Gorgara

Gorgara was a female chirodactyl that resided on the planet Dathomir, known in local legends as "the winged daemon of the canyon." When Gorgara began to collect bones, it was a sign of unrest. Gorgara was part of a rite of passage for the strongest Nightbrothers - to venture into her lair and return alive.

This female chirodactyl lived in areas that were very difficult to access, at altitudes that it was foolish to try to reach without a ship, or in the dark depths of gloomy canyons and caves.

With a wingspan of several dozen meters, eyes that seemed to be blind, enormous talons, and a head reminiscent of an owl with teeth, Gorgara feared no rival. For good reason: she was classified as a super-predator, with no known predator that could take her down. Nevertheless, despite her power, size and the dangers that surrounded her territory, Gorgara was killed in a battle with the Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis after crashing into a wall of rock whilst attempting to throw Kestis from her hair.

Even with the clawed wingtips and the sonic howl capable of even causing shockwaves, the Jedi wounded it in her lair, forcing her to flee. Gorgara counterattacked when Kestis attempted to climb a cliffside to the upper reaches of the ruins of Dathomir. However, injured and disoriented by the Jedi who clung to her neck, the chirodactyl hit many rocks in mid-air until she fell to her death. Despite his insistence on killing Kestis, the Jedi regretted her death.
