"...and now these two horned men show up. Who are these horny headed maniacs?!"

―Hondo Ohnaka to Obi-Wan Kenobi, about Darth Maul & Savage Opress^[src]

The Zabraks were a carnivorous near-human species native to Iridonia.

About[]

As one of the most commonly found species in the galaxy, the Zabrak had a long history of space exploration and thus could be found on colonies in nearly every corner of the known galaxy. This species could be easily identified by their cranial horns which seemed to extend vertically from the forward and crown of the skull. Many Zabrak seemed to be capable of growing hair such as Eeth Koth while others like Darth Maul were bald, whether this was because of genetics or fashion is not entirely clear. Most Zabrak were also known to have a series of facial tattoos which were applied near puberty as a part of their traditional rite of passage ceremonies. These tattoos were a sign of the the species prodigious abilities in the realm of physical disciplines so much so that many in the galaxy believed the Zabrak haf combat prowess on par with that of the Mandalorians. Zabraks may have had a number of different skin tones much like the Twileks ranging from white, brown, red, orange and numerous shades in between.

Many members of this species were force sensitive, including Jedi Masters Eeth Koth and Agen Kolar. A group of Zabraks moved to Dathomir, calling themselves Nightbrothers and lived in the shadow of the Nightsisters. Amongst these Nightbrothers, Sith Lord Darth Maul became prominent before and during the Clone Wars.
