It's eyes glow red, and its maw is covered with razor sharp teeth. It's body is thick, with powerful muscles that can be seen rippling as it slithers across the ground.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION

• Breathes: Type I
• Average Height of Adults: N/A
• Average Length of Adults: 5 meters
• Skin color: Black and Grey
• Hair color: N/A
• Distinctions: The most prominent distinction is the glowing red eyes that look sinister, but hold no benefit to the snake. The one true difference between the males and females is the female of the species has a bigger girth to their body, which is a result for pregnancy to lay eggs.
• Races: N/A
• Force Sensitivity: Non-Sensitive

Strengths:

• Crushing Strength: The strength of the snake rests in its constricting ability. Its powerful constriction can crush bones quickly as it suffocates its prey. Once caught in its coil, there is no escape.
• Razor Teeth: The mouth consists of top and lower rows of razor sharp teeth. The teeth serve two purposes, with the first being for defense; where it's bite can rip and tear through flesh. The second purpose is to hold it's prey after it catches it, keeping it in place as it begins to coil around it.
• Speed: For it's size, the snake has unbelievable speed for a species that requires slithering for movement.

Weaknesses:

• Sun Sickness: The snake is not entirely nocturnal, choosing to stay in areas where it is dark. Its decision to hunt at night and in dark areas is a result of a sickness from exposure to sun gamma rays. Though it will not kill it, it will cause it to become lethargic and other hamperments; making it susceptible to other predators.
• Fast Metabolism: The metabolism of the snake forces it to feed more often than those of other snake species. As such, it is almost driven to eat.
• Poor Eyesight: The snake's red eyes are misleading. It was believed they could see in the dark, but in fact they are nearly blind. Thus, they rely on other senses and the vibrations on the ground from moving prey to hunt.

CULTURE

• Diet: Carnivore
• Communication: There is no communication from this species, including between them.
• Technology level: N/A
• Religion/Beliefs: N/A
• General behavior: There is no family life among the species. They procreate, seperate, the male leaves, and the female lays her eggs. After the hatchlings are born, the mother will nurse them for about three months before abandoning them. Because of their high metabolism, they are advent hunters; one of the best on Dathomir. Because of their sun sickness, they tend to hunt more at night, but they are not nocturnal by nature.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The Ossothious is a species of snake inhabiting the planet of Dathomir, which can be found in caves, cliffs, and canyons. It's considered a constrictor by the method it kills and consumes its prey. The
Ossothious have been on the planet since the discovery of Dathomir, and is considered the apex predator of the snake classification on Dathomir.

The snakes tend to live a solitary life, for the exception for mating, and are occasionally seen, mostly at night or in dark secluded caves, cliffs with small dark pockets, and canyons where the sun rarely touches. They prey on small mammals, lizards, and birds which consists of their main diet, but will consume other prey outside their normal diet.

Considering the speed they possess, they are ambush hunters; striking quickly to obtain their prey. The snake's size can be been seen as a threat, especially with those teeth in their maw, but in fact are shy and docile. They are known to only strike out at much bigger prey, ones they cannot consume, when they are cornered and threatened. Some snakes have been raised as pets by the Nightsisters, and are in fact make excellent companions.
