Nydak Alpha

The Nydak Alpha was a rare subtype of the Lesser Nydak, apex predators native to the Outer Rim Territories planet Dathomir. They shared many similarities with the Lesser Nydak, such as their black eyes, though it had several differences including its light blue and gray skin, with larger spikes along their limbs and back. Additionally, their bones were hardened and rich in nutrients due to being covered by a resistant hide, making it impossible to sever its arms. Their forearms allowed for versatile climbing and asymmetrical traversal.

The Nydak Alphas were more aggressive, relentless, and reclusive than the Lesser Nydaks. Due to their powerful forearms, they were also deadlier than the regular nydaks. In combat, the Nydak Alpha used intellect and strength to defend against multiple parries.

In 14 BBY, the Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis visited Dathomir as part of a secret mission to rebuild the Jedi Order. During his journey, Kestis killed a Nydak Alpha in the planet's Nightmare Ruins.
