- Very Large & Tall: Due to their immense size and height, it is almost impossible for Iraathites to fit in most starships and buildings without modifications
- Diet: The Iraathites are also carnivores like their sentient cousins. They are immune to most poisons and toxins that are located on the planet's surface.
- Communication: Some Iraathites are able to communicate in Galactic Basic, but most of them communicate by using a combination of body language, the Xymis Dialect & Primal noises(growls, roars, etc.)

- Religion/Beliefs: They don't follow any creed, code or lore as a whole.
- General behavior: The Iraathites work in packs, often being grouped together after being transformed from their original hosts. The Iraathites work off similar values to the Sith; Fear, Anger & Passion, which allow them to kill efficiently on the battlefield. Iraathites keep to themselves most of the time, often being put in large cages to contain their destructive behavior. Iraathites are warriors and conquerors, often fighting over being the "alpha" of the pack. The Iraathites prefer a very dim and moist environment, such as forest caverns and muddy dens.
The Iraathites are savage, reptilian genetically engineered Sithspawn mutants engineered by the infamous Sith Lord Nyvar Tyrkas thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin. Seeking to eradicate the Galactic Republic from the face of the galaxy, Nyvar opted to create an enhanced race of super soldiers to do his bidding and allowing him to control them through the Force.
In 5404 BBY, Nyvar spent most of his time engineering the Sithspawn mutant, and weeks later abducted two young Krazahn to inject them with the DNA of the Iraathite, the result being, the female Krazahn quickly succumbed to the plague, and the male transforming to what will be known as the Iraathite. After success, Nyvar created a Holocron with the location of the last known sample of the Iraathite in the Holocron and hide it in one of his massive fortresses in Krazorath's dangerous jungles.
Thousands of years later, the descendant of Nyvar, Dacien Tyrkas, reclaimed Nyvar's Holocron and located the sample of the Iraathite, there he engineered a unique mutagen that he used on himself to turn him into the Prime Alpha, which was a unique Iraathite that was double the size of the standard Iraathite, and could retain the original form of the Host.
