“Sky’s Master”

Reborn, Marzana sits where earth and sky collide. Her Chirodactyl, the greatest symbol of Dathomir, serves as reminder of what can be achieved through mastery of both magic and spirit.

"Star Wars Bestiary, Vol. 1: Creatures of the Galaxy" is a Canon reference book written by S.T. Bende, illustrated by Iris Compiet, published by Insight Editions, and released on November 5, 2024.

These are chirodactyl. Where as the nightsisters ride rancor, and the nightbrothers ride wolf-boars, the witches of the Misty Falls Clan favor chirodactyl as their mount of choice.

The obvious upside is flight. The downsides would be their smell, brainless hunger, and ill temper.

Startling examples of early offerings have been preserved in the cave: tokens for the chirodactyl made in exchange for the health and protection of the brothers, suggesting a practice in sympathetic magic, or that there was a shared belief that the chirodactyl — one of the oldest of its species on Dathomir — may have possessed magical powers.

Several of the pictographs have been smeared with mushling inks to simulate Nightbrother markings, and many have faded paints in place to suggest variations of goldenrod, brown, butter yellow, and crimson skin. The most daring and elaborate pictographs must have taken hours to etch, the risk to self less than the dangers presented to those Nightbrothers requiring supernatural aid.

My friend dubbed this one, "Bat Outta Hell". He listens to too much Meatloaf.

It has ties to the battle with Jedi Fallen Order's own Gorgara on Dathomir.
