Silooth

The silooth was a type of Sith warbeast that was listed with similar creatures in The Bestiary of Darth Caldoth, a tome that the Sith Lord Darth Caldoth had compiled by 1032 BBY. By 88 BBY, the Jedi Order acquired the book and stored it in the Archive of Forbidden Artifacts in the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant. That year, the Jedi Initiates Dooku and Sifo-Dyas found the book, and Dooku read the silooth's name aloud from it alongside several other Sith warbeasts, assuming they must be hideous from what he saw.

Sifo-Dyas recognized the names as belonging to Sith warbeasts and informed Dooku, who was shocked to learn the Jedi held a text on the subject. Dooku later recounted the incident to his sister Jenza via holo-letter. Around 23 BBY, Dooku gave data disks of his conversations with Jenza to his recently recruited Sith assassin—Asajj Ventress—for her investigation into Jenza's location, and she listened to the message mentioning silooth.
