Dzym was a genetically altered male Droch from Nam Chorios. He was grown from his small insectoid form to take the appearance and height of a humanoid. He conspired with Seti Ashgad and nearly invaded the New Republic with his fellow drochs, but was stopped by the Tsil and Luke Skywalker.
Dzym was a droch genetically altered by Beldorion the Hutt's cook as a treat for the Hutt to eat. He became sentient and killed the cook. In cahoots with Seti Ashgad, he plotted to take drochs off Nam Chorios, thus devastating the galaxy, and providing himself eternal feeding grounds. He was killed during the attempt to launch off-world by the local population, who had been influenced by Luke Skywalker. At his death, Dzym was two hundred and fifty years old.
Despite his appearance as a gaunt humanoid, without his robe, he was decidedly alien. His torso and fingertips were covered in razor-sharp toothed orifices. He had the same ability to leech life as other droch beetles, and in one instance ate one of the larger crab-like drochs, describing the flavor as "sweet."
