“Sky’s Master”

Reborn, Marzana sits where earth and sky collide. Her Chirodactyl, the greatest symbol of Dathomir, serves as reminder of what can be achieved through mastery of both magic and spirit.

Chirodactyl (Canon)

"Star Wars Bestiary, Vol. 1: Creatures of the Galaxy" is a Canon reference book written by S.T. Bende, illustrated by Iris Compiet, published by Insight Editions, and released on November 5, 2024.

These are chirodactyl. Where as the nightsisters ride rancor, and the nightbrothers ride wolf-boars, the witches of the Misty Falls Clan favor chirodactyl as their mount of choice.

The obvious upside is flight. The downsides would be their smell, brainless hunger, and ill temper.

They have a very ill temper.

The practice of making the ascent to the cave beneath the Witch's Horn fell out of use after 10 BBY. The lair, once the roost of the chirodactyl called Gorgara, retains hydraatis acid markings left by former Nightbrothers who made the journey up the peak.

Startling examples of early offerings have been preserved in the cave: tokens for the chirodactyl made in exchange for the health and protection of the brothers, suggesting a practice in sympathetic magic, or that there was a shared belief that the chirodactyl — one of the oldest of its species on Dathomir — may have possessed magical powers.

Several of the pictographs have been smeared with mushling inks to simulate Nightbrother markings, and many have faded paints in place to suggest variations of goldenrod, brown, butter yellow, and crimson skin. The most daring and elaborate pictographs must have taken hours to etch, the risk to self less than the dangers presented to those Nightbrothers requiring supernatural aid.

Dathomir's "brotherhood", it seems, extends beyond concern for the individual, often petitioning the creature to grant favour to those in need: wellness, good fortune, safe keeping for the smallest and most vulnerable of the Nightbrother warriors subject to the dangers of their world.

My friend dubbed this one, "Bat Outta Hell". He listens to too much Meatloaf.

It has ties to the battle with Jedi Fallen Order's own Gorgara on Dathomir.

Initially it was supposed to be Obi-wan out there standing with a different pose but I couldn't decide on a good one so we went with the cloak. The light-saber color may be a little off and of course the chirodactyl isn't completely canon looking. Gorgara had a much smaller mouth and such.

The image itself is based off a dream I had a while ago that sort morphed into an idea for a story.

Basically, Cody gets left behind in some gully after a battle, speeder broken and all that and this witch appears out of the mist and wants revenge against Grievous. So she turns him into this fucking bat and everywhere he flew this wall of green flame rose over the ground. It was a pretty sick dream and then there was this whole subplot in my brain about these bacteria? Like they ate certain parts of flesh but only certain parts? Like???

Yeah, I might track a fanfic writer down who's doing commissions or requests. Or I'll actually sit down and write it, I'm pretty rusty though. :) Life is so busy like that.
