The Gormak Guardian was a vorantikus that had been granted sentience by the dark side entity Sel-Makor. Sel-Makor also gave the beast the power to spread his influence and set it among the Gormak on the planet Voss, intending to use it as a pawn to corrupt the Gormak. However, the Guardian was killed by the Jedi Knight known as the Hero of Tython during a raid on the King's Hall beneath Gorma-Koss.
