Shriek-hawks were a species of avian predator native to the Outer Rim world of Mandalore. Known as a jai'galaar in the Mandalorian language of Mando'a, the shriek-hawk possessed a unique cry—loud and piercing—from which it earned its name. Its natural prowess as a hunter made the shriek-hawk an icon in the Mandalorian culture, inspiring traditional iconography such as the jaig eyes sigil, and the stylized symbol of Clan Vizsla.
