Nihrot

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

Nihrot was the semi-organic product of the Sith alchemist Lord Kanoth's research into Sith alchemy and the Mass Shadow Generator on the Unmasked research station. What exactly nihrot was is unclear, however it was created by Lord Kanoth and seemed to be connected in some way to his physical body. According to Kanoth, the creation of nihrot made him similar to Darth Nihilus, who was a wound in the Force, and consumed all around him. Nihrot was almost indestructible, and was instrumental in Lord Kanoth's creation of the nihrotic monstrosity and Watchdog. Despite large portions of the research station being covered in nihrot, Lord Kanoth was eventually killed by the Alliance Commander in the mission to the R-4 anomaly and with the station's destruction, nihrot was presumably destroyed alongside it.
