- Designation: Semi-sentient
- Origins: Kratos (Korrithon Moon)
- Average Lifespan: About 30 years
- Estimated Population: Planetary
- Description: Long, curved, unnervingly thin bodies with dark blue, purple or black skin, with long, equally thin limbs and long neck, leading to a mawing head, the Naktidis beasts are native to the feral moon of Kratos, orbiting Korrithon. Their claws bear razor sharp long nails that can cut sometimes even through armour, after being sharpened by their beastmasters, while many are being tattooed by the clan's colours. Due to the long and curved shape of their nails, these beasts tend to walk on their fingers, which produces little to no sound, making them highly capable stealthy predators.

- Mounts of War. The Black Valkyries are known to utilize these beasts as mounts, using the beasts' nature to their advantage.
Strengths:
- Soundless Stalkers. Due to their throat anatomy and their strange walking, these creatures can move across almost any terrain producing little, to no sound, making them ideal stealth-troop mounts.
- Ignorant of the Force. The Naktidis Beasts are able to see through any Force energy which distorts vision, or alters the air around them.
- Thin-skinned. Meant to be stealthy ambush-predators, these beasts are unable to wear any form of armour, or receive Force Enchantments, making them vulnerable to battle-wounds.
- Rule of One Loyalty. The Naktidis Beasts always see a single individual, which have spent most their lives with, as companion and beastmaster, refusing any other to control them. This, in case the rider dies, makes them dangerous, as they are no longer usable by the Host.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Naktidis Beasts are one of the prominent predators of Kratos. Their species most of the times operates in small packs, setting ambushes in which they trap their preys. As part of adulthood initiation for the warrior-culture of the locals, a youth must hunt and tame a Naktidis beast, to be accepted by the Warriors of his or her clan. When tamed, a rather uneasy task which cannot happen if the beast is over 3 years old, then the warrior capturing it takes the beast as his or her own pet and companion. Strangely enough, these beast do not reproduce while in captivity which leads them, once in their lifetime to be sent off to the wilderness. It is unknown how, or how effectivelly these creatures bring forth heirs, with many believing that the natives intentionally keep the breed wild, for the purpose of maintaining the savage nature of the beast.
