Hssiss, also called dark side dragons, were a lizard species with the ability to influence Force-sensitive beings around them. If bitten by a Hssiss, one would succumb to the effects of a dark side venom. Hssiss also had the ability to conceal themselves and become invisible, possibly doing so through the Force.
