Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Night Spirit was an evil deity in the beliefs of various groups on the Forest Moon of Endor. It was worshiped by the Duloks but feared by the Ewoks.

According to Ewok belief, the Night Spirit came to Endor in a meteorite. The Ewoks of Bright Tree Village believed that the Spirit desired the Sunstar so that it could raise the spirits of evil beings on Endor. The Night Spirit sometimes appeared to believers in a ghostlike form. The deity feared the Ewoks' Tree of Light, which kept it at bay during daylight hours. The Ewoks believed that the Lantern of Sacred Light also kept the Night Spirit away. They also believed the native dragon-like mantigrues served this evil deity.
