[Restricted] Sithspawn Profile: Darklings, Nightdires and Mistflayers (By Sarias)

[Sarias]

Sithspawn information (based on witness accounts, alike Kaer’s report, as well as experiments and an autopsy reports by Sith Sarias).

Current status: Primary source eradicated, however at least one stray pocket was discovered and eradicated on Dromund Kaas.

Darkling: (small). A few living specimen kept in containment

• Strong aversion to light. Direct sunlight will turn to dust, artificial light able to heavily irritate the skin and cause burning damage (akin to torturing it).
  
• Humanoid bone structure, brain outside its skull.
  
• Has been observed to move in swarms and multiple numbers, likely the most numerous of the sithspawn.
  
• Swift in movements, likely able to scale the interior walls or move through hidden tunnels.
  

Method of killing:

• Destruction of exposed brain
  
• Use their smaller size to simply crush them, or ensuring their limbs are cut first to lessen mobility.
  

Unknown Female Darkling
<No visual image of a live specimen>

• Holds a rough appearance of the darklings, though larger and with distinct features of a humanoid female
  
• Able to withstand some amounts of damage to the body, with some marked resilience
  
• The variant is how further darklings are produced through eggs
  

Nightdire: (medium) - A leg is kept in cyro containment

• Strong aversion to light. Direct sunlight will turn to dust, artificial light able to heavily irritate the skin and cause burning damage (akin to torturing it).
  
• High readings of Nexu genetic markers, thus any anti-venom possessed used to treat its toxins likely to work. (Theory, not yet tested).
  
• Bone structure of a Nexu
  
• Spikes on the back holds venom trapped by the trips
  
• Boney tail with a sharp point, akin to that of a blade
  

Method of killing:

• Serving the tail and using their staggered pause to kill them.
  
• Targeting their limbs to render them less mobile, using their larger frames against them
  

Mistflayer: (Large) - No physical corpse recovered

• Very tough hide. Lightsabers can pierce it but requires quite an amount of strength.
  
• Has some aversion to light, unknown if alike the prior due to limited information and lack of corpses to investigate.
  

Method of killing:

• Targeting of the eyes, appearing to be their weakpoint. Presumably also if attacked through the mouth, as it passes the skin barrier, but the eyes are recommended.
  
• Force powers such as Force shock and lighting, and those utilizing more potent dark-sided abilities has an effect on them.
  

Unknown female Humanoid - A single, living specimen is kept in containment
<No visual drawing made>

• Humanoid in size, appears as a disfigured female human with claw-like appendages at the end of their arms
  
• No reaction to light, artificial or the sun
  
• Contains traces of some species, notably a minor instance of rancor blood. Likely origin of their strenght
  
• Has a high-pitched screech which can stun those in the immediate vicinity
  
• Has mobility enough to jump
  
• Highly aggressive, attacking anything in sight
  
• Unknown venom embedded in its teeth. Avoid being bitten due to potential lethality
  
• Has been observed to be able to break down walls in larger numbers, indicating some strength
  

Method of killing

• Targeting of the head and legs, the latter to render it immobile, the former to take it out.
  
• Destruction at range, avoiding melee if possible
  

Note: Has only been seen in one encounter in a centralized cave of its creator.
