Uvak

Uvak were a large, membranous-winged reptavian species with sharp beaks. They were native to the planet of Kesh, where they were used by both the indigenous Keshiri and the Human Lost Tribe of Sith for transportation. Uvak were known to become attached to their riders and could be temperamental when separated from them. On Kesh, in the time before the Omen crash-landed, uvak riders, called Neshtovar, were highly respected members of Keshiri society and were thought to descend directly from the Skyborn.

Adari Vaal had inherited an uvak named Nink from her Neshtovar husband after he died. This same uvak is the one she used to escape the Keshiri mob and later during the Keshiri revolt against the Sith on Kesh around 4975 BBY. Later, Vaal also rode Nink across the sea to Keshtah Major. Following the Second Galactic Civil War, the Sith Vestara Khai owned an uvak named Tikk, which she obtained in a competition at the age of ten years old.
